Like I said before. It is anti-dawa.
The dawa posted was full of half truths that misrepresent reality.

If he is honest in saying he respects us then he has to reject the teachings of Islam to do so.How is it anti-dawah to tell someone what he supposedly believes?

Do you really need me to dig up the Christian websites that call Atheists "hopeless idiots", unwed mothers "whoremongers" and gays and lesbians "perverted sodomites"?It is your mosques, in New Jersey and the UK, that post classes on the internet that equate me with a pig as being unclean.
How do these legalistic observances differ from the old Levitical laws for the Jews?If I were to teach my children that after using the bathroom or touching a Muslim they must wash in order to be acceptable to God, then what do you think they will think about Muslims or Islam in general.
Why the need to attack in the first place? I never saw anywhere in the OP where he stated he observed cleanliness laws. I didn't even see a verse that laid out the prescribed manner in which cleanliness laws should be used. None. You were the one who attacked him and assumed that because he is a Muslim that he would have to wash his hands after shaking yours.If he wants to come on and say he unequivocally rejects Islamic cleanliness laws then I will apologize for attacking him and his post.
I only quote what I read from Islamic websites. If you can show me they are wrong then I stand corrected.Seculdulus, who appointed you to be the official spokesperson of my religion?

Does your religion teach that you have to wash after relieving yourself or after having touched an infidel?How do you figure? I can respect a Christian and still believe in my religion. Or does this only apply to Muslims?
It doesn't really matter one way or the other. Quote me Catholic doctrine and we can have a discussion.Do you really need me to dig up the Christian websites that call Atheists "hopeless idiots", unwed mothers "whoremongers" and gays and lesbians "perverted sodomites"?
I am not a Jew so their levitical laws are of historical interest only. The cleanliness laws were abrogated at the Council of Jerusalem by Peter and james.How do these legalistic observances differ from the old Levitical laws for the Jews?
It is Islamic doctrine and is taught over the internet right here in the USA. If he rejects Islamic teachings let him say so and I will apologize.Why the need to attack in the first place?

Knowing that I am a conservative and orthodox Christian, if I were to say that I respected paganism, would you not suspect I was lying?I'll tell you what. If you refused to reject the belief that Wiccans worship Satan by default, does that give me a right to attack you personally?
I agree. I don't quote from anti-Islamic websites. I got it off the website of a mosque in New Jersey, A mosque in the UK, and off the website of the Ayatollah al Sistani.Do you get this information from actual Islamic websites, or do you find this information on websites with names such as "God's Hope for Muslims"? There is a big difference.
Did a mosque in the UK post a powerpoint presentation with a picture of you next to a pig and a roll of toilet paper? No, I thought not. However, they did post a picture of a person labeled K A F F I R next to these items.Uh, if I touch my *muslim* husband, that breaks my wudu, and I must wash again. If my husband touches his *muslim* wife, that breaks his wudu and he must wash again.
In fact, the husband and I were just joking about how we should become hanafis when we're going to bed. It's good to sleep in wudu, but virtually impossible to accomplish if you're a shafi'i, hanbali, maliki or salafi, since a little pre-sleep cuddling throws the wudu right out the window. If we morphed into hanafis when we got into bed, we could do the cuddling and not break our wudu, as they're the only school of thought in sunni islam that doesn't hold that a man touching a woman and vice versa breaks wudu.
First, I'd prefer those sites not get the traffic. Although clips can be found on youtube of a certain Kansas church, should one want to reference those.Do you really need me to dig up the Christian websites that call Atheists "hopeless idiots", unwed mothers "whoremongers" and gays and lesbians "perverted sodomites"?
Yes, although I would like to argue that there's a difference between "respecting" and "embracing." Which the videos and teachings you mentioned are purportedly neither. I haven't seen these videos, hence the "purportedly."Knowing that I am a conservative and orthodox Christian, if I were to say that I respected paganism, would you not suspect I was lying?
A movie about someone achieving metaphysical prowess through ritualized combat. Good thing my irony meter goes to eleven.There can be only one! Highlander
Crude, yes. Childish, yes. Incomplete, yes. Inaccurate, no. I've seen plenty of cruddy power point presentations in my day from people of all faiths. The more clip art, the better!
Just because something breaks ones wudu does not make it a bad thing. My husband certainly isn't bad, and he's responsible for breaking my wudu 9 times out of 10. Using the restroom, passing gas, having one's period, bleeding, touching people, touching animals, falling asleep, these are all natural things. There's no sin in doing them. You just have to wash when you do it.
Oh wait I just realized something, my ex used to wash up before he prayed and I couldn't hug him or anything. After words it was okay, so why was that?

I would also like to point out that there is a difference between respecting a person and respecting what they believe. It is entirely possible to respect a person while at the same time categorically rejecting their religion.Yes, although I would like to argue that there's a difference between "respecting" and "embracing."
Great movie though, don't you think.A movie about someone achieving metaphysical prowess through ritualized combat. Good thing my irony meter goes to eleven.

Fuzzy said:Second, when those sites have been brought up in the past they were either discounted as "an unorthodox group" or presented as "the true word of Gawahd, who doesn't truck with thet thar ecumenism, pluralism, and heresy."
Touche.I would also like to point out that there is a difference between respecting a person and respecting what they believe. It is entirely possible to respect a person while at the same time categorically rejecting their religion.
Yes. Though my VHS copy is getting old and had a lot of red tone bleed to begin with.Great movie though, don't you think.
There are many sites online that are praised by fundamental conservative Christians that use some pretty offensive language to describe unwed mothers, practitioners of Witchcraft, homosexuals, Atheists, etc.
