		<description>What I don&#039;t understand is... 
the West has been calling IRAN / IRAQ / AFGHANISTAN / PAKISTAN / SAUDI ARABIA / LEBANON / and many other muslims states a TERRORIST for years now.
They clearly say that the enemy is ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS.
And then they descrive terrorists with the description of the Sunnah. So shouldnt the West be asked first of their hate propaganda against muslims ?

And you&#039;re asking questions to one man that he said USA is an enemy to islam 5 years ago.
Yes certainly USA is an enemy. Is there any doubt ?
It has already attacked 3 muslim countries. and plans to attack two more soon. Millions of civillians have been killed in air raids. and there is no one stopping that.

And people are worried about someone who said the truth. So they wont let him in ?
So that people might realize the truth ????
or do they think that he will bomb the country ? lol.</description>

		<description>dear Thaigan;

Islamic civilization is the one n only which allowed co-existance of relegion,with the law of Jizya(the tax non-muslims have to pay to the muslim government).
Shariya Laws which u have sited are crop or ur mind; so here is a correct version
&gt;a democratic system of government
   Wat is Democracy: Even though there is no universally accepted definition of &#039;democracy&#039;,[3] there are two principles that any definition of democracy is required to have. The first principle is that all members of the society have equal access to power and the second that all members enjoy universally recognised freedoms and liberties.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy )
This rule has been set up by Quran,in surha Al-Shura-
[42:16]
but say, &#039;I believe in whatever book Allah has sent down, and I am commanded to judge justly between you; [42:39] And those, who hearken to their Lord, and observe Prayer, and whose affairs are decided by mutual consultation, and who spend out of what We have provided for them,  
[42:40] And those who, when a wrong is done to them, defend themselves.  

&gt;women will continue to be under slavery

Surely, men who submit themselves to GOD and women who submit themselves to HIM, and believing men and believing women, and obedient men and obedient women, and truthful men and truthful women, and men steadfast in their faith and steadfast women, and men who are humble and women who are humble, and men who give alms and women who give alms, and men who fast and women who fast, and men who guard their chastity and women who guard their chastity and men who remember ALLAH much and women who remember HIM - ALLAH has prepared for all of them forgiveness and a great reward (33:36) 

Islam puts man and woman on the same scale n both worldly n relegious affaris. the Salvery thing that ur talking about in not in islam but if look into ancient Roman law,woman was based on complete denial of civic rights, and on requiring her to be constantly under the tutelage of a guardian,No FREEDOM watsoever she wished,In general she could be inherited but she had no inheritance.
In Christain period, they often questioned the nature of her soul? or that woman did not possess a soul at all.
&gt; stoning to death for adultery for women will continue
This ruling is same for man n woman, Islam knows how it feels to love n be loved, n if someone cheats behind backs, its really painful.I dont know how can ppl digest the concept of adultary, trust me if some one from the Western human rights foundation says that adultary should be a crime. U all wld really appriciate it.

Islam is a beautiful relegion, try to understand it. Its for our own good.
42:26] And He it is Who accepts repentance from His servants and forgives sins. And He knows what you do.
May Allah guide all of us. Ameen</description>

		<description>Dr.Bilal says &quot; that western culture led by the United States is enemy of Islam, as it seeks to oblige the Islamic culture to accept its secular system.&quot;

This is the operative part of the potential disaster.  Islamic culture can never accept the secular system.  It will not countenance:
&gt;   a  democratic system of government
&gt;   normal legislature passed laws but will impose sharia
&gt;   women will continue to be  under slavery
&gt;   stoning to death for adultery for women will  continue
&gt;   the minorities in the system will be kept in dhimmitude and host of other most dangerous prospects.  

Abdulla, Do we need this religion?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;There is not much else to say, except that he is lying somewhere.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Or that he couldn&#039;t remember what he said years ago in the interview that gets quoted in that document you mentioned.

Also, you didn&#039;t mention what he said after that line and that was that he denounced al-Qaeda, terrorism, killing, violence, etc.  There is nothing in that interview you cited that leads to the conclusion that he is dangerous.

Anyway the sheikh is constantly travelling in and out of the UK and Canada for conferences and has never had any trouble or issues over many years.

Bottom line is that it is all a beat up.</description>
