Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Actually there's more muslims in eastern Asia than there is in the middle east.. So in your thinking Allah shouldn't even have brown skin..

As for red hair how little you know.. Can I suggest that you google red hair and allah someday

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Red is the preferred dyeing colour in Islam. It is reported that the Prophet Muhammad used to dye his hair red using Henna.

So can you clarify what you meant by "red hair is seen as a gift from allah"?
is it not people born with red hair?

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Actually no, Muhammad's reported to have had red hair and that it was a gift from the gods, You seem to have coddled together a lot of links and put 1+1 together and got 3.14159265 (as usual) :rolleyes:

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Kymmy it would help if you were to offer links. debating with you would be so much more normal then. :rolleyes: :)

I quite fancy a pie specially if its apple or steak but not the 2 mixed mmmm :D

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

As a muslim I didn't even know that? I'm not too sure on the accuracy of what you are saying.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

I'm not saying that he did or didn't dye it, what I'm saying is that to come out with a statement that he dyed his hair with Henna and then to provide links to henna, hair dying and a seperate wiki link about him that doesn't indicate that he did use henna doesn't prove the statement. ;)

Red hair isn't unknown in the middle east region mainly due to arabic trade which extended throughout the med and also down the east coast of africa and as such there are ethnic mixtures.

But and most importantly I'm wondering what this has to do with Burkha's or has Gary been reading to much into the eternal fight between redhair, mohammed and the celebraties as detailed in the latest two words of fact known as southpark after my single light hearted comment about red hair being seen as a gift from god??? :D:D:D

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

LOL you started with the facts about red hair being a gift from Allah. and the link to Henna was a plant not the company :D

I don't watch Southpark.
so red hair isn't a gift from Allah then? :rolleyes: :)

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

No idea, I will let you know though if Allah pops up one day and tells me if the "seems" comment was correct or not (though might not be able to provide a link though I might draw a cartoon based on it)

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Oh. you was joking. I've been running around trying to find it all on Google for nothing then :)

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

This thread is pretty pointless now tho.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

It was ok till we got the bit about red hair :)

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

No, wasn't joking, just making a comment (a bit like the bible and Quran) based on stories/rumours from long dead third parties about what someone between 1600 to 2000 years ago actually looked like..

Best interpretaion though on muhammeds appearance is http://www.inthenameofallah.org/Muha...ppearance.html but again you are getting a translation from an interpretation taken from perhaps a dozen other interpretations ;)

Now boys and girls, back on the Burkha topic ;)

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Blonde hair is considered lucky.
My sister and I often had people place their hand on our heads and compliment our parents.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Discussed that with my gf yesterday evening.
If the slits were small enough to restrict vision, and one would expect the police to test this rather than just fining her on an opinion (similarly our cops test the darkness of tinted windows rather than just working on an opinion that they are too dark), then a fine of £18 is suitable imho.
Of course if it was more like the image provided by the heliograph to remind it's readers what a burkha can look like, then that's another matter.
Of course there is no racism in France, they know this because they've never found any, and as they've never found any, looking for racism would be a waste of time and resources. Bit like BSE ;)
