Hey just made this poll. thought the response would be interesting
This is if you have muslim friends or are close to one
-
What kind of a question is that?
-
a question i was interested to see the response to on this forum
if its not okay to ask enwiabe can take it down but i don't see why
-
There are muslims who use this website, I hope you take that into considerations.
-
haha hmm that should be an option!
-
Yep :P
Add other options;
I'm a Muslim and I hate certain aspects of my religion
I'm a Muslim but I don't get along with other muslims
-
Umm why would you be 'friends' with someone you don't like?
-
good point although some people use the word "friend" loosely
-
This has the potential to become inflammatory and abusive very quickly and I don't think I can in good conscience allow this to remain open.
Muslims are a vibrant part of the Australian societal fabric and they deserve a lot more dignity than "do you have Muslim friends and what is your response to them?" which is quite demeaning in that it implies that somehow we need to discuss our response to them (wtf??). Except for the fundamentalists which number very few, they are decent human beings like you or I and as such, deserve our respect.
Lastly, substitute "Jewish" or even "Christian" with "Muslim" to see how offensive this post is.
