You know Islam is Misinterpreted When… at The Sugar cubes

You know Islam is Misinterpreted When…

18Feb08

People listen to radio shows where a supposedly “Sheikh” (Muslim scholar) lectures “true Muslims” on how to effectively use their time saying (about an unspecified task): “maybe your wife can do that, or maybe your child can do it! if so; let them do it! Don’t waste your time on a task someone beneath you can do”

wow how pathetic…i do not beleive these people are out there giving advice…

Qwaider, it was never mentioned! the bottom line was, if any task could be delegated to those beneath you, delegate and save yourself for more important tasks. And I got the idea that he was talking about everyday tasks, you know maybe cleaning the house, sewing buttons, maybe paying bills…

Ola, oh yes it’s true. It caught my attention while in a taxi. The Sheikh sounded Syrian btw.

Sam, tell me about it.

You know, you’re right. whatever it was, it doesn’t matter. But the way it sounds is really bad!
I’m sick of trying to find excuses to these ignorant shieks .. Imagine, this same dude is supposed to tell me how to deal with my wife!
I feel sorry for his!

Maybe it’s kinda like Christian pastors on radio and TV. I begin to doubt them if on radio, as I don’t think the ego can handle it. If they are on TV, with all the fancy suits and make-up and bad hair, I know not to listen. :S

By the way Shaden
If I didn’t thank you before, I should thank you now. Today, I marked my 1 year without smoking thanks to your position on smoking.

So Thank you, I’ll probably be grateful to you for the rest of my life on this thing alone

really hate those religious fanatics,
every time i try explaining how Islam justifies women, a westerner pops out a youTube about one of those sheikh’s saying really horrible stuff,
for example one sheikh on a very famous tv channel says the reason why Islam gives “men” the power of divorce is coz they “women” are 1/2 smart ???????????????????????????
:S are we that stupid??

thx for the share

If this means you wrote something that convinced Qwaider to quit smoking one year ago, I wanna read it
I’m thinking of when I read anything that changed my life, and I can’t find anything!

Qwaider, you’re most welcome even though I’m not sure I deserve any credit for such a courageous decision on your side. Congrats
