THIS MAN DESERVES A NOBEL PRIZE

[union]

This is the first sane Arab Islamic scholar I've come across on the web. I am pleasantly surprised!!

By Al Arabiya


A prominent Kuwaiti scholar and popular TV talk show host reiterated his belief that freedom must come before Sharia.

Tariq al-Suwaidan, who is head of the Kuwait-based Al-Risala TV station, and has his own TV program, was speaking at the al-Nahdha conference for a graduates association in Kuwait on Saturday when he said “If Islamists start to become tyrants in the countries that were hit by the Arab Spring, we will revolt against them just like we did against their predecessors.”

“Freedom is a holy right and is one of the principles in Islam ... Freedom is to do and say what a person wishes but in a polite manner and without hurting others.”

Suwaidan who was later defensive over his remarks, took to his Twitter page and wrote: “I gave the same lecture three years ago, and [my views] do not represent the views the graduates association or the al-Nahdha Conference, but are my beliefs.”

The scholar, who said that it was liberals who eradicated slavery in Islam and not the Islamists, added, “a human being is free in his movements and where he wants to belong, and convictions are what move people, and not force...”

Suwaidan has spoken before on freedom coming before Sharia on his TV program three years ago and was reiterating his belief.

He also questioned how Muslims shun Christian missionaries in their countries while Christians allow Muslims to propagate Islam on their lands.

He also expressed his disdain on not allowing churches to be built in some Muslim countries.

I am self professed cafeteria Muslim (picker and chooser), in politics I am neither a liberal or conservative.

“Freedom is a holy right and is one of the principles in Islam ... Freedom is to do and say what a person wishes but in a polite manner and without hurting others.”

Doofaar union is spiting in the wind in his desperation.

You and the Sheikh are confusing American/western Freedom which is no different than that of the beast with freedom in Islam. There is freedom in Islam, but up to a point because everything has its limit and the same applies in human beings. And that's where the glorious Qur'an and the teachings of of our prophet come in. Animals are not accountable for their actions but we are and when the time comes every person will have to answer for their actions.

You gather all the scholars for dollars all you want but it will never help your case. A time will come when you will be asked to answer for going on all four.

You focking bandit!

Al Qadea faggot, scholars for dollars are certainly better than bombs for virgins sheiks

[samadoon-waaxid]

the good sheikh was advocating for freedom of religion,and other freedoms sanctioned by Sharia.Not the freedom of twinkie boys to suckle each other on broadway that Union advocates for.
p.s:there r tons of shiekhs that call for the same thing that tariq suweydan is calling for.

[union]

No there aren't "tons of sheiks" who call for freedom you dumbass, in fact just recently the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia said all Churches in the Middle East should be destroyed.

[LaY-D_LicK]

Hmm Why do I get the feeling unions not a muslim?

[ZubeirAwal]

Yes that's the way, Shari'a must not be forced on people, just as religion shouldn't be, prophet muhammad (saw) people became muslim because of his character, Indonesia, the first muslims who went there went there with books and today it is the worlds largest muslim country with over 200+ million muslims living it.
Freedom and rights for civilians should always be at hand and respected.


AB.
