What is the reason behind this sort of non-sense? I for one, have nothing against non-Muslims who say anything against Islam because they are entitled to their opinion.. We can only represent our opinion and hope for peace and love between everyone.
BUT... After reading this question I was rather angered. Because this was a "Muslim". And no offence to anyone since everyone has there own way of thinking, but some Muslims actually agreed with the person who asked the question.. saying to others we hang out in "cliques".

I say we pray for our Ummah and pray to Allah to guide a lot of the ignorant within Islam. I stand by my brothers and sisters and all Muslims. But Allah has taught us to speak up against an unjust person.. persons, Muslim or not. And ALL Muslims should feel that way.. Do you agree??

Jenn--
Allah knows what i'm guilty of or not lets leave that upto him to decide. And when a hypocrite asks a question such as he--all Muslims should unite against injustice. Not agree with him and point fingers at others. I know in my answer whatever I adressed was to him. But since you had to say we had "cliques" I had to point it out. If everyone forms together against a wrong-doer, does that mean we have "cliques". If so I wish this whole Ummah was a "clique". Maybe we wouldnt have people like him them. Salam

Terry G-
I respect that sister and I am no one to decide how Muslim someone is. I was simply saying that justice is blind. And that's what Islam says as well. I love all of my brothers and sisters but Allah said that someone who turns away from the wrong-- is just as wrong as the wrong-doer. And my opoligies if anyone was offended. But I will stick to my morals despite anything.

Since Islam is also referred to 'Deenullah', I myself, have great resentment and dislike for anyone that slanders Islam. For there are conditions that must be met for a person to enter into Islam, as there are conditions when acted upon, nullify one's Islam. Just being ignorant and saying whatever or excepting someone that says whatever they want to because of the Constitution of the United States, does not negate the reality that the tongue is from the many things that can land a person in the great Hell-fire! Freedom of Speech is a very fraudulent statement, there is no land that a person can make a speech about anything or anybody with out consequences.

Allah is All-Wise and He knows what's best for us, as He's also our Creator. Many of the forbidden things in Islam are also things that are regularly warned against or have special focus in secular and Western society as well, like pre-marital sex, teen pregnancy, alcohol, cigarettes and drugs, and even the unhealthy aspects of pork. There are also other major sins in Islam like engaging in interest. To us, it seems like something that should be our choice whether we want to end up subscribing to ever-growing debts due to interest, but Allah knows the injustice and oppression of this system of business and has forbidden it for us for our own good. Of course, there are some things that we may feel are very small and even if we did them we would know where to draw the line, but even then we don't do these things because Allah knows what's best for us. For example, so many people that we all know who are involved in relationships always think that they're not doing anything intimate, they're just really good friends and nothing more, but Allah tells us in the Qur'an, "and come not NEAR Zina", because He knows that simple things like being "just good friends" leads to bigger things which can cause us so much grief in the future. Alhamdulillah that we're Muslim and we have such guidelines to abide by. Insha'Allah we can have all the pleasures we want forever in Jannah, pleasures that we aren't even capable of imagining now.

Islam-haters are doing their best to demonize islam and muslims. They are pretending to be former muslims and now followers of other religion to stress a point that islam is "evil". While some are pretending to be muslims to misguide those muslims who are ignorant of their own religion and doctrines.
But let us also remember that Muslims ARE NOT ANGELS! We are humans and such capable of feeling pain, sadness, anger, hate and jealousy. We are not perfect. While many of us are trying to live a life that is reflected in the tolerant and moderate teaching of the Qur'an, others are just not trying at all.
Why do we have to feel sorry for every mistake that other muslim makes? Why do we let ourselves to be a victim of this collective blame mentality?

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim - In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah sister.
Well, I for one choose to pick which battles to fight and which to let alone. I look at the variety of peole on Yahoo answers and I realize they fall into different categories. There are the honest questioners, Muslim and non-Muslim, who ask a real question and expect a real answer. There are those who seem to have an agenda and ask provocative questions, but they actually react quite well when you take the time to give a thoughtful answer. Then there are those who simply are out to goad, bother, harass, and be foolish. I choose to ignore the third category, whether they are Muslim or not. I have limited time in my day. I try to answer questions when I have a free moment fi sabil Allah. I don't waste time answering such foolishness. I think it is a mistake to give the person in this particular instance the attention he is seeking, even if that attention is negative. If everyone were to ignore the question, it would simply fade away. It is not necessary to rise to the bait of every fisher on Yahoo.
At least, you should make du'a for this person. If he is Muslim he is in need of du'a to help him deal with his negative attitude towards women. If he is not Muslim he is in need of du'a asking Allah to guide him. Leave off negative comments and tit-for-tat responses. Allah will deal with him in one way or another. And Allah knows best.

I don't have any complain to Muslims. I live in Iran which has got great Islamic academic places as you would know... Here people do their own good in the case of Islam and there is no one complaining of Muslims. The only bad performance of Islam is from the governments that try to make thier own grandeur for putting their own words.

After studying Islam for two years I could not accept it, but I sympathize with you and know your frustration.
It is hard when others give such a bad example of your faith, it is hurtful. God bless you for speaking out against radicals like him, the sad thing is that it is radicals like him that get their hands on the guns and keep the peaceful, loving people down. Sometimes killing or even worse.
Whenever we try to force others to obey moral laws, we are putting ourselves in the place of God, only he can judge.
There have been Mis-guided Christians doing the same thing, luckily we have mostly gotten past that now, I hope the same happens for Islam. Only the Muslim oppressors are against freedom, freedom is a wonderful thing.
Good Luck and God Bless!

all i know is that we all have to answer to god by ouselves so what others do or say isnt relevent as we have to answer for oour own deeds etc
we have to be sure that our relationship with god is a strtong personal one doesnt matter what people see or think as you can never be accepted in the eyes of everyone

When I say
When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
I'm not shouting " down with Christians and Jews."
I am whispering "I seek peace,"
and Islam is the path that I choose.
When I say. . . I am a Muslim,
I speak of this with pride.
And confess that sometimes I stumble,
and need Allah to be my guide.
When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
I know this makes me strong.
And in those times when I am weak,
I pray to Allah for strength to carry on.
When I say. . . I am a Muslim,
I'm not boasting of success.
I'm acknowledging that Allah has rescued me,
and I cannot ever repay the debt.
When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are indeed visible,
but Allah forgives because his followers are worth it.
When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
it does not mean I will never feel pain.
I still have my share of heartaches,
which is why I invoke Allah's name.
When I say. . .I am a Muslim,
I do not wish to judge.
I have no such authority
My duty is to submit to Allah's all-encompassing love.

All of this anger is accomplishing absolutely nothing. I am Muslim and I refuse to get in the middle of this mess. I respect all people, even if I don't agree with them. This nonsense does nothing to help others better understand Islam. We are all believers in our own way and I refuse to judge "how Muslim" someone is.
