I have to agree with Tim here... and I do not see where Ron has said anything that is disrespectful. He is just sharing his opinions, and his beliefs. (note: would it have helped if he had said, 'it is nonsense to me', in his statement?) To not allow this is to deny open discussion and free expression of beliefs... freedom of speech. It is called censorship, whether it is done by others, or is demanded of people to self-censor... (as it is in Iran). People will never be perfect in their speaking. There will always be times when what one person says, may be taken wrong by another. This is why open discussion must be allowed... to clear up misunderstandings. We can not expect people to be perfect in everything that they do, and we should not wish to punish everyone for every mis-step they make. This does not lead to peace and understanding, but only erects barriers to peace and understanding. asalaam and blessings to all, Caringheart Edited by Caringheart - 17 December 2015 at 10:41am |

Greetings abuayisha, I am shocked to hear you say this. Really? Iran - Ayatollah Khamenei What about Syria, Iraq, Egypt? They are all struggling politically, because of theology. asalaam, Caringheart Edited by Caringheart - 18 December 2015 at 9:24am |

If you're looking for a semantic word game kindly look elsewhere. What I object to is a preponderance of nasty and disrespectful behavior targeting Islam from yourself and others. |

I'll let the moderators decide what is civil on this discussion board. I can only suggest that when it comes to religious observances that the other have respect. What you have said about Saudi is not only incorrect, but even if it were, one would think "the rest of the world" would have far greater priorities for their demands. Further, I think one of the problems with secularism is that one only needs to consult ones own mind for what civility is or isn't. Those who have a set of morals and values stemming from theology have a path (sharia) to walk upon, or reference. |

Greetings Tim the plumber, I would ask; Where's the proof for your statements? Undoubtedly though, you believe your statements to be true. Peace and blessings to you, Caringheart |

I'm not sure what you find disrespectful or in violation of the rules here. Is it the word "nonsense" that you find objectionable, or the claim that literalism poses a "serious threat"? Or something else that I'm missing? |

What is civil and what is not is different to all of us. Civility in Saudi Arabia demands that female politicians cannot directly talk to male citizens. Civility in the rest of the world demands that we explain to the Saudis that this is very wrong. Totally uncivil. They don't like people telling them that and demand civility. |
