Great Religion, Bad People

by

Islam is a great religion. Some Muslims are misunderstanding what this great religion is all about.

Some people here in Riyadh think they are practicing Islam in the correct way. I think they are extremists. They don’t know that, they know and deny it; I don’t care.

They think you are a true Muslim if you just do things their way. They will tell you to put on a short thobe and grow a long beard, because they think a Muslim should looks this way. What I know is that Islam is about what’s in your heart, and what you believe in. Islam never tells you to judge people by their clothes.

Here in Riyadh, you will be forced to pray, and all shops are forced to close their doors during the prayer time, whether you like it or not, and no matter you are Muslim or not. When prayer time comes, everybody should disappears. What I know, the Holy Quran says the good things are clear, and the bad things are clear, and there is no obligation in this religion.

What harm could occur if shops remain open during prayer time? They think nobody will pray! Can you believe this?! Let me just say a true Muslim would pray no matter what happens.

  2. I have noticed a trend similar to this in America over the past few years. Suddenly disagreeing with the government has become taboo. It has taken on a nasty character of being “un-American” or “un-patriotic”. To that I would say, bullshit! Trying to make America a better place through disagreement can be nothing BUT patriotic.

    People will always take something like religion or patriotism and warp it to meet their own ends. The people that really believe (in thier religion, their ideals, etc.) will always be more worthy of our respect than those that attempt to take something that should be good and twist to their own ends.
