I think this is very important when reading the Qur'an, it gives you an idea of the context and situation it was written other. Especially because anti-Islamists try and take a few select verses from the Qur'an out of context in order to convince others that Islam is violent and intolerant to non-Muslims. We must remember the conditions each verse was made under, and also take into consideration other supporting verses when reading and interpreting the Qur'an. If one verse...
There is no doubt this is based on separatist activity. I have found the claims of the Uighur Protesters contradicted in so many ways. A few interesting facts: 1. Xinjiang has 13 Ethnic Minorities, most of which are Muslims, yet only Uighur's are protesting and they are the majority in Xinjiang http://www.china.org.cn/english/MATERIAL/139389.htm 2. Uighur's are exempt from China's one child policy 3. The two Uighur's killed in the Shaoguan Toy Fac...
Ifound this information useful, they have different religions and ethnicities in Xinjiang, and most are Muslims. http://www.china.org.cn/english/MATERIAL/139389.htm It does not make sense that if China is attacking Muslims, why the other groups are not complaining. It seems that the Uighur's are as a majority have a separatist movement going on. It's unfortunate that so many are swayed into the idea of separatism when China has respected Islam throughout th...
Microbear77 says: Islamists will have a hard time making headways in China because China doesn't care what other people think of their measures. They do what they feel is best for their country. If Islamists want to prod China they may realize to their chagrin that it won't turn out their way. ============================= People posting anti-Islamic sentiments could be doing it for not only religious reasons but racism as well. I am saying it in this conte...
Bet you were only there as a tourist. Offcourse, you only saw what China wants to present Xinkiang to the world. Suggest you talk to local people, and special those living in south part of Xinkiang next time when you are there. Yes, every religion calls for peace and harmony, but what if you can not pratice your relligion freely, and you are discriminated just because you are a muslim. As a chinese muslim, good for you, you are not practicing your religion th...
I am very saddened at the violence in Xinjiang, where fellow Chinese (Han and Uighur) have been fighting amongst each other. I hope that the people of Xinjiang will not fall into the trap and violence that was set by separtists. Regardless of your ethnic background, China has the policy that "everyone is Chinese" and that achieving peace and harmony can only be done through equal treatment of all citizens. I also do not think it is fair to villify Uighurs ...
Key points from the Qur'an to consider: 2:79 Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.2:159 Those who conceal the clear (Signs) We have sent down, and the Guidan...
How Disgusting I have rarely been so upset at the comments I have read and as a muslim I have to vent my frustration about the ignorance of this person and also the media for only showing stories like this. An excerpt from http://www.cbc.ca/cp/world/050712/w0712126.html where a man in the Netherlands convicted of killing an outspoken critic of Islam gave his closing statements at his trial. He said: "What moved me to do what I did was purely my faith . . . I...
The BCMA Mark Nasid, Prince George The BCMA, British Columbia Muslim Association, claims they have tried to contact CBC for interviews, for visits on Eid, but no one has come. I have a sister who works for CBC and found out that they never received a invitation. If BCMA is doing this, than why doesn’t anyone ever hear about it in the Mosques. I have a brother in Vancouver, and I ask him all the time about what BCMA is doing to do damage control on our Muslim brother’s and ...
I went through an interesting experience on a forum that I enjoy reading through about my favorite car. This is the same day I read that Islamophobia is on the rise in America. (see http://www.cbc.ca/cp/world/050511/w051194.html) I went through a forum where someone survived a horrific crash and actually walked away. Eventually people mentioned god must have intervened and a few people disagreed but there was no real hostility. However, one person mentioned they ...
