A not so recent post on ATP received an interesting array of comments – raising an important question:

What is Islamic and What is unIslamic – and who gets to make that definition. this is really not a new discussion. But what i’d like to know is if there are certain actions of beliefs thats can qualify Islam Neutral?

gone are the days of men of principle and ideology and leaders fighting for the deprived.

hatred (against a man or a system) isnt enough to sustain a revolution. We are united against dictatorship and poverty and corruption and greed and military intervention. But the question is not what we will stand against, its what will we stand for?

PS: the answer is not democracy, the answer isnt Islam.

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. the answer is blowing in the wind.

In no way implying that she intentionally had her people killed – but is a hundred odd dead people any price to pay compared to the grand show, millions dancing in the streets?
