Muslim family kicked off plane in London after passenger complains

Muslim attitudes in Britain:

47% do not believe that it is acceptable for a school teacher to be homosexual

23% support the introduction of Sharia Law.



http://www.channel4.com/info/press/news/c4-survey-and-documentary-reveals-what-british-muslims-really-think

And of those Muslims, how many think that Sharia Law should only apply to Muslims?

if they want Sharia law why do they not go to one of the 50 countries in the world that are Islamic?

PS. You really think it a good idea that Muslims have their Islamic enclaves in Europe?

Islam readily commands fighting against non-believers.

...By Muslims changing, I mean that 1.6 billion of them

evidently don't readily behead non-believers...

...follow the violence in the Quran. Most of them acknowledge the violent parts

and ignore it, but this isn't unconditional, there are many groups which don't. But the fact that Islam is 1500 years old

and society has changed so dramatically means that Muslims won't follow it without question as if they're brainwashed.

yeah because its a simple matter of packing up and going isn't it? people have lives, they can't just abandon them.

Have you ever been invited to a party? Do you think it good manners to start moving the furniture about and painting the walls etc?

Why do you think you should be able to come to Europe and start changing our culture? If you don't like living in a secular democracy you should leave.

Could you point me to where in Islamic scripture it states to "fight against non-believers" and what is the context of such a command and clarification, say by a well reputed tafsir or Muslim scholar on how such a verse is to be understood in light of the 21st century?



Who all vary in religiosity and interpretations of Islam.

Presumably viewing such verses to be time restricted? Is this extended to say a lack of support for the persecution of apostates, blasphemers and those engaged in consensual extramarital sex?



Islam is around 1400+ years old.



How would you convince a Muslim who reveres Muhammad and the Sahaba as role models for all humanity and supports (what presumably you would view as reprehensible) such as persecuting apostates, blasphemers, homosexuals - that the guidance of Islamic scripture and such revered Muslim figures, are to be restricted to a society "1500" years ago?

Islamaphobia is on the rise, people becoming more ignorant and right wing, prejudice and profiling increasing, anti-Muslim programs e.g. Prevent are being introduced...

Won't be long until Muslims will be forced to wear bright yellow cresent moons stitched into their clothes by the looks of it...

Geography is definetely an important factor in development. I think there was a specific term for that, but I cant come up with it.

Why should I waste time with someone who a) demands me to prove things which are easily researchable and b) corrects my understandable approximations

??

"Islam readily commands fighting against non-believers"

"...behead non-believers"

Passenger should be fined for time wasting

It's the passengers who complained that should be kicked off the plane.they are wasting time......
look, i know there are haters here but this is just my opinion

So you're unable to show me such verses and provide the context of such a command and clarification, say by a well reputed tafsir or Muslim scholar on how such a verse is to be understood in light of the 21st century?

I would just like to be clarified on what you've stated and how you've arrived at such statements...



Could you also answer this. How would you convince a Muslim who reveres Muhammad and the Sahaba as role models for all humanity and supports (what presumably you would view as reprehensible) such as persecuting apostates, blasphemers, homosexuals - that the guidance of Islamic scripture and such revered Muslim figures, are to be restricted to a society "1500" years ago?

I'm all for the scrutiny of Islam and Islamic extremism, but to suggest that just because other passengers who went through the rigorous airport protocol as you should be booted of because they're communicating in arabic is shocking and ludicrous.


The family booted off should sue the passenger and the airline if they half-hearted apology isn't sufficient.

The same criticism about it being the word of God can apply to Christianity. In a modern world, in the 21st century, we do not have very many people who follow their faiths to an absolute extent.

You should probably read the article first. It didn't say that at all. The OP is making things up. A passenger claimed that one of them was on the phone (which should have been turned off anyway as instructed by the crew) was looking at ISIS propaganda.
