The Muslims of America and the West

[Coccygia]

This is an English-speaking forum, buddy.

Those weren't arabic characters; you ought to be able to infer meaning from your knowledge of latin (a big part of english).

That was not Latin, either. Looks like the Exordium from the Koran, though.

I wouldn't have a hedonist friend in the first place.

Why not? We're the best

Well, see, now you're being a bit hypocritical.

How? Islam says not to accociete your freindship with the non-believers.

Sorry but
You shouldn't babble a bunch of nonsense in a foreign language in an English forum
say what you have to say in Englosuj

Don't be a dick. It's Arabic for a common Islamic introduction. Treat it with respect.

Anyway, I'm a Catholic. Don't really have any strong opinions on Islam. To me it's just another religion. I do sympathise with the struggles that a Muslim has to go through (i.e. being called a terrorist etc) and I am strongly against Islamophobia, but I don't have much care for Islam itself. I'm just against discrimination.

[The Lotophagi]

That he isn't.

Islam in the West should be the same as every other religion in the West, meaning that it shouldn't get any special treatment.

I never said it should. But we do need to he closer as a whole we are the Ummah's representation in the west outside the Ummah.

Ummah means the muslim's land or nation.

The West is already part of the Dar al-Islam.

Muslim scholars maintain and believe that the labeling of a country or place as being a part of Dar al-Islam revolves around the question of religious security. This means that if a Muslim practices Islam freely in his place of abode even though that place happens to be secular or un-Islamic, then he will be considered as living in the Dar al-Islam.

Dar al-Islam is also known and referred to as Dar al-Salam, or house/abode of Peace. The term appears in the Koran in 10.25 and 6.127 as a name of Paradise.[2]

According to Abu Hanifa, considered to be the originator of the concept, the two requirements for a country to be part of Dar al-Islam are:[3][4]

Muslims must be able to enjoy peace and security with and within this country.
It has common frontiers with some Muslim countries.

Arabic and Latin have nothing to do with each other.

Except they both sound silly. Just like Vietnamese. Every time I hear it, I get flashbacks... to when I was a kid and saw all those Vietnam themed movies with the Sheen clan in them.

And for this I respect you.

Then I don't want you in my country. If you won't associate with me, I won't associate with you. I don't stone homosexuals to death because the Bible tells me to do so, you shouldn't take the Qur'an so literally.

I'm intolerant of intolerance.

>inb4 I get torn apart by the apologists on General.

Arabic and Latin are all one process to a turk.

Ironically (well maybe not), the OP supports al Qaeda.

The Qu'uran not being taken seriously is a sin with it's self and Im not afraid of the blame of the blamers.

Hello friend
Im Shia Muslims, though I am not very good with it. I do my prayers, and I intend to go to Mecca for the Hajj as soon as I am able. But I disregard many rules (pork for example) Im pretty liberal with my Islam, and I don't hide it, but I also don't go around "HEY IM MUSLIM" if someone asks I answer.

[Macbeth]

I welcome any person of the Muslim faith to Canada or the "West" as long as they wish to adhere to our values and principles and try not to press their beliefs on others, and I'd say that to a Christian, a Buddhist, an Atheist - anyone. Respect the beliefs of others, be tolerant, open, respectful, adhere to our laws and what not, and everyone should get along. (Emphasis on should - here's hoping.)

He was also a pedophile
