Then that is unfairly forcing Islamic traditions onto non-Islamic people.sly fly said:Yes, just as a Muslim woman or Muslim man would.
that is unfortunately what we have to live with. im not too fresh on my seerah (history of the prophet) but i remember it being that they were given protection in return for paying a jizyah, which is sort of like protection tax. and i thought that islamic rule wasnt enforced on non-muslims ie stoning for adulterers, because it wasnt what THEY followed, but like i said, it isnt fresh. the islamic world has changed dramatically and beyond repair, so you cant say islam is represented by any major islamic body these days.withoutaface said:Then that is unfairly forcing Islamic traditions onto non-Islamic people.
Yet you, funnily enough, were more than willing to give the thread new life with pathetic thoughts of your own. Excellent work, chap!Simpson Freak said:anyway i think most just don;t want to sink so low as to comment on the moronic posts of some people.

Um, you are aware that they really are effectivly a race as well as a religion? Not fully, obviously, as one does have converts and the like, but there is a general Jewish ethnicity, beyond just religion. There was a recent study about the Ashkenazi Jews, which make up 80% of the worlds Jewish population, showing that around 40% of this subgroup shared a common ancestory of just 4 women. While, yes, they are a religion, the fact that the religion has lasted so long, and that there had been such general seperation between religions, gave it enough time for it to effectivly become its own ethnic group as well.How about the jews, sure some seem okay, yet they treat themselves as some sort of race. Religion is not a race, and yet all who are jewish believe that they should have a homeland, even though it belongs to others.
the issue is not just tourists, but those that already live there. and its over laws based not on a societal standard, per se, but on religious doctrine alone.The fact is when you are in another person's land you have to obey their laws
davin said:again, much of what you said about Israel is at best tangentally related to the topic.
it was interesting though, to learn that you know no one informed on Judaism, yet have such a strong position on[/] the religion. Yes, you can convert to it, however there are details as far as who they define to be an ethnic Jew, and its possible to be that without practicing the religion. Not that its a source, but as an example, one of the people in "the diary of Anne Frank" is someone who doesn't practice the religion but is labelled Jewish.
I also like that your entire arguement against it comes from "I heard one ex-Jew say", as that of course is an iron-clad justification.
With Al-Queda, their beliefs are from a militant Islamic viewpoint. The religion is not the cause of the terrorism, but the connection is one that is worth looking at, and is important to discuss both the rationale used, and also address criticisms that the Islamic world as a whole, even if not believing the miltant elements that Al-Queda believes, do not seem to actually oppose the extremists, but simply ignores it.
And to try to liken any biases within Saudi media to biases in western media is just blind. The two are not at all on comparable levels.
