    How can we better the debates? Y'all are making it too complicated, folks. You can have all the rules and guidelines in the world. It's nice to read them with no ever-lasting effect. Couple of days, perhaps? Keep it simple! Follow/emulate the styles of Layth and Tay and Arnold. You rarely see them getting on the soapbox. They participate when and only it is appropriate to do so. And when and only they have something meaningful to say. And when they say something, it means something. A Fellow Freeminder

    Peace Zen, It's definitely not a screen issue. I've narrowed it down to one of 2 possibilities. Either a female snuck in dropped off her army somewhere in my basement, or there's a small gap (breach) in one of my basement windows. Tomorrow I will break out the forensic kit and crack the case. I'll keep you posted. BTW, I'm not freaked out by flies or anything. I just don't want 65 of them in my home-office. Plus, all it takes is a second for a female to impant eggs into someone's food. That's not nice. I had one land in and die my morning coffee today - only 2 sips into it elektro But, they are certainly very necessary to the ecosystem - in fact, vital. Flies are major players in the world of getting rid of rotting animal corpses. Their babies(maggots) are also used medicinally to remove rotten flesh from people without harming the good stuff - this because they ony eat the dead stuff. And of course, they are food themselves for a plethora of other insects and animals. Oh yeah, how could I forget that they carry disease on one wing, and the cure on the other, so double dip'em in your morning tea (remember that escapade??) Peace, Tay

    If thoughts of evil comes to mind then this is what we need to do, i guess if we don't then the thoughts may turn real 200- If a suggestion from Satan assail thy (mind), seek refuge with Allah; for He heareth and knoweth (all things). 201- Those who fear Allah, when a thought of evil from Satan assaults them, bring Allah to remembrance, when lo! they see (aright)! (200) (201) Salam Thank you, thank you very much, this certainly answers my question. Salam

    peace When we are asleep, although we can see what our soul contains, we cannot change it. We don't question our dreams, we accept them. We only do when we wake up, when we are conscious. Salaam I don't believe that to be true because astral projection is a fact and can be done to control the dreams i.e exit your body. You do exit your body and enter different astral plane of the universe. You can access the akashic records as The Nabi was saying which is a record of the past, present and future. A good book ive read is ASTRAL DYNAMICS by ROBERT BRUCE which goes into the methodology, details of experiences he's had and scientific explanations to it, so its a must read. I did post about astral projections before on an old topic so if anyone wants to know more just do a search or pm me. PEACE

    Fine bro, but after you prove to me that it was forbidden for brothers and sisters to marry each other from day 1 "The day Adam and his mate were sent to earth" if you can prove that, then you have a point, if not then the story will stand logical Well why didn?t he say in his fully detailed, unambiguous something like ?I now prohibit incest from my system? like he did when he was talking about food prohibitions i.e. 3/93 All food used to be lawful for the Children of Israel 5/3 Prohibited for you are animals that die of themselves, blood, the meat of pigs, and animals dedicated to other than GOD. (Animals that die of themselves include those) strangled, struck with an object, fallen from a height, gored, attacked by a wild animal - unless you save your animal before it dies - and animals sacrificed on altars. Also prohibited is dividing the meat through a game of chance; this is an abomination. Today, the disbelievers have given up concerning (the eradication of) your religion; do not fear them and fear Me instead. Today, I have completed your religion, perfected My blessing upon you, and I have decreed Submission as the religion for you. If one is forced by famine (to eat prohibited food), without being deliberately sinful, then GOD is Forgiver, Merciful. BTW I?m a girl. Peace, sugar

    Peace arnoldyasin. Excellent post mister... bravo Its all about whether our actions are harmful or beneficial in the long and short term... Look at our deeds in how they affect our positive development and that of others... How can something be a sin if nobody or nothing is harmed in the long or short term.....?

    As salamu alaykum. Respectfully. Of course, we do have to understand that those people, like 2000 or 8000 years ago were completely different than people today. Now you tell someone that you pray or read a religious book, they call you religious fanatic. back than, they only had like one book. Well, i think in Egypt they had vast libraries but i don't remember what year. ??? Today, people are too occupied with work, job has become a religion for some people, some people have made idols from money. They collect it in their tempels - yes, banks. brickwall brickwall brickwall I think there is a reference in the Qur'an that we must not let our kids or jobs occupy us. Also But when they see some bargain or some amusement, they disperse headlong to it, and leave thee standing. Say "The (blessing) from the Presence of Allah is better than any amusement or bargain! and Allah is the Best to provide (for all needs)." (Qur'an, 6211) Today, if a person prayed in the park for example, people would look at him like he or she was an alien. Or a 1000-foot-giant bee with a plan to eat the city's inhabitants and make it its hive. rotfl rotfl As salamu alaykum. jedi

    Peace I wanna help and maybe it would be better if i marry some woman who follows Qur'an alone, from countries such as Chad, Afganistan, Iraq, Chile and such countries where women suffer under the tough regimes of their countrymen. may I ask why Chile? As salamu alaykum. Respectfully. Why Chile? Why not. I mean, there are poor people also. South America is in need of help just as mich as Mid-East. I think food & Clothes & technology should be sent to South America rather then target it as a continent where the most illegal drugs come off. Chile is a beautiful country which just needs a little push towards the better future. As salamu alaykum. jedi

    Salaam brother saladin, i m already researching . you should also be . you havent made up your mind either , because sometimes you say al kitab is the Koran . then u say al kitab is "previous scriptures" , then u say that taurat and injeel are "previous scriptures" which are corrupted ... ) OK my pleasure ...btw, I understand the word Kitab from the context so don't be too surprised that "sometimes" I say A, B, C, etc ) by the way , i dont think it is the right way to understand things , because Koran uses different words for "quran", "kitab" and "taurat/injeel" . so "kitab" should not be mixed with "quran" or "taurat","injeel" etc. I think using the context is OK ...See the discussion on the meaning of salat. The context is used to "find" the meaning. But of course, it would be really interesting to research "Kitab", "quran", "taurat", and "injeel" ...

    Peace, I don't watch regular news at all and haven't for about 5 years. News to me is what affects me and those with me. I get broader event coverage by listening to learned people discuss them in detail in radio format. You often hear about more things that way than through daily television news. For example, who here knows about the tragedies going on in Turkmenistan due to the dictatorship in that country? I find satirical "comedy" style programs often have a pulse on the deeper issues also. A program on TV called "Chaser's war on everything" showed a contrast between the treatment of Westerner's vs "Islamic" people. In Australia it has become illegal to videotape or photograph sensitive locations. The story showed an 'American' tourist who was videotaping the Harbour bridge and security cameras around it - after 15 mins no response. Then a man in Arab clothes and headgear did the same thing. Within minutes security was present. At the Lucas Heights Nuclear Reactor, an 'AMerican' tourist was questioned after a few minutes and when he asked where the reactor was - ie. most sensitive areas he was guided to inside the facility and he continued videotaping! It was only after he got to the door that he was turned away! An Arab clothed and headgeared man at the same location was pounced upon and within 3 minutes there were 4 police cars with a dog squad!! It shows how deep the stereotypes are and how ridiculous these things are. As if a terrorist is going to go out in full "Islamic" gear with a video camera! Regards.
