Unhealthy Censorship?

Dear Bro, I think neither of the two cases can be applied to the threads that I referred in my last post that were locked out. It was hardly any dialog, what to call debate had yet started in them. Just for an example "Is God an Absolute Unity " where the only reply given was simply an agreement by bro AK. More so, I don't see any citations by the moderators for locking it out.

Then how will people know abuot Islam, if we dont let them ask questions?

Assalamu Alaikum!

Brother AhmadJoyia,

No offense intended, could you please elaborate the difference between dialogue and debate, if any?

Peace

Dear Athanasius,

Please with all do respect, donot put any muslims in one category. Look, everyone has different views and thoughts about how life is. We are very intellectial and do take critiscism as long as you respect our religion. We will respect what you say as long as you respect us. Look, what you told Brother Ahmad was not very kind. My mother was a Christian when she married my muslim father. After 18 years of marriage, she converted on her own free will. And you know what? During those years of finding the truth, she respected my father's opinion and he respected what she had to say. (She was a Presbytarian, then Babtists, and finally she became muslim) So, how can you say that all muslims are not intelligent and donot accept criticism. One way for Muslims to even know that Islam is the truth, is by asking questions about there religion and others. One more thing when you said " We believe in freedom of thought and expression - something that censorship does not allow." Not all Christians are that way either. So please, don't put anybody in one category. Thanks.
