For Dr. Fahad: The good doctor strikes again and again, And the word Deen (sic)!!!

So my dear doctor: in part one I proved to you that your command of Arabic is very poor and that there is no reason for us kuffar to believe you more so in liguistic matters that pertians to the Arabic language.

And to be blunt: your opinion is no opinion period.

The word diin (dal, yeh, nuun) means as per al-ma'jam al-'Arabi: Lisan al-'Arab (you go ahead and ask your Mullah to translate this for you and ask him to tell you what is a ma'jam and who was Ibn manzur, and what is really Lisan al-'Arab as you seem to need all the help that you can get) (also see Hans Wehr dictionary page 306A) :

Diin means: adyan (p) religion, creed, faith, belief.

This is a very stable arabic word and I do not see anything about culture or way of life in its definition. You might wish to find something in commnon with the Arabs in terms of culture or way of life, but you can only dream on.

Let me disappoint you: you have more in common culture wise with Hindus your ancestors (and nothing wrong with that) than with the Arabs , and Christian Arabs have more in common with their Muslim co-citizens culture and way of life than you do my dear doctor.

Now it is your turn to pove me wrong. Good luck.

The Arabs lump you and the Hindus as: al-bakistaniyoon wa al Hunood! What can I tell you....
