Well I must say I agree with u arclight. I noticed that i agree with u on a lot of matters wow :). For a change, I agree with john on what he commented on hamza. Yes he is not a scholar. As for myself, of course and I dont claim to be 24 hour follower of what is taking place. But no i never came accross a scholar who does this. On the contrary, I remember the late Sheikh Sha`arwai who was a very popular scholar with a high leve of charisma. Allah may He be Glorified bestowed much knowledge on him, he had a very special way of explaining the Quran. This man never ever made any hostil or disrespectful statement against Christians or jews. He even never took an aggressive stance from those who mocked Allah or the Messenger. But rather simply said if they didnt do this, who can we explain the truth to the world.
So arclight, yes these are individual acts that we never take as a general feature and thus stereotype or else we would for example shut down the non Muslim room or closed registertions for them. but let us be honest, Muslims do face much of such statements. but this also is a part of a well designed media campaing and those individuals are not but the mouth piece. BTW, in this statement i m quoting an American who is not Muslim but simply rational man (he works with politics0.
John to brief u, a new member who registered a month ago and kept on validation with a screen name: Israeli obssesion noted, I finally approved his registeration. On his first and only post, he posted porno pics, under a very vulgar title and made threats.
No he is not an old member who re registered we checked this.
So now u r not missing anything.
