At the Zoo

I dont usually let my feelings affect my judjement.

1.
a male friend of mine is a student and wanted to find a new (cheaper) room to spend his last semester in, he found a flat in which a woman is living, her husband was in jail and she needed some money, so she offered one of the flat's rooms for rent. my friend took the offer, "all of it" he saidin a silly way.
After two weeks the husband rings the door, hes out of jail, my friend opens the door, my friend gets beated everywhere because the man thought his woman is betraying him with my friend. My friend goes to hospital, the man back to jail, his woman becomes a prostitute (betraying her man ?) for money.
"Because I dont know all the facts, I think that all of them deserve it."

2.
Sometimes, and more frequently throughout this israeli war on Gaza, I do not know who is worse; The arabs (خير أمة أخرجت للناس) or the Israelis (شعب الله المختار ), this situation brings me to one conclusion; "Because I dont know all the facts, I think that all of them deserve it."

Arabs r not خير أمة أخرجت للناس.
The prophet is talking about Muslims, not Arabs. And this is a conditional statement. IF we order people to follow Islam and try to prevent them in falling in sins, then we will be The arabs (خير أمة أخرجت للناس.

Since we r not doing the condition, we dont get the result.
Hence, we r not خير أمة أخرجت للناس right now.

mmmm im totally with subzero in his comment .

on the other hand yea ALL of them -i mean us- deserve this and all whats gonna happen later , coz simply most of the Arabs are playing the betraying game either literally or through supporting the our enemy in any way ...

Subzero and Maroo :)
thanks for your comments :)
Ya I know that arabs are not خير أمة أخرجت للناس and that in fact this verse is just for a little group of muslims who lived at the time of mohammed (the past tense says alot, doesnt it?) I am just making fun of those who think they are the chosen or the best, whether muslims of jews. sadely they are killing for this foolish idea, I do not find a big difference between those and the animals who kill to survive. the only difference I see is that those use the words of God to make things look nice.
Wellcome to this humble corner

MD,

I am sorry to say that you r wrong again.

There is no past tense in this Hadetth. "Kontom" here refers to present progressive tense, that is happening and will stay as long as the condition is met.

There r many verses in Quran also use "the form" of past tense but its actually talking about something that will occur in the future.

Anyhow, I got your point. I was just curious to correct this common mistake. Forgive me.

Hello Subzero,
Dont be sorry :) its really ok if I am wrong. Anyway I know that some say its all muslims and some say its some muslims, the some-muslims idea suits me more. here is the reference

قال عمر بن الخطاب : لو شاء الله لقال " أنتم " , فكنا كلنا , ولكن قال : { كنتم } في خاصة من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم , ومن صنع مثل صنيعهم , كانوا خير أمة أخرجت للناس , يأمرون بالمعروف , وينهون عن المنكر .
