The thing is, Islam and secularism,democratic values coincide. Coincides to the point that it can be suspected these concepts were probably borrowed from Koran itself. Are you satisfied with "islamic" republic of pakistan's performance?

I thought you despised secularism like the rest. But I liked your posts in the Turkish pianist topic. At least, you are getting used to the idea. This part surprised me:There is a form of Islam, in the revealed book itself, which people can follow. That is; one without sects; one without the...

Yeah i know that is why i put the word secular in inverted commas. But still, you are realizing the other side of it. Nice.

Not really. Rest assured, it is possible to do well in every field. You'd do best choosing the subjects which most appeals to you. I noticed you are more, what should I say, "secular" in your views? Why the change??

Hmm, haven't decided anything yet?

I think she meant that it is possible for Muslims to be secular, which i do agree with. I also agree with your views.

I am living in Nordland (north most county of norway) for a few months in summer vacation. Nice to know. So, are you planning to take up science subjects in college?

If saying the truth makes me an "Indian troll" so be it. (I wonder, what is so low if I was an Indian after all? Aren't Indians human too?) - True worshippers of God alone will always be minority: 12:103-6 - Majority of "believers" are those who accepted partners with God. 12:106 -...

Summer job. I got some money escorting someone's belongings from the airport. :) How are your studies going?

Verse 33:59 is for unsafe neighbourhoods (yet, nowhere it says for you to "veil" but just to wear an extra layer of outer garments, what outer garments? This is left to be judged by the women herself). It was revealed at a time when the Muslim women were being taunted in the neighbourhood of...

Because Muslims don't read the Koran themselves. Most Muslims would be shocked if they were told that the Koran supports the eight principles of western democracy as outlined in Today’s Ism’s by Ebenstein and Fogelman.

Thank you for the very nice post.

I agree with the article whole-heartedly. Whoever said the ridiculous headscarf and burka is anything "islamic"? We have fundamental problem in understanding our religion itself. How many people have checked the Koran to see if wearing burka or headscarf is in any way mandatory before wearing...

The scenario to nuke Mecca and Medina has been discussed extensively before. Although repugnant on moral grounds, it was only a contingency exercise and nothing more. He was not really a "fanatic" as this article would have us believe. Such simulations are normal part of any major military...

I think people should be allowed to wear whatever they want. The responsibility to dress decently should be left to her and only her value judgment (what appears to be "decent" to her should be enough for everybody). Only parents have the right to direct a girl, not the state. If men feels...

Real Muslims will always remain the minority in every country, including Turkey. This is not me saying but quoting the Koran.

Musharaf was one of the best presidents pakistan ever had. Sure, he was a dictator, however, by South Asian standards, he was pretty good. The difference between him and present government is that he was not incompetent. He increased cooperation with US which is good but the present...

Interesting article. Earthquakes happen because of plate-tectonic movements, not due to some mad scientist working in Alaska... I am not being racist nor do I have anything against pakistan (I admire the resilence of the people, still surviving despite so much adversaries). But I think not...

Israeli Arabs have a higher standard of living than many comparable nations. Supporting palestinian terrorists is akin to supporting Afghan taliban, pakistani taliban, chechen terrorists, Kashmir terrorists and Xinxiang terrorists. Here, people mostly show hypocrisy when they denounce pakistan...
