you don't have to imagine too hard what it would be like - for a roadmap, just look at the example of christians in britain.

I was just wondering if I was a US no fly list yet.
Good thread.
My journey to Islam started when I read a daily mail story about koi carp.
What started you guys on yours?
Mine was debating/arguing with some Muslims....moaning about their hypocritical approach to Islam with regards what men are permitted to do but women not, such as drinking, boyfriends etc.
assalam alaikum
are you saying this debating/arguing brought you to islam? sorry im not sure what you meant, just clarifying
plus are there really muslims out there that will justify alcohol and premarital relationships from an islamic point of view? just goes to show we should never judge islam by the actions/words of muslims
To think DM gets all this criticism from Muslims.
It was odd.To think DM gets all this criticism from Muslims.
I was at a koi carp show, earning a bob, when saw a half dead fish being brought in.
Koi people pay really daft cash for those overgrown goldfish and I knew this fish to be especially stupidly valued.
It was in a mess so never made it past the quarantine tank before it snuffed it.
About a week later, the Mail ran a bullpoo story about how the fish was murdered by bad water management at the show.
I saw all the water company test results along with the independent results from the hired monitors.
Absolutely nothing out of place and all results were consistent with each other.
(Show results always show lower contaminants as they filter the tap water before it goes into tanks)
That story was total fabrication and I knew it because I saw the uproar at the show and arguments from the owner about the fish being fine.
I don't know much about fish but I know when something is about to snuff it and that, had it been a parrot, would have had John Cleese registering a complaint in short order.
The Mail's story was fiction (Total crap).
That made me wonder what else they lied about. A visit to KL, Wonderful Malaysia, made me realise ALL Muslims weren't maniac suicide bombers who ate children and forced their women to wear daft clothes.
I still read the Mail but only for a laugh.
Glad to see Richard peppiat has found another job. And at a paper much much better than the one (Daily Star) which he left behind.
Yes this is exactly how I found Islam.... I had been searching for something but came across Islam indirectly as a result of the behaviour/hypocritical attitude of Muslims...
And yes, you'll be amazed at what Muslims can justify....
Where's that?
Don't you mean SOME Muslims?
I'm not amazed....I've been traumatised too many times by some of the things a lot of Muslims have done/said.
I would say....sadly no. The problems with our Ummah are undoubtedly an epidemic.
the phrasing logically implies a subset of muslims.
now let's patiently wait for someone to be offended by that or this:
In Hamza's post the article was by RP and from the Independent. Now you ask, I suppose I've assumed it's a permanent job rather than being a free lance. He made a real sacrifice in a selfish world. Hope he gets something that's good for him.
didnt that behaviour drive you away from islam rather than draw you to it?
Evidently not as this was nearly nineteen years ago...
However, at the time that I realised I believed I was very torn; struggling with what I was feeling and how others were living the faith...
Learning the difference between the faith and the followers is quite a harsh lesson...
