ONE THING that always puzzles people in the West is why we allow mosques to proliferate in our own liberal democracies when Islamic countries forbid the establishment of churches, and the spread of other faiths in theirs.
Dr Zakir Naik
The answer’s simple, according to simpleton – pardon – prominent Muslim commentator Dr Zakir Naik:
In our country we cannot allow preaching of other religions because we know for sure that only Islam is the right religion … Non-Muslims are no doubt experts in science and technology but in matters of religion we are the experts.
So how far does this expertise stretch?
On the website Islamic Voice Dr Naik provides an answer to the following question:
Science tells us that whatever one eats has an effect on one’s behaviour. Why does then Islam allow Muslims to eat non-vegetarian food, since eating of animals could make a person violent?
Replied Dr Naik, a doctor of medicine, by the way, and President of the Islamic Research Foundation:
Only eating of herbivorous animals is allowed by Islam. I agree that, what a person eats has an effect on his behaviour. This is one of the reasons why Islam prohibits the eating of carnivorous animals like lions, tigers, leopards, etc who are violent and ferocious. The consumption of the meat of such animals would probably make a person violent and ferocious.
Unless, of course, they got eaten first.
Dr Naik elaborates:
Islam only allows the eating of herbivorous animals like goats, cattle, sheep, etc that are peaceful and docile. We Muslims eat peaceful and docile animals because we are peace-loving and non-violent people.
Shame on you for snorting derisively!
But back to the Religion of Truth. Watch Dr Naik explain how, by propagating Islam in non-Muslim countries, people like him are doing nothing more sinister than to “lead us to the right path of Islam” where, no doubt, we can take a multiplicity of wives, bundle them in burqas, and beat them if they ever dished us up a tiger casserole.

Hm. Rams and bulls are not exactly known for their docility, even after millennia of selective breeding.

I can’t decide which is worse: self-righteous priggishness or drooling idiocy. And this creature is ‘prominent’?

Hmmm … let’s follow his reasoning on diet through, shall we.
Eating snails will make us sluggish; rabbit will make us skittish; lamb will make us docile, and, as for goats – a much-favoured Muslim meat – well, this would explain their silly beards and perpetual randiness …

As long as the Islamic world regards this king of idiocy as ‘scholarship’, there’s a good chance their nukes won’t go off. Or am I being wildly optimistic?

Why don’t people blame themselves when they are violent. That would be a new thing. Taken into account background and upbringing and circumstances ie I woule like to kill a few people. I just choose not to – today.
Have met violent vegetarians and nice blokes who eat a field of pigs and cows each morning.
My Godson gets violent if he is given pizza, McDonalds or milk products. But then he is autistic and surounded by professionals who would make you want to rip their heads off. Likes his meat and two veg though.
Muslims very unsympathetic if people have problems or born with disabilities. Believe it is punishment from God. Dreaful situation where mum gave birth to baby prematurely with problems. Stayed with her baby in the incubator. life and death situation. Her husband and family abandoned her and treated her as if she was God forsaken til baby pulled through. Disgusting. She was chastised on top of watching her baby nearly die.
Ideas from the Ark.
Can we have less use of shit and poo etc when criticising others. I like many are not from the modern gutter attitude to things. I am an adult so i do not need such immature adolescent approach to things.
Yes I know. I am rejected don’t fit in here go straight to Hell do not pass go do not collect two hundred pounds. we don’t care or give a shit. God you could run a church or sect.
But some of us are older and of the generation which didn’t have to use such “crap” arguements.

So Dr Zakir Naik mustn’t be quite the expert he claims to be then, eh?

Well in math its good to define things as 2 bags of grass plus 2 packs of ciggerettes could equal 3 very stoned people.

“ONE THING that always puzzles people in the West is why we allow mosques to proliferate in our own liberal democracies when Islamic countries forbid the establishment of churches, and the spread of other faiths in theirs.”
Er, well, it doesn’t puzzle me, Barry. The reason we “allow” mosques is that we aren’t mean-spirited authoritarian nutcases like the bloke in the article!
It puzzles me why anyone would think banning mosques would be a reasonable response to religious oppression in other countries.
It’s the kind of logic that led people to say, “why should we let atheists go around talking freely when in Albania they are repressing religion?”!
