No one interested in discussing Islam?

Ok. So you would just tolerate it if people criticised your mum and discuss about your family background?Originally posted by NUS_Superst@r:Why Islam don't allow ppl to discuss their religion while the Christianity and Buddhism tolerate ppl's criticisms more than Islam? No wonder, all the world start to see Muslims as terrorists. If only they open up themselves...
Why not see the beauty about their actions? IE, they defended their religion because of their beliefs. -
Who says they don't have debates? Go and read up more about the difference between political extremism disguised as Islam by the media, and real debates about the future of Islamic thought by progressive scholars in the Middle East, America and Britain.Originally posted by NUS_Superst@r:Why Islam don't allow ppl to discuss their religion while the Christianity and Buddhism tolerate ppl's criticisms more than Islam?

Just because you see what the mainstream global media wants you to see, doesn't mean the reality is not there.
And starting a debate without understanding the place that religion has in the heart and mind of a practising Muslim, and assuming that Islam and other religions are weighed equally by different individuals in their daily lives, is not very wise.
It's about the language and assumptions used. If you come to the negotiation table with a huge chip on your shoulder and are not prepared to put aside your hangups or assumptions for even that period of time, any debate will be a waste of time.
No one is forcing you to agree with anything, it's all about respecting the differences and trying to find the common ground.
If there's no room for debate, then this forum might very well be an illusion. I've seen your posts in Eternal Hope, and I am quite offended with the kind of language you use there as well. -
Sigh... it appears that my warnings have fallen upon deaf ears.
trendz: I've already taken akubodo1 to task myself. There's no need for you to get all vulgar and reopen old wounds.
Superstar: I know that you revel in being a forum troll. Maybe that's just a form of entertainment to you, having a good laugh out of making people pissed. Perhaps you don't realise that these are the true feelings of actual people that you're hurting. But then again, I suppose you believe that the universe revolves around you. In which case, I suggest you go and revise Newton's Law of Gravitation.
You may try to be a forum troll elsewhere, but in The Islam Forum, Call of the Minaret, and Cafe Casual Redux, I call the shots. I can shut you down every single time you try to be a troll in these places.
You want to make a fool of yourself, then that's your problem. But since you're hellbent on wanting to tarnish all other NUS mechanical engineers with you, then I will be there to stop you every step of the way.
Responses from the likes of you make me despair at the kind of youth that our society is producing.
