Smiley, That question can be answered only by the viewer. Obviously if you had bad thoughts in mind when watching the maulvi then yes. If not then no. And Parents are to blame when bachpan se na tarbiyat di gai ho sahi. I know lots of families where girls are taught from childhood what to do and say.

True wrong is wrong hmm but still if a kid that is to die if he doesnt get anything to eat.. what shall he do. And no I am not saying he should steal just any other options? if no work is available either due to the country and the system.

Yups I guess that's what most people forget. That it's a give and take thing, but then again we can't wait to "get it from the other person" we just have to give respect first sometimes to get the ball rolling..

1. Yups the "not in my name" is something I am doing in media and via sites I create. Here is one in UK http://www.islamispeace.org.uk/ and the other signature campaign up here http://www.ireallydontcareanymore.com/ 2. And yups I really do understand where you are coming from when you say radical Islam exists. The term does, but the radicalism isn't appreciated by the teachings of the prophet. That's what I meant. 3. Demonization of Muslims has always been happening since the religion got its name. But what I am concerned about is the fact that our next generation of Muslims and your next generation of Christians might suffer being in a situation where they wouldn't be able to stand each other..

Here is a link that might shed some light on what Muhammed PBUH was and what others said about him.. http://www.prophetofislam.com/what_did_he_do.php Ok let me ask you one question as a humanbeing to another humanbeing who wishes peace and understanding. What do you think would be a better option, strikes after strikes or pamphlets that explain "Who Muhammed pbuh was and is?"

:) yups I would say yes to the fact that any normal person would dissagree to the things happening in Afghanistan by some extremist Talibans. Because they do not represent Islam in any possible way. Anything that they do when it comes to not allowing girls to study in schools is against the values injected in by Quran and Hadeeths. And as for not being in a position to state what is disrespectul or not yes I agree to that because everyone has their own viewpoints but still I would beg to differ that just being in the position of not agreeing doesn't give us as human beings to keep on doing something which causes someone pain. As for Jyllandsposten I wouldn't say it was targeted towards radical Islam, because there is no such thing as radical Islam, anything that goes into the extreme and ends up making Islam into a terrorist organisation is not what the religion teaches.

Hi "Common Sense" :) Well let's see. Respect is something that I feel keeps the doors of communication open and lets things that are totally nonsense out of the mind. I feel any talk that doesn't include respect can just be ended right on the spot as its a waste of time for both parties or probably the one explaining. There are two types of people that I have come across, one are those that like to discuss things rationally and want to reach a conclusion where both somehow say "Great, now I understand what you mean" and the second are those that just want to discuss for the sake of discussing. Let's see.. Ok as for Prophet Muhammed PBUH and how we see him. Well that issue can not be compared with homosexuality in my view since one is the physical way a person is towards a like gender while the issue of Prophet is in the Muslims point of view of a very grand nature. In a Muslims point of view the prophet is the holiest of prophets and creations of God. The things that are revealed in Quran made their way to the desks of scientists just in the recent years, so I wouldn't say we are dealing with a book just for the sake of following it. Facts are there it's just how much someone wants to read and get into it. I feel personally that Dagbladet should have been responsible enough to not atleast PRINT what they did. If I run a radio show which is heard by thousands of Indians as well, since I am Pakistani. I would NOT ever mention anything to hurt their sentiments even though its 100% right for me to do so as a Pakistani. I would just not do it, why? because I feel as a responsible person it's my job if I can atleast not add up to the hate already present here. And no it's no "book talk" I am doing here, that's how practical people should live. Practical people who run newspapers or read them, should know that its not one or two people they are making fun of, but billions of Muslims around the world pray five times a day mentioning the name of Muhammed pbuh in their prayers and the call of prayers. And yes everyone has the right to criticize others but does having a right mean you should go ahead and do it? I mean if I have a knife, I have the right to use it to cut butter or kill someone with it. So why would I choose the second option while the first one is more reasonable and more humane. I mean to say Common Sense.. just answer this question. Do you think it's a very nice thing to make fun of someone's ideology. And no Islam is not a religion, it's the way of life for Muslims. So it's not the religion people are making fun of but their lifestyle and values. And yes other peoples values might differ but that doesn't mean that day in day out publishing houses keep on printing and Muslims can just say "ok we pay billions in taxes but we have no right to protest" I am not a big fan of people who say "If you can't follow our rules so get out of Norway" Why should I :) It's as much my country as the little ethnic baby who might be born this very minute in a Norwegian hospital maybe even more than him, since I have paid a LOT in taxes. But then again, is it the taxes I have paid that make it my country, my religion, my belief, or should I have to accept every thing that I am not comfortable with to be considered Norwegian..? I don't drink, I don't go out clubbing, I don't sleep around.. but If i start doing that, will I be considered a good Norwegian maybe? Because to tell you the truth, after speaking to some Norwegians I feel that it's "respected" by them if I do the above then say "Ok I am off to the prayers in the local mosque" .. All I would say is, respect is the basic element. If everyone respects each others beliefs and lets them live with them, the world would be amazing :)

Yes the respect for the prophets is quite highly regarded in Islam. What I feel is that when one can't respect his or her own religion or prophets they have nothing to stand for.

Rightly said and I guess it's just that a few can't even digest a protest when something like this happens ..

Wakas Mir - The Blog : Cheating and reasons behind it

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:32:56 +0000

True masood bro. But still I guess cheating is one of those things that when done, you just can never go back. When I say that I mean in the sense of mentally feeling bad about the whole thing is the only option if one has the brain on the right spot.
