simple1 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) As there are so many negative posts regarding Muslims I thought it time to post the brief factual story below. I live in the Muslim area of Pattaya. My wife has informed me about an elderly guy from Iceland who lives in a low cost rental in a Soi that except for him, is solely populated by Thai Muslims. The local Thai Muslim community like him as he is polite and friendly. The community keep an eye out for him, invite him to share their evening meals, transport him to the beach for free as he enjoys people watching. He doesn't have a Thai GF, just enjoys living peacefully in Thailand. Edited September 12, 2012 by simple1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescollister Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 They may just be good people, that does not make them good Muslims. Just as good people who are Christen help people, but to be good Muslims or Christians stoning etc is not needed. Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly consider themselves Muslims and don't stone people to death, nor attack non believers etc etc There are extremist elements in all religions.

Can except that there are good people who live in a culture, that dictates rules to live by. that does not make you a true believer, it makes you a follower of the latest trends. These people would be attacked in parts of the world as none believers. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post driedmango Posted September 12, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2012 Really the vast majority of Muslims are normal people and their religion isn't something that gets in the way of that whatsoever. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
