Islam has a solid tradition of aniconism i.e. opposition to reproduction of animated beings

just like Christian iconoclasts, Jews etc

however, this was usually implemented in a somehow lax manner, meaning that ancient statues, paintings etc were not systematically destroyed

nominal muslims? .. why dont u go ask them urself since they like to be in between kuffars and hold their values.

Re: Bikinis bug Ikhwan.

My post wasn't justifiying anything, i was pointing your absence of reference to much ancient and numerous looting during this era. I find it dishonest from your part to mention only Islam. Was it that hard to write "from antiquity to Islam"?

OK, Muslims destroyed many Egyptian monuments

so did Christian iconoclasts (whether Chalcedonian, non-Chalcedonian, Melkites, Nestorian etc)

so did Napoleonic troops, who conducted target practice on the Gizeh Sphynx

happy ?

Re: Bikinis bug Ikhwan.

Allah (swt) sent the prophet (saw) to destroy the idols as did Ibrahim (as).

Let the dogs bark when the idols are pulled down, it won't make any difference to the deen of Islam

the term itself explains it , does it not?

Re: Bikinis bug Ikhwan.

yes, pyramids were still there

however, many sculptures were defaced or destroyed, on the basis of aniconist prescriptions in Islam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniconism_in_Islam

Mashallah, I'd break them too if I had the chance. Who the heck wants to remember a history of complete ignorance.

no, it doesn't

are "nominal muslims" muslim, or not ?

It's not about making me happy it's about intellectual honesty. Say it all or say nothing

Say it all or say nothing

if I had to say everything which is on my mind, I would spend my life on this forum

most likely I would be banned first, however
