    Please explain first in easy english what you are asking me to explain? I am not able to understand specially the one in red.

    Please explain how does that statement relate to an "autocratic personality"? Forget anything else, just explain the relation of that statement with autocratic.

      Your statement

      "Does it matter what the majority agrees with?
      It's what we ourselves find.

      Democracy Where it does matter what the majority agrees with

      Autocracy where it doesnot matter what the majority agrees with

      I can't make it simpler.

      Have a nice day.

        Umm, I think she means it's what everyone finds individually, since we're all at different levels. This is actually a higher plateau of "democracy" and freedom. It does not exclude people and force them to follow pointless traditions in order to be a "Muslim." Everyone is happy with what they have on their own level, while still following the quran. Perhaps you should check who has the real "autocratic personality"

        Peace

          Thanks bro Navid for the succint explanation. I think it's pointless to go further with this due to obvious reasons .

            Well; you are also un-official speaker for Savage-Carrot, I did not knew about that. You still have several un answered questions in different threads, where I called you to respond but you did not and now i know the reason

            Savage-carrot

            Few months back when some one asked me is there any Muslim Forum where you can discuss anything you want without any fear? without banning or getting abused? I referred them to Free-minds, but it was before Ahmed Baghat and myself( for a week or so) getting a ban on the forum. I think most of the moderators and Administrators of this site are sensitive on many issues and I am trying to avoid direct involvement with them debating so may be I would not be banned in future.
            When I joined the forum may be 2005 the traffic was slow with only few active members, but it was contribution of each and every member of the forum including Me, Ahmed or any one who got banned to get a fame it desrves.

            Remember Islam is Unity, If it would have been personal, no pain would have been taken by these messangers to teach us. So you are telling us that Majority does not matter is a cry far away.

              But "indirect involvement" by insulting their names is fine, no matter.

              Maybe we should have a Wall of Fame nope

              If even after pointing it out, one still doesn't get it...I do feel like crying far away but I'll restrain myself.

                  I must be missing something. When has anybody counted anything? I have not been counted. And should we wait for everybody to be counted for everything in order to have a proper behaviour?

                    Is it really that hard of a concept to grasp? Withon the people who choose to follow the quran, there is no "majority" or "minority," everyone is free to go by their own understanding at their level. This is an even higher level of freedom. Everyone goes at their pace in striving to become a better muslim with their own unique understandings and view, while at the same time following all quranic laws. AND we are all at peace with each other. This is undeniable fact, and very easy to understand. Perhaps an example will help

                    Let's say we lived in a democracy, where we all voted for who the president will be. The majority would obviously win and some would be left to be stuck with whoever was voted in, unhappily. Now, imagine a society (although impossible in politics) where everyone got who they voted for, and were still following the rules. This is what we have. You have a misconception that a group where the majority doesn't agree on everything, they're automatically "autocratic." Whereas we have surpassed that level and are the exact opposite. I hope this helps

                    Peace

                      Yeah it is so bloody important, otherwise Prophet would not try to convert people all over Arabia, he would have been rather confined with Minority of followers he had.

                      I love Jesus! D

                        The prophet was not trying to convert anybody. He was delivering a message. He had no control over anyone.

                          Funny as usual, your posts are treat to read

                          Prophet was delivering a Message; why?

                          1. Without any purpose
                          2. He wanted people to be as they were after listening to his Message
                          3. He wanted them to embrace Islam

                          Any balance minded person knows it is #3.
                          He fought wars for this purpose, he took capitives, he travelled, he killed, he pardoned.

                            If you assure me that you will not run away this time as you did in "Ijtihaad" thread, I start a new thread and you prove it to me what you just wrote above. I am sure soon you will realize that what you are saying was due to sentiments and to gain high marks in the eyes of one of the mOds.

                              When someone's mind is made up, they can't see it even when it's right in front of them. What a waste of time.

                              I am sure soon you will realize that what you are saying was due to sentiments and to gain high marks in the eyes of one of the mOds.
                              Yes, that's right, however did you know? And I thought second sight was only for the highlanders.

                              To clarify even though there is absolutely NO need and things are obvious...not everyone is stupid enough to debate things because of sentiments and to gain high marks in the eyes of their peers...wait a sec, could this be a case of because I do it, they must do it too? Kinda like the "autocratic personality" bit?

                              When people make such statements in public and still expect to be taken seriously... )

                                Whatever; nothing is gona change my preception regarding your personality until I see a change; offcourse you don't care for how I preceive about you, but that is what I felt and I said that.
                                Those who donot care about majority are not democratic minded people that is for sure and here is the proof

                                Savage_Carrot

                                That is why you and your mind alikes are trying to destroy Islam, by building their own mosques and Kibla's every where, you are doing the same thing which was done by the builders of Mosque Zaraar (dharar).
                                How can a person have his unique understanding and view of Quranic Ayats and at the same time he will be following all the laws of Islam? When people make such statements in public and still expect to be taken seriously...

