I have come across this web page.
http://www.sadakat.net/aile/Aile/CC.htm
Since most of the girls here are after Turkish dudus (and they are 99% muslims), I though it might be a good idea and shed some lights to the topics you never thought they might be quite important (I never knew by myself for example) :
(It may contain some graphic details )
First the english bits:
About holding and looking: As far as holding and looking are concerned there is no restriction between husband and wife. (Omer apperantly said to his son that 'according to me it is a good thing because it will give more pleasure during intercourse)
About fantasizing : Some people believe 'a man is imagining another woman during the intercourse with his wife' is not considered as forbidden. But according to Ibn Âbidîn, he said 'it should be considered as forbidden. Because it is like imagining wine when you drink water and it is forbidden then it should be forbidden'
About the creams : as long as they dont contain pork fat, there is no indication that they are forbidden. But it is not a recommended situation. Allah did not forget to create natural moisturizer for it.
About the positions and bed covers: there are no recommendations or forbidden rules for the positions. as long as it is preformed through reproductive organs, man and wife can do whatever they like. Standing up, sitting down, behind, from the front, at the bottom, at the top etc. But they have to cover themselves. It is mentioned in Fetâvây-i Hindiyye that if the room is small (3X6 m2), the husband can take his wifes clothes off. Some philosophers though that there is no problem a man and wife can get undressed in a room together. But this does not mean when they have intercourse, they should be uncovered.
About masturbation: for a man, playing with your hand or with your butts in order to have pleasure, is not considered as halal. Using your hand for satisfaction is forbidden for both men and women. But a man can satisfy himself with his wife's hand or some parts of her body. and satisfying his wife that way is permitted too.
Impotence: If a man has no power for the intercourse after the marriage, he has a year. If end of the year, he still has no power even for once, if his wife wants a divorce, he will be divorced.
Telling others about your bedroom secrets: If there is an absolute necessity, telling your bedroom secrets to other are forbidden.

Turkish bits:
Tutma ve bakma konusunda karrkoca arasinda avret olan bölge yoktur.(Ibn >bidin VI/367) Hz. Ömer'in oglunun; "bana göre birbirinin organlarina bakmalari daha iyidir, çünkü bu cinsel iliskinin tadini artirir," dedigi nakledilir.
Hanimi ile iliskide bulunurken, onu tanidigi güzel bir kadin diye hayâl edip, onunla sevisiyor gibi cima yapmasinin haram olmadigini söyleyenler vardir. Ancak Ibn Âbidîn; bizim kurallarimiza göre bunun helâl olmamasi gerekir, çünkü bu, suyu sarap olarak düsünüp içmeye benzer. Onun haram oldugu açiktir. Öyleyse öbürü de helâl olmamalidir" der. ( Ibn ilbidin VI/372.) Dogru olan da bu olsa gerektir.
Cinsel iliskide kullanilan kremler, ya da yaglandiricilarin, domuz yagi gibi haram madde içermedikten sonra, helâl olmadigini gösteren bir delil yoktur. Ancak bu normal eslere tavsiye edilmeyecek bir durumdur. Allah bu is için tabi nemlendirici yaratmayi ihmal etmemistir.
Cinsel iliskinin yasaklanan, ya da tavsiye edilen bir sekli yoktur. Ne var ki, tabiîlik dinî olan Islam'in, bu konuda da tabiî olani tercih edecegi açiktir. Üreme organindan olmak üzere, kari ile koca hangi tür iliskiden zevk aliyorlarsa onu uygularlar. Ayakta, otururken, yatarken, arkadan, önden, altta, üstte; hangisini isterlerse öyle yaparlar. Ancak üzerlerinin örtülü olmasi Islâmî bir edep ve emirdir." Allah ise utanmaya en lâyik olandir"(Fetâvây-i Hindiyye'de: "Oda küçük olursa (5-1 zira' yani yaklasik(3 x 6 m2) koca böyle bir odada cima maksadiyla karisini soyabilir. Bir kisim ulema kari kocanin bir odada tek baslarina soyunmalarinda mahzur olmadigini söylemislerdir." (Ibn Âbidîn, Kunye'den, V/288). Ama bu, elbette cima ederken açik olabilecekleri anlamina gelmez. Hadîs için bk. Buhârî, ilm 15, edep 68.)
Erkegin, sehvetini uyandirmak ve zevk duymak için, eliyle ya da butlariyla kendi kendini tatmin etmesi helâl görülmemistir.
Erkegin eli vb. seylerle kendini tatmin etmesi caiz olmadigi gibi, kadinin da bu yolla tatmin aramasi câiz degildir. Ancak koca, karisinin eli ile ya da vücudunun diger yerleri ile tatmin olabilecegi gibi, karisini da bu yolla tatmin edebilir. (Serahsî, Mebsût X/159.)
Evlendiginde karisiyla iliskiye güç yetiremeyen erkek bir yil beklenir. Bir yil boyunca da, bir defa olsun, güç yetiremezse, karisi, istemesi halinde ayrilir, erkegi beklemeye zorlanamaz. (Ibn Âbidîn, el-Ukûdü'd-dürriyye I/30.)
Karikocanin, zaruret olmadikça cinsel iliski biçimlerini baskalarina anlatmalari haramdir. Peygamberimiz ((s.a.v.).) : "Süphesiz ki, Kiyâmet Gününde, Allah'in katinda, emanete hiyanetin en büyüklerinden biri, karikoca beraber düsüp-kalktiktan sonra, kocasinin kadinin sirrini yaymasidir" buyurmustur. (Müslim, nikâh 21; Davûdoglu age VN/327 vd.)

