Good luck. <br><br>Though I also realize that you're no more an iconoclast than other Muslims, rather you're probably obedient to that tiny sect you belong to. Unless there<br>s a massive wave of Ijtihad, then making arguments will have little effect.Nightstudieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200991662519166944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561923483541812971.post-68064480922165044692007-11-29T09:04:00.000-08:002007-11-29T09:04:00.000-08:00Someone suggested that Muslims can curse God but n...Someone suggested that Muslims can curse God but never Mohammad.<br><br>Omce you start using morals to reason about Mohammad as if he were God - ie as the definition of Justice he would never do X or say X, you find that you have to throw out most of Islam, starting with the Sunna and ending with the Koran.<br><br>There's nothing wrong with being a deist rather than a Muslim of course - though Mohammad would strongly disagree.Nightstudieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200991662519166944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561923483541812971.post-90051568072963048472007-11-27T16:08:00.000-08:002007-11-27T16:08:00.000-08:00Where is it written that "insulting the Proph...<i>Where is it written that "insulting the Prophet" is a "grave offense" ?

Go not in to your teddy bears when their polyester stuffing has become soiled, but wait for the time of purification. Soiled stuffing is a pollution unto them and a discomfort, so stay away until they have cleansed themselves [with Downy]. Then go in to them as you please." <br><br>This would seem to suggest that under certain circumstances, teddies are halal! Now we must investigate the transmission of both hadith and look for weak links...<br><br>For the guy who's going to roll by and chastise us, we verify that these are not real hadith and are in fact made up for purposes of satire, and furthermore we suggest that all youngsters who might happen upon this comment thread immediately close their browsers so as not to become confused and led astray. And God is the best of counselors.G.

Narrated by Abu Abul Abi Abid, via an isnad authenticated by the Islamic University of Islam:<br><br>"Oh believers! verily is the cotton of the teddy bear haram [forbidden]. Enjoin yourselves to keep your names clean from its defilement. Let he or she who associates a teddy bear with Allah or His Prophet be subject to the lash, one each for the days of Ramadan."<br><br>now, interpretation of that hadith implies only thirty lashes. However, since the teacher was also poisoning the minds of 20 young children, each of whom is worth half as much as an adult (according to another hadith which I will explain at another time), we can add ten more. So it is written.<br><br>I swear, I read these hadith in Bukhari II: Hadith Boogaloo.Azizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11825546047253660903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561923483541812971.post-21025913060305426962007-11-26T16:31:00.000-08:002007-11-26T16:31:00.000-08:00If you find the piece of Islamic literature that p...If you find the piece of Islamic literature that prescribes 40 lashes for insulting the Prophet (assuming that naming a teddy bear [a teddy bear!] after him even counts as such), let me know...G.
