In fact one could say where are the Muslims, since these ladies are Ahmadiyya Muslims, which are not classed as real Muslims by many mainstream Muslims.

That wasn't really my point - sorry if I confused.

[Zacs-Master]

Did we establish where the men were?

[emmie]

zac no, some suggested they were home or work, could be..

[Zacs-Master]

Ah right. And are they not proper muslims either?

[emmie]

zac
no idea..

[Zacs-Master]

Just seems a bit daft to ask a question, the sub text of which is 'lets have a go at muslims' on the basis of there being a doubt as to them actually being muslims.

[emmie]

aren't they one type of devotee to Islam.

[Garaman]

I thought it was a fair question.

//We have been told they are not classed as 'real' Muslims by the OP and V_E tells us " They are not Muslims".//

The Ahmadis are Muslims by their own light, Mamya. I was quoting the Pakistani constitution under which it is a criminal offence for an Ahmadi to call himself such.

And I thoroughly respect and approve the gesture of these women; the criticism you detected in my post was directed at the media.

Toga, I can't believe you get away with such posts. Do the mods/ed. not care what is posted on this site ?

// If my memory serves me right, wasn't a Muslim shopkeeper once killed because he wasn't a proper Muslim? //

yeah - glasgow ahmaddiya butchered by a Brummie
who shows no remorse and is radicalising others in prison - well he had a lot of time on his hands ....

Anne, don't you think some posts however disturbing should be left - as I said earlier elsewhere AB is an education in how some people operate.

[naomi24]

^I agree. It certainly is.

[vulcan42]

naomi, how do you like living in Coventry? :o)

[naomi24]

Love it! ;o)

Yes...Rather like a pack of hyenas.

[anneasquith]

I'm all for freedom of thoughts on AB. But, such an obvious racist remark IMO is unacceptable, I don't report because we do have mods ED assistant Ed's.

[Mamyalynne]

Well they can't spot everything, that's why the report function is there - I understand your reluctance however.
