    Imagine if religions did not exist at all then those things wouldn't happen. However to say that Islam is the only religion responsible is very moronic. All religions are terrible. Lots of people say that. Wouldn't humans in their lust for resources find any other excuses to bolster war? They would kill each other over hair color tints as well. This knowledge comes from actually observing human beings, it is not to dissimilar from cats, who also fight territorial battles and harm one another, even slapping the backs of other cats heads when they are not looking.

    Peace dear readers, Hopefully you have finished studying the following 2 books to learn about basics of day trading and to familiarize yourself with various terminologies and concepts. http//www.forexfactory.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=822302&d=1320297242 https//books.google.com/books?id=x3_iUt43xt8C&pg=PP4&source=gbs_selected_pages&hl=en#v=onepage&q&f=false Basically there are only 3 day trading strategies Breakout or Momentum trading. Retracement or Pullback trading. Reversal trading. RANGE BREAKOUT AND RETRACEMENT TRADING My day trading system is based on a fusion of breakout and retracement strategies. The entry point is after stock price goes above or breaks out above resistance or goes below or breaks down below support. The biggest weakness of breakout trading is fake breakout or false breakout or "fakeout" which occurs about 50-60% of the time. My system uses some clever techniques based on volume and volatility to avoid most of the fake breakouts, thereby reducing the likelihood of entering the trade in a fake breakout to less than 50% and putting the odds in our favor by greater than 50%. This is followed by identifying a low risk entry point after a confirmed breakout, and incorporating money management strategies, which improves the odds to about 60-80% in our favor if done properly. Your next homework is to study the following free information to understand the concept of breakout trading. This information will make it easier to understand my day trading system. Please do not buy or subscribe to anything if advertised in these links; just understand the concepts http//www.stockchartpatterns.org/Stock-Breakout-Profits-System.pdf http//www.hardrightedge.com/tactics/breakouts/falsebreakouts.htm http//www.tradewithprecision.com/files/Coverstory.pdf https//m.youtube.com/watch?v=b0bPL00SyCY https//m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q07u9gszyGA https//m.youtube.com/watch?v=b2wl4OTwaFg http//wealthv.com/articles/PDFs/TradingThe10OclockBulls.pdf http//www.marketgauge.com/open-ebook/TheOpeningRangeHandbook-Part1.pdf http//www.investopedia.com/articles/trading/10/3-reasons-not-to-trade-range-breakouts.asp My system addresses all 3 weaknesses of range breakout trading. You can also study the following to understand concepts and terminologies used in my system in more detail SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE http//www.investopedia.com/university/technical/techanalysis4.asp http//stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_schoolchart_analysissupport_and_resistance IMPORTANCE OF VOLUME http//www.investopedia.com/university/technical/techanalysis5.asp STRONG CHART PATTERNS If a breakout is preceded by some of these chart patterns especially the continuation patterns, it will less likely be a fake breakout and will increase the odds of your success. http//optionalpha.com/13-stock-chart-patterns-that-you-cant-afford-to-forget-10585.html http//www.investors.com/images/editimg/ibded/BaseCheatSheet.pdf http//stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_schoolchart_analysischart_patterns http//www.investopedia.com/university/technical/techanalysis8.asp IMPORTANT CANDLESTICK PATTERNS http//www.swing-trade-stocks.com/candlestick-patterns.html http//www.investopedia.com/articles/technical/02/121702.asp http//www.investopedia.com/articles/technical/03/010603.asp http//www.investopedia.com/articles/technical/03/020503.asp MOVING AVERAGES http//www.investopedia.com/university/technical/techanalysis9.asp POWER OF T-LINE OR 8 EXPONENTIAL MOVING AVERAGE http//www.candlestickforum.com/PPF/Parameters/10_6735_/candlestick.asp AVERAGE TRUE RANGE (ATR) http//www.investopedia.com/terms/a/atr.asp http//www.investopedia.com/articles/trading/08/atr.asp AVERAGE DIRECTIONAL INDEX (ADX) http//www.investopedia.com/terms/a/adx.asp http//www.investopedia.com/articles/trading/07/adx-trend-indicator.asp RETRACEMENT VERSUS REVERSAL http//www.investopedia.com/articles/trading/06/retracements.asp I do not use Stochastics, RSI, Bollinger Bands, Fibonacci tools, or any other indicators in my system. Use of Candlestick patterns is optional. The goal is to keep it simple and easy to understand and execute.

