  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I was not answering you. There is a reason you ask this question, furthermore someone else already gave you a reason. At this time, you should have the thought process as to "why" you are not allowed? Now based upon that can my question "What does this tell you?" be NOT answered?

If someone puts up a sign that says "Private property. No trespassing" do you think their wishes should be respected?
depends on the situation.

if it's at a home, and someone doesn't want others on their property, then yes, we should respect their wishes. but if there was a resturant that said "whites only" we should not respect it. so it all depends on the situation.

but when you make a city where only muslims can go.. that's crazy!

That's a horrible analogy, everyone can become Muslim but no-one can change the color of their skin.

so if america only allowed christians to live here, you wouldn't have a problem with that? because you can always become christian.

if europe decided to stop letting immigrants in from muslim nations, and made everyone be required to be chrsitian, you would be ok with that?

even if not a whole nation or a continent, but let's just say a city. if you had to be christian to enter paris or jerusalem, or something like that, you would have no problem with that?

Okay, suppose a non-Christian group wanted a rack for their books, pamphlets, films, and music in a Christian bookstore. Should that be allowed?

Who makes that decision?

Let's say Vatican City. What percentage of the population is non-Catholic? Should synagogues and mosques be allowed there?

vatican city is a government place. besides the officials of the catholic church, no one lives there. but i'm sure that if they did have homes, non catholics would be allowed to live there. plus non catholics can enter vatican city!

Well mormons do not allow outsiders in their church. Even country clubs will not allow non-members in their club. Therefore, if you are not a part of the Islamic club, then you are not allowed in mosque in Mecca. In any case, I have heard reporters, not Muslim, were allowed in the mosque. Come to think of it, anyone can enter the mosque in Mecca, for it is not that hard.

Peace.

Actually, this is not true, there are many foreigners who live in Mecca, let alone most of Saudi Arabia.

Analogy might be far fetched BUT it was RIGHT on the ball. Do you know a person called MICHAEL JACKSON? Tell me his skin color! :p
