Thought I would say hello. You say you are answering the EDL, fine..but seems a very muslim orientated site. Are non-muslims welcome ?

I ABHOR racism. Used to be ANL in the 80s

Allah says "Let there be no compulsion in religion, indeed truth and guidance is made crystal clear from ambiguity and falsehood" TMQ - Chapter 2 verse 256. He most high and blessed also said: "Indeed, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold falsehood does perish! TMQ- Chapter 21 verse 18.

Hi. We don't discriminate in regards to who joins this forum. It kind of follows that if the EDL are xenophobic towards Islam it would be pretty natural that many Muslims would join a forum that is set up to answer the lies and spin that the EDL put on Islam.
And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."

Surat Al-`Ankabūt [29:46]

I think you might be a little confused. Let me try to enlighten you a little.

Firstly, you mentioned that this seems to be a Muslim orientated site and then go on to say you Abhor Racism

I ABHOR racism.

Since when was bias towards a religion Racism? In fact, isn't that what the EDL are always saying.......'we are not racists.......Islam is not a race'? :huh:

Now I mention xenophobia and you again talk about racism. Do you actually know what xenophobia means? I guess from your statement that you do not.

Dictionary.com defines xenophobia as......
'hatred or fear of foreigners or strangers or of their politics or culture'

As defined by the Oxford English Dictionary, it can mean......
a fear of or aversion to, not only people from other countries, but other cultures, subcultures and subsets of belief systems; in short, anyone who meets any list of criteria about their origin, religion, personal beliefs, habits, language, orientations, or any other criteria.

I hope that clears it up for you a little bit.

Maybe I should add I that I hate Islamaphobes......not for them as a person, but for the lack of knowledge they have.

And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."

Thank you for your words of wisdom. Islam is not a race at all. Bigotry on skin colour is STUPID !

Would people be xenophobic against communism ? Perhaps facism ? Maybe Dutch Clog dancing ??

We will meet in the cage.

Your Islamophobe as you put it ;-)

In light of all that's now come about and the very fact you've unveiled yourself I just thought I'd commend your opening post here seeing as you were taking the fight to racism in the 80s, before your jacobs had even dropped and you'd hit double figures in age. Top man, I doff my cap!

How can we take you or your organisation seriously when you tiptoe round in a these various guises?
