I find it hard to fathom why certain people of traditionally non British faiths have such a hard time accepting people asking simple questions about their beliefs and faith?
Surely they reliase that what Britain is about is not being afraid to ask challenging questions?

I agree that it's very tiresome when people ask a reasonable, civilised question and get a rant in reponse (e.g. Noor's response to this question).
But on the other hand some people do ask questions that seem designed to wind up people of other faiths, and it's not surprising when people get wound up as a result.
I think people's idea of what constitutes a challenging question and what constitutes a deliberate insult often differ.
But I think we should all try to get over this - after all this forum could be a really good place to build some real understanding among people of different faiths and no faith at all.

I'm British born and breed(white,blue eyed,Scott). I've been a Muslim for 2 years now and have absolutely no problem at all people asking simple questions about my belief and faith. Challenge away. No problem here. But to insult and say degrading, incorrect and hateful things a whole other issue entirely. I am the vioce of britain just as much as the next person.

"Traditionally non British faiths"??
Whats one of those then?
Would a British Muslim come under that heading??
Hows that for a 'challenging' question?

hi chancer!
yeah you make a good point- you should be able to express your opinion without feeling the need to apologise- as long as your intent is honourable, debate is a healthy part of ensuring positive change in society. i like the fact that you have not targeted this question souly at one faith, as some people do, just to get a rise out of them, and spur on a hate campaign..well done!

THE VOICE OF ISLAM :-
we don't have any unresolved questions in our Islam. We don't have any questions at all. We are here to just resolve your questions about your own religion which most of the infidels don't know at all. This is the reason why you go on ask such questions. You are all welcome brother. Don't worry we are here to answer you. Keep it up.

Sometimes their faith has never been questioned, so they don't have any answers. Nobody likes feeling undermined.