                                Just for a moment leave the biasness and get rid of the thought that all the "tradionalists" as you call them are fools and backward people, the same way most of Atheists think and say about those who beleive in any religon.

                                Today Mushraff has declared sort of Martial Law over here, and I hope you will not after reading my post.

                                Thanks.

                                  Of course I will take it lightly until I see a change. You don't care about how I perceive so what's the point? We learn by exchange of information, seeing both sides, when one person's mind is made up...there is no point.

                                  Stop being insecure. If all the "mosques" and kiblas built lead to God alone, there should be no problem but obviously there is, because some think there should be only one way of doing things and anyone else is wrong. Pity. And here is the real "autocratic personality" rearing its head. If anything is being destroyed, those are the illusions built up to make it look like the real thing. People will follow what they think is right, that's freedom for you...no compulsion in religion, why does it bother you so much?

                                  How can a person have his unique understanding and view of Quranic Ayats and at the same time he will be following all the laws of Islam? When people make such statements in public and still expect to be taken seriously...

                                  Of course useless statements such as "you will soon realise you are doing this because of sentiments...etc" should be taken seriously eh. It has been explained time and time again in this thread alone.

                                  Just for a moment leave the biasness and get rid of the thought that all the "tradionalists" as you call them are fools and backward people, the same way most of Atheists think and say about those who beleive in any religon.
                                  Irrelevant unfounded accusations/statements. Leave your biases aside and stick to the topic not emotional jaunts.

                                  Today Mushraff has declared sort of Martial Law over here, and I hope you will not after reading my post.

                                  Irrelevant, but that was yesterday btw. And I hope you'll realise after reading all the posts what the problem is. I won't hold my breath.

                                    Firstly show me one verse where the word "ijtihaad" is used and how it means what you want it to mean. You have yet to do this. It is you running away, not me.

                                    Are you joking? Freud called, he wants his psychoanalysis back bro. Oh well, this is expected of someone who cannot respond to the actual argument, and instead makes silly comments.

                                      Funny as usual, your posts are treat to read

                                      Prophet was delivering a Message; why?

                                      1. Without any purpose
                                      2. He wanted people to be as they were after listening to his Message
                                      3. He wanted them to embrace Islam

                                      Any balance minded person knows it is #3.
                                      He fought wars for this purpose, he took capitives, he travelled, he killed, he pardoned.

                                      Raj-ah

                                      Well, God says so (8822). If you have any issues, bring them up with Him.
                                      People change themselves, AND God says He does not change people until they change themselves. The prophet has no say in whether someone converts or not.

                                      Of course you have no time reading the quraan as much as reading, and insisting on, this nonesense

                                      the builders of Mosque Zaraar (dharar).

                                      And BTW, if you read the quraan, you will find that it is written "DHaraarAN" not DHaraar . Now find me a name of someone ending with accusative nunnation brickwall
                                      Why do you forget their partners "Kufran" ? ;D 9107 ( )
                                      Are they the same construction company, "Zaraar", mentioned in this verse 2231 " "?
                                      I explained this to you many times, but as long as you think that my posts are a treat to read, how can you understand? giveup

                                        Your statement is irrelevant to what I replied to Bigmo's post.
                                        Samia I know you can understand what I am trying to say but you wont accept it.

                                        WHY WAS PROPHET DELIVERING THE MESSAGE OF ISLAM? He was on mission assigned to him by Allah, and what was he trying to acheive by delivering the Message? offcourse even a third grader can know this

                                        TO CONVERT THOSE WHO DONOT BELIEVED IN ONE GOD

                                        to acheive his goal he

                                        Fought Wars, He Killed, He Travelled, He pardoned, He preached.

                                          And those who built a masjid to cause harm and for unbelief and to cause disunion among the believers and an ambush to him who made war against Allah and His Messenger before; and they will certainly swear We did not desire aught but good; and Allah bears witness that they are most surely liars.

                                          Oh Samia are you this Innocent, did I said in any of my post that Quran has named that Masjid mentioned in the verse as Dharaar, NO, it was the name given to the Masjid by the People and Prophet after revealtion of the verse

                                          DHERAAR (verbal noun ?MASDAR)

                                          Harming other, or damaging wealth , dignity and body, or offending their personal rights, in the word DHERAAR the person who cases the harm is also included. (causing harm) Or harm done by some one with purpose. There is a sense of subject or the one who did the harm in it.

                                          So who built that Mosque were actually HARMING ISLAM as I pointed out to Savage_Carrot. And Allah said about those who built that Mosque

                                          And those who built a masjid to cause harm and for unbelief and to cause disunion among the believers and an ambush to him who made war against Allah and His Messenger before; and they will certainly swear We did not desire aught but good; and Allah bears witness that they are most surely liars.

                                          See what Allah says about the people who talk about disuniting Muslims and telling us to built a KIBLA anywhere we wish.