    Peace upon you, "muslim" is not an english word, it is an arabic one. So if you speak english at your work place, why don't you translate "muslim" to english? It is better to convey the meanings of the words we use in the language we use, if not it will become meaningless labels. And don't forget that the god is the most mercifull -- That will clarify alot D! All praise due to God

    Salam brother thank you and yea I was referring to Mecca , the last one was Jerusalem until Allah changed it to the Masjid al Haram in Mecca We have certainly seen the turning of your face, , toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you are, turn your faces toward it . Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do. "And from wherever you set off, you shall turn your face towards the Masjid Al-Haram. This is the truth from your Lord and indeed God is not unaware of what you do" 2149 "We did not appoint the Qiblah which you were on except to know who follows the messenger and who would turn back on their heels" 2143 "Even if you were to produce to those who have been given the scripture every kind of miracle, they will not follow your Qiblah. Nor will you follow their Qiblah. They do not even follow each others' Qiblah." 2145 and some Ahlul Kitab continued to use the Jerusalam Qiblah until 70 AD when the Romans destroyed it so although it was still thier Qiblah they could no longer offer sacrifices any more because there was no temple to sacrifice at and today theres a mosque on that Temple Mount. Oh no, what have you done. Haha.

    !How repulsive! Lovely bible, men sin and women get beaten. Fantastic, only the Qur'an does not say a word on that. You are spitting on the Qur'an, bringin all the time any foul measure from the bible to trump it. Forget the bible and stick to the Qur'an. If you want to bring the bible, open a thread for that and boast about it as much as you want. And also very convenient forgettiing the whole of that part of An-Nur which is very eloquent about exactly what it is speaking about, common plain women disgracing an bashing. Salaam Made me happy to see myself in action!

    Freedomstands, You are relaying passages that speak of people who self-proclaimed themselves as prophets and often used it as a political tool. But prophets are followed by some sort of sign and it is God's words and not their own. Prophet is actually a very poor translation of the Arabic 'nabi' which means something else. Nabi means someone who has taken a step inside or has insight or is acquainted with something. But surely a nabi will be able to relay prophecies because they have the authority and can see things others cannot. What they can do is according to God's will and what their access to powers is. Manipulate the flesh is one power. Visions (insight into the future) is another. But they all hear God although God does not speak with a voice per se. I spoke of symbiosis before. And God said "I am who am I". Prophesying is a specific ability. It is also possible to determine the future in symbiosis with God. Whatever God accepts. Actually you are right about many things in your preachings since God has a hand in everything because of its symbiotic nature with the Spirit of man. But only those who grow their Spirit have a part in God's Kingdom, being able to have influence. God is not a dictator. God may ask a question whether you accept something or not. It happens that I was asked "Do you wish Me to move on?" (implying on finding someone else for His business). God does not force things on people although it may be very disadvantageous to say no because you have much to win carrying out God's plans. God also said "You have been honored, do you not see?" Once made a choice (oath) however God will come with such as "I command you", but that is because you are like an employee. Breaking an oath would be very negative, but I made my firm decision without doubting once, desiring to serve God. Disobedience is not good and I have been threatened with the "wrath of God" concerning something. I have been authorized to communicate with people about this however, using my wisdom. Of course you might find me crazy. Thing is, it will be shown otherwise. People will not like what God likes to be conveyed though, stuck in their Pagan religions with a strictly separate image of God. Same problem as always, like with that man Jesus. They did not like when he said "I am in the Father and the Father in me", and so will people not like when I say it. But they ought to be attached to God in union, not idolize Jesus separately from the Father. God is your God and my God, and Jesus' God. And God (Rabb) means something like 'Foundation', or something like platform. Allah is anyone who is it. "Is such as it". They are by their affinity connected to God, like a network node to the hub because their body is no longer a distraction (interference). And everyone's soul is a mirror of God's in terms of potential, they must just find themselves. If successful they will share the qualities of God, as much as God lets them. God determines everything about that. Be well Very good. Like I've said before, I do believe you are being told these things by God and what is happening to you is of course real and a real experience and it is definitely God doing it all. I'm also very happy because this is what I wanted. I was trying to push for just your plainly stated to everyone the communication with God and what you are told and I even think more people will be accepting of that too possibly. I didn't like the idea of going around and messing with the academic approach in a world of stern academics, but to go the route of direct communication statements, then no one can argue and fuss, what God tells you then they can only say you are mad, but they can't say oh look at this and what this academic says or whatever, when it is a matter of direct revelation or confirmation from God. For me, God is Odin, Odin according to the Academics means some things including "Inspiration" the one that inspires, but this does not necessarily mean it is good for the person, sometimes the inspiration leads them to destruction, sometimes even that destruction is good though, and they end up in the spiritual halls of the noble fighters, rather than Hel. So in my view, I am not just saying it that God is doing this to you, that is my real belief. Plus I am monitoring your beliefs and putting them to the test so you can say the right things in public, like you didn't go for the obviously disturbing genital mutilation business, that was an easy one to avoid and you avoided it well and explained well too. There are many here under the power of Odin's inspiration, some enticed like mentioned in the Bible, others who might speak well, and Odin puts people into glorious combat of what is right and what is wrong. You saw, I was urging on PeteWaldo and good logic to enter into battle and what was said, both PeteWaldo and good logic were fighting for what they thought was right and best, and PeteWaldo and good logic had in a sense the spirit upon them too. The New Testament states something like "Do not think I come with peace, I come with the Sword". Craziness of an individual isn't the point, they truly are all the servants of Odin, soldiers, pitched in combat, thrown into war to strive to attain to the halls of righteousness and nobility. The Chosen, who prove they are chosen by their struggling and struggling against evil and falsehood and injustice. lol http//warhammeronline.wikia.com/wiki/Chosen http//warhammeronline.wikia.com/wiki/Zealot "He is Tzeentch! The Changer of Ways! The Raven God! The Lord of Mutation! He is the master of all that changes, and the changer of all that remains! His will is Chaos, and all the creatures of Chaos are but fleeting thoughts in his vast mind!" ? Drang The Preacher, Zealot 5924 He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

