Living with the Enemy on SBS

[ufo_investigations]

I just watched LIVING WITH THE ENEMY on SBS.  The story about Ben the Aussie going to live with Lidia and Ahmed the muslims. Lidia is an Aussie and was raised Catholic and converted to Islam. Ahmed was born in Saudi Arabia.

What did I learn?

- Muslim women wont shake hands with a male person their not related to. (Very rude).

- When husband and wife muslims pray in their own house, the wife has to pray behind her husband. (Women are not treated as equals even in their own house).

- Christians are not allowed to visit Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Why? Because you have to be muslim to be allowed.

- Mosques can be built all over Australia but we can't build a Church in Saudi Arabia.

- The Quran tells muslims to kill people.

- In the mosque women are behind the curtain at the back. It's their own area. Why? Because the men have to be in a different section. Why? To give women privacy. This is the reason they cited. The real reason I believe is not to cause desire in the men.

- When they went shopping they visited a halal butcher to buy lamb shoulder. Ben wasn't consulted. What if he wanted pork chops?

- They went to Bondi to do an "Aussie thing called surfing". Lidia went swimming in her full Islamic clothing then when she came out of the water she placed a towel around her depicting the Australian flag.

so, what's the Catholic God's name?

Why on earth would anyone, Catholic or otherwise, feel it necessary to give God a name - unless of course they are trying to create an image of "him" in their own likeness.

You might just as well decide that electricity should be named Fred or call gravity Jemima.

Firstly, Islam  is no more regime than Cathlicism is. Both are religions. Both have rules. Both have moral codes.

exactly!! and ufo is living according to theirs

(whether you agree with it or not)

[azureline**]

of course UFO is entitled to do so.................... except that he is telling the Catholics here that we are going to hell because we don't agree with his "understanding" of the Catholic Church teachings.

where does that say it is Sharia Law?

as prescribed in the Qur'an = islamic law = sharia law

doesnt it?

Sharia law is not the same in all Islamic societies, nor do all predominantly Muslim countries follow Sharia law. 

eg: Saudi Arabia and Iran follow Sharia law for all areas of jurisprudence;

countries like Pakistan have largely secular laws, with some Islamic provisions in family law; and Turkey doesn't base its laws on the Koran.

India and the Philippines, countries with minority Muslim populations, have separate Muslim civil laws.

aren't  we talking specifically about islamic/religious dietary

requirements?

in that respect the islamic council of victoria

makes a reference to " Islamic law (Shariah)"

I have an Indonesian female friend, she is Muslim but does not follow Sharia Law.
