So I know most of you guys on here adhere to the Islamic faith and particularly the Sunni sect of Islam. But I've noticed that not every Somali on this forum has the same stance on Islam or religion in general since their are other Somalis who've spoken about this topic. I just wanted to ask the Muslims a question...
Do you respect other religions?
I've seen on this forum people who mock and poke fun of Jews, Rastafarians, Shias, Christians, and even Scientologists for thinking differently or having beliefs that are thought by the consensus of people here to be "bizarre." I find this to be hypocritical because Muslims fail to acknowledge that they too believe in things that would be considered ridiculous such as Jinns and black magic.
There is even a (authentic) hadith that talks about how the Islamic Prophet Muhammad flew from Mecca to Jerusalem on a winged donkey accompanied by an Angel named Gabriel. So I think everyone is capable of stupid thinking and it's best if that we see these things for what they are, but more important not put down thesemyths beliefs and instead try your best to convince the other side why they are wrong.