    What proof do you have that the earth is a sphere? what evidence? By the way what makes you think that these muslims in arab countries are basing it on pre-established faith based on hadiths? Is this just your opinion? did you go ask these arabs or you just made assumptions? Shouldn't you base your statements on facts and evidence? May be these muslims in arab country, based it on common sense. Actually common sense would say that the earth is flat or more like a frisbee. The earth looked pretty flat to me when i looked down from the plane. Your sense of reality that the earth is spherical is based on what? Essentially pictures taken by astronauts? Did you actually see the earth from outer space? No. Basically, you have placed a blind faith in scientist that the pictures they showed are true. Essentially what you are doing is exactly what you have alleged these Arab Muslims in doing. You have accepted scientists/government claims of the earth on faith that they are speaking the truth. You are convinced by what you read in the paper and seeing pictures or told my people in authority. Sounds to be that you are suffering from a similar condition as you seem to claim these Arab Muslims are. Just because these Arab Muslims are not convinced like you and have not put their blind faith, they are foolish? Perhaps they find you foolish to believe in something that you actually have not seen for yourself and verifying it for yourself. How can you prove providing evidence that the pictures taken and accepted by scientist through out is real and not fake? May be it is all a propaganda for the Arabs to provide scientific evidence for the Quran which states that the earth is spherical. By the way, do you know about Flat Earth Society and their arguments? They are not living in some Arab country. They are on Facebook and twitter. You alleged that these Arab Muslims have been conditioned on nonsense faith but about the arguments and proposed scientific truths/proofs of the Flat Earth Society members? If you were living 60 years ago when we didn't have these evidence that you needed for you to be convinced that the earth is spherical, what would you have believed? Would you have held the belief that the earth is flat based on your senses? would you have said that Muslims who believed the earth was spherical because of the teachings of the Koran were following theological principles and were foolish, conditioned and delusional? Would you have rejected factual truth that the earth is spherical due to lack of evidence or proof? So does lack of evidence or proof mean that something is not true? 60 years ago we didn't have the kind of evidence we have now about the earth being spherical, so does that mean that the earth is flat and not spherical? The Flat Earth Society have their own arguments, evidence and apparent scientific proofs. 60 years ago if you came upon them, would you then have been convinced and believed the earth to be flat. lack of evidence or proof doesn't alter the fact or truth. Lack of understanding or knowledge doesn't alter the truth. Just because we don't have the knowledge, proof, understanding, evidence doesn't mean that something doesn't exist or true. So, I find your claim to be a rational thinker to be anything but rational. More like very much limited. Sister, I wonder whether you agree that the earth is flat? If only you back and tell us more about this issue, I'd like to know your thought about flat earth and the Qur'an. Salaam.

    Im a doctor by profession. When i was doing my 2nd year in mbbs i had flashes of light in eyes and frequent blackout in my sight. Went to an ophthalmologist,he diagnosed it as retinal detachment and insisted me to do a laser surgery immediately or else i will lose my sight. It sounds like your ophthalmologist was incompetent or trying to make some money from you (assuming they would be paid for laser surgery). Your symptoms more likely indicate a migraine, subset of which is "retinal/ocular migraine". Whilst persistent flashes of light can indicate retinal detachment, it is extremely rare to get it in both "eyes" at the same time, and unheard of to also get "frequent blackouts", as once the retina detaches it would be black permanently. Migraines come and go, and periods of remission are common. I recommend going to someone who is competent and not trying to scam you for money.

