I've read extensively about the subject, and during the Middle Ages, Jews were well accepted in Islamic nations, becoming advisors and physicians to Caliphs and high kings all the while being persecuted by Christians, kicked out of Spain and England. Christians and Muslims were not that friendly either, what with the crusades.

But now the alliance has changed. Christians and Jews are buddies, whilst Islam is the odd man out, so to speak. Why the change? When did this happen? Does this have to do with Zionism and the Christian belief that Jews reclaiming the Holy Land is part of End Time prophecy as revealed in the Book of Revelations?

Thoughts?

My fiance and I recently came across the subject of porn in a conversation. I know he went through a phase when he was younger where he was addicted to porn and probably masturbated quite frequently. He's had a very troubled childhood and has come out surprisingly well, so I don't consider this a big mark in his past. However I asked him if he still pleasures himself and watch porn, and he says occasionally, when he's at home. He's has been staying with me and my family for the past several weeks, and can always come see me so I don't see the need for him to do this. It bothered me a little that he does this because he have a very healthy sex life (he is my first partner) even though he have to keep it very private since no one in my family except for my older sister knows that I'm sexually active (religious background). Anyway, I asked him if he wouldn't do it anymore and he didn't seem to have a problem with agreeing. But men: was I wrong to ask him that? Is it important to you?

over to immigration? Isn't that aiding a criminal illegal felon alien? He wants to keep families together. How about keeping them together in their own country? And he wants to be president??? We are in big time trouble if he even comes close.

Ron Paul

im 14 and my name is carla.
i dont know what to do anymore
i think the only solution is death...but im to much of a coward to even do that.
today they were dyin my hair blonde so they had to bleach it and i couldnt stand the pain and i started cryin....and that just made me feel like such a stupid coward..and my parents were sayin how i could never be in the army if i was such a coward.
i am a coward i get scared for anything,i hate myself,,i look fat im probably not pretty either.
the bad thing is school is in less than 2 weeks and im going to be a fresh man...i hope i die within that time...because its not worth...if im probably not gonna be good enough for the army why even try anymore,what is the point?
im never gonna be a model or a soldier.im probably gonna end up being homeless.
i just dont know what to do anymore.
