Music is clearly haram:
Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 7, Book 69, hadith #494v:
Narrated Abu 'Amir (raa) or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari (raa) that he heard the Prophet
(sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) saying, "From among my followers there will be some
people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the...
What do you mean a British north of Ireland? Ireland is Irish. The illegal British presence prevents the Irish people from exercising their sovereignty, it prevents them from achieving their desire of an independent and united Ireland. The British presence is a breech of international law.
But...
People could have said the same about the slave system at one stage. "since everywhere else has slavery then point me a better alternative in existence right now or accept it". If that is your opinion then you can keep it because I think it is very short sighted.
As I said Slavery was once the...
Muslim means to submit and anyone or anything which submits to the will of Allah can therefore said to be Muslim. There is a Hadith which saws that the Sun and Moon are Muslim. Now of course this doesn't mean the sun and moon pray etc but rather that they obey the Laws of God.
When a child is...
Where on earth did I say that? If I did then please link to the post in question. Saying that democracy is un Islamic is not the same as saying you can't live in a democratic country. That would be an illogical position to take for a variety of reasons, not least of all that people can't just...
I am completely aware of that but for some reason a mod moved it out of the Islam section and people started arguing about how great democracy was from a simply secular point of view to which I replied. If they argued on the basis of Islam I would have been happy to reply based on Islam. I...
Where? I stand by what was decreed by Allah and the Messenger(SAW). Islam can't be changed as it was given to us perfect. But yes there are those who are trying to change Islam and indeed they are quite open about it and these people are extremists as I cannot imagine a more extreme thing than...
Well I would disagree with that but even if it is the case that isn't a reason to accept or support something.
Thats why all those people who want free medical care have got it. They spoke and where listened to. Sorry my mistake.
The fact is that they only have a voice in decided which member...
But you are working on the premise that voting will change it which it wont and I am not advocating doing nothing about it as there are other ways to challenge the establishment than through the electoral process, indeed one of the purposes of elections is to fool people into the belief that...
So always agree and obey the establishment as they are always correct. Should the Jews have obeyed the social contract in Nazi Germany or those oppressed in the USSR obeyed theirs? Thats a slavish mentality if ever I heard one.
Democracy is a sham. For example look at the UK where the majority of the people where against the war in Iraq yet the British went in anyway. Now if it was really a democracy then the will of the people would be obeyed. But all major decisions are taken by and amongst the ruling class. In the...

The Muslim community in the US is busy with the vote and are debating who the Muslims should pick as their president. The argument presented is we are choosing between the lesser of the two evils. In reality it is more about being...
Do those who disbelieve not see that the heavens and the earth were sewn together and then We unstitched them and that We made from water every living thing? So will they not believe? (Qur'an, 21:30)
When Islam was in its infancy and its few members where being oppressed and when being a Muslim meant hardship and suffering, the leaders of the Quraysh came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and offered to give him countless riches and kingship over them if he recognised their Gods.
Now if...
Yes I think we are in agreement on most issues. Could you clarify this however:
Are you saying that in a Muslim majority country that Muslims should be given a vote on this? If that is what you are saying then I disagree as that is in effect still giving them sovereignty and you also have a...
