Re: Cross Marriage

Technically,
Christians and Jews do not have to convert because you are also followers of the book (scriptures) which we believe in.
But that was Islam in its purest, nascent and infant form. Nowadays the situation is different in different communuties/countries.

Re: WHO'S NEXT AFTER BURHANUDDIN DEPARTS

True. Never before in the history of the jamaat has so much money been on the line.
The Dai's are not far behind the fatimid caliphate when it comes to wealth. They are more organised & media savvy than ever before.
If you just think about it for a minute you will realise how much is up for ...

Re: Checkered Mosaic with checkerd past and checkered future

i have been reading the post and frankly i am still sitting on the fence. (and i ask God to help me never take sides)
But due credit must be given to Hur. He has raised a few though provoking points. Points that are very valid.
I agree that democracy cannot work to expand any religion ...

Re: Maatam and importance

Hur,

9/11 will be remembered for quite a few years. trust me. Godhra? I am not sure.
However their impact on history - MOST DEFINITELY!
Afghanistan would probably still be under Taleban, and Iraq under Saddam. BJP would have probably won the election. In Spain there would be no 3/11 and ...

Re: Maatam and importance

Isnt it mentioned in the Quran that you should not cry over anyones death for more than 3 days?

Honouring the memory of those who stand up for the truth makes sense but grieving and causing harm to ones self really need more inspection.
