We have already been over the security issues many times but here I was mentioning other reasons that are correlated to this. Any type of covering regardless of religious or personal reasons that choose to conceal face should not be allowed based on the reality we are currently living in(ie...

@Akheilos , Read what @syedali73 wrote as it describes the issue at hand. We are fighting right now against a very dangerous ideology(my opinion) and it will harm west and asia included(ie pakistan's enormous sacrifice in war on terror) in the long run if it is kept unchecked. However like...

Mon ami Talon, I do not care about the rabid indienne troll parceque they are rabidly islamophobic. However you are a sane person with critical thinking well beyond most and yet you defend the symbol of niqab in today's concept. However this discussion is fruitless for all of us unless we know...

@flamer84 ,She is part of the silent muslim majority that never spoke up and now there is a wahabI infestation in europe particularly (rare in canada largely due to our assimilation). I practice the islamique faith myself and the niqab is clearly a symbol of slavery n opression in todays...

Post reported for toxic historical references

The technique employed here is the first clear evidence of Western influence; although the Islamic world was not unaware of monumental painting - the paucity of surviving examples is attributable to the accidents of history - painting on a large-scale support, separate from the wall, is an...

Although the main purpose of this diplomatic letter was to seek French support against Russia, one-third of its length is filled with a decorative gold illuminated heading. The magnificent heading was meant to express to its recipient, the French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (reigned 1804–14), the...

Please go through the catalog of the museum and look through the entire collection since I doubt historical objects have any religious affliation. We did not name it a shiite center but rather a islamic cultural museum encompassing art from the fatimid caliphate down to the moghal empire. I mean...

Framed within elaborately painted and illuminated borders and mounted on an album page filled with vegetal design in gold, these portraits of two of the greatest Mughal emperors illustrate the contrast in the artistic conventions under each of their reigns. The painted bust of Jahangir (r...

Mawlana Hazar Imam and Prime Minister Stephen Harper shake hands after unveiling the plaque commemorating the Foundation of the Ismaili Centre, Toronto, the Aga Khan Museum and their Park. ZAHUR RAMJI Mawlana Hazar Imam speaks with members of the Canadian Ismaili Muslim Youth Choir, who had...

uis Monreal is a ball of energy who speaks quickly and wields a large vocabulary. Born in Spain to a Catalan mother and a Basque father, he is fluent in French, Spanish, English, German, and (he smiles) “some Arabic.” Peter J. Thompson/National PostA woman walks past art work made by Pakistan...

Hmmm sunni rebels supporting IS.... sometimes I wonder why have we even allied with the despot kingdoms in middleast when iran appears to be the sane one from time to time. @Akheilos , its actions and sympathetic actions like that make it hard to remove misconceptions about our faith. As they...

ahaahha you always have a humorous way of explaining even the most chaotic situations. Nice one and I guess this is the true face of democracy and I am glad pakistan's commitment to free and fair election and if only we here in the west actually knew the importance of voting instead of simply...

@Akheilos, I will take what i said earlier back as i thought pakistan had a sectarian problem going on but based on this thread, is there somekind of revolution taking place?. I am so clueless on this so can you please fill me in:-))) on this because this is looking like tyranny from the...

First i would like to offer my condolence to the victim's family as its always sad to hear a young child die before being able adulthood and enjoy the fruits of life. I hope Pakistan cracks to the bottom of this and I would like to thank you for opening the thread to highlight this sad...

However I still thank you for giving your time to this discussion and if I was a labor votor(my parents are) I would probably agree with you but sadly I am not. Have a good day and I hope to sure you around the forum and I do enjoy your analysis...

@MarkusS, Good thread mon ami I feel with the recent developments in middle east, we are ignoring russia and they are becoming quite the problem in Ukraine. Being in Europe, how do you think we should deal with them as part of our long term strategic policy. In Canada, we have already expelled...

I see how far you go in defending the saudi state and I can clearly see what school of thought you feel empowered by(deobandai school of though eh). Well since you live in west let me explain how our governments run our policies, we follow realism though time to time we do go astray like in iraq...