It is just any other topic to be honest.
And it is quite ironic as well: in the next thread, people are discussing a guy in afghanistan who downloaded something from the net and shared it with his friends and he is about to be executed for it in the name of islam. And some is criticizing me sharing some content from the net and making fun of islam. Phew!!

Well lets see shall we..some of us are actually English speaking Muslims so would find the text helpful. It is the last sentence that you made which is mostly insulting, not so much what others have said.

The first one? There are literally thousands of threads about different aspects of Turkish culture on this forum if you care to search for them Why do you think this one should be kept private? Is it WRONG to talk about sex? Frankly I think its a lot healthier than the days when nothing was ever talked about - including rape and child abuse.
This was posted mostly for fun - I dont really believe it forms part of mainstream Turkish culture, more Islamic culture
I dont believe anyone would take this thread seriously - after all if Turkish men were such strict muslims, they would not have had sex with the european tourists who visit this site for translations eh? |
i didnt mean its wrong to talk about sex. but for example when you give piece of meat to a baby who is not mature or ready to digest, it would be dangerous for him. as for islam, or other important topics (some may not give that much importance but it is so for a lot of people too)if you start with advanced matters people who are not ready or mature enough to understand the logic there,it may seem silly or senseless. in my message i meant only about islam and such a private and detail part of it, if it was necesarry etc.
only after one submits that there is a God beyond everything, He is Allknowing and orders us with the best, beneficial things to us, then he may understand something about that information. otherwise he does not care about God's authority then ofcourse it wouldnt mean anything and make fun of islam and muslims.
anyway anyone can think in anyway they like yet i recommend to start from the basic not advanced matters.

So you mean that we first should all convert to Islam (start believing in an islamic God) in order to learn more about it?
Japrak, I don't understand what you were trying to say... I think we are ALL grown up enough to participate in an "advanced" conversation about Turkey and its culture.

ok let me say in another way. firstly i am talking about islamic knowledge not about the culture. then i cannot dare to say everyone should believe in God or convert to islam, if i had been interpreted in that way im sorry but i dont think believing in God is only the aspect of Islam but all of the religions.
secondly i mean, if a person wanna understand any subject (ex:maths, physics)he should start from the beginning. an elemantary school student is not able to understand the subjects of university, is he? but he cant say that those information are senseless.
as for islam, if a person wants to understand why people believe in this religion, why do the perform in that way, why people care God that much, firstly he should question what kind of God they are believing. what are the characteristics of Islamic God, is he Allknowing or not, is he the Absolute POwerful or not etc. i think this is the basic of islam that everyone should know IF ONLY THEY WANNA UNDERSTAND the religion, here i dont mean if you wanna understand islam you should convert yourself, this is not true, but i mean if you wanna understand why such rules muslims are under, why do they obey Him, firstly you should think or look from their perspective.learn how they think.
only after doing this preliminary preparation,people can question the rules or other detail pillars.
on the other hand this is not unique to islam, its same in all diciplines, if i wanna know about Judaism or Christianity firstly i search for what kind of God you are believing in than i form my ideas through it.
i wouldnt like to write that much long yet to clearify everything and not to be misunderstood..

Neither religion nor sex are forbidden subjects.
There is always something sick however, when people attempt explaining their religion to others - starting with sex. An effort to explain one's understanding of sex in terms of religion is just as sickening.
Both subjects should be adressed with a certain degree of privacy, delicacy and finesse.

If people here want to quote parts of the Quran, lecture us on having respect for headscarfs, advise us which translations of the Quran to read, throw in references like "allah willing" into posts, give us endless lectures about ramadan, post information about bayram holidays, etc. etc. ....then you have have no right to complain when people discuss other aspects of your religion.

Japrak has a point to start from the basics though
But Japrak, it is surely a misconception to think that people who do not believe, can only treat information in a 'making fun of'-style. I am not a believer in anything called Allah, the Lord, or whatsoever. And the reason I want to learn more about Islam, is NOT because I am seeking for converting, NOR because I want to make fun of a religion at all. I want to learn more, because it will create more understanding why people say what they say, and do what they do. That's all

'hang on I cant see the book now..........'

