Hi Mary
It makes you wnoder if Islam is really that great, then why do Pakistanis and tablighees move to the West and what really drives them to want to convert others? I'm sure I will find some drivel in the Islamic tradition about tablighees getting the 72 virgins and the boys of heaven if they convert us infidels. What is indeed funny all of them complain about some one some where wanting to convert them to Christianity! But if you ask about specifics you will get no answer.
Having said this, what is most amazing is that the Qur'an says that islam is ONLY the religion of the Arabs (see Q14:4 where it says that Muhammad was sent only to his people the Hijazi Arabs) and the Arabic language is very central to understanding Islam and I would even say that without being fluent in Arabic I do not see how anyone can be a real Muslim, and I challenge anyone to prove wrong.
The fact that those Pakistanis are neither Hijazi Arabs nor Arabic speakers, it does not seem to stop them from trying to spread the religion and the imperialism of the Arabs. But I suppose this is the ultimate imperialism and that is the imperialism of the Arabs and may also be the ultimate "Stockholm Syndrome" where the decendants of the victims of the religion of the Arabs, their Hindu ancestors that is, are here to spread Islam that brutalized their ancestors. Just amazing
We all have to shout to the likes of those wannabe Arabs at CAIR and tell them that islam is the religion of the Arabs and they ain't no Arabs. They might not like it but it is the painful truth.
The only way I see is to do what I do and that it to prove to those Pakis/tablighees that they don't know any Arabic and I know Arabic very well and I can read the Qur'an in Arabic and that their claim that Islam is for all is far from the truth. I happen to believe that this is how we can defeat Islam in the market place of ideas that is and tablighees are a fair target.
