Qur'an has no versions,it is one and the last revelation of Allah,there are many scientific facts mentioned in Qur'an 1400 years ago  ,which scientists today are discovering,example in Surah Al Furqaan ch 25 v 61-the moon has no light of its own,it reflects the light of sun,this fact was discovered by scientists many years after revelation of Qur'an,science has not developed yet to understand Quran

I don't agree with the speaker. True, there are many extremists in the Feminist movement, that take things too far but that doesn't mean we should undermine the movement itself. Feminism has achieved a lot for women in the western world, and it gets a bad rap in the media. Just because PETA is loco doesn't mean all Animal Right groups or movements are bad. Feminism started off with the objective that women should have similar legal rights as men. What's wrong with that notion? I feel that nowadays the term Feminism has taken a negative connotation.

I think that Feminism basically talks about equal rights and the 'female choice' which is pat of Muslim values and Islam.

Many feminists raise valid points and are doing good. For example, this video:

I really enjoy Feminist Freuency's videos. I agree with 80% of their views. My husband loves video-games, and he agreed that there is un-necessary sexualisation of female characters in video games.

Hi Matt. Yes I would agree with you Alhambra is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
But when you say taken by force it gives the impression huge armies came over and killed and pillaged and forcefully converted people which if you take a logical look at history simply isn't true. In fact there was one major battle and the rest of the country was taken relatively peacefully. When a city would fall the terms of surrender were so just and fair that the other cities would pretty much open the gates. An original of one of the peace treaties still exists in which the Christian governor is even allowed to remain There were some skirmishes and small battles but nothing major.
It was a divided land of rival kingdoms and principalities when the Muslims arrived, it never existed as one single entity until 17th/18th century.
In fact it was the Christian King Julian of Ceuta who asked the Muslim governor of Africa to help him take revenge against King Roderick who had raped Julians daughter in Toledo. During the battle Julians army switched sides and helped the Muslims defeat Roderick.
At the time of the Muslim conquest the Jews were being persecuted, on the verge of being wiped out actually, along with the unitarians and the general population were virtual slaves whereby they owned nothing and had very few freedoms. Its because their situation improved after the Islamic conquest that there was no uprisings or attempts to throw the Muslims out. Remember there were no large numbers of Muslims flocking to Spain it was very few men which came in the initial crossing. Europe was not the place to be at that time. So it was one thing to take the land but then to hold onto it would have been virtually impossible with the small numbers of Muslims. If the local population was not happy with the situation they would have managed to overthrow their 'occupiers' sooner or later.
I think it was Rheinhardt Dozy who said the Islamic conquest of Spain was a force of liberation.

Yes in some ways the local non Muslim population were treated like second class citizens but in relative terms the freedoms and rights given to them were unheard of especially in Europe.
We all know what happened 750 odd years later after fall of Granada in 1492. I would take being a so called second class citizen anytime. ]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 13:37:08 +0000 http://www.IslamiCity.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25408&PID=176131#176131 Current Events : WHY?WHAT IS GUILT OF MUSLIMS IN MYANMAR???? http://www.IslamiCity.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25438&PID=176129#176129 Author: Ron Webb

The media has not been totally silent about the situation in Myanmar/Burma, but I agree that there has not been enough reporting of it.  Myanmar's president, Thein Sein, is in Washington this week to meet with US President Obama. Maybe that will help to give the story more prominence.
 
I'm curious to know why this issue is of such concern to you, whitelion553.  Do you live in Myanmar, or do you know someone who does?

Allah did not split the moon in a literal sense.

There are pros and cons for such a boycott. I support the state of Israel, but I reject the politics of the current Israeli government. I sincerely hope that the Israeli voters choose a more moderate government at the next elections. I can say the same thing for the Gaza strip. We need a moderate government there too. Hamas is a terrorist group.

Yes, twice. Malaga, Seville, Cordoba, Granada. I think the Alhambra is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.

We should not forget that Spain was taken by force and the Muslim rulers treated non-Muslims like second-class citizens. Their system is not a good model for the modern world.

I disagree with many of her messages.

Without the feminism movement, women would still not be able to vote, drive a car, open a bank account, or broadcast a Youtube video like this one.