I know u just wanted to have some fun, it is OK. But this kind of picture is impossible, u know. If they really care about islamic rules on sex, they would already know all the rules b4 marriage. And if they do not care, they would not read the book at the first night of their marriage but do whatever they want
As i said b4, i know ur intention was not to hurt anyone, but, please, when u use religious topics to have fun, just be careful. because some ppl who take the religion seriously may be hurt, and they are already. as we see...

i think im trying to say similar things. i think islam or any religion is only the issue of interest. so there is no need to make that long explanations or trying to inform people. yet a person still wants to introduce his religion i say, the best topic to start is belief in God, nothing else. why he tries to give meat to a baby i say. that was all i tried to say but it goes in different ways. anyway it may be better to stop here for the others sake

10. Any discussion on politics or religion and religious matters is strictly prohibited.
Postings about your religious beliefs; explaining any subject from a religious perspective; trying to influence others with your religious beliefs; getting religion involved in any subject and/or any subjects with religion as the main theme is prohibited. This is a religion - free website where all members should feel comfortable whether they are religious, atheist, agnostic or whatever.
The only exception to this is where someone has raised a question about Turkish culture which cannot be answered without making a reference to religion, for example an explanation about a turkish religious holiday. Anyone answering a question of this nature, must be careful to keep their answer impartial, impersonal and non controversial. Any such responses will be deleted.

I think that banning discussions about politics or religion is virtually impossible on this website. There is a fine line between Turkish culture and religion for a start. There used to be a time when religion was a private thing, but unfortunately it is always in the news (for mostly wrong reaons) and therefore becomes a very interesting topic to debate.
If you are religious, why should any debate worry you. Surely your faith is strong enough to cope with hearing criticism?

Exactly. Why would you want to say "come to the way of God"? Are you trying to convert us? I would never say to you "come to the way of atheism"
I am always respectful to people of any faith face to face (provided they dont try to convert me!). However, if your objection to me is that I write posts because I care that people get killed, stoned, forced into submission, raped and abused in the name of RELIGION, then I make no apologies.

This is very very true. Jews, in fact, make wonderful jokes about themselves!! It is common to hear that muslims are unable to laugh at themselves, and I thought it was just another stereotypical remark, but this site, unfortunately, seems to prove it to be true.
Whether screaming at us in their BLOCK CAPITALS ABOUT HOW DISRESPECTFUL WE ARE, or SHOUTING THEIR NATIONALISTIC SLOGANS (usually accompanied with a few choice swear words and insults, while at the same time never failing to praise Allah) they show us only the side that we see in the media - banner holding, screaming, violent, fundementalist, angry and full of hatred.

you are right that we make such a horrible image of islam before all world since we misunderstood it at the beginning and we are not universal as it is.
i think this problem is mostly historical and what we brought from our past. you know western cultures had got rid of their most precious thing, religion then they experienced renaissance and reform so for new generations its easy to make fun of it and everything related to it. yet eastern cultures are really different in same subject. the east rose with religion, it was in dark age before it and as long as they maintain the religion they improved their living standards. so they cannot stand any insulting attack towards it, i mean the idea of religion doesnt mean same thing to a western and eastern.
yet it may not be an excuse. if we muslims had understood and represent Quran truly or be universal as it is we wouldnt be discussing in that matter now. cause the human being that Quran aims to embody is the most tolerant, merciful, fair one.

i observe things
what i see is when aenigma and elisabeth criticise each other's cultures, countries, and education none of them get offended or complain or cry or use bad words in their defence.
read the subjects why i love uk or why i love us.
when lis is criticised for her religion her reaction is very diverse to the ones of our dear and "peaceful" muslims. why? and then when they (muslims) are out of arguments they suddenly question the website rules, but they completly feel OK when their religion and culture is promoted.
are you then hypocrites or immature big babies who dont know what the discussions are and are completly unable to stand the criticism?

femme I think you misunderstood what I said, which has nothing to do with the original topic of this thread or religion for that matter. I just noticed that yet again someone pointed out that the rules of TLC are not being followed, so what I am saying is that those forum rules, number 10 being the most obvious, are completely superfluous and should simply be deleted.
See, I'm supporting free discussions, not opposing them. We should be able to discuss any topic we'd like because censorship does no good whatsoever.

Quoting japrak:
you are right that we make such a horrible image of islam before all world since we misunderstood it at the beginning and we are not universal as it is.
i think this problem is mostly historical and what we brought from our past. you know western cultures had got rid of their most precious thing, religion then they experienced renaissance and reform so for new generations its easy to make fun of it and everything related to it. yet eastern cultures are really different in same subject. the east rose with religion, it was in dark age before it and as long as they maintain the religion they improved their living standards. so they cannot stand any insulting attack towards it, i mean the idea of religion doesnt mean same thing to a western and eastern.
yet it may not be an excuse. if we muslims had understood and represent Quran truly or be universal as it is we wouldnt be discussing in that matter now. cause the human being that Quran aims to embody is the most tolerant, merciful, fair one. |
I am not completely agree what you are saying above actually.
the difference between the west and the east is not as simple as that. All religions on this earth was a way of grouping people before industralistion. (When the time the main way of living was kind of farming etc.)
The real difference here is that who has industrilised or NOT. Unfortunately the west has industrilised and not the east..The east is catching up.
So the moral of the story is that with the industralision the religion is bound to get weaker. That is what is happening in the west. And that is what is not happening in the east.
That is what will happen to the eastern cultures with the time.

