here we go again.
blaming a silly infidel for misunderstanding what muslims do in a muslim country while citing the koran.
maybe it is different if i speak arabic or swahili or ancient greek fluently.
Nah, not to this girl. or the last one or the next one.
infidel?!
do you think I'm muslim?!
I didn't say you were misunderstanding what you they were doing- but that you are confusing islam with the actions of muslims
an analogy- we could go with christians and christianity- the two do not always correlate, right? even if they are quoting the bible?
I am not trying to deflect away from islam in saying this- but rather trying to provide an a comparison point to shed some light
what were these muslims quoting from the quran btw? they mustn't have been quoting the part that says no woman is to be punished for rape- do you see what I mean?
if Islam forbids such an action- then muslims perform the forbidden act- is this a reflection of islam? or of the fallibility of humans?
Islam forbids drinking- if a muslim drinks is this a reflection of Islam?
Islam forbids sex before marriage- if a muslim has sex before marriage is this a reflection of Islam?
or do these things go against the teachings of Islam?
again- if you want to damn the actions of these muslims- go for gold. but the distinction between islam and muslims is an important one
