Google it! Ma Salaama ~ |
She doesn't need to be removed or stopped. There's lots of silly people on DCUM, why should she be singled out? Let her be. There is no law against making Islam look silly. You don't need to tell her to shut up. It doesn't reflect well on you. |
Nope, no need. You don't know more about this than I do. |
You keep saying goodbye but you never actually leave. Why is that? |
Not that poster, but why is it a fallacy? She's making a perfectly good and valid point that women in Islam have no unilateral right of divorce identical to what men have, unless explicitly provided for in their marriage contract. I mean, you can form a theory as to why this is a good thing, but I don't think you can argue that factually this is entirely correct. |
You are confusing several people. There are at least three of us here. I'm the woman who needs a shower after dealing with Nasty Little Sidekick, but I'm not the poster you guys are calling "babe" who is also different from the atheist. Good work offending multiple posters tonight. (And "babe"??? Don't either of you understand how wrong it is to use words that are demeaning to women, during a discussion about women's rights?) |
Different PP here from the one you're addressing. I agree, she doesn't need to be removed. I have said that if she wanted to put her religion in a good light she'd leave voluntarily or stop making so many suspect claims that provoke pages of arguments. But she's free to do what she wants. I do kinda feel this whole thread has run its course and we've reached the point where we're just fending off insults. I'd welcome it being shut down. But as long as Muslina and NLS are here saying things like, "Islam offers equal rights to women," I'll be here explaining what exactly that means. |
You see what this dingbat started? Who knows if it is a he or she or what country he or she is posting from.
Post a pic of yourself in a veil. Gain "some" western sympathy. Then act like an ass and post diatribe after diatribe. |
Nasty Little Muslim here. I am the one who is cautious about calling all hadith authentic, not Muslima. If you're going to take me down, how come I'm still standing here? If you are too cowardly to have an identity on DCUM, then you need to expect we may confuse one islamophobe with the other two. I don't know which sura/verse Muslima quoted but if its the one about a woman declaring her oath of allegiance to the Prophet, that is often used in support of the fact that Islam granted women political choices and their opinion counted. It may not show "voting" rights per se, but it shows women were granted the right to align themselves with whatever ruler they wanted. This verse shows they were politically relevant. The sura I mentioned, ash shura, provides clear evidence that women had voting rights and the right of their opinion to be heard in all matters requiring a collective opinion. The Quranic language that addresses is plural, rather than female or only male. It means Allah is talking to everyone here. Given that Allah clearly had no issue delineating different rights between men and women, the reader would know that here, in this verse, Allah is including women. So its time to apologize to Muslima. Seems pretty clear. Islam did give voting rights to women. |
Nasty here. Nope. This was not a conversation about women's rights, it was a trashing session to show Islam denied women rights. It is most befitting to strip you of yours then by using degrading terms. |
I can tell who are the true Islamaphobes on this thread.
They are the ones who refer to the God Muslims worship as Allah when writing in English. Allsh is simply the Arabic word for God. Christian Arabs pray to Allah when using their native tongue. When someone refers to the God whom Muslims worship as Allah when writing in English, they are denyng that the God of Islam is the same monotheistic God worshipped by Jews and Christians and implying Allah is a different god (note the small g). This is un-Islamic and, strangely, a disturbing practice shared by non-Muslim westerners who insist that Islam is a barbaric religion and strident Muslims who aim to show how special their religion is relative to the religions of the west, even as they are all rooted in the same semitic monotheism. |
Nasty here. I asked you to stop the mockery and insults, but you didn't. So heres my reply to you asking Muslima to post a pic of herself in a veil to garner sympathy: Post a pic of your last pap smear lab results showing your STD (HPV seems to be popular in western states) and maybe we Muslims will feel sorry for you too. |
Wrong.Wrong.Wrong. Muslims are encouraged to use "Allah" just as they are encouraged to greet one another as "Salaam" instead of saying "Peace". We worship the same God as Jews and Christians (except Christians today think Jesus IS God but we do not). We are always encouraged to use the Arabic word whenever possible. It is more complete, less likely to cause confusion. In fact, all our prayers are in Arabic too, every word of it. |
Muslima, I'm just an ignorant, barefoot, veiled Muslim gal. Can you explain to me what it means to be a very American woman? Does it mean she's wearing a baseball cap, her boyfriend's boxers, a nose ring, a few tattoos, and eating apple pie? ?? |
Using a different word for God when speaking in English implies a different god. I don't know who is doing this encouraging, but it is a very negative development. This is quite different from saying Salaam for peace because salaam does not imply a different peace. Dropping in a phrase in Arabic using Allah when speaking English is fine: Inshallah is a particularly useful one. This is like using a Latin phrase that has gained currency in English like "carpe diem." Surely you see the irony that the only non-Muslim westerners who refer to the God Muslims worship as Allah are virulently anti-Islamic and seek to distance Islam from their own religion by implying the god Muslims worship is not the god Christians and Jews worship and implying Muslims are not monotheistic as they are. When Muslims, speaking in English, use Allah they are similarly implying their god is not God, the monotheistic entity widely worshipped by English speaking people. And they are encouraging the Islamaphobes by adopting their practice of using Allah instead of God. |
