TAQIYYA !!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiyya

My wife is a Sunni:

No term such as taqiyya is used in Sunni jurisprudence. Protecting one's belief during extreme or exigent circumstances is called idtirar (إضطرار), which translates to "being forced" or "being coerced", and this word is not specific to concealing the faith. Sunnis believe that it is allowed to deny faith under compulsion, threat, or fear of injury, as long as the heart remains firm in faith,^[21] but they also greatly disagree with some of the Shi'a's view of Taqiyya. While one is allowed to consume prohibited or haraam food to protect one's life under the jurisprudence of idtirar,^[22] some Sunni sources emphasize that a person who prefers to proclaim their faith in the face of death will have a greater reward than they who deny their faith to save their lives. For example, in the Sunni commentary of Sahih al-Bukhari, known as the Fath al-Bari, it is stated that:

Me thinks maybe someone joined VJ for the sole purpose = participate in this thread.

Of course, they create puppet accounts so they don't get banned. I could guess who this is, but they wouldn't admit it even if I was right...

Marv ?

Sorry, been here for over a year and some change. I don't have to hide who I am.

Oh dear, copy/paste theology. Lovely.

What's funny is what he added to my statement doesn't even come from Wikipedia. The first link he posted doesn't even go anywhere. And the second link? Jihad Watch? Don't you know what the word even means?

I've got to say that your obsession with Marvin was funny at first but now it's coming off a little creepy.

Like Hinckley creepy.

They can't help themselves. Hate + Ignorance = a hot mess. That's why I try so hard to reason with them.

Some Americans don't even like donuts, do they?

Blasphemy!!

Slavery and Islam is a topic that seems to be off limits...... Not like slavery in America. 1400,-1500 years of enslaving black folks in Africa. Is this correct?, .Is this mentioned in common core in our schools?

I had a friend who was doing work for a police department in Malaysia... Tell me why there was a box for donations "to be used for the destruction of Israel. " written in Malay and English. ... Every person who had business with that police station could donate.

That must have been a branch of the Westboro Baptist Church....

One point in the (op) Huff video - No1 criticizes Nuns for covering their heads. I think that's a ....maybe no big deal to others but that's a new one on me.

I will also say - when I was a kid - I saw that 2nd Planet of the Apes...& then every time I saw priests & nuns in uniform = it creeped me out. I became a vestments - phobe. What does that have to do with this thread? TV makes an impression. Muslims should start putting out Family Friendly TV & Movies to counter all the Islamic Zombie Horror Picture Show - playing every day. I wonder if Hollywood would support that...?

Maybe people should stop getting their social awareness from Hollywood.

It's been a while since we've had a good Islam thread here.

Couldn't agree more but we live in a world of "wag the dog". It is what it is.

Try to be less paranoid and ignorant when you discuss such things and you won't get banned. Just a thought.

Bring it on Marv. But be ready to explain a lot of quotes from your book.

Also I'm curius about this. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2562957/Muslim-leaders-issue-fatwa-against-living-MARS-no-righteous-reason-there.html

So, once again I have to be accountable for things that have nothing to do with me. You want to speak about the crazies in your religion?

And if you start a thread in the Mena forum, let me know what it is, and I'll be there.

I agree with Operator, if you want to learn about Islam, as a Muslim. Read the Qur'an. Go to the Mosque.

[mota bhai 2,675]

As a non-Muslim, what's in the Quran means nothing to me. The only way Islam affects me is through the conduct of Muslim people who's paths cross mine. The Muslim barber in Indonesia who pays his taxes and sends his kids to college? Doesn't affect me. The Muslim barber in Indonesia who goes to Terror Training Camp in Khyber-Pakhtunkhawa and tries to smuggle a shoe bomb into JFK? He affects me. As does the Muslim doctor who operates on my family members and saves them from death. Of those three Muslims, some color my view of Islam and some do not. Despite all your silly requests that I read a book of zero relevance to my life.

Is it even remotely possible that some Muslim people get offended way too easily?

My response wasn't aimed at you. Next time you want to talk to me, raise your hand and ask for permission to speak.

I don't offend easily, but when you call me a wife-beating, acid throwing, bomb wearing terrorist, I might get a bit irked.

My comment about Hollywood was tongue in cheek = I don't think Hollywood will support it...I think Hollywood would oppose it.
