Perhaps it is also that they are free to do some of the things that were oppressed in their homeland, some can't even practice their religion properly and now they can being in the west. I do understand what ZamanH is talking about, those who don't keep up with their language and culture can lose it. Yes I know, some will get caught up in the evils of the west ;-) Edited by Angel |

Zaman was not not referring to the scholarly, I don't believe. He may have been referring to those who come here to be educated. They find themselves away from their families and culture. They are exposed quickly to the evils of the West and embrace it because the evils can be invigorating. It is easier to be like those around you. Thus many of the Muslims that are coming over are changing. I have several friends that fit his statement exactly. They have noticably changed since their move to West. Yet they will say how their language and culture is the best of anyone. The West can be a very dangerous place for those ill-prepared to handle it.

Why ZamanH so convinced that "west" is bad for Muslims? Do you have any real example? As we know many good Muslims scholar in the west, Dr. Jamal Badawi, Dr. Muzamil Siddiqui, Dr. Ahmad Sakr, Dr. Hasan Hathout they still good even though already years live in the west, even their kids that educated and grows in the west still good Muslims. And many regular muslims and their families still keep the religion tightly. Edited by semar |

"PAS has used similar arguments one find in these conference/threads, to justify Islam to over-ride existing political and social structure. While, UMNO has questioned PAS version of Islamic State, criticed it as lacking meat for a comprehensive solution to a multiracial and multireligious developing nation and small quarters viewed PAS as advocating Arabism, then Islam. " It is interesting that Muslims lose their culture and language in no time, when they settle in the West;whereas, when it comes to uniting (or creating an Islamic state) they come up with complex theories about how much they love their language and culture etc. and how difficult it is for them to create an Islamic state because of that. ZamanH. |

Much of the opposition here to Nationalism was based on the negative aspect of it in teh context of Middle Eastern experiance and literal Quranic interpretation. I am not well versed to quote Quran and Hadith. But I believe the real world and results should be taken in account. =========================================== Topic: As I See ...
