An editorial in today’s NYTimes discusses how al-Bashir is creating so many hindrances in finding a peace solution for Darfurian genocide (creating obstacles in allowing a joint AU and UN peacekeeping force) while the state sponsored atrocities and genocide go on. He is perhaps following the true Sunnah worrying about a teddy bear and a dude who died 1500 years ago, and gives an f about the massacre of innocent people. If that’s what Islam teaches, then a cuddly teddy does not deserve to be named after any Muslim, dead or alive.

arjun, don't be so sure. It is only a matter of time and a few more numbers. And numbers have a curious habit of changing in favor of Islam.

It's a group thing, nothing related to individuals. :)

Re: # 101
dear arjun even if the 1.2 million cant do anything about it.. we believe in a god that will surely do something about you sooner or later. there is no escaping that!
and anyways, i urge muslims not to publish such things on the net and make debate about it because what you end up doing is getting more isults hurled at the Propher (PBUH) and islam by non-muslims who are shit scared by us because we will go to any lenghts to fight for our religion while they are so wrapped in this world that they will probably stop going to their temples all together if there was a bomb threat! and thats what they call their "faith"

Sherbaz sahib,

(graffitti in singapore can get you flogged and having anal sex in alabama can get you 6 months in prison. Needless to say, if I'm in singapore, I wont be tagging any walls and if I'm in Alabama.... )

Lemme try to complete the quote for you

"My partner (male or female) and I would be doing b*****y only in private and keep it secret from authorities"

Did I get it right???

Regards

Salim,

Unfortunately I came to that conclusion after reading more about your prophet. Do you deny that when islamists ask for punishments for defaming the prophet they are not basing that on islamic laws as approved by the prophet?

Anyways, I do take offence in naming a teddy bear after him. It is a disgrace to the teddy bear.

#96 masanamuthu {"Moreover, it is an insult for the teddy bears to be named after this violent megalomaniac. "}

Mithu Bhai,
Perhaps if you read more about this Humble and Kind Person (PBUH), rather than judge him from the violence and irrational cruelty of those who ostensibly commit evil in his name, you may find it in your heart to like BOTH the Teddy Bear and the Holy Prophet (PBUH)

HP #92 {"Salim,
After a long time I have seen a better post from you...look at Loop's post # 81 and read this.

“and for the non-muslim boy who owns a teddy (??) get help and if i ever see you I will surely not wait for a court ruling but kill you on the spot!!”"}

HP Sain,
What is even more incredulous is that these people really mean what they say. I always thought that they were merely trying to get attention by acting stupid and talking silly. But then, I never took Hamidumdum Sahib seriously either ...:)

I support the punishment given to the British teacher. There are examples in the hadiths/sunnah etc..

Moreover, it is an insult for the teddy bears to be named after this violent megalomaniac.

As to the liberals, they should thank the President of Sudan for sparing the hide of one of their own, thoroughly undeserved this generosity though it was.

Hope the lesson has been taught, and no lady (or layda) from Britain (or elsewhere) will repeat the mistake.

If that happens, the purpose would have been served. The rest is un-necessary and un-needed.

I think this guy must be removed from posting for making such statements."

I agree -- the guy is loopy.

Salim,
After a long time I have seen a better post from you. If it were for guys like Loop, we all were to ride the camels because that is Prophet's sunnah!


Btw, I would like chowk staff to look at Loop's post # 81 and read this.

“and for the non-muslim boy who owns a teddy (??) get help and if i ever see you I will surely not wait for a court ruling but kill you on the spot!!”

LOOP #85 {"salim chauhan do you know that its sunnah to keep the beard.. ...so if anyone should defend the prophet and his religion it should be those men in caves and god help us; never you!!! "}

Dear LOOP,
Being compassionate, being logical, being clean, being merciful, being nonviolent, being loving, being caring, being honest, and breathing air ARE ALL sunnah. Why must Sunnah be reserved for practices that are either outmoded, unnecessary, or inefficient?

If the Holy Prophet (PBUH) were alive today and based on his practical, loving, and rational nature, he would probably be clean-shaven, simply but tastefully dressed, and driving a car, instead of riding a camel. Oh! BTW, he would be against flying passenger jets into tall buildings, honor killings, suicide bombings, hatred of other Muslims and non-Muslims, suppression of women, and dictatorship, monarchy, and theocracy.

The last thing we need from the bearded cowards in caves is any defense of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Thanks to these irrational and violent people, our Holy Prophet's (PBUH) popularity has never been lower in the non-Muslim world. These evil people have tarnished Our Holy Prophet's (PBUH) image more than the foolish cartoonists, mediocre authors, and illiterate televangelists.

hindoos ... (and munafiques),

Why was an australian tourist sentenced to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment for spraying graffiti on a poster of King Bhumibol in Phuket?

It was because reverence for the King is an integral part of the Thai political system, without which it would collapse. It is criminal to attempt to dilute that reverence.

It's the same in this case, except ten times over.

The Sudanese court did the right thing in taking all facts into account including lack of intent and awarding the minimum possible punishment under the law.

The Sudanese President did the right thing in pardoning the punishment on humanitarian grounds.

There was nothing wrong with the legal basis of the sentencing, which stands. And it should and will remain in all Islamic countries in one form or another.

So, go back and enjoy your respective cow piss cocktails with idli hors' deouvres.
