I know this comment has been made before, but I find it interesting nonetheless. Why is it when a subject is presented about negative things found among those who practice Islam, one feels the need to deflect and mention how this or that act is also practiced by others not in Islam instead of just addressing the subject?
Just thought I'd ask...
Shamms
HI Shamms :)
I really do understand what you mean. However, in the first this topic WAS addressed at least twice already on this board and Reep was asked to search about it rather than keep going over the same material.
And secondly, he did not raise any point which needs to be addressed. Instead he is just giving his opinions which he is entitled to. I posted the link I did because I felt he was trying to paint arabs in a negative light, and westreners in a positive light as it was, he claims, JFK who forced the saudis to end slavery, and probably the arabs would take it back in a second if the hero AMericans were not watching out for them. Before we take that kind fo stance we should look at what happens in our own backyards first.
These are human issues, and you will find they are happening in any race or culture, or may happen again in the future.
If you feel Shamms, that there is a point that was raised which we did not address, then I do apologize and wish you can bring it to attention, because I dont see it.
But honestly I feel its boring to keep going over the same material with the same people. And I do wish that if people search the material and find they still have questions, they will feel free to ask.
Thanks and take care.
