Islamic or a crime?

http://www.answeringmuslims.com/2014/02/islamic-rape-wave-continues-in.html

I visited the comments section on David Wood's bog,  not sure if it will see the light of day or not, so I'll include it in this brief update.

What I'm doing the rest of the day, lots of writing; some of it requires more research, which is frustrating, I just don't have enough info to answer all kinds of questions, but I always try my best to be honest and get my point across. I think that's more important than convincing people of  Islam or appearing to be a very learned person. I haven't studied in depth, but I have lived half my life as a Muslim which means I have a lot of personal experience and also knowledge of the basics.

I don't get why these Christian fundamentalists continually, and very aggressively run a smear campaign against Islam, when it isn't like they honestly believe that they are "telling the truth about Islam" or doing it because "we love you". I guess, its the fame or the money, or something else then.

My comment -

"Islamic"? That's not how I see it or how I would describe a crime such as rape or murder. You are as usual, deliberately inciting hatred. It is one thing to quote hadiths which are 1400 yrs. old about things which happened in another time (a very different era) and to call rape by people with Muslim names, who may or may not be Muslims, something which is "Islamic" - which implies it is okay according to Islam.

 

Rape is punishable by death in Islam. (The victims of rape or victims of sodomy are not punished, because it’s not their fault, they didn't ask for it.)

 

Many people would love that Islamic law for rape is applied. Unfortunately, most rapists get a slap on the wrist in the West and in states with similar lenient punishments to what exist in the West.

A "Rare Breed" of Atheist

Don't pinch me, I'm awake.

I know what atheists think, that deists and theists are morons.

But what makes some of them now pride themselves even more (than other atheists)?

The "Vegan Atheist" has spawned a whole new breed of folks who believe they are better equipped to deal with the menace that is modern religion. They outright reject any belief in god, or gods, or the rules which religious people follow as moral. But that's not all...

They pride themselves for their superior intelligence, which might I add, doesn't (really) require one to "wear shades". Though you would think, from the way they pat each other on the back, that mere mortals wouldn't be capable of such brilliance or even witnessing it.

Should I say Dr. Vegan Atheist?

Well, not yet.

This same nonsense which is called "logic" that I've seen somewhere before, proves disappointingly funny however, along the lines of something someone else said when debating some points of religion (Islam) with me, "One person's reality is another person's illusion".

I begged to differ with that.

Oh, by the way, I did leave a comment or two for the Vegan Atheist on his YouTube channel, or on his blog, but I think he has yet to respond. I think I might have embarrassed him.

What I said,

"I'm not sure if you are the same Vegan Atheist who commented on comments in your You Tube videos?
In the "Stupid Muslim Comments" video #6, the "Vegan Atheist" says he thinks "people came from apes.["] What do you think..

I will say this for Richard Dawkins, he scoffs at people who believe that, yes. He is a biologist and therefore we assume somewhat intelligent and educated. He believes the theory of evolution and that "humans and apes share a common ancestor" but not that humans evolved from apes.

I hope vegans and atheists everywhere will think before they speak or write on the internet.
It isn't only others who make stupid comments.

"If you want to dish it, then you can take it", but like I said, I don't know if you are that person.
If you RSVP I wouldn't mind. I have my own blog as well."

This was one of the posts I wanted to get up for V-day.

********

I did however have the opportunity to share one of the people I love in dawa, who is "Idris Tawfiq" a very loved and intelligent Muslim man, a revert from Britain. ( I had thought he was Irish)

I shared some of his links, etc. yesterday, the 15th of February.

February 14th, I drafted another post which I will share today on the blog.

 

So many more things I've been sharing from all over the place, on Twitter and Facebook, I can't remember them all now, but still I haven't gotten down to the nitty gritty of going through my old folders (boxes, too) of ideas, writings, drafts, paper and flash memory, or the hard work of finishing important final drafts.

I'm feeling restless, so I guess, it is time for something new and exciting.

Wonder what that might be?

I read your website several months ago and commented there at one time not realizing what your website and work is all about. You say Yusuf Estes is a liar, and misleading people. But MWFJ is lying. Why mislead people so they spread your website informaiton, [sp] etc.? If you think you are better than Yusuf Estes, why did you start off this campaign against him, by lying to the public about your true intenitons? [sp]

My recent comment as posted on the MWFJ website (above). It probably won’t be there long, because these people delete all comments against them.

I was fooled for almost a year, or since I first read their original website, which misled me to believe they wanted to support and defend Yusuf Estes. Now I know the truth.

I ask anyone not to click on their links (in blue above) but you can click on the link where I was and comment or publish your own comments, and spread the truth about this website on your own blog or website.

I don’t ask you to hate these people, but pray for their guidance (and mine).

I regret having ever provided them even verbal support. Knowing that they are the ones who lied to me about their true intentions makes me angry. However, I can’t do anything about that. But I hope people will take heed when going on “Islamic” websites, as I will do in the future (with more caution).

Only the final paragraph of their original website - which I only got back to and finally read (to the end) today – told me that the real goal of MWFJ is to get more people to hate Yusuf Estes or stop watching and spreading his videos and reading or sharing his materials, or visiting any of his sites.

I consider Yusuf Estes a brother in Islam. Whatever mistakes he or anyone else, has made in the past, don’t justify a hate campaign against him, which ignores the fact that many people have been guided to Islam (the true religion – Sunni Islam) through his or other peoples’ efforts. No one is perfect. (This is my opinion, and I’m sure others, like MWFJ, have theirs).

Now that I know the real reason behind all the “negative comments” which were removed from the MWFJ website’s comments section, I will never go there again, nor comment. But I urge others to spread this information, ONLY IF You Agree with Me.

If you don’t agree with me, that’s fine. But don’t hate me.

There are Muslim youth and others (also in Bahrain, I’ve been told) who hate other Muslims. Instead of sincerely praying for the general Muslims they spend their time cursing and spreading lies or slander about people. These are the ones with weak faith, but I don’t hate them. I wish for their guidance only. There is no benefit in spreading hate, so I ask others to have an open mind only about what is said on the internet and not to judge others based on what they may or may not have said.

We are all responsible for our speech and our actions. No one is responsible for the speech or actions of another. Peace.

Peace and Blessings unto the Prophet and Messenger of Allah, Muhammad, and unto the righteous companions.



Celebrating 100 Pageviews in one day

I apologize for some of the language, esp. implied about one particular person, which I reget, but reflects the attitude of Christians today to Arab and other Muslim minorities, and it's true to rap (which is raw, but can be a powerful tool if used properly; I realize many will disagree) with my use of "bad" language, so I'm acknowledging you, but I won't change the lyrics (wording). Celebrating over 100 pageviews in one day, yesterday. God bless my brothers and sisters! God save the world!