Actually, there's no such thing as "one, true islam/christianity...whatever". Both of these religions have so many sects and interpretations and "schools of thought" that it's almost impossible to count. And they all think that they are "the one true islam/christianity..". There's no clear point of reference as there is in science. It would just be really good if they commonly adopted a more progressive and humane interpretation.
Therefore, those terrorists simply use religion as a political tool, mainly because it's SUCH AN EASY easy way to convince and manipulate maaassesss of people. Especially that lots of people in the middle east are not very educated and already live in religious dicatorships with no or little room for free, independent thought.

You are right on target! Many, if not all, terrorist organizations take poor, uneducated people with no hope of a decent future in and basically brainwash them into thinking that "the west is evil", "infidels must be killed", "if you blow yourself up and take as many 'enemies' with you as possible you will go to heaven and all great things are waiting for you there" and they will twist religion in the way it suits them. Now that is selective thinking. It's such an easy way to brainwash people because they have no chance of seeing the big picture as they don't have access to information, so they just eat up whatever propaganda is being fed to them.

How does "he" know that the west ridicules his religion if he's living in a country where he has very limited access to information and news, while the information that he does get is selected and twisted?
The way I described is exactly how terrorist organizations recruit naive victims.
Hereby not saying that "the west" is without any guilt, it's not all black and white of course. Sure I also feel some resentment towards the character of the typical "westener" hating on muslims, but that does not drive people to acts of terrorism.

Those people who end up being suicide bombers etc. were probably regular people in the first place but due to circumstances and brainwashing they become completely different people in time. No sane person would blow up themselves (or take other people with them).

simple answer we respect our religion |
You can respect your religion, and still find humourous things about it. I have a feeling that you probably do - but would never dare to share your jokes because you want to present a good public face to other people.
It is counterproductive - we would respect your religion more if you saw humour in yourselves, the way everyone else does. |
Actually,no we dont !
We dont make jokes about our religion even between eachothers because we respect it
When you believe in something and respect it you dont make jokes about it.
Even when bad things happened,we accept it as fate,as test,and we dont blame ALLAH for it
So,as japrak has pointed out the way West and east deal with religion is way much different!
That is why you 'West'cant understand why we 'East' get offended when the discussion in religions regarding İslam reach certain limit .
We have great deal of respect to what we believe!
Same as we too,we dont get it when 'West' make jokes with religion 'Christianity'
We dont get it and we dont accept it,so you dont find Muslim make joke of it tho...but,all to his ways,and its THEİR religion!

''HEY,that is GOD,HE is YOUR creator SHOW some respect,you respect your Mom and Dad for giving birth to you,dont you respect the one who MADE you,and MADE your parents too ?!!!''

With all due respect to what you believe Canli, but what you are saying is kind of approval of what femme said in the first place about muslims are easily offended about the jokes. And it is also KIND OF approval of condemming salman rushdi, danish cartoons etc..
But cant you see that these ideas were always common in the west? The only difference is the internet age and the information traveling so fast. so that some cartoons are printed, guys in pakistans sees the following day..(and somehow, tragically, some of them get killed in demonstrations )
Since, we know that there is freedom of expression, and also we know that there are people thinking those things about islam.
Why dont you want to hear them? why is always people sent after those people responsible? (many people sent after s rushdi, they are trying to kill those danish cartonists, in Turkey, they burnt more than 30 intellects alive in sivas madimak-because aziz nesin published s rushdi's book )
About beliving in something and not making jokes about it: Sorry but, you are wrong and how come can you speak of all islamic people? there are many many jokes about mohammed and religion in turkish language. I can give some examples if you like..
About not questioning the bad things and simply call it faith is another thing I will disagree. I really believe that it is the part of reason why all the muslim countries are not developed!! Leaving everything to Allah kind of blocks the search for what is going wrong..
I think in this forum, we talked about REFORM in islam. What is acceptable as a joke, what is freedom of speach, what is really insulting or couple of infidels' cartoons can harm The Creater. They should all be in this reform package.
Islam should have a milder face. And not accepting any critisism or jokes is not doing any good to islam..
It is partly why in the world, christianty is expanding more than islam!!
I really think muslims should be more relaxed about these issues.

Those people who end up being suicide bombers etc. were probably regular people in the first place but due to circumstances and brainwashing they become completely different people in time. No sane person would blow up themselves (or take other people with them).
That is reality.

