As salam alykom brother Yusuf
It is a pleasure to have a mod on another Islamic board among us as a member and I really pray Insh a Allah we benefit a lot from each other..
I will not blame u for making a judgement or accusation. In this reply I am not trying to report to u since we only report to Allah.
But it is just an exchange of ideas among a brother and sister.
U said we tolerate someone like JohnDoe, may be u might just think to yourself, who is JohnDoe or any other similar character. One of Allah’s Creation who does not believe in Allah. What is the position of Allah? Allah Still provides for him, allow his to benefit of the sky, the water, allow him even a space on earth. We are calling for Al Sabour (the All Patient). Do u expect that a non Muslim would come to u and tell u O fine I believe. Don’t u understand that they are threatened by the idea of being wrong all their lives no matter how long it was. They feel that suddenly someone is introducing strong evidence to them that they are wrong. The stronger the evidence is, the harder their reaction is. How do u expect to know how he / she thinks if they don’t get it out and u reply to them?? How will u produce arguments to meet their needs if they don’t express it? Do u expect a non-believer to show respect to Allah? Of course not, but our role is to easily produce explanation, use the best words possible. When did u see the Messenger (salla Allah a`alyhee wa sallam) slam even the Mushrekeen when he was calling them to Allah? Never. He always took the time and effort to explain no matter what they said. If Allah SWT Is Al Wase`a (The All Accomodator) Who Accomodates them in His kingdom, why cannt we accommodate non believers leave alone the Muslim who needs to push forward, but there a manner to do so. I m not trying to explain our situation to u. I don’t have to. But we are brothers and sisters in Islam and I am sharing
