Wow, Dhimmi No More! I thank you very much for this post. I am just speechless! How can a translation differ so much from what they're giving us? This religion is a total fraud! As you said, this surat messes up even with what they preach! The tafsir of this short surat reveals how much they can play with meanings and purpose. Amazing! Thank you! And thank you for the links.
About this:
"PS: I just do not get it: How can Pakistanis and Indian Muslim follow a religion that is very much an Arab/Middle Eastern religion? I just do not get it."
I really cannot get it either. Precisely, I was reading yesterday a post of yours that I found where I posted the news about the jihadists' recruiter where you were saying how they can't condemn the atrocities that their ancestors suffered on Arabs' hands. I can't get how one can relinquish their own roots and see how wrong was what they did, and on top of it, still following this religion which was so enforced to them and submitting to a language that they really can't understand. I cannot comprehend these facts either, Dhimmi No More. This thinking escapes from all common sense, and at least from my understanding. It is very frustrating and very heartbreaking to see.
