The children are not allowed to wear Halloween costumes to school, and I think it's ridiculous. I always wore costumes to school, and it was great fun. I understand not allowing certain things (like masks) for safety reasons, but I think they should allow plain old innocent dressing up. Who can I speak to about changing this policy? I've tried the principal for her school, but she wasn't budging. She will have a new principal this coming year, but who knows if she can or even will do anything. Do I contact the superintendent?

I've wondered about this for a while but I didn't post it sooner because I didn't want to appear to be a troll. I think most people here can see that I'm not a troll, so I feel more confident in asking it. It's a genuine question.

I understand that a principal tenet of Islam is that the human body was optimally designed by God. Yet as far as I know, Islam requires people to remove all of their body hair. This seems like a contradiction to me. Is the idea of shaving body hair from the Qur'an or the Hadith or somewhere else? What is the rationale behind it?

A month ago, i drove home at night in pouring rain, little country road, narrow, windy, no visibility, stuck behind an arctic lorry. A 4X4 came behind me, it was practically bumper to bumper, guy had his full beams on. I had nowhere to go to park and let him overtake me. When he did he made a pojnt of breaking sharply, practically drove me out of the road (Lake) before overtaking the lorry when a car was coming on the other side. Lorry piled on the breaks to avoid an accident. It was really frightening.

Finally mobile phones! We know not to use them while driving but some people keep doing it. My partner and i had a fright when someone speaking on his mobile simply went over the continuous white line, practically drove into us, never even noticed.

Why do people do that? I don't think fines deter them. I reckon they should be banned from driving. Does anyone agree with me?

What's wrong with the people that said that the moslems worsips a pagan moon god?!! from what hole of lies did you guys dig this
info, Right now, I'm a moslem and I'm NOT worshipping a moon god!!
The word GOD in Arabic is ALLAH.
you can ask all the moslems in this world .

Here's a verse from The Holy Qur'an:

"And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not bow down (prostrate) to the sun nor to the moon, but only bow down (prostrate) to "Allah" Who created them, if you (really) worship Him." [Quran 41:37]

They ask you about the new moons. Say: These are signs to mark fixed periods of time for mankind and for the pilgrimage (Qur'ân 2:189).

The word "Allah" literally means itself, "The only one worthy to be worshipped".

"Say: ‘Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names....‘"
[Al-Qur’an 17:110]

See?

Why can't god destroy the devil? Does god like having an enemy? God just had to send Jesus down to get beat and tortured. How nice. He couldn't find a more peaceful way to die for your sins(murder, rape ect). What kind of mentally stabled god would give us free will and turn around and have us punished for it? How could our lives be predestined if we have free will? If god knows all, Why didn't he expect eve to bite the apple? God screwed up or he wanted to screw things up. God must need medication

In brief please. Long answers are not readable. And don't post answers with no logical proves.

How about a black goat with red irises in the shape of pentagrams? Or a raven that sings church hymns backwards? Or a transvestite monkey that likes to watch reruns of the flying nun while wearing extra tight fitting baby diapers?
