One of the better threads on qbn in a while—thanks B!

What about this :
https://twitter.com/onuroncuu/st…In your counrty : people showing full support to the terrorists who killed in Paris...
- People commented that the flag doesn't belong to ISIS it belongs to Al-Nusra and this is unrelated to Paris incident. No one knows when does this taken.Beeswax
- *was taken.Beeswax
- anyone got a better photo of the flag?pango
- "People commented" ? Whhaou.... I'm impressed !....gonzalle
- Dude I'm not trying to defend anything here. If that happened in my country that sucks. That means we live with these assholes.Beeswax
- But it's such a vague information at the moment to make assumptions.Beeswax
- Al-Nusra is an Al-Qaida branch. So it's still terrible whatever they are cheering about. the video is also removed now.Beeswax

Do you think it's become more popular for Muslim women to wear Jihab and men to wear Hijabs (not sure if correct term for traditional clothing) over the past 5 years or so?
I think I've noticed more traditional clothing in London over the last few years, especially with the younger kids – but that could have always been the case and now i'm just more aware of it.- It did in Turkey. In the past only people from rural areas used to wear. Now upper income group and educated began wearing too.Beeswax
- But men don't wear any religious clothing like that in Turkey. Very very few.Beeswax
- Why do you think it's become more popular (in Turkey)?goldieboy

Great thread Bees, thanks for having the courage and opening up the channel. Glad to see that for the most part, most are keeping their head on straight in here.

How do you react to Muhammad drawings and how do you respond if someone in your circle preaches hate and terror?
- hans_glib0
good for you for stepping up.
how will you feel about if the west hits back big time in syria/iraq? or if the far right start revenge attacks on innocent muslims communities?
will this make any difference to your view of militant islam?
- My view won't change if west attacks civilians and they already did in Iraq. But militants will gain popularity. I hope they dont do that.Beeswax

A question that's been on my mind for a long time.
In western democracies, there has been a gradual separation of church and state over the last 100 years.
ie. 100 years ago if you didn't go to church you weren't British or a proper citizen.
We've secularised governments and there are now a lot of voices against religion in a lot of western countries.
We saw the rise of Humanism, Atheism etc etc.
The question. Is there or are there anti-religion voices in Islamic nations? Were there or have they (since Iran in the 70's) been completely quashed.
My worry has always been that for muslims it's religion first, country second.
and unless you become american first and muslim second, we are only going to be at war in-perpetuity.
Being an (ex) Roman Catholic, 400 years of european wars were fought on this very issue. Subscribe to the King or the Pope - not both.
- anti-religion voices increasing in Turkey. Mostly because of our current conservative government that messes with people's choices and freedom.Beeswax
- For middle east I don;t know much, but only Egypt has some I suppose. They came out during Egypt's spring againts Mubarak.Beeswax
- But anywhere except Turkey it's really hard for them to have a voice. Turkey is secular, government can't do anything to anti-religion peopleBeeswax
- But fanatics can harass them.Beeswax

What does your holy book say about the 'last days' and is it becoming a reality (as far as you can see)?
- dirtydesign1
I've heard the youth of Iran wants nothing to do with the hatred and threats being broadcast by its leaders. And that they're pretty much waiting for these guys to die off so they can start living modern and happy lives. Any thoughts?
Pretty much like waiting for your crazy racist great aunt to die....
- Molla Regime setup such a system that it won't change by the death of a leader.Another one will replace him. Nothing changed after Khomeini died...Beeswax

How can we solve the Syrian crisis?
- Not "we" i think, "We" has created ISIS.ApeRobot
- The Muslim world should fix this.ApeRobot
- Speaking has one voice,...but that is another story.ApeRobot
- They shouldn't have messed up with Asad govt at first.He's a dictator but at least things were in order.Syria is a nice place to visit when it's not a hell likeBeeswax
- this. Instead of supporting small rebel groups they must support existing governments. Syria & Northern Iraq Federation primarily.Beeswax

