His replies are..... illuminating, really.
We don't already know that a conservative believer in an Abramic religion would be anti-gay, patriarchal, etc?

Your words. Illuminating... as in telling us something we didn't already know.

I want your questions, for which I'll get answers. This is a fantastic opportunity because this guy is non-denominational, so he is much more representative than those belonging to a particular denomination.Originally posted by Arrian

What do you want, aneeshm? A bunch of posts declaring that Islam is bad (and, ergo, Hindus for the win!)?

Oh, and I forgot to mention - he puts USA in his location field.Comment

If I have a question I want this poster to answer, I can ask it myself. I'm registered over at CFC.
As for location field... heh, that's not necessarily reliable either. Not that it matters much.
Go forth and engage him in thoughtful dialogue about the Muslim conquest/rape of India.

Representative in what sense ? For std muslims or crazy religious zealots ?Originally posted by aneeshm

Representative of the orthodox religion's stand. He represents none but himself, but in that he represents his religion. What I like is his textual quoting ability - he backs up everything he says with some of the other quote from the Quran or Hadith. The guy seems to know a lot about the primary religious sources.Originally posted by BlackCat

Geez, I get upset about demolished Temples too. Take Temple Emanuel on 14th Avenue in Brooklyn. Theyve torn it down for condos. I couldnt even stand to walk by. It was a Conservative shul, and it was THE shul in Borough Park - biggest, most prestigious, what have you. But now with the Jewish pop in the area almost 100% Orthodox, they really couldnt make a go of it anymore. But still it was a beautiful circa 1905 building, and it shoulda been landmarked. But I dont suppose anyone cared, and not only the congregation that wanted to sell (where DID the money go?) but the local community that wants housing and cant do much with a old big C shul (hard to convert it to an Ultra-O shul given different worship styles and community organization customs) would have opposed landmark status.Originally posted by aneeshm

Just to get a broader view of him, you could at the same time ask him about his opinion on mosques destroyed by hindusOriginally posted by aneeshm

Incidently, aneeshm, you must not have been paying very close attention to what this poster has to say: the very first post indicates that "he" is a she.
Further, she describes herself as a secularist right off the bat. The thread is long, though... dunno how much of it I will wade through.
