JazakAllahu Khayran - May Allah reward you guys.

Curious question. Intoxicants are prohibited in Islam. And I've been told if a Muslim drinks alcohol, his worship won't be accepted for 40 days. So if a Muslim were to take drugs (weed, coke etc.) would the same rule apply?

Asalaamulaykum peeps.

Well done to Pakistan for not bowing down to the Saudis. They have decided against dropping bombs on the heads of fellow Muslims.

Asalaamulaykum guys, me and ThatMuslimGuy need your help

Earlier this year we started a little project. The project is a website by the name of quran-errors.com. This sites main purporse is to refute argument put forward people against the Islam. We currently have around 16 articles I think, so it's still a work in progress. So, how can you help us?

Well for a start, we have a library section on our website. In this library, we have uploaded tonnes of books. The guy I got them from said there were 2000+, I'm not going to bother counting for an exact number but there is a lot! So help us, by helping yourselves, get some of the books and boost the knowledge. Jannah points for all, win, win.

Heres our library page - http://www.quran-errors.com/islamic-libary.html:

JazaakAllahu Khayran

I don't really think Pakistan abstaining means that they care about people in Yemen. They've just taken a neutral position so they can have good relations with both Saudi and Iran. If the Pakistani army actually cared about Muslim lives they wouldn't have carried out atrocities in Balochistan over the past decade.

I see your point but just because they wanted to maintain good political relationships doesn't make this decision any less laudable.

Judging from their stand against UAE's threats, you can tell have god intentions. And you shouldn't dig out the bad in their past just to make any good in the present look bad.

It would depend on for what reason you're lauding it. If it's for "not dropping bombs on muslims", then it's pretty much out there to be argued that it's not.

Not necessarily. If Pakistan didn't reply back to the UAE minister publically then it wouldn't be seen as a sign of weakness. It was expected that they do it. It's not about good intentions, it's just to not look weak.

Balochistan really isn't the past, abuses still go on there. The Pakistan army has a lot to answer for. Don't get me wrong, I have family in the Pak army, I even wanted to join them at a point, it's just I'll call them out for what they are.

I think you mean would.

It's ridiculous to say that because they make mistakes, this one time that they've done something good, it had to be because they only had their own interest at heart and are definitely not doing it with good intentions.

Wasalam.
I will definitely take a look at it.
May Allah reward you two greatly for your hard work and efforts.

So is it wrong to call out Pakistan in the cognitive dissonance in their treatment of fellow Muslims? Regardless of their intentions, isn't praising them like patting a bully on the back for not beating someone up one day?

Just to ensure this doesn't become a full-on debate, all I'm going to say is Pakistan's military and government have made mistakes but I'm glad that they were able to not turn this situation into another one.
And the bully analogy is void imo, that's not the case. If one of their decisions (which could've been disastrous) went down a good route, it's not a cue to bring up their other mistakes.
Though it does seem like they said that just because they're not in the position to partake in this anyway.
