Fatwas issued by ignorant muslim leaders ?
925705
we are in a crazy time my friend!  \n\ni personally don't trust just about any leader. there are famous Muslim scholars who are well known and trust worthy and those who claim to be scholars and no one really knows who they are.\n\nwhat exactly did you hear lately that got you interested in the "Fatwa" issue?\n\nChristianity and Judaism has the same exact thing. \n\nPat Robertson called for assassinating president Chavez of Venezuela.

They're brain-dead and brain washed by the Anti-American MSM\nand they don't even realize that they would be second-class citizens in these muslim countries. These human-rights organ\nizations are anti-american and they have their heads buried in the sand along with these Islamo-Fascist Pigs.

because Saudi Arabia doesn't understand that at the time of Muhammad and his companions people were allowed to have churches. go and tell them this. they won't listen to you. it's not the people it's the gov. i am a Muslim and i lived there and it really annoys me how they pretend to follow Islam while they are not following the simplest basics of Islam.

(m)\n\nEvery society in the world has laws as part of its structure. These laws are written and codified so that anyone who wants can look them up in public libraries. Every citizen in those countries knows the law; if they don’t, they can easily find out. Unfortunately, there is much vagueness about Saudi law, especially when it comes to social conduct. \n\nWorse still, there is a government body known as “The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.” It is known generally as the mutawaa, or religious police, and they operate all over the Kingdom without laws or written guidelines. \n\nTheir mission is to stop corruption in society — which honestly they have been doing very well. They shut down brothels, crack down on drug traffickers, and detain people who do forbidden things in our cities and towns. For that we give them credit. At the same time, complaints from the public against the narrow-mindedness of some of the organization’s members are on the increase. Instead of being something to be proud of, most members of the public fear the organization as if everyone in it were phantoms or bogeymen. \n\nPeople hired to do these jobs should be of the highest quality and possess considerable religious knowledge. That is not, unfortunately, what we see in reality. The reality is people in our streets and malls who are obsessed with women who do not cover their faces in public and who are implementing their own version of the law according to their own personal beliefs. \n\n“Cover your face woman,” “Fear God,” “The abaya is supposed to be worn over the head and not on the shoulders.” \n\nFor more details goto the below link\n\nhttp://www.wluml.org/english/newsfulltxt.shtml?cmd%5B157%5D=x-157-143167

This is yet another stupid action by someone in the public eye that throws Islam into ridicule. Fanatics of this standard are the worst enemies that the Muslim faith can have.

The ruling system that emanates from Islam is neither theocratic nor republic. It's unique; Islam is not being implemented in it's totality anywhere in the world. The misconception is that countries such as Saudia Arabia and Iran can be considered Islamic states, however, that is not the case. Furthermore, the Islamic state permits it's citizens to practice other religions, in contrast, to what was just conveyed earlier by the other person. If your intention is to attain a better grasp of the ruling system under Islam then I recommend the book that I inputed under the heading "Source(s)" in the bottom. I hope I was to some avail in respect to your inquiry.

Osama IS NOT the leader of Islam he is a radical terrorist who uses and manipulates the teaching of the Quran to promote his own political agenda. Islam preaches peace and submission. I was raised Cristian and and Converted. I was very ignorant before I picked up a Quran myself and read it. Please do not fall into the trap of believing only what you hear and see from the Media. I have many reason to back everything up and if you want a personal discussion about this I would love to IM.

You make some good points. It's amazing how so many people can deliberately ignore calls from Muslim leaders, even in "moderate" countries, to kill or convert all non Muslims. Were it up to me, we wouldn't give a penny to any of those monsters.

I am very upset hearing that Muslim women are banned from wearing head scarves in France and now the Dutch are ready to ban women from wearing the traditional Burqa (covering of the body with a coat and the face). These countries are basically telling everyone that Muslims have no right to do what is in their religion. I mean, how narrow minded can these people be? Seriously! These countries are taking away the freedom to practice religion and discriminating against Muslim women (and men) because a few idiotic people claiming to be Muslim have attacked the US. The fanatics should be caught and put in jail but don't tell everyone who are not fanatic Muslims NOT to wear what they want to wear or have to wear as per their religion. \nWhat would happen if the Christian and Catholic churches were banned from having their nuns cover themselves from their head to toe? What about if the Jews were told that they could no longer eat Kosher meat and had to eat non-kosher food because Kosher was banned? \nOf course, the people in these other countries are narrow minded folks who think they are right and everyone else is wrong. How much of this can anyone take? It is NOT right to take away a person's religious freedom because of security. I agree that there needs to be precautions but women can wear hijab and other police women can check them if they need to when they go to airports or other areas that they need to do security checks. Telling Muslim women (and it doesn't matter how many of them cover or not) is basically stating to the world that Muslims have no right to practice their religion freely in public (and in private if they go too far). \nFrance and the Dutch have gone too far with their bans. They need to stop persecuting those who have done nothing to them. Look at their own countries....there are people who are not Muslim who have tried to hurt them and get away from the security. So stop screwing Muslims over with these crappy laws!

I agree that there is a problem. Their agenda is to make everyone in the whole world follow Islam by choice, by force or they must face death.\nPeople would rather stick their heads in the sand and deny the problem than admit that there is a problem, however, to destroy another person or another religion means that you are no better than they.\nThere are Muslim men in North America who are trying to get a law passed so that they will have the right to kill their wife or their children if they do something that displeases them.

Girl..im proud of you! and for the person down below about not a wearing a viel in afghanistan and women voting...all these aspects are becasue of the EXTREMIST GOVERNMENTS in these countries and not because of Islam...Why dont you look at UAE. UAE is a muslim country with Churches, Temples and muslims arent FORCED to wear a Viel either. There are women in government positions eg Sheikha Lubna. The things happening in Pakistan like honour killing are not justifiable by Islam and are Wrong!!! Islam does not encourage this kind of behaviour.

the shiite muslimsbelieve that the leader of the faith have been ordained by allah and decendent from the prophet mohhamed-it is like our monarchy.\n\nthe sunni orthodox muslims believe that the leader is irrelevent to his birth-and this is where the two groups anger originates from.\n\nit all stems from the medieval times, and within the crusades the sunni and fatimid muslims would rather side with the westerners than unite, due to this dissagreement and border disputes.

well said! I'm not a muslim, I'm a christian but I get sick of the pettymindedness too. A lot of it is ignorance, they know nothing about Islam except what they are fed by the media- I think it is up to moderate muslims to raise their voices and be heard loud and clear.\nI believe that religious extremism is a major problem in the world today, and people need to be shown that it is possible for people of all faiths to live in harmony, as they have done for centuries already. \nI wish you peace.
