Second Look on Islam

[Gwynhuever]

---

@malic...i shared last time about my curiosity about sufism...kay nahan man gud kaayo ko sa works ni Rumi...are you familiar with them? If not try lang ug google bro and let me know what you think....anyway below is a short description of Rumi for those nga interested taken from Rumi — Poet Seers

Jalalud'din Rumi


Jalalud'din Rumi is one of the world’s most revered mystical poets. During his lifetime he produced a prolific range of inspiring and devotional poetry which encapsulates the sufi's experience of union with the divine. These timeless classics have enjoyed a renaissance in recent years, as Rumi has become one of our most popular poets. Although Rumi was a Sufi and a great scholar of the Qu’ran his appeal reaches across religious and social divisions. Even during his lifetime he was noted for his cosmopolitan outlook. His funeral, which lasted 40 days, was attended by Muslims, Jews, Persians, Christians and Greeks.

i respect islam.

just the practices, oppressed woman rights.

that's why women in mid east are revolting.

soon they will know that "Only them, themselves can free their mind.."

parehas ta bro...di ko nahan sa ila treatment sa women sad oi....maybe not in all places pero grabe jud sa middle east diba...

i used to have this impression on islam....but one of my muslim friends kinda said "that is not islam, that is arab" with regards to some practices commonly equated with islam...

coz if you look at other islam influenced places, such as malaysia...di naman pervalent sa kanila yung suppression regarding women's rights.

hi guys, i've always been interested in this religion, murag discriminated kayu sila. which is depressing.. i have this friend online and she is a muslim and we discuss things from world politics to religion and culture, and they sure take a conservative role in the world community. since i've been looking for a copy of the koran for a long time now, she recommended the one with aj arberry's translation. do you guys know where i could find one? i searched national bookstore online and powerbooks and fullybooked. wala man silay koran. can anyone help me with this? kay kung wala gali gyud diri philippines, magtugon lang ko sa akong cousin-in-law. im just on the down low kay i live in a catholic household and you know what entails haha

@munzter...bitaw bro...bali sad ko...i used to have a very open mind about islam kay malagot ko sa uban nga diretso lang ug generalize nga violent ang muslims etc etc....then i was able to read the biography of Carmen Bin Ladin (sis in law ni Obama) ...life inside the kingdom (saudi arabia) of a woman...pag ka pait bro oi....but then again you have a point sa arab sects lang siguro ni...

@tambuk...ola..musta? let me know if di ka kita and if you want me to bring you a copy...pauli ko diha sa ato sa first week sa december puhon....i-PM lang ang title / version nga sakto jud kay ako i-order sa amazon for you

i didn't misinterpret mr hart, he said it clearly, muhamad is the most influential for how many people can you find who are willing to strapped bombs and die as martyrs for muhamad's alter ego named allah. count the many suicide bombers and those who crashed planes in the name of muhamad's allah.

Diha nimo makit-an pre how strong the Islamic faith REALLY is. A very fine example of selfless faith. Whether Islam is good or bad or the extremists follow a misguided doctrine it really shows how virtually fool proof Islam really is that people are willing to grit their teeth for it.

Ang Christianity? Kusog mangisog. Kusog manghasi. Kusog mangita ug bikil. Manghabog sa ginoo nila na isog pud. Pero pakit-a ug kutsilyo; han-i ug pusil. Diba mangluspad? True, 60% of the world population probably belongs to Christian religions but 90% of those followers are hypocrites. Maayo ra mangisog kung daghan. Pero kung usa ra mamayot man diay.


Imagine a suicide bomber that could literally be torn apart by a rival religion if he gets caught and yet he selflessly walks in a crowded room of "infidels" and blows the rest of the crowd to hell and him to heaven. How many christians does it take to do that? And don't tell me wala because the number of Christian Hate Groups are overwhelming and yet none of these do something as bold as that. Maayo ra mag mass suicide. Pagkawalay dungog anang hinungdana!

I think this saying applies to this situation I just changed the nouns: "Muslims die young. Christians die old but very slowly." This was originally about married men and bachelors. hehehe

Remember that fictional story about a pastor holding a service nya gisudlan ug armado na tao? "Those willing to take a bullet for Christ stay in the room!" and the majority left.

religion must be PRO-LIFE

not hatred driven nor pride

Ma apply ni sa christians bro kung grabe sa ang manipulation and sa pag brainwash. hehehe Some christians naa mass suicide tungod sa influence pero kng gi gamit sad to ang pag influence sa pag suicide bombing pwede sad ta to.

Bilib lang ko sa pag brainwash ani nila sa mga extremist. gi unsa kaha na nila sa. pati ang mga bright and educated au na muslims mo suicide man.

[tokidoki_v2.0]

ang ako ra nahibaw-an giunsa sa al qaeda pag brainwash. it's more on physiological manipulation prior to brainwash.

ibutang daw ka sa desert for how many days without food and water. After that daw, kuhaon ka. At a starved and tired condition you are in a hallucinogenic state. Your mind is VERY receptive daw to suggestion because it is no longer working properly. Diri daw isugod ang brainwash. SO even if maulian ka your mind has already been pre-programmed to do certain tasks unwittingly. So if ingnan ka na blow yourself up you will do it without question.

[v2s13]

kuyawa sad pwede sad dai na. ang ako nakita pag brainwash ka2 rman sa national geopraphic about ni hitler kung gi unsa nya pag brainwash uban tao to fight for him. Mangita lang dai tag gutom na chix ani para ma brainwash na2 hahahaha.
