Wise words that too many here don't heed. Cinelli et al, are you listening?scouser1 said:Next time consider the source of anything that is being said about any group.
not just that but the sheer laziness of not thinking or doing research before making a comment about ex Muslim woman comes out on Islam, she was never a Muslim to begin with her opinions being right or wrong is another topic. And non Muslims being beheaded in greater numbers in Iraq than Muslims, ahhh I bet you more Muslims have been killed in sectarian reprisal beheadings than any other non Muslim or foreigner.dcbogey said:Wise words that too many here don't heed.

You need to check your sources and be more accurate about presenting the facts on Alawites. Check this link for an accurate account on Alawite!!scouser1 said:Wafa Sultan isnt a Muslim, she is an Alawite, an off shoot sect of Shia Islam that says Ali and not Muhammed is the true prophet of God, they make up 15% of Syria's population and have ruled under the brutal Assad regime for over 3 decades, so they have a consider bone to pick with the Sunni majority.

In short, Alawites are a sect of Shiite Islam, and regard Ali as successor of Muhammad, and not a replacement of the prophet of Moslems, just like all Shiites do. History tells us what happened after the death of the "prophet". The Moslem caliphate succession was hijacked by Abu baker, Omar, and Othman respectively. Ali was the last of the four caliphates, when he should have been the first, according to alawites and Shiites.
Maybe you consider all Shiite not Moslems!!!!
Or, maybe you have missed all the images of Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, an alawite, praying side by the mufti of Syria in the al amawi mosque!!!
Sounds like the no true Scotsman arguement. Basically you're logic is that she's not a REAL ex-Muslim so her opinion doesn't count.scouser1 said:Wafa Sultan isnt a Muslim, she is an Alawite, an off shoot sect of Shia Islam that says Ali and not Muhammed is the true prophet of God, they make up 15% of Syria's population and have ruled under the brutal Assad regime for over 3 decades, so they have a consider bone to pick with the Sunni majority.

of course her opinion is valid just like anyone else' thats why I am a big fan of democracy, unfortunately she is a member of a group that is the ruling minority in a country with a brutal dictatorship, this is like asking a member of South Africa's apartheid government so what do you think of blacks?Cinema Face said:Sounds like the no true Scotsman arguement.

I certainly hope you aren't minimizing what has been perpetrated upon the Christian minority in Iraq by the pure and holy Moslem majority.scouser1 said:And non Muslims being beheaded in greater numbers in Iraq than Muslims