How do you interpret these verses from the Quran?
Quran 3:151 "We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down [any] authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers."
Quran 3:56 "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."
Quran 2:191-193 "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing... but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)"
- 3:151- "We" is not Muslims here, it is used everywhere in the Quran as a Pronoun for "God" SO read it as "I will cast ...."Beeswax
- 3:56- This needs interpretation? It's between God and that person mentioned in the verse. This verse didn't make me a believer nor it should make you one.Beeswax
- and how do Christians interpret certain passages of the bible that read almost the same with different diety being mentioned?!?vaxorcist
- 2:191- This section is about war.
And quote;
This and the following verses lay down unequivocally that only self defence
(in the widest sense of the word)Beeswax - makes war permissible for Muslims. Most of the commentators agree in that the expression la ta'tadu signifies,Beeswax
- in this context, "do not commit aggression"; while by al-mu'tadin "those who commit aggression" are meant.Beeswax
- The defensive character of a fight "in God's cause" - that is, in the cause of the ethical principles ordained by GodBeeswax
- is, moreover, self-evident in the reference to "those who wage war against you", and has been still further clarified in 22:39Beeswax
- "permission [to fight] is given to those against whom war is being wrongfully waged" - which, according to all available Traditions,Beeswax
- constitutes the earliest (and therefore fundamental) Qur'anic reference to the question of jihad, or holy warBeeswax
- That this early, fundamental principle of self-defence as the only possible justification of war has been maintained throughout the Qur'an is evident from 60:8Beeswax
- as well as from the concluding sentence of 4:91, both of which belong to a later period than the above verseBeeswax
- In view of the preceding ordinance,the injunction "slay them wherever you may come upon them"is valid only within the context of hostilities already in progressBeeswax
- on the understanding that "those who wage war against you" are the aggressors or oppressors.Beeswax
- The translation, in this context, of fitnah as "oppression" is justified by the application of this term to any affliction which may cause man to go astray andBeeswax
- to lose his faith in spiritual values
------------------Beeswax - In all anti-islam or religion sites you see this verse being taken out of context. How does this motivate militants I don't know. Because let's say they thinkBeeswax

- they are in an ongoing war west and this verse makes sense for them. But then what about killing civilians? That is forbidden in the context of war.Beeswax
- So there is a whole non-islamic action committed here. Don't attack and don't kill civilians are two colossal rules.Beeswax

Why won't the "good" Muslims take the lead and help find and capture the jihad Muslims?

ok so 72 virgins..
just been looking into the is on wikiislam and apart from the fact these women are supposed to be 27meters tall.. and are Non-menstruating / non-urinating/ non-defecating and childfree
there is a bit which states.. "the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal.."
i love erections as much as the next guy.. but an never ending erection just sounds uncomfortable, even with 72 giant virgins..
- I searched who said that ahe's a guy called Imam Al-Suyuti (died 1505 ), Quranic commentator. So this claim of eternal erection came 800 years after Muhammed.Beeswax
- Sad thing is not only, crazy, fanatic, idiotic militants believe these, many atheists wholeheartedly believe this is part of Islam.Beeswax

why should some Muslims feel the need to step up and apologise or offer a "moderate muslim" position when some other muslims do horrible shit?
I don't see any christians (or atheists) standing up and apologising for the killing of the 450+ innocent syrian civilians during the last few months during the US-led bombing in Syria.
- I saw people in the Paris thread, honestly asking questions to understand what the heck is with this Islam or Muslims. And I wanted to suppress their curiosityBeeswax
- I am a moderate muslim as I explained in the first post here so why would I apologise for them.I don't think those killers are muslims. They think they are tho.Beeswax
- Sorry, my point was very sarcastic. I know a few muslims and they always feel under pressure to explain themselves when things kick off.lowimpakt
- I always say they don't have to justify being a muslim because of the acts of terrorists. Same way I don't think US citizens are to blame for government actionslowimpakt
- Christians should apologize for the crusades then.ApeRobot
- As a christian, I'm sorry for any christian who ever did anything wrong. And for anyone doing wrong in the name of Jesus.scransom5
