Dawoodi Bohra Forum

I'm sure mazzon's children have accepted salam covers and ziyafat money as well. Don't think of them as being nay better due to their education and their ability to stay out of the spotlight. If they want to prove that they're any better than the current regime, let them act on their promises and ba...

I'm sure you can all understand what the stupid godless moron understands, right? Even I understand 1+1=2. Do any of you? You're all obviously very smart people. I enjoy reading your arguments here, because that type of dialogue is completely absent from most religious talk in your community. Use th...

Good day y'all. It's so refreshing to see mazun sahib (TUS) speak out against the high taxes mercilessly levied against the community. I mean, I think we've all been waiting for someone to finally speak out against the tyranny of the current administration. But you know what gets to me? Mazun has be...

And in the "Murder, Death, Kill" paragraph (surprisingly, I only used "kill" in that paragraph), I obviously didn't mean any of that literally. It's pretty clear that I was exaggerating to shine some light on (what I believe to be) the true colors of this new dai. You have been f...

Funny that you take shots at my intellect, yet you believe the crap that the leader of the Dawoodi Bohra community throw at you. Of course I'm an atheist. I'm on this forum because I was a member of the Dawoodi Bohra community, but the incessant corruption and ridiculous stories (talking horses? who...

DB_Londoner I don't have any respect for education? Hah! Have you read any of my previous posts on other topics? I wasn't taking shots at education, or at any of the prestigious schools I mentioned. As an atheist, I think that education is the only way to avoid being told what to believe. I was tryi...

... I guess I'm not very good at making things clear.

I'l just let someone else explain...

You say your religion is Islam. Only, I don't think it's Islam that you adhere to right now. I'm not an expert on Islam, but from what I've derived from this forum, the stuff that the Dawoodi Bohra Dai(s) preach is NOT Islam. I'd think that an Abrahamic religion would place God at the top of the hie...

Sikander: From where have you been instilled with the erroneous notion that "Sayadna Khozema Blah Blah Blah Blah" is going to live humbly? I can promise you that while he may suffer through the act of living humbly for a couple of years, eventually, he's gonna be on board with everything t...

You FOOLS! Are you guys seriously going to go from one evil tot he next? Have you learned nothing over the last few decades? How gullible are you people, to believe the promises the former mazun sahib makes on his website? I read the education and finances part, and I almost choked over my food. Loo...

"Forced slavery".... redundant statement .

I'm sure you understand why they do this; it keeps the phrases fresh in the mind. They can't have people forgetting about how important the figurehead is, or the sense of infallibility may eventually erode.

^just my two cents

It's a false rumor that's spread around. No truth to it.

Well then I guess there's little parallel between being a decent person and being a devout adherent to a religion (assuming you ACTUALLY follow what is mandated in the Quran- that is, in this case, resenting homosexuals). I guess I'll have to let Allah know that before he puts me in hell, right badr...

See! A homosexual member of your community has openly admitted to being afraid of coming out due to religious and social constrains. The religion promotes hate of homosexuals, and as a result, this person isn't allowed to be himself. He may very well live his entire life undercover, unable to expres...

SMB- I have studied something similar to your alcoholism example. Some criminals are simply born with a higher chance of becoming a criminal. An example of this is the antisocial disorder- brain scans of peoples with this disorder have shown that there is something awry in their brains; the person w...

Zinger- That is a question that you'll need answered by someone qualified. I'm not sure if a higher percentage of homosexual people are born to a homosexual father mating with a heterosexual woman. It's an interesting question though; if there is a correlation, it might insinuate that there is a gen...

With regards to the studies/scientific theories I am constructing my argument upon: I am not a researcher, so I cannot tell you that the conclusion I draw are necessarily true. I am drawing my knowledge from reputable sources online. I believe that homosexuality is probably induced by the environmen...

There are scientists who devote their lives towards research of these animals. Have you heard of Jane Goodall?She has devoted so much of her time towards the study of apes- these researchers don't simply conduct superficial studies. There are many which have been written by information acquired over...

Who are those scientists? They're scientists who publish a science magazine for Yale. If you haven't heard of it, it's a university usually regarded as among the world's best. The authors of that magazine are intellectual powerhouses. The behavior of animals (Giraffes entwining necks) is not synonym...

http://www.yalescientific.org/2012/03/do-animals-exhibit-homosexuality/ Result of a quick google search. As far as the fact that homosexuality doesn't produce offspring, there is mention of a paradox involving that matter addressed on several sites. I can't give you an explanation that would be bett...

I doubt that religion was actively "created" by people. Ancient peoples probably didn't gather around a table and decide to create a religion that dictated how people should live life. The earliest peoples expressed their beliefs on mediums such as in their caves, where they created images...

Homosexuality is not a sin. Hell, I don't even care if it is condemned in most religious texts. Homosexuality is not necessarily a choice; it is seen throughout nature in animals, not just in humans. Conservative religious bigots crack down on homosexuality are vermin. They impede societal progress ...

Before someone replies with an idiotically irrational answer.... They need to set up the additional space to accommodate the thousands of people who are going to show up..... if these weren't constructed, there wouldn't be nearly enough space. And I'm sure that the funds needed to construct the addi...

Ha! "Lie million times" and they'll believe it to be true? How about lie once and they'll believe it to be true. Fools. They must all be taught a lesson. Modern society favors those who can make money, so no one with influence will act on these disgusting actions. What a messed up place. Y...

Great, so you've provided several ayats to back your stance. Now tell me why the "science" presented in the Quran has more merit than the "science" listed in the bible or the Torah. In fact, why should we believe the science in the Quran to be any more accurate than the science p...

PROVE that the Apollo missions were staged.
PROVE that "western science" doesn't believe there to be any physical composition of the sky.
PROVE that anything I have cited above is fallacious.

I beg you PROVE IT!

Haha you guys sound very similar to the defenders of the administration now. When you can't logically disprove/ prove something, you immediately transition from Quranic Aya to a borderline ad hominem argument. I'd like to accentuate the fact that you haven't provided a single logical claim to discre...

http://nova.stanford.edu/projects/mod-x/id-pres.html Here. You can play your vaguely stated evidence against the facts presented above. If you still don't want to see the truth, don't argue with me... Go argue with physics post-docs at Stanford, or any other university. Or even a 10 year old (non bo...

Go read a science texbook meant for small children. You are so misinformed. The sky is matter, it is a mixture of several gasses, prevalently N2 and O2 (nitrogen+oxygen). This air mass has a significantly high pressure- we are not aware of it due evolution. Our bodies have grown used to the conditio...
