Stop embarrassing yourself.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Mauritania
Slavery in Mauritania is an entrenched phenomenon the national government has repeatedly tried to abolish, banning the practice in 1905, 1981, and August 2007.[1][2] The descendants of black Africans abducted into slavery now live in Mauritania as "blacks" or haratin and partially still serve the "Moors" (semites), or bidhan, as slaves.
wow you realy are a stupid racist idiot. what about mali,uganda ,colombia,zambia,congo,centeral african repuplic,ethiopia,kenya were they all have slaves from different tribes -
Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?Nope. I already spoke about with Chloe in respect to alcohol. But overall, yes I do feel the West is a lot more just & merciful compared to the rest of the world (albeit its foreign policy).(Original post by Bonged.)
That's not the case. You don't think us having gay rights etc is just, do you?
If you feel that way, go produce/encourage more Western babies then. Win hearts and minds about the growing threat posed to you by me and other non-Westerners, "we're all onto you and set out to harm and oppress you and your family AAAAAAHHHHH, they will come with pitchforks soonYou take advantage of our liberalism, the liberal elite are too naiive to see this because of their worldview in which non-westerners are less responsible for their actions.
I mean don't worry, you're winning, it's the English people that are having their country quite literally taken from them. Just saying maybe remember that we were largely gentle simpletons when we are in the minority in the coming years. Please. lol.
!" style of rhetoric etc...
I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. -
Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?You support gay rights? Gay marriage?(Original post by harmony_01)

Well, it's evident that you don't like us, you haven't got any respect for our culture or way of life. Why wouldn't we be worried? Most racist attacks are against white people.
I fail to see how I'm going to convince anyone to increase their birth rates, people are far too apathetic.
I know. Britain must be a really exciting place for a young non-british person. Things can only get better. -
Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?No.(Original post by Bonged.)
You support gay rights? Gay marriage?
I don't respect any culture at present. I want to choose my way of life, I respect some parts of your way of life and not others but the ultimate decision to live how I want to live is upto me. Why shouldn't it be?Well, it's evident that you don't like us, you haven't got any respect for our culture or way of life. Why wouldn't we be worried? Most racist attacks are against white people.

I do and will continue to care and respect Non-Muslim individuals because I would like the same back and to inspire my faith. Racism is bad.
It is indeed an exciting place. If you don't like it, you know where to go...?

Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?So your perception of just and merciful is flawed. You would persecute gays due to your religious bias.(Original post by harmony_01)

What if non-muslims do not respect your religion?

Should you be living in Wales then, by your logic i mean? -
Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?what do you mean? I go to uni in wales.(Original post by Indo-Chinese Food)

ohhh I get what you're saying. yeah sure I actually learn welsh and appreciate welsh culture, I have done some celtic studies in my spare time. Also I'm not imposing my englishness on anyone, people can tell me what they like and don't like about english people and we get along after being able to talk about these things. welsh people aren't projected to become a minority in wales for a while longer than english people anyway. they've still got some time.Last edited by Bonged.; 07-04-2012 at 16:13. -
Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?I'll repeat it again, I don't characterise my faith to be rule-based. You have inspire others towards it first and then you submit to God's will. It doesn't make logical sense to submit to God, if you don't believe in it. CofE is trying that at the moment, see the unsurprising backlash it is acquiring. Foolish. Islam believes that Allah does not burden a soul for more than they can bear. To be entirely consistent with doctrine, it can be overcome, just like any other sin.(Original post by Bonged.)

I'll carry on respecting them.What if non-muslims do not respect your religion?
You guys have overrun Spain, parts of France, Thailand, Dubai etc? That's where.I literally don't know where to go. I'm English, If I become a minority in England, where can I go? -
Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?..leave my homeland? but you are able to go back to a homeland. I can't. I actually like england and want to stay. The countryside etc. I don't want to leave that.(Original post by harmony_01)

Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?I wouldn't say that I'm a fanatic, but yeah I do like the show. Also, I have de monies(Original post by Zangoose)
Good day Sir,
I couldn't help but notice your username and display picture. Would I be correct in assuming you are a Facejacker/Fonejacker fanatic?

Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?Depend who you ask there(my g/f is from wales) SOme welsh people already think english influence and migrants are too many in wales, and already the use of the welsh language has dwindled to about 5% and 95% english.(Original post by Bonged.)
what do you mean? I go to uni in wales.

I supposse you could say the same thing about New zealand, where the mauri are already a minority there. But new zelanders accept they live ina multicultural country. -
Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?
[QUOTE=joey11223;37031664]Stumbled upon a few reports by independent think tanks on differing cultural views and It was interesting to see that in surveys the 16-24 age group of Muslims seem the most conservative, or at least more approving of certain aspects of Sharia law, then older generations.
http://dvmx.com/British_Muslim_Youth.pdf (report I've just read here, there are other surveys too.)
Just a few selected questions and comparisons..
"The following is a list of laws that are defined in most scholarly
interpretations of sharia law. Please say if you personally agree or
disagree with the law mentioned..."
1) That a Muslim woman may not marry a non-Muslim:
16-24: 56% agree
45-54: 40% agree
2) That Muslim conversion is forbidden and punishable by death:
16-24: 36% agree
45+ (covers two age brackets, 45-54 and 55+): 19% agree
3) That homosexuality is wrong and should be illegal:
16-24: 71% agree
45-54: 54% agree
55+: 50% agree
Just wondering why this is the case? I would have assumed that being born and growing up with a Western influence, over their parents and grandparents who may have immigrated here, todays Muslim youth would actually be more liberal then previous generations, yet the opposite appears true?[/QUOT
Firstly I am a muslim.
My answers to the above questions are:
1) Agree. It is written in the Qur'an it is forbidden. End of
2) Dont get what this says? ~Is this converting away from Islam? Well its forbidden but I don't think should be punnished by death, as they will suffer on the day of judgement.
3) Add "and should carry the death penalty". Then I totally agree -

Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?thats rather stupid and naive to think so isn't it..... there are plenty of "patriotic" and "indigenous" brits who are really pissed off at past and present british governments but would never dissociate themselves from their nation, culture, hertiage, religion etc . . . . . don't see pakistanis any different.(Original post by electriic_ink)
Well if I found myself in a position where I had to move continents to find a job, I'd be pretty pissed off with the government and would want to dissociate myself from them as much as possible, and I can't see why Pakistanis wouldn't either. -
Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?(Original post by Ayshizzle)
Why do you think homosexuality should carry the death penalty?
Well I'm muslim and have been brought up beliving it is wrong..
plus the idea of it makes me want to throw up..... -
Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?Why is homosexuality so evil that you agree that it deserves the death penalty?(Original post by mortaz786)

Argument from disgust is a fallacy.plus the idea of it makes me want to throw up..... -
Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?Yes and that's fair enough, but it doesn't mean you can kill people for it. There are lots of people who think Muslims are evil etc and they should be killed. Is that ok too?(Original post by mortaz786)
Well I'm muslim and have been brought up beliving it is wrong..
Well tbh I find your ideas sickening too but I wouldn't kill you for them.plus the idea of it makes me want to throw up..... -
Re: Young British Muslims more conservative than their elders?It doesn't harm me in anyway but I just find it morally wrong.(Original post by Politricks)