İ agree with you azade,no sane person would blow up himself.
Let me tell you what i've been told about suicide bombers from a Palestinian friend back at school
Family live in poverty,a mother,son,2 daughters,and some small kids
Father not there,because he's died,uncle not there for same reason.
the boy taking the responsibility to support his family,and protect it...he is the man of the family now!
He want to study to have a better future he and his sisters,and want to work at same time to support his family.
The boy accepted his fate,and try to go to school to study,but he couldnt...all schools closed or destroyed...
He wanted to work to bring food to his Mom and small ones...he also couldnt,because all roads are locked and there is no work opportunities for him !
He wanted to take care of his family...but he cant also,soldiers are coming and they will arrest him,will rape his sisters,if not,will take them to jail to be raiped there !
He wanted to defend them,to defend his sisters and mother...but he has no weapon !
He only has himself...
Would he stand still and watch it ?!he thinks.
Or would he kill himself trying to defend them so he wont be able to watch it ?!
He may kill innocent people in his way of killing the soldiers ? he still thinking
But aren't his mother and sisters,and those small ones innocent too ?
Wasnt he innocent when his father died and he had to carry the family responsibility which he failed to do too ?!
All he dreamed off is to live like other people live,the people which he watch in TV,they live in safety,go to school,and ACTUALLY live to go to UNİ...
He wanted that too..
But...
So,he just choose to be selfish,and to bomb himself,so he wont witness what will going to happen to his family!
İf this brainwashed,then yes...they get brainwashed!

This man was a 30 year old teaching assistant, who was a loving family man, was married with a child, and had a very comfortable life, living in the UK with more rights than he would ever have in his own country. All his family are astonished that he would ever do such a thing.
Now please tell me how this man felt he had lost dignity or self worth? This is not a suicide. This is a terrorist attack in the name of extremist muslims with the promise of eternal paradise for the bomber.

I really believe it is very much related to that. West paid the industrialisation dearly. did you know that app 150 years ago, 1/3 of women in London were prostitutes? but east did not..it is trying to catch up..
And that experience moved the religion back in their priorities. Nobody gives a thing in the west what you believe or what you say about the religion. That is the reason why 35% of uk population dont believe in any religion!!..very small number of people go to the curches!!
it is not the case because west has lost its moral values. It is simply they dont care..They passed that stage!!

......You know handsome, you have some points. I have heard a lot of hoca jokes, Nasruddin jokes, but the disrespect and the in your face type of things that have been going on are not just naive jokes, but more of provocations. That is quite different.
It seems there are, unfortunately, many uneducated Muslims in the world that have been propagandized and indoctrinated by the very narrow Wahabbis. (who have been able to do so with their petrol wealth) Such disrespect is not at all productive to calming emotions and promoting tolerance.
I have a Jewish friend who gets very upset about the casual use of the work God....if you notice Jews write it like this G-d in order not to take the name in vain. I know more than a few Christians who get very offended by disrespect to their saints and Holy Family.
The difference is the Islamic world is now in a compromised state, thus the reaction is different. Certainly throughout history we have seen a different story.
The issue, to me, is one more of the wisdom of such provocation. If one wants to really have communication, one does not insult and provoke the one who they want to communicate with.

With all respect to PKK terrorists themselves, I do not think that their leaders have the experience, skill or expertise to run a guerilla war against the Turkish Army.
This operation needs knowledge and experience in strategy, lojistics, financing, purchasing, recruitment, medical, indoctrination, training, planning, communications, transportation etc.(I am not even mentioning the drug running side, which requires a specialised expertise of its own) which will need graduates of at least West Point or an equivalent military school.

