Hello. In the midst of irreligiousness and secularism, my friends in the
west are uncertain about who we are. I feel sorry for their enormous
misapprehension. The tiptop false allegation which they often throw at us is of
course women. Your religion tells you to mistreat, suppress and subjugate women.
I like it so much when they promote such a proclamation. Before I go on with
this, I must initially note my admoration to the British culture. I may disegree
with my friends Colin and Harvey, but I respect their perspective. To be quite
plain though, I am not a critical debater and it is not my virtual intention to
engage in provocative conversations with anyone despite the substantial attempts
to urge me to do so, 
). I am here to
keenly demonstrate my standpoint. It is a standpoint which aims to clarify why
religion and why Islam in particular. At its inception, I must send my unfeigned
greetings and gratitudes to the moderator, mr. Terry Robinson. I would
like to sincerely thank him for generously tolerating the variation and the
roughly strident nature of my posts. Before we criticize or object anything, we
may need to remind ourselves of what the starting point was. I am attempting to
facilitate a moderate portrait of my faith and culture. As I just articulated, I
love and respect the British culture, I love listening to Westminster. The story
today reflects the combination of a western Muslim journalist, an emancipated
British woman, Lauren Booth and she is the celebrity, she is Tony Blair’s
sister-in-law. I am not expecting you to sit there and applaud to the story. You
may dislike this, you may think it is a mere exaggeration and you may think it
is insignificant. I met with sister Lauren here in Cairo in 2012 when she gave a
similar lecture at the Saladin Citadel. It was a Friday and what a blessed day
it truly was. When she was asked if she had seen Tony Blair, she replied yes and
she wholeheartedly prayed for his guidance. Well again, I anticipate that MR.
Harvey may mock and joke about this. I won’t go on in debating. I am only here
to share not clash. I just would like to ask my respected friend Colin to kindly
spell the term Muslim correctly. It is spelled the way I wrote it in the text
above. Now, quick notes on what was written in response. The Satanic verses.
Please Colin, you may provide theologically reliable sources to support your
stance on the controversy. I never heard from reliable sources that a text was
once in the Koran and then withdrawn. It is a useless discussion in my humble
opinion. The Koran is the Koran, it doesn’t change. It never was and it
certainly never will. It is divinely preserved. Allah preserves its existence
with His unparalleled Omnipotence. You must learn to speak. Yes, you must
prerequisitely acquire the tools of developing the knowledge. It has nothing to
do with having an opinion. You can speak whatever you want about Islam but at
the end of the day, I am afraid, it is just your opinion and it doesn’t exceed
to any further recognition. People from different backgrounds and cultural
levels have quite ranging opinions about Islam but their opinions are basically
dismissed in the theological community until they successfully attain the
knowledge which is necessary to recognize what they say as worthy of esteem. It
is a critical analogy if you will speak at the subjects of Medicine,
Engineering, Political science, Journalism, English and so on. You first must
hold a prestigious degree in the field and then, what you will have to say will
be looked after by the specialists in that particular major. The gate is widely
open for anyone who wants to learn. People learn and religion is a field of
knowledge and indeed, a quite deep and thorough knowledge. I welcome and respect
all opinions ranging from the traditional like me to the liberal like Colin and
Harvey. In addition to violence and aggression, if you would like to know why
such things tend to repeatedly occur quite often in our Arabian region, you may
read with attention the textbook I sent out yesterday. The link to the story is
located in the bottom of this body. Thank you for your attention, time and
courtesy.
