Peace and common ground between Muslims and non-Muslims alike

[AmbientSound]

Mustardseed seems to perceive disrespect and offense from the long posts, though I do not necessarily agree. I find no disrespect in long posts, though I understand people do not have loads of free time on their hands to read them and I can understand how frustrating it might be to read something that long when it is not one's native language. If this were a general problem on the forum in all topics and subjects, the moderators could simply limit posts to a certain number of characters, say, something between 4,000 to 8,000 (this is possible to do using HTML and/or Java-script programming).

Actually, Kamals, I did not read the entire post, but since I was able to grasp your style of forum dialogue, I understood how your post was structured and was able to read according to that.

Kamals, perhaps there is a way to maintain the long posts so that you get to say everything you want to say, but structure them differently so that, for example, there's a short answer in bold and then it is explained in its own indented paragraph. I can tell from your posts that your thoughts start with a general idea and then go in depth to each part of that idea. I have a similar style of analysis, which is why I am so interested in system analysis and engineering.

Anyway, my point is that minor changes can be made so that everyone can have what they want. I must once again express my gratitude and thanks for your efforts and time spent on trying to answer some questions about Islam. I pray that this open discussion can remain free of negativity and insults. This one has a far better chance than the last two and my faith remains strong.

So Kamals what can we deduct from your absence? Until you answer my questions and actually take a stand in your own life to some of these issues I will deduct nothing? I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you have an exam, maybe you are busy with your garden or your many other activities, or maybe you have decided that you will only engage in a debate with those who either are undecided or pro your point of view. Who knows?

I would like to know what you think about the issues I brought out. How do you negate or explain the obvious fascist attitudes found in the Sunnah the Koran and the Hadith, toward Christians and Jews? What is your explational model. How do you justify your own life as a Muslim, living and enjoying the hospitality of a nation of Kaffirs? What does Jihad mean to YOU and not to some 1600 century Muslim?

As I said, down to earth questions, and I am looking forward to your answers.

Regards Mustardseed 

PS I think I gave you plenty of time
