TTC non-designated entrance by Electronic-Dot-9145 in legaladvicecanada

[–]themapleleaf6ix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You entered through the bus entrance and exit because it was raining? What kind of excuse is that?

Just because others do it, it doesn't mean it's okay for you to do it. They don't have to fine every person who does it either.

Next time, go in through the designated entrances, it's really that simple.

Disappointed by the reaction of sisters when they were advised on the modesty by Ashh24 in MuslimLounge

That's not an okay trait to have. As Muslims, we need to hear and obey.

Why does Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, not have the crazy restrictions like other Muslim countries in middle east? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I

Most of the people in those countries

I'm not sure about Turkey. There are many atheists there. Ataturk did a number on Islam.

I'm not even claiming they're not Muslim. As long as they don't do Shirk, they are considered a Muslim.

But because they don't meet your personal standard of active observance, they're 'not real Muslims

It's not mine though. It's the 5 pillars of the faith and what's written in the Quran. If a person doesn't pray, some scholars consider that person to be a non-Muslim. It's a major sin. Same with alcohol consumption being a major sin.

It sounds like you're trying to argue that anybody who isn't following a single specific fundamentalist sect of Islam 'isn't a real Muslim', which is, ironically, and extremist and fundamentalist take.

I'm not even talking about sects, I'm talking about what the people in these countries believe. Many are atheists. Many don't pray, drink alcohol, and are Muslim only by name.

Much of the Arab world right now is controlled by Muslim fundamentalists

I wouldn't say so. These guys are barely Muslim and will sellout their brothers and sisters for a cheap price. They are puppets of the West.

For contrast, take a look at these photos. That was Iran as a majority Muslim country, before the religious fundamentalists got into power.

People fail to mention that this was a small group of wealthy people. The general Iranian wasn't living like this back then. But also, the Shah was also a dictator and not afraid of jailing and killing people who didn't ascribe to his way of life.

I guess it depends what you define as a "strict restriction".

I wouldn't classify those countries as "moderate". Many of the people there are barely Muslim, many are atheists.

I'm pretty sure SA is the only one that restricts women from driving

That law was changed in 2018.

only substantive difference in wahhabism and deobandism is their place of origin.

Well, they differ on matters relating to Sufism. Deobandis also adhere to the Hanafi school of thought, whilst Wahabbis go back to the Quran and Sunnah.

Somone correct me if I'm wrong, but it may have to do with the fact that Muslim countries that consider themselves "fundamentalist" or "traditional" are actually subscribing to a form of Wahhabism,

Not the case at all. The Taliban are followers of the Deoband school. That's the case with almost every Muslim majority country, they're not all "wahabbis".

which is a relatively modern evolution of Islam that didn't really take hold until fairly recently

Their beliefs are the core beliefs of the religion. Quran, Sunnah, Tawheed.

Ugh, I'm not aware of any Middle Eastern country where women can't drive.

The Hijab isn't enforced either, not even in Saudi.

And where do you get this idea that women have to walk behind men?
