LeMaquis Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 considering the news report on this has the headline "London Metropolitan University mulls alcohol ban for 'conservative Muslim students'" its perfectly acceptable to take that on face value. So accusing someone of spreading misinformation is a tad harsh. That depends on whether the person(s) highlighting the news reports knows whether they're accurate or not. There's so much rubbish in the papers that someone could put up a post entitled World War 2 Bomber Found On Moon and claim the Sport's article was irrefutable evidence because it's in the papers. Anyone quoting an article from the Mail, Sun, Express, etc, is usually a right-wing nutter looking to have their prejudices confirmed regardless of the truth. Or they seriously do believe that Prince Philip had Diana bumped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rand Hobart Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I didn't know that they couldn't go where alcohol was being sold. Is it against their religion to be near alcohol then? I assumed they could just go there and drink soft drinks like any other teetotaler. How do they cope when they are selling it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed they could just go there and drink soft drinks like any other teetotaler. How do they cope when they are selling it? They can go where it is being sold as far as I know (as long as they're not involved with the selling, drinking or profit from it). They shouldn't be selling it according to the hadith, technically selling it is unIslamic as far as I can tell. Plain Talker may be able to clarify more, she seems to be the most knowledgeable on these forums regarding Islam in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Bourne Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Bah, who dragged up this old thread? I thought it was dead and buried and all it seems is people re-going over old ground and opinions. Welcome to Sheffield, the city of the future No doubt I'll see you on here in another six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Bourne Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Or they seriously do believe that Prince Philip had Diana bumped off. I do think he's one of the lizard people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quisquose Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I do think he's one of the lizard people. Question on The Million Pound Drop this weekend: Which of these members of the royal family is worshipped as a god by some South Pacific islanders? Prince Philip Prince Charles Prince William Prince Harry Watching the contestants spread their money over the last three, and left Prince Philip free, left me quite concerned about the general knowledge of our youngsters these days.
