]]> Comment on Wife Beating in an Islamic Perspective by olaf07 http://muslimstoday.wordpress.com/2007/10/22/wife-beating-in-an-islamic-perspective/#comment-122 olaf07 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 19:29:11 +0000 http://muslimstoday.wordpress.com/2007/10/22/wife-beating-in-an-islamic-perspective/#comment-122 Dear Dr. Siddiqi, thank you for these clarifying remarks, proving the Messenger's (peace be upon him) and the Qu'ran's real intentions on this topic. As a Christian and secular person I am trying hard to learn and understand the Muslim beliefs for quite some time now. Maybe you can elaborate a bit more on the following questions that are not meant to insult any Muslim man but result from my personal observations of their behavior: Why is it that so many Muslim men seem to misunderstand or misinterpret these seemingly quite clear demands? Why do many muslim men consider themselves superior to their female partners and do not "live with them on a footing of kindness and equity", as Allah demands? Is there any cultural or social explanation for these macho type behaviors? May God bless you Olaf Dear Dr. Siddiqi,

It began with my review of Mark Steyn's book America alone and my thoughts expanded into the prevailing Islamophobia and how stupidly it is being taught to everyone in the west. I believe this Blog is a real cool Mulsim news aggregator. I am leaving the links to my two posts here. Please note I'm not a Muslim or Islam promoter. I oppose Islamophobia as race and religion based discrimination.

]]> Comment on Widows of Srebrenica bitter towards returning Dutch by deekoojer http://muslimstoday.wordpress.com/2007/10/17/widows-of-srebrenica-bitter-towards-returning-dutch/#comment-61 deekoojer Thu, 18 Oct 2007 06:45:44 +0000 http://muslimstoday.wordpress.com/2007/10/17/widows-of-srebrenica-bitter-towards-returning-dutch/#comment-61 Bitter serves little purpose, they should at some point seek to step over it. But anger, rightfully so. I don't care how lightly armed is, if one is charged with something, particularly by an international body, then one should die doing it, not skip off instead to party. I would have laid down my life to protect these people had I been there. The difference between cultures is massive at times. The Dutch culture is filled with cowardice. Look on the other side, perhaps they went back to get some of what is commonly referred to as "Dutch courage," intending to return later and vomit on the shoes of those willing to perpetrate these war crimes. Yes, that must have been it. Bitter serves little purpose, they should at some point seek to step over it. But anger, rightfully so.

Let's hope that one day people will have overcome Al Qaeda and all other terrorists and learn tolerance and love and all religions live in peaceful harmony. May god/Allah or how ever you call him bless you and your families.

Well - I am a person well socialised within the Western culture, living a secular life, where Christian religion is a private affair. And I would support the freedom of the press anytime! But would you artists and people from the media, thinking about publishing pictures of Muhammad PLEASE start to develop a little bit of sensitivity for other people's highest values. What makes you want to insult millions of peaceful and faithful muslims all over the world by committing a sin in itself by depicting Muhammad. A dog with the Messenger's head? This is not funny at all - and maybe not even satirical any more - it is tasteless, senseless, brainless and an unnecessary provocation in these times, where so much is at stake in Afghanistan and Iraq. Please, all you Westerners, a little humbleness would suit us all - and is well embedded in the Christian faith... How stupid can a person be?