Since, we know that there is freedom of expression, and also we know that there are people thinking those things about islam.
Why dont you want to hear them? why is always people sent after those people responsible? (many people sent after s rushdi, they are trying to kill those danish cartonists, in Turkey, they burnt more than 30 intellects alive in sivas madimak-because aziz nesin published s rushdi's book )
About beliving in something and not making jokes about it: Sorry but, you are wrong and how come can you speak of all islamic people? there are many many jokes about mohammed and religion in turkish language. I can give some examples if you like..
About not questioning the bad things and simply call it faith is another thing I will disagree. I really believe that it is the part of reason why all the muslim countries are not developed!! Leaving everything to Allah kind of blocks the search for what is going wrong..
I think in this forum, we talked about REFORM in islam. What is acceptable as a joke, what is freedom of speach, what is really insulting or couple of infidels' cartoons can harm The Creater. They should all be in this reform package.
Islam should have a milder face. And not accepting any critisism or jokes is not doing any good to islam..
It is partly why in the world, christianty is expanding more than islam!!
I really think muslims should be more relaxed about these issues.
|
With all due respect handsom,there is much difference between critisism and jokes !
İ accept critisism,but i do not accept jokes !
Joking is making fun about you believe,how can you believe in something dont worth your respect ?!
İ dont care if those idea is common in the West or not,we have our ideas about Christianity too,but you do NOT see it in cartoons!
There should be mutual respect between religions,and of coure between people too
that is 1,2 relatioships between others ... RESPECT
İts even what our parents teach us too!
As if you are telling me its ok to insult your parents because they insult their parents ?!
Or its ok to allow them to insult your parents,because they insult theirs!
Either ways,it will ALWAYS be wrong to insult parents ,wont it ?!
PS:i dont mean 'you' as 'YOU'
İ dont get your point about development tho !
Who is stopping you ?!
What is this got to do with İslam ?!
İn İslam ALLAH ordered us to learn,to search ...so who is stopping you ?!
And i dont understand what do you mean by REFORM in islam ?!
How can we REFORM what ALLAH sent to us,and what we BELİEVE in, so by this we are Muslims ?!
REFORM islam rules you mean ?
Pick the suitable ones and leave the ones we dont like?!
İ actually dont understand what you mean!
You just cant REFORM a religion,religion is set of rules,you take it as they are,you cant REFORM it unless you are the one who have sent it !
Sure insulting or couple of infidels' cartoons can not harm The Creator.
But they show LACK of respect !
You want Muslims to have cold blood and be cool when they hear insults to THEİR religion,and they should make fun of it too ?
That is how Muslims countries will be developed ?!
Would anyone hear someone insult his parents,and he would make fun of it ?!
As you said,there is Media and İnternet,so they should know this lack of respect will reach us too,and we dont HAVE to accept it too.
So we did what would any SANE person do when hear his insult,we complained,and we STOPPED dealing economically with people who insulted us till we get a proper apology
And i think its our right too,and i agree with that,but sending people after who ever to kill...that i dont agree with,and i dont think its in İslam too,i mean who gave them the right to judge who live and who should die?!
But,how do they deal with their religion is THEİR business,what do they think of our religion is THEİR business too...i accept that
But they showing us respect is our right as we show it to them...dont you think so ?
Btw,you said there is many jokes about mohammed and religion in turkish language.
İm curios about it,so can you pls pm me some of them ?!
Here in Egypt we Muslim and Christians live together,i didnt hear any joke about either Mohamed SAV or Christ too,maybe about İmam,about priests,about Muslims and Christians,but NEVER about prophets,so yes pls send to me.

With all respect to PKK terrorists themselves, I do not think that their leaders have the experience, skill or expertise to run a guerilla war against the Turkish Army.
This operation needs knowledge and experience in strategy, lojistics, financing, purchasing, recruitment, medical, indoctrination, training, planning etc.(I am not even mentioning the drug running side, which requires a specialised expertise of its own) which will need graduates of at least West Point or an equivalent military school.
Believe it, or not ! |
Dont you be so naive either Alpha. You are a victim of your Turkish press if you believe that western governments support the PKK.

We dont make jokes about our religion even between eachothers because we respect it
When you believe in something and respect it you dont make jokes about it.
Even when bad things happened,we accept it as fate,as test,and we dont blame ALLAH for it
So,as japrak has pointed out the way West and east deal with religion is way much different!
That is why you 'West'cant understand why we 'East' get offended when the discussion in religions regarding İslam reach certain limit .
We have great deal of respect to what we believe!
Same as we too,we dont get it when 'West' make jokes with religion 'Christianity'
We dont get it and we dont accept it,so you dont find Muslim make joke of it tho...but,all to his ways,and its THEİR religion!
When someone talk about God as if talking about his friend,fighting with God,making fun of HİM...we dont understand it...
''HEY,that is GOD,HE is YOUR creator SHOW some respect,you respect your Mom and Dad for giving birth to you,dont you respect the one who MADE you,and MADE your parents too ?!!!''

I am sorry but the entire faith 'accepting everything coming from allah and all is known to allah' is not acceptible for me. If everybody in the world thought years ago that dying from some disese was allah's decision and did not search for cure, most of us would not be alive today!!

I never said that actually..if I said, I was misunderstood.
it is not cold blood I want..
Islam is in crisis..It needs to change somehow..It cant continue sending this negative image to the world as a religion, whose believers cant accept any criticism at all.
Islam needs to soften its image..
And insisting that 'oh but they are making fun of our prophet and our belief so I will try to stop them' is not helping!!

If I am really thinking that I want to live with my neighbour, I will never think to kill them and all their kins etc...
There are still things in turkey need to change..
Unfortunately!! |
Read my god damn post first for god's sake...then request someone to explain it to you before you mumble anything !
My post is not about Turks and Kurds...It is about PKK terrorists.
|
Well
I was mumbling about this 'shooting terrorist things'
See, what is happening is in Turkey right now:
-we have terrorists..: fine..
-the solution..: we will go and finish them (as usual)..
-then some one says 'i went and killed 20 of them', everybody says 'BRAVO'
-then some one says 'I went there and killed 50 of them', of course, getting more cheers..or you have to say bravo twice..
I think something is not right there!!!
We have to think:
did 'killing 50 people instead of 20' bring us what we want?
What do we want: trying to find ways of living together..
YES?
So
Is those killings make our objective closer or far away?
I am sure they take us far way from our objective..
It was always the case ..from the begining!!

