Thank you for your illuminating contribution to debate. The fact that you
elected to post it twice makes it even more profound.
This is said not as an excuse for the crimes Europeans have committed
around the wold, and books are littered with Europeans' history of
destruction, genocides and religious murders, but as a counter point
to illustrate that we must not judge an entire civilization for the
crimes committed by a few of its people, and must not those fear
civilizations to a point in which we are trying to exterminate their
way of life.
And a nice try to you as well! This group is just about finished I'm
afraid.
So true, Mitch. So true.
Yet, hope springs eternal. One day the parents of these cross-posting
idiots will crack down on them for spamming ari instead of doing
their homework. Then, the ari of yore will rise from the ashes, like the
mythic Phoenix! LOL!
btw.......Norv Turner?????
Ravish? Do you mean, "rubbish?"

I'm afraid I can't make much sense of the first part of your post. But,
I'm all for cleanliness! I believe all students -- Muslim or non-Muslim --
should bathe or shower daily, at least. AT HOME. *Before* school.

Of course "we must not judge an entire civilization for the crimes
committed by a few of its people." But, when those crimes are endorsed
-- either explicitly by many influential leaders of its clergy, or implicitly
by the vast majority of its people remaining silent and refusing to
sincerely condemn them -- then we have a problem.

Demanding water cans or bottles ? From a storage area ?
Don't the moslems get the idea of "plumbing" ?

We natives deploy phones, video, Internet, radio, satellites, dishes,
and cable, and are listening and watching carefully, and with
considerable amusement. Nobody, no "emigrant," needs to move here in
person, actually, to help us natives to learn more about the
"emigrants," or anything else. We watch them with technology, on TV,
the news, the papers, and the "emigrants" are actually more interesting
to us before they attempt to "emigrate" here.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be

They want to blow out the Light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah

(Qur'an 61:8)
Anti-Islam trolls are busy spewing LIES, HATE, BIGOTRY and PREJUDICE
against Muslims and Islam.
Dealing with anti-Islam trolls
Anti-Islam troll those who continuously posting off topic and hatred-
filled, divisive rubbish on Board.
They have something in common, they post inflammatory, inaccurate,
abusive, obscene, profane and racially offensive material.
I would like to outline some basics of how to deal with anti-Islam
trolls?
Generally speaking, ignore the flame-bait!!
Do not feed the animals, do not feed the anti-Islam Trolls. Generally
speaking, all of these filthy messages should be ignored, and left to
expire from the news feed. Anti-Islam trolls who post articles of this
nature are out looking for trouble and trying to create it.
They are morally bankrupt, rude and hostile you don't need to sink to
their low level of immorality and filth.
If you do feel the need to write something to them, respond in private
e-mail to them - despite the facts that they posts via invalid or
stolen emails- Otherwise, please leave matters to the experienced
posters. They've had to deal with these situations many times before
and know what route to take.
If we don't follow these guidelines, we would all descend into
anarchy, and the whole point of the group would be lost.
Having said all that, I believe, Islam had faced 1400 years of attacks
from extreme religious people of other faiths. It not only survived,
it actually became the fastest growing religion of the world!
Warning there anti-Islam forgers and trolls amongst us, proceed with
caution
Get The Holy Quran. It is absolutely FREE

TV blinds you, really! it does. Just stop watching TV for a while and
travel and you will see that what you know about the world is very,
very, and I mean, veeery little.

Mashallah! I love to see some brorthers pointing at the points and
nailing the nails right on the head.

For those of you who are convinced you know more about Islam than
Muslims, why are you here??
For those of you who clearly think Islam is not a peaceful religion,
why are you here??
For those of you who think only Christians, Jews or Hindus are going
to heaven and Muslims are hell bound, why are you here??
For those of you who have no interest in a friendly rapport and
respectful exchange of ideas with Muslims, why are you here?
For all non-Muslims WHY ARE YOU HERE???
I just don't understand why those of you who hate Islam are here??

Because islam is not beyond criticism. If it was, there would be no killing
between muslims, and there would be no terrorism.
