Sister Yvonner Ridley

[radiyah]

Bismillah

That is ok I am not offended or taking it as disrespect. No problem. Probably he will start feeling bad again after sometimes like he did before.

It is that he keeps saying that we judge people, and he is judging us. Anyways, now to the point u raised John. About our sister Muslimahs in Afghan:


First: Why do u care so much about them and keep calling them your sister muslimahs, as if u were a muslim yourself ?


Second: We did not say that the Taliban regime, is the most perfect islamic ruling, after the death of the four khalifites in islam, many muslim rulers who came were not perfect, none is perfect, but we cannot say that they are not ruling fully according to Islam they might have right and wrong doings, they are only humans, they are not saints, and u must know that islam is flexible, if u study sharia' and fiqh, u must know that when one scholar make a fatwa in his own community according to the society he is living in, the same fatwa may differ from another society. For example, driving in saudi arabia for women. driving is not haram, but the scholars there prohibit it because they are more aware of the saudi society and tradition and what are the bad consicounses that will happen from the woman driving now. So taliban may make fatwas according to their own tradition and society that they are more aware of. And we will leave the judging of their intentions to Allah(SWT). It is not our right to say if they are right or wrong, we are hearing from only one side of media as I told u before.


Third: Now would I like to switch places with my sisters under Taliban:


1- As I told u y should i, I am not afghani. And I cannot answer your question unless


I go there and c for myself. If i told u no then, i am giving myself the right to judge people whom I did not live with, which is not my right. And if I said yes, also I cannot because I do not know how life is there. But what I see in the media now, that there are many afghani girls who are removing thier veils, joining olympic games, and wearing tight clothes and shorts, which for sure I would not like to be.


2- But if I had a chance to go there, and see the truth only then I will answer your


Question.


Again I tell u there is poverty and lack of education all over the world, y stress on taliban, there is unjust in the whole world y taliban, just because they are muslims?

What has that got to do with the Taliban ? Why do you divert attention away

I am not diverting attention u called sister Muslimah as being "What sanctimonious clap trap" I am responding to this.


Peace