    Peace Would you really waste your valuable time discussing/debating Qur'anic Islam with Zakir Naik? I met and debated him in person when he visited Australia several years ago and I can tell you that he was impressive with Ahadith but with Al qur'an, I consider him a Novice. I also attended his lectures at a university campus and it was boring and annoying if you know your Qur'an. At the time he was touted as the successor to Ahmad Deedat and Malcolm X look alike . For me, I would not waste my time with Dr Zakir Naik, any regular forum member can take him apart . Peace almarh0m

    Sura 37 He said "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me! (99) "O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!" (100) So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear. (101) Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice), (103) We called out to him "O Abraham! (104) "Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right. (105) For this was obviously a trial- (106) And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice (107) And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times (10 "Peace and salutation to Abraham!" (109) Thus indeed do We reward those who do right. (110) For he was one of our believing Servants. (111) And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet,- one of the Righteous. (112) It is plain that Ishaq comes after Isma3il, and indeed much after Isma3l, since when Ishaq is announced the whole scene of the sacrifice has already been played out. And the association of Ismail with patience as somebody has already pointed out from hte Qur'an yies in with the passage of the sacrifice, so there is not much room for doubt as per the Qur'an. Some people in other thread I htink has suggested that in fact Ishaq is the son of Isma3il which might be so, because if they were already ald when the "first" boy is announced, the second might indeed have been the son of the son. Salaam 1439 "All praise is due to God, who has bestowed upon me, in my old age, Ishmael and Isaac! Behold, my Sustainer hears indeed all prayer 2927 And We granted to him Ishaq and Yaqub and We placed in his offsprings the Prophethood and the Book. And We gave him his reward in the world. And indeed, he in the Hereafter (is) surely, among the righteous. 684 And We bestowed to him Ishaq and Yaqub, all We guided. And Nuh, We guided before; and of his descendents, Dawood and Sulaiman and Ayyub and Yusuf and Musa and Harun. And thus We reward the good-doers. Hehe, cool, even Jacob is thrown in the same sentences.

    I agree that the leadership in such organizations are compromised and controlled by outside forces working against Muslim nations. But I do not believe that every foot soldier is an Israeli or American or Indian. These people are able to divide Muslims because there are uneducated, angry, disgruntled and religiously misguided muslims in abundance that follow such people and are willing to go bomb mosques, and bazaars and childrens schools. And it is the misinterpretation of Qur'an coupled with the more "anti-Quranic" hadith literature which entices such people to believe that they are on a holy jihad while committing such atrocities. The biggest problem of Arab countries is that their governments hate one another. And when that happens little can be done about the crisis of ISIS. But it is pretty transparent now that the organization is getting help right from US, Europe and Israel. Weapons and planes can't just fall from the sky. Anbar Provincial Council announced on Saturday, that the security forces and tribal fighters have seized Israeli and European weapons belonging to the ISIS group east of Ramadi, calling for the liberation of the Ramadi-Hit road to secure the humanitarian aid arriving in Baghdadi area.http//www.iraqinews.com/iraq-war/israeli-european-weapons-belonging-isis-seized-east-ramadi/ I don't think it is difficult to recruit people from Arabian countries for terrorist organizations especially if they are not shown some kind of political or religion based crisis as the problem. Before ISIS got into Iraq the country already had sectarian problems. They are now using that as an excuse to stay in Iraq. But so many things have been leaked that most people are not buying into this whole ISIS thing anymore. There you go, my bay area's reaction to ISIS https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOHJ06bsSow

    Jerusalem was conquered by the Sasanian Empire in 614. The force conquering Jerusalem was composed of Persian forces together with Jewish rebel forces. It is rather remarkable to find Jewish rebels fighting next to Persians, who were polytheists and persecuting Jews in their own empire. Just like Quran forbids muslims to collaborate with polytheists in war, so did the Jewish have a convenant with God not to side with polytheists. The reason why these Jewish rebels still felt this was a good decision, violating their convenant, has a long background. From wikipedia As you can see the Jewish rebels wanted to regain control of Jerusalem and Temple Mount. They lost access to it and the whole situation must have reminded them of the Babylonic exile. More than likely the parallels with the Babylonic exile and the figure of Ezra were heavily used in propaganda to rally troops in reclaiming Jerusalem. Keep in mind these events took place during the lifetime of Muhammad. Also keep in mind to the Jewish people this is a historical record of embarrassment, meaning its very unlikely Jews would make up a fake historical record that embarrasses them. In a next post I will focus on the person of Nehemiah ben Hushiel and how he is relevant to understanding 930 1-5 Peace Do you have any reference to peer reviewed historical records, that corroborate what you say?
