Mecca is the holiest city in Islam and no non-Muslims are allowed to enter because the Koran calls them "nijs" or "impure".

Rome is the holiest city of the Roman Catholic Church and is home to tens of thousands of Muslims and the center of a great mosque. http://uk.encarta.msn.com/media_1041500181_761556259_-1_1/Mosque_in_Rome.html

Doesn't this show a great difference between Muslim tolerance and Western tolerance? Is this yet another Muslim double standard?

I need help so badly, and I keep praying and praying to God for some kind of guidance. It is really hard to keep my faith when I feel that I am being ignored.

I'm 16. Have always been responsible concerning my sex life. I've had one partner, my boyfriend of 9 months and we've just recently begun to have sex. I had been on Ovcon 35 (birth control pills) for about 9 days when we got carried away and for a few minutes we had sex without a condom. He did not finish in me, we finished with a condom. I'm worried about the potentcy of his pre-***, and whether I should be worried or not. I cannot tell me parents if I get pregnant and am preparing myself for the worst. I won't trouble my boyfriend with it, I feel its my responsibility. Will my familys insurance take care of termination costs? I don't have the money. How likely do you think it is that I am pregnant? I've been having milds back aches and cramps as well as sore breasts, but it could be a delayed effect from the pills, even though I had no prior side effects. Its only been 4 days since the unprotected sex. I am about 10 days away from my period on the pill. I need any opinions. Thank you

Every year my girlfriends mom has a birthday dinner for my girlfriends daughter. Every since she realized that I was enough of a factor to possibly damage the amount of controll she has on my girlfriend, she has not liked me,and hence, has not invited me to the dinner. Should my girlfriend go with out me? Should I ask all of them not to attend? I now have a child with my girlfriend so should I let out daughter go with out my being invited?

Im very interested in Paganism and learning more, but the more visible groups I have found have been extreme for me. How do I find out more? Most Pagans that I am aware of dont attend any events and rather practice alone. I'm ok with that but need some good resources to learn more about it.

I live in an apt building and have a idiot above me for a neighbor. Loud noises all times of night, heavy stomping etc, running through the apt and such after midnite, etc...My question is, I am moving due to his actions as well as some of his friends he has over. Can he be sued for moving expenses and/or the increase in rent I will be paying? There is also harrasement on his and his friend part which is on tape. The location is Maryland. Thanks

I have been eating a piece of fruit for breakfast (9am) a snack,(11am) usually a yogurt or slimfast muffin bar with an apple juice. For lunch (12:30 or 1:00pm) a 6inch from Subway *not a meal with chips and soda* around 3 I have another snack, fruit. I go to the gym for 6, run 30 mins and a few machines. Now, my problem lies with dinner, it always varies and I'm looking for some good ideas. Dinner is usually around 7 or 8 to prevent myself from snacking later. Any tips for working more exercise into my day would be apppreciated as well or reducing my hunger from dinner until breakfast. So far, I have lost 4lbs in 2 weeks of this routine. for my third week, I'd like to lose 2lbs or more, if possible. I am not looking for a crash diet, just a way to work my schedule with the diet and exercise to maintain weight loss until i reach my goal of 10-15lbs.

that we will see big discounts on cars and merchandise?I mean a chinese worker gets a dollar an hr compared to $28 dollars an hr in the U.S.to build a car, that means that cars will be 50% cheaper to buy now or will they just be ripping us off anyways.How about everybody stop buying cars for a year and piss them all off. Stop buying gas for a week, Corporate america is digging hole for bankruptcy.Take money out of there pockets and watch them squirm like all these people out of work.I think we should do it and watch them lose there a ss.Give them a taste of there own medicine. Dont buy nothing for a week or cars for a year.
