Again, this depends on your definition of observe. If you are being kicked in teh face are you observing this or experiencing it? Are you observing the pain when you think "DAMN THIS SHIT HURTS!" or are you experiencing the pain when you say "DAMN THAT SHIT HURTS!"
Who says you learn from what you observe or experience? What is learned is left to the individual, and I destroyed this position earlier. Not all people learn from what they experience or observe. Listen, if a crackhead spends all her money on blow where is the learning? Yes, she has learned that smoking crack feels good, but has she learned that smoking crack destroys her body and that she needs food? If so why is she STILL on crack?
Listen, you are begining to sound like a fool. You want answers, but the next thing you'll be doing is crying about how you can't express yourself. If I believe something is WRONG I have NO BUSINESS subjecting YOU to that SAME wrong. Do you understand this? It is a very SIMPLE concept that doesn't require much thought. Please, if you do not understand the definition of hypocrisy that has been provided, give us a reason to defer to and present a new one.
If they are just minding their business selling alcohol they are VIOLATING what they say is in teh quran. They are VIOLATING what they say is PERFECT and should be accepted by ALL. Now please grow up and stop sounding like a retard with the same questions flipped every which way. Also, STOP restricting my argument to ALCOHOL. I said these stores carry at LEAST two products, and I listed the products as tobacco, porn and pork products.
You lost yourself. Everyone here with a working brain are able to comprehend what is being typed. If you can't comprehend stop wasting my time by asking questions. Go read a book on critical thinking or something.
Explain to me why one CAN'T be sinner and not a hypocrite? Are you dumb? Seriously are you dumb? Did you not read the questions I asked in response to you smoking weed? IF YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF SIN, BUT YOU COMMIT A SINFUL ACT, THAT IS *NOT* HYPOCRISY. Stop licking the window and pay attention damn it. In fact just stop asking questions and READ what is posted instead of trying to sound smart or get your point across. Go back and READ my response to your weed smoking tangent.
Why can't you comprehend what has been posted. Do you think the above quote makes ANY sense? If so explain it. If the seller BELIEVES (he can profess this to the world or keep it to himself) that islam is the CORRECT religion for all he is a HYPOCRITE if he sells alcohol, pork products, tobacco and porn to muslims and non-muslims alike, because these things go AGAINST islam. THE FACT THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE MUSLIMS IS *PROOF* THAT THEY BELIEVE ISLAM IS THE CORRECT RELIGION!!!
Before you say I am contradicting my previous statement read them both again and apply them to yourself. You must understand the difference between Sin and KNOWINGLY/LIVING in sin.
The only thing I want to stop you from doing is not reading before you reply.
I understand your position, and I already said one should NOT compromise ones faith for monetary gain. See you comprehend what I am saying, but hemp keeps going on and on about nothing.
The 90% number comes from Zachary Twist (a muslim and organizer for Muslims for a Healthy Community) and has yet to be disputed by anyone else. If you dispute this number please provide your alternate and tell us why this mans number was wrong.
Yes, they could be mistaken for people who are IGNORANT, however I seriously doubt that a muslim would have a problem distinguishing non-muslims from muslims, and it was a muslim who provided that number in the first place.
So?
Why is this even an issue? How can you say you "don't think a significant percentage of the overall muslim popuplation" owns liquor stores when WE DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MANY MUSLIMS ARE IN AMERICA?!?!?!?! You have NO grounds for your belief other than your PERSONAL knowledge of muslims that live close to you. Are you telling me you know EVERY liquor store owner in marin county?
Again, what is your point? NO ONE IS ARGUING THAT MOST MUSLIMS OWN LIQUOR STORES. I AM ARGUING THAT MOST LIQUOR STORES IN OAKLAND ARE OWNED BY MUSLIMS! DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE?
You are arguing a point that NO ONE ELSE but yourself finds remotely important. What is more important here:
A. Muslim liquor store owners make up a small percentage of the population
B. The majority of liquor stores are owned by muslims
If you choose A you are arguing a point that has no place in our discussion, because I NEVER said a large amount of the muslim population owned liquor stores.
If you choose B you wasted time and bandwidth by previously mentioning marin county and everything else pertaining to the muslim population.
