I guess that's why not many people are very active on this forum, it doesn't seem to benefit anyone.

You are right, I’ve never participated in a public forum before and I mainly came here because I was thinking of moving back to Cairo and wanted to catch up. But now I am just tired of reading all these hatred posts about religion. Once I see these LONG posts of anti-(any religion), I just roll my eyes and close the whole thing. People just need to post more positive remarks about living in Egypt (esp. if you choose to live there).. this is the whole point of this forum.. right? Positive thoughts not negative!!!

I totally agree with Samia. What is wrong with these religious debates is not so much the hatred postings as the fact what people are posting is not their own words. Would there really be any point in my posting up a page of the Bible everytime someone posted up a page of the Koran.
This is part of the problem, the other part is if someone makes a valid point, the opposing side merely trashes it, sticks up a printed page of somebody elses point of view and changes the subject.
To be fair, the Christian side does seem to be prepared to enter into an intelligent debate of one sort or another, but the Moslem camp doesnt seem to have anything to say, or any personal words of their own (except abuse perhaps) and simply stick up a page out of someone elses book.
The worst offenders are people like Salama who started off the practise of searching the web for "hate" pages. We could all do that but what the point? Now, she seems to have got everybody else doing it. Charlie the Saint.

This is an offensive point of view..however I as a muslim will accept it.. and why you devide the forum to 2 camps? why not one capm..Human Camp...and let the judgement of religions..to the day of doom or the day after...Allah (God) will judge all people..now let us live as Brothers And Sisters Of one Family Parents...Adam And Eve..!!!!

Personally I think the forum was spoilt by opening a separate religious colomn. Religion is a part of day to day life and the forum was much better where religion came up as a part of another topic when it was relevant to the subject being discussed. I certainly learnt a lot more then and thought about differing opinions. Most of the time I don't even bother to look in this section now as the cut and paste mentality is so boring.

I agree Penny, which was why I made the comments I did on the "smelly husbands" thread, before it got moved to the "Religion" forum! This new forum doesn't add anything to this board, it has just opened the door for another set of problems.

Well, that didnt take long for the hate to come out did it? Anyway, you neednt bother patronising me. I am not the slightest bit interested in your pagan ideas. As for all your sentiments of love and peace you can flush that down the toilet with all the other garbage you come out with in the name of Allah. And please lmangang, just because I had a go the other day about some rubbish you came out with, you dont have to equate me with Salama the heathen. Charlie the Saint.

Well, how to get people to treat each other as human beings first and not just members of a lesser God/Religion?
Muslims in Egypt are the majority and need to take the first step in this effort to reach out to the Coptic community and other Faiths in Egypt and let them know that we can live with them under the same roof and as neighbors.
When the Israelies were shooting at the Egyptian soliders during the war, they did not distinguish between a Muslim and Copt, both were likely to receive the same Israeli Bullet.
Wakeup people, we're all Egyptians and brothers, regardless of our Religions or Political views. We just need to learn how to get along better and love and respect our differences!!

I agree with Charlie about the long 'cut and pastes' I never know what they are about, never bother to reply to them, because I can't be bothered to read them!!!

Its quite obvious the reglious forum has become a platform for Moslem Fundamentalists to spread their political agenda in the name of Allah. The do this primarily by attacking Christianity and the West in general in order to discredit everyone, and take the onus away from themselves. If they were simply to say whats good about Islam (and not whats bad about Christianity), they might stand more chance of being heard. Then people could perhaps discuss Islam in a positive way.
However, all the time religion is turned into a political agenda, its all a waste of time. One can either run away from it, ignore it, or meet it head on. Its an individual choice. There are many good Moslem people and the religion is basically good also, but the people who come here are not Moslems. Unfortunately, they seem to convince people that they are.

I think that this forum had truly affected my attitude .. Now I get pissed very easily when it comes to religion .. anyway I think I agree that we need more tolerance, but to do this we need respect first. Or so I think
