  • Xinjiang China Controvery over Ramadan and Fasting
    I am posting this because these articles make it sound like Islam in China is not welcomed or in danger and Muslims are persecuted when I do not believe it is true.

Ifirst of all want to point out that some things do not add up, though in principle I do not agree it's wrong if t...
  • Syria - The Truth And Why You Should Care

The Syrian people, or at least the majority of them don't want the instability and su...
  • Is it Haram/Not Allowed to read, understand follow Islam by the Holy Qur'an in a language other than Arabic?
    This is the debate that I have been involved in numerous times over the years. I have asked many Imams about this issue and the response is normally the same. The last response I had was that "you get 10 times the reward" for reading it in Arabic without any supporting evidence from Qur'an or authentic hadith. Some people will not even accept any religious debate about Islam when it is done in English, yet the same people will lear...

Regardless of your ethnic background, China has the policy that "everyone is Chinese" and that achieving peace and harmony can only be done through equal treatment of all citizens. I also do not think it is fair to villify Uighurs ...
  • Uighur/Uyghur Ethnic Muslims Protest in Urumqi, Xinjiang Comments about China, Islam and establishing the facts
    Ithink it's important to establish the facts here, many of which are in stark contrast to what is being reported in media. I also don't believe Uighurs or Tibetans in general want indepedence or condone any form of violent protests, this is a minority of people being influenced and controlled by outside forces. The Uighurs by the East Turkestan Independence movement (exhiled Uighurs linked to this listed terrorist group). Some of the facts that aren't bein...
  • Comment about People Who Attack Islam
    I've noticed that many of the more clever debaters and anti-Islamists, instead of focusing on the facts and evidence I present, instead do their best to make me look like a bad person through insinuations and other irrelevant comments.Whenever you take a quote from the Qur'an, they will often just ignore it and respond with something about a Hadith or an insult:Example:sa...

    Key points from the Qur'an to consider: 2:79 Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.2:159 Those who conceal the clear (Signs) We have sent down, and the Guidan...
  • Muslims Should Not Follow Blindly
    Qur'an 17:36. And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).That is one of many verses which I believe compel Muslims to think before they act, especially when it comes to blindly following what they have heard from others, whether it be an Imam or close loved one, the Qur'an tells us that we are going to be held accountable for ...
  • The Prophet Muhammad Had Nothing To Gain By Challenging The Existing Leaders
    Many anti-Islamists charge the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him), with being an egocentric tyrant among other things, insisting that his only goal was to deceive people and that he invented Islam himself and that he did not receive divine revelation as Jesus had.The biggest flaw with that argument is the obvious point that they would never mention. Muhammad already had protection and influence because of a wealthy Uncle.He risked the life of his fri...
  • Canada Makes More Sense
    This is what an educated Canadian said on CBC about Ann McLellan's comment about us not being prepared for transit attacks. It's refreshing to see that many Canadians are educated and rational unlike our Liberal government. (If we chose the NDP we know we would not be involved in any unjust or illegal wars that put us in harms way). What some Canadians had to say about McLellan's comments on CBC view point: I have no desire whatsoever to become "psychologica...
  • Allah is GOD in "Aramaic", the language Jesus spoke
    Allah is GOD in "Aramaic", the language Jesus spoke With Ramadan around the corner (generally accepted as tomorrow if the new moon is sighted) I felt like doing some research and it turns out what my friend said is true (god is "Allah" in Armaic") and hopefully the Christians that knock on my door every few months will come back soon (although they promised to visit soon last time we spoke). It is a historical fact that Jesus spoke the "Aramaic" language so n...
