Classified Posted October 20, 2013 One last question Safferz, what do you think of Irshad Manji? Also, is it okay in Islam (be it religiously or in Islamic Shariah) to be a homosexual/lesbian? Have in mind that Irshad Manji advocates for a total reform/overhaul in Islam/Quran, so to speak. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Classified Posted October 20, 2013 ^ WTF! *Jaw dropped* So, is it safe to say that Safferz is not a Muslim? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Classified also conflates behaviour (what Islam and religions in general try to regulate) with feelings, desires, thoughts, etc. He seems the type to tell a gay Muslim not to bother praying, because "you can't be gay and Muslim," but wouldn't say that to his friend with a girlfriend, or a Muslim who drinks and parties. And I can't stand Irshad Manji. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oiler Posted October 20, 2013 This debate is not going anywhere, people lie about the religion all the time, and introduce innovations. Remember God causes whomsoever He wills to stray in error, and sets whomsoever He wills on the straight way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just shining light amongst the individuals within us claiming to be Muslim, like the likes of Irshad Manji and her "crusaders of reform". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe if you spent more time reading and thinking about Islam's rich intellectual history and browsed various fiqh rulings, you'd know anything I've said in this thread - that some issues are not black and white, and Islamic scholars debate these questions - pales in comparison to you and Classified's takfir, which is explicitly haram.

I didn't make any takfir. Just asked a question regarding your authenticity in claiming to be a Muslim; "Is it safe to say that Safferz is not a Muslim?".

What's the difference between calling someone gaalo and questioning their "authenticity in claiming to be a Muslim"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By "follow", he meant the scholars that you accept. And, by "accept", he meant their teachings. By "teachings", he meant their approach to Islamic jurisprudence which should be in line with mainstream Islam. So, who are they? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
