Not lying, but profiling. There's a difference.
Not when you say HE IS a Protestant. Thats not profiling. Thats a statement of fact, with the implication that you have some evidence to back it up.

So is saying these guys are Muslims, simply because the woman said she is Muslim. Should I have said he's a Protestant? No. However being quick to agree that someone is Muslim just because a beating occured by those claiming to be Muslim is equally tasteless.

You should focus on presenting the case that Islam would not stand for such actions than dragging a recent shooting into it for no reason whatsoever.

This is Ramadan, the holiest of months in Islam. This month is supposed to be about reflection on all our past sins, reparing broken relationships, forgiving one another and reconciling with those we have wronged. When you hear about Muslims killing, beating or causing harm to others (Muslim and Non-Muslim alike), they are not keeping in teachings with the Prophet SAW.

Its pretty tasteless to bring up that Ramadan beating story in this thread in the first place.
.
But I dont think its tasteless to take the womans story at face value. Maybe a bit naive.

I have already, numerous times. You cannot change the hearts and minds of those, who have no desire to change or accept truth.

Resorting to underhanded tactics that exploit tragedy builds up the case of those against you. Be the better person in the end.

No underhand tactics; I was stating the "obvious", as seen from those who are prejudiced towards a certain group and have a perceived idea of life and others. It's an idea that we need to be leary of all we read in the media, and become more educated before making assumptions.

You saw how quick people were willing to pounce on me for stating this serial killer is a Protestant, just because he's white and from the suburbs. Now you know what Muslims deal with all the time, when they lump all of us in with Osama and Anwar.

You weren't stating the obvious, you were doing something for shock value. When I read what she posted, I had the impression the attackers had said they were Muslim. Had you pointed out that nowhere in the article does it say that, I would have been enlightened. However, you brought up a recent event where many lost their lives. It wasn't a good move.

Hey, we run the banks and control the world, right?

Brutal honesty, and not looking for shock value. I'm not an attention seeker, I'm a realist.

Do you? I just assumed the US was in the back pocket of Jews:p

You may take the advice or leave it. That is your call.

Well, I'm certainly not in charge of anything.

What if an London Muslim is an olympic athlete? He's not travelling. Does he have to fast for the games?
.

Such a person would have to consult a scholar about their specific situation, but my best guess would be that he should fast. Allaahu a'lam.

Here in the US, I do know a lot of teenagers who play intense football games (and practice) during Ramadan while fasting 15 and 16 hour days.
