To the fine people of CBLF, Admittedly I came over here with a bit of a chip on my shoulder because of the statements of one of y'all here. But after I calmed down I started to engage in somethin' of meaningful, (to me anyway), dialogue about our differing faiths. I told you all some of my story and why I feel the way I do regarding hate and homophobia, which has no place at al among men of faith. ANY faith. I even met, of all things on a Christian board, another Muslim brother. I was actually thinking that in a small way it might be a good thing for us to talk. 'Specially since 9/11 and tension between Islam and Chritianity; even if I am actually Nation of Islam, not a traditional nor an Arabic one. But I see I was wrong. I seem to have run into the same intolerance, smugness, and judgmentalism that drove me away from Christianity in the first place. It seems one of your regulars here, ironically the same one who spouts homophobia, has decided that I've been deceived and my faith, which has given me spiritual strength and comfort, was inspired by a demon. Funny, but most all learned theologians would tell you that who we call Allah is actually the same God of Abraham. But not according to the intolerant poster here in question. So I can see there can be no meaningful dialogue. Not with what I was just told. Such intolerance hate I don't need. Whn you're as many different hated minorities wrapped up into one like I am you get discouraged tryin' to be reasonable in the face of it. Thanks a lot Forgiven. You've just shown yo'self to be everythang AIW says you are. To the other people here who I've talked to. Both calmly and otherwise, I say thanks for takin' the time to discuss thangs with me. Bu I can see no further use in stayin' here to discuss things if his one poster not only denigrates the love relationship I have with DC, but also disparages my faith. The Qur'an = "Mein Kampf"? Is that constructive? I feel a huge sense of disappointment. Ma'as-salaama, 'Hiim |
