Topic: Picnic=Sin in islam

[TomorrowHERD]

Several people were beaten to death in Iraq because they had a picnic.  

“They started shouting at us that we were immoral, that we were meeting boys and girls together and playing music and that this was against Islam. They began shooting in the air and people screamed. Then, with one order, they began beating us with their sticks and rifle butts.” Two students were said to have been killed.

“We beat them because we are authorised by Allah to do so and that is our duty,” Sheik Ahmed al-Basri said after the attack. “It is we who should deal with such disobedience and not the police.”

Islam the religion of peace--my a$$.

I think that's an ignorant comment to make regarding about 1/3 of the world's population.

Sorry guys, but I have some difficulty with both your statement's.  First, most Muslims are not radical or fundamental. These are the over the top, strap a bomb to your body, beat your  :-?  because of a picnic extremist. I have met many muslims while working in healthcare and I can tell you they are generally nice people. Although I find any muslim to be to extreme in their belief, not all are going to try and kill you.

Second, we have a number of extremist in our own country. Do you remember any of the abortion clinic bombing's? Who were behind those? What about some of the white supremist beliefs? Ever see image's a cross being burnt.  

Finally, why does it matter how many muslims there are in the world, just because so many believe in something doesn't make it a good thing.

Only playing devils advocate...
No pun intended...
