Modern Islam

Genesis...Appreciate your positive thought...It always starts with one man...

"We can expect the simple Arab masses continuity to cling to terrorism, Perhaps out of ignorance or desperation or desire to uphold the psychological source of strength, even if illusory, or perhaps retaliation They know that it will not bring a solution, they originally supported it because they have lost faith in the possibility of a solution, If there is to be death, life is no longer valuable. Arabs at most are responsible for the lives of innocent victims. I’m not saying that the Arabs and Muslims do not condemn terrorism. They do denounce and condemn and reject. Unfortunately, they conclude it with a “but�!

This opens the door to the ideological, political and religious justification. And gives terrorists moral & psychological excuse to lean on, particularly if supported by respected religious symbols"

DR.Abdulhamid Alansari

ROFL

yes that must be it!

he wasnt circumcised :P

Untill recently, local newspapers used to show such absured last page pictures with the same-old, same old "jewish conspiricy" & " god's name missplaced"!

I can't imagine people who buy this!

what's wrong with the little dude doll that pees on you?! i always thought he was funny..

okay THAT i can understand but why the hell would they confiscate a pocahontas badge?! (was it a badge or a plate anyway?) i didn't realize disney cartoons promoted promiscuity?

This is a page of items banned and confiscated by the General Presidency of the Promotion of Virtye and the Prevention of Vices in Saudi Arabia.

It's all in Arabic but click on the pictures.

Barbie is called a Jewish doll.

Try to visit the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Da'wah and Guidance website

Minsitry of Islamic Affairs

You can't!

I know Frank Gardner and respect him.

He's a real good guy who was let down by a region he truly liked and people he admired.

Thing is I like things to come from muslims rather than westerners.

So far the best non-fiction of year.

Written by THE Frank Gardner.

The best you'll ever get for understanding islamic fundamentalism

"It's the price the saudis have to pay, so Al-soud can flourish"

Yup Mahmood and Religious Policeman (who is not blogging currently, unfortunately) are cool. And I don't care whether RP is a fake Saudi or not.

thanks that's better....!!!!!????????

Sorry i couldn't find any good translater tool..

here is the orginl arabic text from his column:

"الارهاب صناعة خليجية بدليل كثرة الشباب الخليجيين المتورطين Ù?يه" بل انه يؤكد انه "حتى غير الخليجيين من المتورطين جاؤوا نتيجة لتصدير هذا الÙ?كر المتشدد".

واعتبر الانصاري الذي تثير تصريحاته الكثير من الجدل ان ما حدث Ùˆ يحدث يعود الى "الخطابات التعليمية والدينية والاعلامية الخليجية التي تحرض الناس على الاخر الغربي باستخدام Ù…Ù?ردات عدوانية". وهو لا يستثني من ذلك قناة الجزيرة التي اتهمها "ببث الطروحات التحريضية عبر استضاÙ?Ø© رموز دينية وايديولوجية متشددة"ØŒ على حد تعبيره.

genesis I assume that your extract was also translated by google because it meant nothing to me.

I think though that he is still blaming the west in the phrase "letters of educational, religious and Gulf media that incite people to the other western items using aggressive" which I have interpreted to mean that the gulf media has incited people to behave in an aggressive western manner.

I may of course be wrong with that interpretation.

excellent..i'm definitely bookmarking this one.

thanks you guys!

If you liked his opinion..you should check out Former dean of islamic department-Qatar university Abdel-Hamid Al-Ansari

here are some of his writing from qatari local news paper alwatan:

"Terrorism is a guide to the many young people in the Gulf Gulfides involved "but stresses that" even from the Gulf of those involved came as a result of the export of this extremist ideology. " He said Ansari, who raise a lot of controversial statements, what has happened and is happening is due to the "letters of educational, religious and Gulf media that incite people to the other western items using aggressive." It does not exclude that channel from the island accused of "disseminating inflammatory bids to host cross-religious symbols and ideological hardline" his words.

here is a link to a column he wrote " Jihad or terrorism? How distorted the "outsiders" new concept of Islamic Jihad"
