My Aunt Mary suddently died almost two years ago of a massive heart attack. She was my grandma's sister and like a grandma to me because I never knew my grandma. So, I love her very dearly. Her husband, my uncle (also very dear to me) is remarrying a women that is 30 years younger. The women he's marrying is the same age as his daughter inlaw. Shes just marrying him for the money (he's very wealthy) and he just wants someone to cook for him basically. His children have stopped talking to him because they are so upset and our pastor has refused to take part in the wedding because the lady he is marrying has had an unbiblical divorce. Does everyone else think this marriage is wrong too? Any suggestions on how to stop it from happening?

I posted this in the religious section because I would really like the opinion of fellow brothers and sisters! Thank-you so much, if you wouldn't all mind praying about it too, you know how powerful prayer can be! Thanks everyone!

I tried to return the email, but it is a non-returnable email server. Somehow I must have gotten on someone's email list. Does anyone have a suggestion as to who these people are, and how can I make the emails stop. They are always suggesting that I buy this or that stock.

Among the most widely believed myths about Islam in the West today is the myth of forcible conversion to Islam.

Many Westerners do believe that Islam is so widespread in the world today simply because of a "holy campaign of terror" carried out by the early Muslims to convert non-Muslims to Islam. Non-Muslims were offered the freedom to choose either Islam or death.

In a discussion with a Baptist Minister he said to me that "Muslims tend to kill non-Muslims and anyone who disagrees with them". In a syndicated column appearing in over 30 papers (on July 23rd, 1994) entitled, "Muslim persecution of Christians increasing" the author blames many Muslims countries for persecuting Christians then he quotes the Qur'an, "There is no compulsion in Religion" and ends the quote by rudely writing "Really?".

How to confront such misconceptions? First, there is no need for us to be apologetic. We Muslims should search for the truth and present it as it is. This is how we have been instructed by Allah (SWT)

"Say: the truth from your Lord and let him who will believe and let him who will reject" (Holy Qur'an, 18:29)

Islam is the religion of the Truth. The Qur'an is the book of the Truth.

"We sent down the Qur'an in Truth and in Truth has it descended" (Holy Qur'an, 17:105)

"Put your trust in Allah for you are on the path of the manifest Truth" (Holy Qur'an, 27:79)

Therefore, we should ask ourselves first, before we are asked by anyone else, what is the truth? Did Muslims really force others to convert to Islam? Is there any evidence for consistent forcible conversion throughout Islamic history? As a matter of fact, there is no such evidence anywhere in the history of Islam. Many distinguished Western historians have attested this fact-- foremost among whom is Sir Thomas W. Arnold in his book, "The Preaching of Islam". Also there is Marshall G. Hodgson in his book, "The Venture of Islam", Albert Hourani in his book, "A History of the Arab People", Ira Lapidus in his book, "History of Islamic Societies", L.S. Starorianos in his book, "A Global Hisotry, the Human Heritage" and many others.

In fact, there is substantial evidence to the contrary, that Muslims were often seen as liberators of the oppressed people everywhere.
The unambiguous and uncompromising belief in the Unity, the Greatness, the Wisdom of God, the Creator of the universe, is unparalleled among other religions. The French professor Edouard Montet said:

"The dogma of the unity of God...has always been proclaimed in the Qur'an with a grandeur, a majesty, an invariable purity and with a note of pure conviction which is hard to find surpassed outside the pale of Islam. A creed so precise, so stripped of all theological complexities and so accessible to the ordinary understanding might be expected to possess and does indeed possess a marvelous power of winning its way into the consciences of men."

Besides its simple and rational creed, Islam offers an impressive set of rituals which has gained the admiration and, subsequently, the conversion of many non-Muslims

Hey it is said that according to the environmental balance the percentage of NITROGEN is around 71 and oxygen is about 27
Nd that of carbondioxide is nearly 1
Dont mind about the denominationssss i dont remeber properly/
the main source of oxygen for us is the trees, which releases co2 during nights. So there should be some imbalance here
But this is not happening
