Thank you for this article. Did you hear about QTel in Qatar censoring

chat-software? I thought they too would argue, that chatting could be used in haram and therefor they had to shut it down.. I have read they shut every other service down,

so that people would use the chat-software of QTel…

Salam.

Don’t they know that physically fit women give birth

more easily? Maybe from that angle it would be permitted?

Excellent post..

I have never been

to Saudi, but i don’t like to hear people Saying: Islam is not a good religion…..

- I ask why?

- They reply: Saudi is applying true Islam and look what is

happening their?

I reply : who told you that saudi is applaying true islam?????

because I know Islam is not bounded and should not be attached to a

government or a country.

I lived in Saudi for a long time and went to their

“Wahhabi” scholls and I think this is a case (in thier mind) of “al amr bil ma3roof” which is staying within the norms and customs of the society. I think society and religion is

what defines many people, so they mix the too.

Forbidding physical enducation is abviousely triggered by the desire to supress women. I learned at school (in Saudi)

that the prophes, peace be upon him, used to race (run) his wife Aisha for fun.

This is actually quite silly, although im not

surprised the saudi govt have done this. They ban physical education for women claiming it to be unislamic, while they pursue their own power, wealth, greed and business

with western corporations and governments.

There is nothing in islam to say that women cannot do PE. All that is needed is to have a gym soley for females, taught

by females. The qur’an focuses on physical and personal wellbeing, aswell as the spritual, mental and social.

PE is good for the health, helps to sustain welbing and

life, and should in this context actually be considered Islamic.

off comment: I was reading in a book briefly that the wahabist

movement wanted at the beginning to reform islam, to make it more modern at the same period when Protestants challenged the catholic church! The book also says that

wahabists were very violent and exclusive and that made them remain closed to any public debate! does anybody have an idea on wahabists, how they became like that and

what the hell is going on there?
I mean, now it’s maybe in saudi arabia, but through their TV channels and petrol money they are to influence young guys from other

countries as well, very often those young men know very little about the history of Islam, the wahabists and their own orientation (sunni, chiaa or whatever, although i’m

against deviding muslims like that)
