In that case, I'm a terrorist, I'm going to start an anti-Western organisation tomorrow. They will work to bring down the government an introduce Taleban-style laws.

Would you allow that? Would I not be arrested right now?

DISCLAIMER: I'm not really ant-western, I'm just trying to make a point.

You cannot class this as the islamic culture helping British society.

It is people helping British society, nothing more.

List again. What has the islamic culture contributed to British society?

Islamic community have contruibited as much as any other religion and you could say the same for other religions what have the Christan or jewish society contribued to uk nothing but the practing of their faith same as islam



Really?

Saying that the 'Christan society' hasn't contributed to the UK in anyway is absolutely ridiculous. And this post is coming from an Arab.
Freedom of opinion, and intent to harm or lead to the potentiality of harm are 2 very different things.

According to Islam and the teachings of the Prophet, a Muslim is obliged to contribute to society in all aspects. That is, protecting the environment, preventing crime, voting etcetera.

If there are some Muslims who don't, they are not acting according to their religion's rules.


Could I ask what any other religious group has done?

It may have but religion in Britain no longe really matters - Majority of the people in Britain that are "supposed" to be christian arent - they never bother thinking about it - it no longer matters - So most of these people can be classified as Agnostics or Atheists (if they really don't believe in God).

So you think that just because the islamic faith teaches their followers to be good people, they are good people for that one reason and that is their contribution to the British society?

A person's actions which benefit society - such as teaching students or saving lives as a doctor - cannot be credited to their faith alone. They are people who help society.

Well you threw teachings at me. Almost all the religions - credible ones - advise people to be good people - just like your example.

Christianity - love thy neighbour. Turn the other cheek. I'm sure there's something about helping society in there somewhere...

Buddhism - be a good person to reach nirvana.

etc.

Got any more?

I meant my post. I'm the Arab.

Christianity forged what is Britain today. I can't believe you're asking this. The architect, the politics, the history, it's roots are all mostly-- if not exclusively, Christian-based.

Ever been in a classroom with a Jew? Just hear the hatred roaring!

People have been misunderstanding what i said in that post.

I wasn't attacking. I was asking what Islam has contributed purely because the OP said that we mock and demean their contributions to British society.

Maybe you should read the first post and the rest of the posts.

so if all faiths propose the same teachings then why was islamic way of life in wife swap being ridiculed becasue they belive you shouldnt sleep in the company of a starnger or shake his hand or women should preserve thier dignity and only show thier body to thier husband does that make us bad people who you should hate and ridicule?
