hello to all
i would like to discuss the current religous issues we are all experiencing-

in France the hijaab has been banned-
in turkey the hijaab has become banned-
in tunisia the hijaab has become banned-
in U.K there is a racist party- the BNP- which is assaulting our brothers and sisters-

i just wanted to know what other issues are happening which are going opposite our deen islam-
and how you all feel about this?

W/salam,

LOL strange question, you should perhaps ask, "what's not going the opposite way?!"

Good point Jazaireya4ever! There's good news and bad news for Muslims everywhere in the world, but let's not be paranoid about it [no offence meant at all]. If you wanna feel good, watch or read some Muslim revert stories. They'll make you feel like we're winning, and we will some day. I truly believe that.

Which ones? Those who become shias?
or those who follow the madakhela path?
or those who chose to be Ibadhiyeen?
or those who fancy sufism?

Oh la la Jazairiyya. I give up. I look for the good in life and people, unlike you it appears. There's enough misery out there. It's a question of focus. I mean I do have a good moan now and then, but overall I don't like to dwell on negativism. Not good for your mental health. I hope it's just a stage you're going through.

Oh my, so cynical!

I know of only a few reverts personally...I don't even know what madakhela or ibadiyeen mean...but I know they aren't shia or sufi. I don't know where you live but is this a real problem where you are??

I'm sure that some reverts do not make the distance, I would say that. But still, I do find it nice to sometimes hear the stories of reverts...maybe not in the same way a born Muslim might.

[BACK2MYROOTS]

I find them totally fascinating and I am deeply disappointed that so many so-called born Muslims are ... let's say cold towards them. That really breaks my heart. I don't give a toss if anyone accuses me of being 'sentimental' about it. Please, don't start me on that.
