Islamic law prevents muslims consuming certain foods and requires food to be prepared in a certain way. Halal is simply an Arabic word meaning permitted or lawful. Applied to food, it is the dietary…Continue

David Boots replied to David Boots's discussion 'Own It'"All religious violence is objectionable.
And even if we accept your proposition that islamic terrorism is rare - even one instance should be sufficient for the muslim community to condemn religious terrorism unequivocally.
But I do not accept…"
Davis Goodman replied to David Boots's discussion 'Own It'"Lies. Dirty lies.
Sectarian violence is not systemic and wide spread. It is virtually non-existent in most Muslim countries. It is a rarity in Malaysia, Zanzibar, Morrocco, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Djibouti, Qatar, Albania, UAE, Kyrgistan, Oman,…"
David Boots replied to David Boots's discussion 'Own It'"islam has become associated with terrorism for the simple reason that very many acts of terrorism are done in the name of islam.
This religious terrorism and violence is systematic and widespread.
If, as a muslim, you wish not to be associated with…"
TJ replied to David Boots's discussion 'Own It'"Most DO oppose religious violence, just as MOST Christians oppose the actions of the Westboro Baptist Church and so forth.
Again, its arbitrarily grouping people as you see fit, and then demanding them to agree upon membership in your assigned…"
Strega replied to David Boots's discussion 'Own It'"You don't have a reply to my question? It's fine to rail at abstract 'groups' but it doesn't get us anywhere."
David Boots replied to David Boots's discussion 'Own It'"Quite simply there is no excuse for not contributing to a solution. Why cant muslims oppose religious violence?"
Davis Goodman replied to David Boots's discussion 'Own It'"What do you mean by contributing to it? If you pray to Allah in an ordinary mosque in Western China, does that contribute to suicide bombings by Saudi terrorists in Europe? If you read the Koran in the Phillippines, does that contribute to honour…"
Davis Goodman replied to David Boots's discussion 'Own It'"Could someone explain what is up with all those "bad cops" in America?"
Davis Goodman replied to David Boots's discussion 'Own It'"No. I'd prefer that we round up ALL groups of sociopathic psychopaths and drop them all off on Pitcairn Island (it is remote and was the location of chronic child abuse).
They can test out their new ideologies on one another and set up whatever…"
Pope Beanie replied to David Boots's discussion 'Own It'"I have a crazy extreme idea: Instead of killing ISIS, let's round them up and accumulate some hoards (say) at GITMO, then parachute them into strategic areas of North Korea.
Whoops, on second thought... instead of fighting to the death, they…"
David Boots replied to David Boots's discussion 'Own It'"Given that:
- muslims have a huge variety of ethnic, cultural and sociological backgrounds; and
- given that in some cases they share a bare minimum of an ideology,
does that absolve them from contributing to a solution? Does it prevent them from…"
Pope Beanie replied to David Boots's discussion 'Own It'"Short add: Supporting Saudi Arabia could well stabilize balances of power over there, and Trump's comments over there did adress SA's role in raising the level of religious freedom and lowering intolerance. I'm just afraid it's…"
Pope Beanie replied to David Boots's discussion 'Own It'"OK, but what kind of big stick? Did Bush's version fix anything or win anything in the big fight against hate? Would Trump's version be preferable, whatever that may be, or would it be driven by additional righteousness and blaming the…"
