		<description>Correction: Actually you are blatantly misusing, no you are raping Islam, to justify your bigotry, intolerence and hate and your continuous conspiracy theories. Thats who you are.  I have fear of Allah and so I refuse to comment on who is a con artist or not. All people answer for themselves. The truth I know is the one Allah provides in his Scripture to mankind, and you are are simply trashing every single verse on what constitutes good behaviour and etiquette and you talk about truth? It is obvious, you are not interested in truth, Islam or Allah. You don&#039;t even fear Allah. Afterall only like this can you trash people you dislike, and spin your web of lies and hate. I also have to simply disregard your blatant false accusations. The message indeed comes with the messenger and not you, so you need not act like a self proclaimed speaker on behalf of more than 1,5 billion muslims worldwide. Reality check: You are not. You don&#039;t have a patent for interpreting/understanding the message. You disagree with TF, then take it to court like a real man. You don&#039;t like the truth, then Islam is not for you. It doesn&#039;t need further munafiqs who show such contempt and disregard to the very words of Allah. And his words refute your blind hate, you hatemomgering and you trashing people like this. You even stoop to false accusations to support your own misguidedness. Grow up. Tolerence is of essense in Islam and you ought to know what Allah says to people about discussing faith when in disagreement and manners in general. Clue: Hatemongering, trashing, dafamation of character, intolerence are not the answers. Now I did not author that scripture. So according to you, Allah and his messengers too need to turn to you learn about Islam? The words of Allah in the Quran are wasted on you. Hence, you pay no heed. Munafiqs rarely do. That must be where you learned Islam from. Stop defaming Islam. If you have nothing nice to stay, then stay silent. And stop dictating to me or any muslim, what &quot;truth&quot; (according to you) they should speak. You have no such authority, drM. Before you start attacking my sincere imaan, I suggest you take a long hard look at yourself. I am not the one justifying kufr or hypocrisy by ignoring the words of Allah which commands you to behave especially when you disagree and to not hate and call people by names or adopt sarcasm.</description>

		<description>And who better to speak about tolerance then marxist fanatics like Tarek Fatah right? Fatah&#039;s record as a con artist is well known so why should anybody with an IQ above room temperature give the benefit of the doubt to a man who has made his living demonizing the Muslim community? Reading your posts it&#039;s obvious you simply have no interest in hard facts. You&#039;re misusing tolerance to justify hypocrisy and kufr. Where did you learn Islam from? Irshad Manji?
Islam comes Allah, through his messengers, not you or Tarek Fatah. I&#039;ll call him and the rest of the frauds what they truly are. Don&#039;t like it? Too bad, either speak the truth or stay silent.</description>

		<description>Rubbish, how does mocking and exposing Tarek Fatah&#039;s lies prove him right? Neither him or Manji represent anyone but themselves and their Zionist masters, for you to think otherwise represents nothing wishful thinking on your part. They are widely despised in the Muslim community, and rightly so.
I see no reason to treat charlatans(right or left wing) with kid gloves. Grow up.</description>

		<description>Your last line just proves Fatah correct on all counts. That kind hatred and prejudice goes nowhere. Muslims need to rise above this eye for an eye crap and listen to the criticism because much of it is valid. 

Sure Fatah and Manji may not represent all muslims, but they do represent a significant silent majority of open-progressive islam. Just because they criticize doesn&#039;t mean they are 100% right. It means there are deep problems to address. If you prevent self-analysis, you stagnate and become an extreme caricature of your former self....hence the world perception of men in caves sending rockets. That&#039;s all they see because that&#039;s the loudest voice.

Silence only shows contempt or fear.</description>

		<description>I agree with you for the most part, except Reza Aslan is great in my opinion- do you discredit him simply because he&#039;s shia?  I have yet to disagree with anything he has said- he has very reasonable opinions in my opinion which I think most muslims here in North America would agree with.</description>

		<description>@ DrM

Indeed, look who is talking. Familiar with your hateful anti-islamic rants.

First you accuse me of supporting him, then of being him. Confused, much?

Your paranoid remark deserves no response, but still, I hate to burst your bubble, I am not Tarek Fatah. 

Just because I speak of tolerance, not be confused with agreement, does not mean I am that person or support a particular view. If you are entitled to hold your views so are the rest of us. 

So I can&#039;t post under his name. Your attempts to insult and denigrate  people you disagree with is directly in negation with the message of the holy Quran. Whats next, you will claim, The Quran was infact written by Tarek Fatah posing as the creator, Allah?

Passing derogatory remarks, making false accusations and debating armed with agression and derogatory remarks all goes against the Quran. I didn&#039;t write it.  So who is really the lying, neocon bootlicking anti-Muslim here?

Tolerance is an inherent part of Islam. It can not be divorced at whim to cater for our own mischief, hatred and desires.</description>

Look who&#039;s talking! You say there is no pride in defamation and hypocrisy yet you&#039;re supporting lying, neocon bootlicking anti-Muslim fanatics like Fatah. Tell me T-Fatah, why are you so scared to post under your own name?</description>

		<description>The best way you could counter argue my view was to call my post &quot;idiotic speech&quot;? 

Wow, you sure know to win a debate. Hands down. 
 
NOBODY aappointed you ALLAH or even a spokesperson (i&#039;d hate to say spokesman as that would be insulting to all real men) for all Muslimjs (all 1.5 bill. of them)

So your pathetic rant where your claim that certain issues are debatable whiles others are not, is again subject to interpretation. I am not familiar with Fatah&#039;s or others views nor I am concerned. He will answer for himself and the rest for themselves.

And the underlying message of your posts apart from its blatant ignorance in Islam, seems to advocate violence and persecution of those you differ with. Perhaps you are even ready to kill. What a shame that thanks to your violent and bidah posts outsiders who read this will confirm their prejudice that Islam is violence and the work that some of us put in showing the opposite will go wasted.

You preach hate and intolerance. Clearly not in line with Islam, so you are clearly already on the path of wrong. Congrats!

You do not get to define what Islam is or not. Get that through your head. And your namecalling, bashing and character assassination shows you have not got the fainted idea as to Islamic etiquette stated in the Quran and ahadith. In fact nothing condones your deviant views.</description>
