Quote:Bismillah
No arclight, thinking that I wouldnt respect your view point or discuss it with u because you r not a muslim is incorrect.
Thats not what I meant. What I did mean was that ultimately its something the muslim community must decide, and that as a non-muslim my vote doesn't actually count.
Quote: Simply, when i m out of them, I prefer for example to go for food to those little food stores, not the western or 5 star restaurtans.
I'm the same. I don't feel comfortable anywhere where they have more knives and forks for one meal than I have at home. Last time I went to America we stayed in an expensive hotel at Manchester airport. Can't say I enjoyed it anymore than one of the cheaper places. Usually 5 star equals paying four times as much for four times less food.
Quote:In brief, Alhamdulelah stying there doesnt get into my heart, or takes away my gratitude to Allah
I didn't think it would, its partly the desecration aspect of it and that they are making money from it
<b>John 2:</b>
14 And He found in the temple those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting there.
15 And having made a whip out of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, as well as the sheep and the oxen, and He poured out the money of the moneychangers and overturned their tables.
16 And to those who were selling the doves He said, Take these things away from here; do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise.
Blimey, thats the first time I've quoted the Bible in awhile :)
