Indian American Parade Faces Accusations of Anti-Muslim Bigotry

2 years ago by Allah to c/news

An organization representing Indian Muslim Americans canceled its participation and withdrew its float from the yearly India Day Parade held in New York City over the inclusion of a float that celebrates a highly controversial, recently built Hindu temple, which is being criticized for showing anti-Muslim bias and bigotry.

now, anyone wants to talk about how many times do muslims curse non-muslims (and that too idol worshipers) in their daily 5 prayers?

sorry can't do that

now, anyone wants to talk about how many times do muslims curse non-muslims (and that too idol worshipers) in their daily 5 prayers?

I'm pretty sure the answer is zero.

The 5 daily prayers (called salah) follow a script, and none of it involves cursing non-Muslims.

(Salah is different from dua, a form of prayer where a Muslim requests something from God. That doesn't follow a script.)

salah involves surat al fatihah followed by either quls or in many cases baqarah

here is what baqarah says about non-muslims

"For disbelievers is a painful doom." 2:104 Allah will make disbelievers' lives miserable in this world and torture them forever after they die. 2:114 They will not emerge from the Fire. 2:167 Disbelievers worship false gods. The will burn forever in the Fire. 2:257 Apostates will be cursed by Allah, angels, and men. They will have a painful doom. 3:86-88

and this is barely touching the rest,

here is the short 5 prayers you can see for yourself

No one is reciting surah baqarah in daily prayers you dope, its so long that it would make prayers a multi hour long affair. At least try to come up with better lies when you try to slander a group of people

did you even check the link i submited ? surat al baqrah is not the only one that calls out for violence

Surah 63 condemns “hypocrites,” those who have renounced their Muslim faith. “They are the enemy. Guard yourself against them.”

Where is the call for violence?

The surah you linked is about how a dude and his wife will burn in hell, and how there wealth won't save them.

Guarding yourself doesn't have to be violent.

And you know off the top of your head the chapter and verse of a random ayat recited by your imam (in Arabic)?

Also, you seem rather negative about Islam for a person who attends asr prayers.

Why do you post random ayats that no one would usually say in prayer?

Why are you posting ayats without the proper contexts, almost like you trying to misconstrue the meaning of things?
