My mother feels that all Muslims are the terrorist in Iraq. On an Oprah show, she interviewed a Muslim woman, an American born and raised here, discussing her religion and some of the misconceptions.

There are roughly 1 billion Muslims in the world, & it's the second largest and fastest growing religion.

Are there terrorist who claim to be Muslim? Yes. Are there members of the KKK who claimed to be Christian? Yes. Does that mean that every Christian in the world hates black people--or that every Muslim is a terrorist?

I've tried showing examples, explaining how many Muslims in the world (vs the small number that are proven terrorists). Roughly the same number of terrorists claim to be Christian (Oklahoma City as an ex).

I am not allowed to introduce my Muslim friends to her, nor ever have them in her house. I would be banned from even seeing them except I'm an adult and there is nothing she can do. Any chance that she will ever let go of this hatred and accept Muslims as people?

I'm serious by the way.

A mate of mine accidentally took a sip of vodka thinking it was a glass of water at a party. He is Muslim and was absolutley devestated that he drank alcohol, as it is against Allah's wishes.

He really was traumatised. Fair enough, I told him, but he shouldn't be so hard on himself because it was an accident and he didn't intentionally drink the alcohol....then I remembered...he was on pills at the time...

So is he allowed to do this is Islamic terms? He seemed to think ecstacy is fine with Allah, but i'm not so sure it would be

overheated the insides. For a while it wouldn't charge and i could only use it when the charger was plugged into my laptop. Obviously it didn't like that and started smoking. All of my photo's and word docs are on there and i want to get them of and put them onto my new laptop. There is no battery charge left on my old laptop so i can't even start it up. Is there a way of taking the hard drive out and transferring all my stuff. I heard someone say something called ghosting but i don't know what that is?? Also if there is a way for me to do it can anyone tell me where i can get the equipment from?? Thanks for the comments :)

I'm going to a wedding this weekend with an open bar. When would be the best time to tip the bartender? Usually I tip per drink, but would it be okay to give a larger tip (probably $15-20) when I get my first drink, or maybe at the end of the night? I am not bringing a purse, so I don't want to keep going to my date to get my money to go tip the bartender.

Thanks for any advice!

In Kaliamma & Mariamma Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu state of India every year a young adult boy is wrapped in a saffron coloured cloth & carried to temples by many & sacrificed i.e., killed for some religious purpose I do not know. Shall such killings continue in a civilized human society ? How is the boy selected ? How do the parents allow ? In a Hindu temple in Karnataka state, once a year on a day after special worship, many ladies come out of the temple & run on the roads of the city in nude, some with ten year old son too. In Yelamma temple of South India , prostitution is allowed & considered good works. There are similar smaller temples nearby. In many temples ladies called devdasis( maid servants of God) are put into prostitution legally. Is that religious in those areas ? I don't know. Can anybody clarify why at all such things happen with human beings in India ?