On the contrary, I have a certain respect for PKK supporters fighting on the mountains. That does not stop me from disliking them, since I believe any kind of terrorist should be shot at sight, including Arab suicide bombers. It is the faceless, nameless cowards who keep barking at Turkia, from within the safety granted to them by Turkia - that I despise.

I have been trying to avoid this but..
This is the WRONG way of thinking.
We have an unfortunate culture in turkey.
when somebody says 'Solution', people understand that 'hitting harder' (in the context of kurdish problem) or when somebody says compromise, people think 'it is something not for a -man like- us'.

some good points Handsom and they could be applied to many situations in the world today.
In another thread, some days ago, I talked about a continuum, with black and white being the two ends. What is needed is a little more grey. Mediation is the only way but opposing ends of the continuum have to understand the grey, open their minds, be less intransigent, less blinkered. Neither end of the continuum will achieve anything positive otherwise.
The world urgenyly needs some talented mediators. Mediators who can be trusted. Mediators who can stay neutral. Mediators who don't have a hidden agenda. Dialogue is so important.
This is an extremely tall order given today's ever shrinking world.
btw thanks Handsom and Canli for the well mannered discussion. Need a job? There's mediation work galore, no strings attached he he he

alameda,
please dont tell us fairy tales
the golden age and scientists you were talking about indeed took place in the history but thanks to the persians.
persians before they were converted to islam by force were the most knowledgable people on the earth, thanks to their ancient empire during and after they developed their science through zoroostrianism, UNTIL all of them were consumated by islam and flushed into the toilet.
from now on they never produced great minds like ibn sina nor al-farabi thanks to a barbaric belief that came from the sands of arabia.

Islam should have a milder face. And not accepting any critisism or jokes is not doing any good to islam..
It is partly why in the world, christianty is expanding more than islam!!
I really think muslims should be more relaxed about these issues.

1. how do you see the reform of islam? cross off the violent verses? or re-change the verses full of unjustice, sex, wars and afterlife orgies?
i often hear about reform, but can you give me at least an example?
2. christianity doesnt expand as it did in the past, its actually dying.

You guys definitely do not understand what you read, or do not know what you are talking about.
How many times does it have to be repeated for you to understand Turkia's problem is not with her Kurdish citizens, but with PKK terrorist organization.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that PKK is not purely a Kurdish act either; there are different groups in PKK itself, some of which have goals not overlapping with aims of Kurdish PKK symphatisers.
Terrorists were cleaned before and will be cleaned again, as a matter of principle. I have no desire for a peaceful co existence with any terrorists - be it of Kurdish, Armenian, Turkish or Japanese ethnic origin.

AEnigma and FF have their big shovel and their huge cement mixer but rarely build anything sound. People need hard hats and steel toe capped boots when entering their buildings. I came to this site with bare feet. I made one huge mistake, I lectured someone on their methods . . . not their views, their methods. The scene has been set ever since and it hasn't got anyone anywhere. I hold my hand up and share the blame for this. I ended up wearing a hard hat and using the boots too. It's not a nice thing to admit to but there it is.
I'm leaving bare foot. Without the boots it's easier to tread the right path because one's feet can feel every stone, every thorn, every patch of good soft earth. It's called consciousness.
I've met a lot of great people on this site and not had the pleasure of meeting a great many others whose posts I have enjoyed. I leave the site a richer person. I realise some will be sticking their fingers down their throats as they read this but that's their problem, not mine.

Come on Peace Train, it's true that this site has evolved into something quite hostile. But not all of us are like that. I do believe that most of us actually are here in order to learn something without bazaar-like attitude or to exchange ideas without using gutter arguments.

Then we said, they are just simple bandits.
then, later on, we acknowledged that 'yes, there are kurds in our country'.
And at some stage, when somebody said the phrase 'political solution', we labeled them as 'traitors'
we put the kurdish MPs in jail at some stage.
But now, even some of the top generals except that this is not a simple bandit problem and there should be 'political solution' too.

What is needed is more education. The problem now is one of how things are interpreted. For instance the whole veil thing from what There is an ayat in the Quran saying roughly saying the believing woman should draw her outer garment over herself. Some interpret this and put the woman in a tent, others cover the head and face, some just the head others think it means to dress modestly.
Also, it is not a lot of Azade's marrying Muslim men that account for the growth in Islam. Certainly Michael Wolfe,Cat Stevens aka Yousef Islam, Roger Garaudy, Martin Lings Aminah Assilmi did not convert to please a dudu...

Apparently islam is fast growing in the USA, but as for the reasons I haven't really checked that out.
Of the many reverts I know in Denmark I'd say 90-95% of them converted without the influence of others (eg. muslim men ), because most of them don't even know any muslim men and are single. Most of those who are married say that they are more devoted to religion than their men.
In islam it's also a sin to convert with the wrong intention, i.e. not because of genuine faith.

