    peace khadija1, you wrote adoption can be tough these days, though.. it can sometimes be a tedious process, and it's almost as if you are buying the kid. Absolutely right sis,and in cases similiar to that of my friend, it is very painful for the couple as well as the kid. Peace.

    there are strong arguments against the sunni as well there are strong argumensts against the hadith rejectors, we donlt really know who is right exactly being shia,sunni,etc.. doesnt make much difference, cos belief is not limited to names or to 3,4,5 prayers aday. i think this vil not be big concern on JD. these were your grounds/belief now tell wht u did?? i hv a christan born friend, we were at a bar talking n he said he doesnt belief in God and all tht has happend is cos of belief in God., subject turned into astronomy and he kept on barking no God, no God. b4 finishing his 2nd beer, he said you know what. i believe there is something who runs all this, but i wont call it God. cos God wont allow this bloodshed to happen..... and so on. forget shia/sunni. what about this guy! believer? or non believer? i think the words have little meaning to our real understandings. a mullah, an imam, a rabbi, a father, a monk, etc. = humans, and humans all know what is right or wrong and for what wrong we didnt knew, we wont be questioned for tht. we better start saving our asses before JD. instead of proving others wrong. i have read many good articles but at some point they say 'those wrong xyz said so' but this is right. i cant understand why ppl of so much knowledge and understanding do make these miskates of using insultive words instead of comparative work. sure bro, that is why I read all opinions and only comment for the ones I'm inteested in, there is many other comments that i have a lot to say but i chose not to minimise the amount of arguing and what i meant by my comment above that it seems to me both have valid points "the hadith rejectors and the hadith followers" it is hard to be find out which one is 100% right that is why following a fine line in between is the safest act should be taken by a submitter peace be with you

    Do u believe bush will even be bothered by these vote results ? No. He needs every cent he can get his hands on to fund his wars. Bush, in markedly lighter remarks than the singer, praised him as ?a doer? but didn?t comment on his proposal. roll

    Shalat is daily rituism that happen as it was, as Ibrahim taught by Allah. Not necessarily done only after bargaining between Muhammad and God. Muhammad was very faithful what instructed was done as it was. Only absurdity telling the lies that Muhammad was getting shalat instruction by ascending outerspace. His shalat like ours was "kama shalaita 'ala Ibrahim", was perfectfully like Ibrahim's prayer. The current Islam was fully invented stories, which diverses Muslim from the aim to establish Allah's deen on earth, to be simple rituism.

    Peace be upon you, you know cow dung can be rich... It is also WASTE MATTER and STINKS, so I would disagree with using that as a metaphor for "rich", especially when we have something as fantastic as SOIL

    "Take care that we lose not that salvation, that life and breath which thou hast given us, for thou art our shepherd, thou art our physician, thou art our governor, thou art our husbandman, thou art finally another God on earth." Christopher Marcellus in Oration addressing Pope Julius II, in Fifth Lateran Council, Session IV (1512), Council Edition. Colm. Agrip. 1618, (Sacrorum Conciliorum, J.D. Mansi (ed.), Vol. 32, col. 761), (also quoted in History of the Councils, vol. XIV, col 109, by Labbe and Cossart). "To believe that our Lord God the Pope has not the power to decree as he is decreed, is to be deemed heretical." The Gloss of Extravagantes of Pope John XXII, Cum. Inter, title 14, chapter 4, "Ad Callem Sexti Decretalium", Column 140, Paris, 1685. (In an Antwerp edition of the Extravagantes, the words, "Dominum Deum Nostrum Papam" (?Our Lord God the Pope?) can be found in column 153). Just those first 2 quotes is enough for me to see that they believe the Pope is a god....Im not saying that all Catholics believe this, I know some that just see him as a represenitive of God,its a shame that alot of them dont realise their own church believes this...but that goes for alot of religions.

    Not it is not a myth at all. Look around you, the symbols of druidism is everywhere. Ask yourself why, as these lodges claims to be christian. as for the center, that is the circle you stand in. symbolised throughout the world as the sun ring with a spot inside. the spot being you in the rituals. take a look at Manley p. Hall?s schoolarship, altho he doesnt make the druid link too obvious he make it known. Thanks Magi, You are right, thats how i feel here in Europe, when all these monsters look at me from the buildings. Do you read David Icke's books? Yes i am familiar with Icke?s work. But im unimpressed with the fact that he pretty much stole the schoolarship of Jordan Maxwell, and progressed on to creating his own new age relegion with it. EVERYTHING that Icke is talking about he stole 11 from maxwell, and then later added his own spiritual hoolabaloo. That said, i very much enjoy Ickes lectures. He is a ball of energy, and it is clear that he beliefes in what he has to say, wich make a hell of a difference on a lecturer. Icke is the european branch manager of conspiracy stuff from the US from the 60and 70?s. Where much of it is valid, a lot of it is wishfull thinking on his behalf. Altso i think it is bullshit that he doesnt go more into catholicism, and its pagan origin and influence on even the modern world through shady banking deals. Why does he take a swing at the sun theology, but not the biggest advertiser for it ever known to man. the vatican?.

    Peace heart. I dont believe that this girl is condeming true 'islam',she is reacting to injustice/harm inflicted on her which is identified with islam. Lets look beyond labels and to reality. If certain varieties of 'islam' mean oppressing your wife and others then this is not going to be looked upon as a good system. We should remember that 'decent' islam should not cause harm and oppression but should try to make peace. Peace. Peace Enquirer, I agree with what you're saying. I don't think that girl knows what true islam is and that's why she's condeming 'islam' of the oppressive 'muslim' men. Maybe if she knew what real islam was/is she wouldn't choose for the Hindu lifestyle.

    Peace be upon you Enquirer, Thank you, but I do not take credit for either post, it is just information I have been taught by others. In any case, I urge you to take this and seriously reflect on it in regards to your life. (all of us) It is really amazing in my opinion. Many people ruin thier lives because an event happens, for example, someone looks at them the wrong way and the subconscious throws up the thoughts and images that we have ingrained in our spirit from movies, Tv, etc and next thing we know, we are in jail for murder. Thats an extreme example, but has happenned many, many times. We respond the way we do based on how we have seen our parents respond, neighbors respond, etc. We have to REPROGRAM ourselves, and the television PROGRAM is not the answer. This is why those who enter hell will respond "we were not of those who programmed(salaa)."

    I think the bad/sin we do are not part of the system, but problems created by us within the system. Peace bmbmm, I agree with the last part of your sentence. But sin is definately a part of the system, (the universe in which we live). God's system is such that, if I shoot somebody with a gun, they die. The weapon, the bullet that pierces the flesh, the mortal damage it causes inside the person's body, the pain they feel and their consequent death are all creations within God's system. To put it another way, God has made it possible in this world for pain, suffering, death and other "bad" things to occur. But when I pull the trigger, it is not God that pulls the trigger, but I. So when I commit this act, it is "bad" and I am responsible. Notwithstanding, everything is in accordance with God's will, and my actions are part of God's overall plan. You might like to read chapter 1860 through to 1882 for an excellent story about God's "hand" in matters, (God's will) and the explanation for the things we do not understand about God's will.

    Peace The station is continuous. The people of America today are not the people of America of old. An envoy sent in 1796 is for that people and the other in 1893 is for that people. Joe This is correct in my opinion. Think about America today; no one alive in 1880 is around now, and vice versa so the two nations are very different from each other. The real "problem" is when people can't understand that the nature of 'warners' to every nation is ongoing. The traditionists close the door in the Middle East ca. 700 CE when the nature of warning people is ongoing and continues to this day. Peace.
