Sorry but when I smoked B&H they weren't brought into the country Illegally. I didn't have to bring the local community down by buying off a street corner from someone who most probably deals in the "harder" drugs.
Do I need to go on
What are you sorry for?
Aside from that, everything else is just conjecture. The act of consuming weed is an act in itself that most only harms the user, outside of that, it isn't much different to regular smoking in the way it may harm others around, second hand smoke and all that.
Also, illegal isn't a synonym for bad or wrong. This is something more people could do with learning and appreciating.
You really aren't doing the Muslim community any favours by coming out with such offensive statements.
I think you've taken his post out of context. He's not saying both are just, he's saying that people say one is just (the things that go on in Afghanistan) and this is the same sort of situation, so from a logical perspective, you cannot say one is unjust without accepting the the other is also unjust.
It seems to be an observation of the way people view these sort of things when it happens in another country, in that they are typically uninterested and will also typically be of the belief that everything "our boys" are doing is right and just, and that they're all heroes.
This is true, and it is the one thing the Muslim community can start to address for themselves, instead of hiding behind the cut-n-paste condemnations from the Muslim Council. I filled a whole thread with this but I still got called racist for pointing it out though
It is this difference of cultures that leave many people uneasy, and it's nothing to do with skin colour or the stealing of jerbs.
I really don't think it's a job for "the Muslim community" as such, because that's almost taking on the responsibility or blame for the actions committed by these people.
The type of people who believe this is a religious issue and ignore anything contrary don't even matter anyway, they don't want to believe anything else, probably because they are in some way mentally challenged, a trait I'm experiencing a lot these days with people.
It's incredibly rare that I come across people that aren't loons to some degree.
