If banning alcohol, enforcing religion and suppressing freedoms in the name of religion would actually make us happy, then why aren’t Saudi’s happier than Bahraini’s?. The myth that suggests that happiness correlates with religion (as in the more religious the people, the happier they are) have been busted since forever. We have to look around us and understand that we are not a bunch of goat herders living in medieval times, we now live in a global world, where nations interact with each other and people from all around the world travel all over.

We cannot ban them from exercising their rights, and then expect them to give us freedom to do what we wish to practice from religious and cultural activities that might collide with their beliefs.

I currently live in Australia, and I have the right to practice my religion and my cultural and personal freedom are granted to me without questioning. How can we enforce a law that limits the rights of most of the people in the world when they visit our country and then expect them to grant us our freedoms in their countries. As an example, if we don’t allow them to consume alcohol here, why should they let us build the mosque in their countries, consume Halal food in their countries? why should they allow us to take days off work for Eid or Hajj if we ask for a work leave under religious occasions.

Enforcing religion comes from the heart, if a person refrains from an activity from his heart, then that is faith, but if a person wishes to consume alcohol, but cant find it, well, (Ina al a3mal belneyat).

If we don’t step up for our freedoms, even the freedoms we do not exercise, then tomorrow they will step all over the freedoms that I do exercise and no one will stand up for me.

Banning alcohol would hurt Bahrain economically since Bahrain has a reputation of being one of the more liberal countries in the region. Banning alcohol would lead to an exodus of expats from Bahrain, and a huge decrease in tourism (Saudi’s etc. . .). With our limited supply of oil, we are need of this variation in the country’s income in the long run.

I am going to first and foremost address the first issue, which is the fact that the removal of religion has made us weak.

I thought this discussion was about interdicting alcohol in Bahrain. I guess this discussion has advanced quite impressively. At the end of the day i guess all discussions come down to religion.

The removal of religion HAS NOT MADE US WEAK! People die everyday effing day cause they believe that their religion is the right one. Sadly, it has created a divide in a tiny nation like bahrain.

Now lets get back to discussing alcohol. haha

Hussain,

There are several things that strike me about your response; the first one is that you seem genuine in your response in the care the care and time you choose to present it. I would agree with some of the generalities you have talked about, but my overall response is WOW and too wonder about your age and exposure to this global experience you talk about.

“What we need to all recognise, if we go back to our basics, see each other us brothers, and stand together, then no system can hold us down. this is because the system relise on you not realising that they need you more than you need them.”

Well there is alot to say about the system including your own and the learned scholars who are not above breaking the rules to sell something to make a buck or gain more control. Rather your statement reminds me more about the civil rights movement here in America. Americans supported it because they saw black people as Americans; you seem to have this Muslim against the world mentality being stomped on but just let us get our shot and will stomp all over “them”. Sorry, your version of the Muslim religion/world just lost my vote.

Hang in there and keep THINKING and engaging people…all peoples.

Hussain,
I am in danger of triggering Mahmood into critising me for not debating but for only being sarcastic but I can not help it. I will take the risk.

There is nothing in your response that deserves a response. Nothing. You have not even answered Mahmood’s question.

To help you in your deliberations and to get a view from the opposing camp, which I certainly advise you to do, you may find it useful to read an article by Andrew Stunich entitled; Islam Caused Islamic World’s Decline on the following link;

Dood luck.
