Come on Taylor, nobody wants to behead you. I appreciate it's the choice method of killing by the AQ boys however there doesn't seem to be much of a call for beheading from the Salafi boys.

Religion, i love the way it brings people together.

Unfortunatly it seems to be on either side of the fence.

Those that attempt to sit on said fence get shot at from both sides.

P.s your god whatever you choose to call him, knows what your thinking, if he exsists as described in all these variations of the same theme.

I prefere to just live good be honest and true to myself, except what is put before you as a gift, not a test or temptation and deal with the trials of life as they present themselves.

I figure i'll be a long time dead so sort the all the sins i commit out and repent when i fully understand the extent to which i have sinned.

Then with my reasoning i will have actually not committed any sins because i did not fully understand, and since i didn't grovel at any alter and pray before false idols, i unlike all these religious fruitcakes have not commited the afore mentioned sin, ergo hello valhallah.

Kill them all and let God sort them out

Geezer
I certainly agree with you that if some form of beliefs spills over and affects those who have nothing to do with them, then of course it is entirely reasonable to question it.

Otherwise I am quite happy to go my own way and for others to go theirs while I mind my own business.

On another tack, if someone refuses to shake a woman's hand because of his religious beliefs, it is naturally a bit of a strange way to behave in our eyes. It is however a precept of his own religion and therefore he is entitled to follow it and if it affects other's opinions of him because he carries that behaviour outside his religion, then he has to accept that other people will form their own views of his actions.

Come on JTaylor, we went through this back in 2010 and you still haven't learnt?

Clarity,
Why are you still confused?

Anyway, I am not here to argue with you or Shaid. I realise, again what you are all about.

I am not a scholar. I can wager that you are not one either. How can you claim to be in a position to comment on the Islamic position.

Common sense will always prevail. I also wager that those who are 'trying' to educate me are most likely to be spoon fed their religion rather than taking time to see what they are actually doing, what x y and z means, context etc. Of course, i might be wrong. This 'proof' of which you talk about is subjective. You speak to me like i do not know the various stages (4 iirc) of repentance etc etc. What you don't understand is that most non Muslims reading this will be reading about this for the first time and come to the conclusion that you are a fruitcake. No offence intended but by going into technicalities you sound no different to one of those Jehovas Witness ladies that comes knocking on the door.

By all mean i'm no Waki, neither am i less religious than Mr Beardo. I'm more concious in the way people see us and frankly fed up of all the crap our community churns out and gives nothing in return.

You're an Islamic Fundamentalist who takes significant guidance from the writing of Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab. You're a Wahhabist and I've studied the subject deeply enough to understand what that really stands for. I see through obfuscation and I can spot al-taqqiya from a thousand yards. My partner travels the globe as a senior audit and assurance chartered accountant - if she offered you her hand to conclude a business meeting you'd refuse on the grounds that she's a women. That makes you a cultural enemy.

No we are not done here. Don't you accuse me of being watered down or more to the point offering a watered down version of the so called Islamic prespective. How can you possibly come to the conclusion that i'm trying to be all Waki in the professional world? Is it to impress my piers. To impress my boss. Nope, i am my own boss. My employees are all English folk too and the reason for that is that i'm paying them to do a job not provide another obstacle for me to climb over.

Also ref violating my own laws. Well this weekend i was violating some real English laws in good fashion (don't worry folks it was nothing sexual or criminal - just civil). I don't see how i cannot shake a woman hands regardless of what your link says. Granted religion might not allow it and say it's wrong however i have great control over my sexual desires and i can tell you or any mullah out there that by shaking a womans hand will not give me an instant urge to jump into bed with her. I'm sure God can overlook this matter when he weighs up some of the good i have done.

the shaking hand thing is a Saftey measure, when you have someone in any prison in here or the USA any where who havent had contact with a woman what do they do? they bum other male inmates.

if you have a young lad never had contact with a woman in his life and shakes hands with this hot chick what do you think is going through his mind. the rule is for every Muslim, there are many reason behind it unfortunately I don't follow it but I respect it and agree with it.

Salafists (and according to them, all Muslims) aren't to shake hands with my Erasmus Prize winning partner of ten years 'cos they might get a hardon. It's fūcking absurd and under-evolved.

Go to the bogs, crank one out and then back to business. The whole thing is just anathema to me. The notion that a women is nothing more than a sexual object is ape-like and retrograde. Surely this is clear?