The most dangerous people are those with nothing left to loose....or those who feel they have lost their dignity, self worth. |
This man was a 30 year old teaching assistant, who was a loving family man, was married with a child, and had a very comfortable life, living in the UK with more rights than he would ever have in his own country. All his family are astonished that he would ever do such a thing.
Now please tell me how this man felt he had lost dignity or self worth? This is not a suicide. This is a terrorist attack in the name of extremist muslims with the promise of eternal paradise for the bomber. |
how about this man? was he living in a poverty getting 1600L benefits from the gov?

What is needed is more education. The problem now is one of how things are interpreted. For instance the whole veil thing from what There is an ayat in the Quran saying roughly saying the believing woman should draw her outer garment over herself. Some interpret this and put the woman in a tent, others cover the head and face, some just the head others think it means to dress modestly.
Also, it is not a lot of Azade's marrying Muslim men that account for the growth in Islam. Certainly Michael Wolfe,Cat Stevens aka Yousef Islam, Roger Garaudy, Martin Lings Aminah Assilmi |
so i was right
and hoandsome is wrong
islam is the fastest growing islam thanks to dudus and azades, alamedas and peace trains!

Dont be so sure of yourself femme..
I remember reading it in bbc or theindependent. I just could not find the article. As soon as I find I will let you know. Islam is not the fastest growing religion I am afraid!!
Alameda..
I dont think the education is the biggest problem in Islam..
There are specific references to hand chopping for example; there is clear indication that women and men are not treated equally..
How can you sort these type of problems?
well..you cant.
But we also know that many things in Quran , including above examples, are outdated for the time we are living in..
Dont you agree?

I still think it's related to education, which leads to greater understanding. For instance where does it actually say in the Quran that one's hand should be litteraly cut off, or one should be stoned to death for adultery?
I believe this is something that came later. Also, could it not be that it means stopping access to the ability to steal? If one reads the Hadiths, one can see there was a great deal of compassion from the Prophet (saw) in dealing with these issues.

Quoting azade: Possibly it's for women from cultures where they were not treated well. There's relatively many iranians in the USA, right? |
There are a lot of refugees from Muslim areas, like Afhganistan, Iran, Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Somalia, Tatar Crimean Turks and others. It's amazing to see the struggles they go through as the different generations pass time here. Even the ones who are first generation, but were children when they arrived go through radical changes. It's actually painful to be a witness to their cultural turmoil.
I was working with a youth group where there were some refugees dressed in very modern hip hop garments, but their parents still wore the traditional cloths.
I have some Afghani friends who I visit from time to time. Their son listens to Hip Hop music, dresses in baggy cloths. Downstairs the mother sits on the floor making traditional food. The older sons have Western girlfriends, one daughter married an "American", much to the father and mothers shame. Little by little they learn to accept, but it is a painful process.

OK, Femme....very good....you were able to find some verses to support your clain, however neglected to include the lines immediately following...

I am not a liar. Have you read Dr Riffat Hassan's work?
My question is: does that mean that we should literally cut someones hands off, or could it be to cut off has the possibility of another interpretation? If Yunus Emre, Mawlānā Jalāl-ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī (who was a judge), do you think their interpretation was as narrow as the one you are telling me?
As for Abu Huraira, his isnad is weak to say the least. One should use logic, among other things to determine the meaning of things. Would the physical cutting of a hand off be of any benefit to society? Would that not then make the person a burden on society?

Alameda, first you say there are no such verses, then when Femme produces them, you say "does it mean they should be taken literally?".
Actually they ARE taking literally! Only this week in a debate about Sharia Law in the UK, Islamic representatives were saying that these laws were "good deterents" and should be practised throughout the UK!!!!
Who should we believe? YOU? Or Islamic politicans and representatives in the UK?

good trick, alameda, but lets use a logic here. in practice, if you admit the crime (even if you repent) you are due to a punishment. otherwise there would be no thief with all limbs. you are caught on crime, you admit, your hand gets chopped off, not only.
alameda, do you wanna watch videos, how the hands were chopped off? i can give you a link. according to hadiths, the prophet himself did such violent acts.

Handsome....there are a number of criteria that should be considered. In an Islamic society there is social communal responsibility.
What was the reason for the theft, were the person's needs being taken care of. It really is a huge subject and one not appropriate for this forum. I am not an Islamic scholar and do not want to get into a legalistic debate. What I am trying to bring out is that it is not a simple matter as some would like to make out.
Also, of course, you know there are many different schools of thought. Some very great Muslim scholars have been acused of heresy, such as:
Ibn Arabi
"A number of prominent Sunni Muslim scholars, including Dhahabi, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani,[5] and Ibn Taymiyyah, did not consider Ibn Arabi to even be a Muslim.[6] Reasons for Ibn Arabi being branded a heretic were some of his statements in his books such as "Fusoos Al-Hikam" and "Al-Ahkaam". One example is where Ibn Arabi claimed that Pharaoh was correct when he said "I am your lord most high."
