hi malik, just thought of something.......do u realise with all the attention sprintcyclist is giving to Islam, his actually doing u a favour?

by talking about Islam, even in a negative way, he is developing discussion about Islam with ppl who otherwise would never have heard of it.



Hang about, doesn't this assume ther are people able to use an internet connection, yet who have still not heard of Islam?

I find that concept rather odd.

Islam, like all religions, should be as impactful on our lives as any other fairy story, that is to say not at all.



most people only know that Islam is a religion........but not know the actual details of the religion, such as their main beliefs.

discussions around what muslims actually believe may generate interest and ppl may look into it further.

I agree with you there GSS. I have found out a lot I didn't know about Islam since Malik and Abu joined up.

Pommy, hearing of Islam, and taking an interest in it are not the same thing.

Which is why I questioned the statement;

Perhaps, he could have phrased it a little better but we understood what he meant so we'll forgive him.

Sure, everyone has heard of Islam and Muslim (unless they've just been cryogenically defrosted). However, many infidels have never had any contact with one, let along spend the time to understand the subtleties and nuances of their culture and their interpretation of world events.

It has been an good education (once you've sieved through all the crap) since Malik and Abu joined up.

yeah, that's what i meant.......i didn't literally mean "never heard of Islam", but rather "didn't know much about it".

Thanks for clearing that up Pommy. Who knows what might have happened if it had gone unnoticed....

THere'll be total anarchy! Legal threats! Jihads and crusades! Weapons of mass destruction!

I better clear out of here! Anyhow, it's time for breakfast.

As a wiser man* than me once said; "If I have been of service, if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good, if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action, if I am at peace with myself, it has been a successful day."
