Just for anyone who is lazy enough to read the rules on this board.
I deleted another thread of RT, to make it two, Dan and me.
Ok, before he goes, or any of the other guests start complaining, this is an open ISLAMIC board, we certainly dont mind people crticising Islam, as we never expect non muslims coming here praising and bringing good opinions about Islam. We dont expect this, neither we are here for this. We are surrounded by those who classify themselves as scholars, and have nothing to do but to just criticise Islam. Matter of fact, in many times, I see it differently, I see how they serve Islam and actually stand as proof to Quranic verses, starting from bendict, to Danemark, to any other source of crticism.
But also we will not allow a guest to come over thinking that with his/her attitude, he is actually bringing action into the board. We are not here working on a customer retention basis.
We are here to learn and help others learn. But acting with arrogance and feeling superior to others, will not help. If u feel superior to others, why remain among a group who is not fit to discuss with u? when u even in many situations fail to understand their posts, or more to say have a template that u hasten to use just to fill a space. I m really wondering.
Actually, we grew through many stages, we feel that people like this are all around us, we dont really care to decorate Islam to them, neither we need to call them to Islam. Islam is a gift. We dont beg people to take it. Islamic rituals are Islamic rituals. We dont expect u to agree with them, no. But if u want a platform of your own to slander Islam. Go ahead, u have utube and other sites, just build your own. Dont expect back that there will be any among us who agrees with u, neither we are compelled to compare of how many turkeys are slaghtered for either Christmas or thanksgiving. we are not obliged.
We are more than satisfied with our rituals, fully convinced with them, see nothing wrong with them. But to continue calling every one a name caller, a child, or ..etc. We dont accept this.
Non muslim guests are most welcome on this board, they have always been. What is more important is that we never put a sign on the gate saying either u revert or you are out.
We have quite a number of frequent visitors who made their position quite clear and they are still welcome.
There are those who want to learn how to deal with muslims, others who want to get a first hand info versus what they receive from the media, i m not going to count the motives.
But I think we made a clear point, you need to respect others, and maintain a proper conduct in house.
Hope all is clear.
