Society & Culture - 4 July 2006

Yes, we make mistakes and have faults, our leaders don`t always make the wisest choice but it`s the people (you) that make this country great. The constant complainers just moan and groan instead of trying to help make things better. Honestly, sit back and reflect on all the people that have sacrificed so you and I can enjoy a freedom that much of the world has never seen. So, thank you people of the USA for letting freedom ring so loud the whole world must hear it!!!

There are a lot of questions asked here, where answers are given that are obviously not what they were looking for? If you can't be respectful of other's beliefs, why answer at all?

The first time I went to jail I did county time, & did not have any real racism views other than what had been taught too me by my peer's. Which as I believe now was insedental. I didn't get it the first time I went in. In fact I went right to the hispanic area of my pod to bunk up, because that was the majority of my peer's. After the 3RD or 4TH time, I was taught to "Bunk up with my own kind.". The first time I went to prison, it was a must. I did not like it then, having to condition myself to this idea for the sake of my servival. So now, I don't do things to get myself in jail any more. My question is for you then, for those that have been & will go back is, do you do this for your servival or do you do it because you believe that being a racist is a way of life that is healthy for you, your family & loved ones, & your freinds & peer's? How do you believe yourself to be? Don't just pop off & answer but look inside yourself, dig deep. Do you like what you see? I know I, did not...

Having studied two other languages other than English, there are words and phrases that simply do not exist when translated from one language to another. For example, in the Spanish language there is the subjunctive form of the verb which can indirectly demonstrate the person's feeling or frame of mind when used which does not exist in English. Furthermore, the bible has been translated into dozens of different languages. Why didn't Christians learn whatever language the bible was originally written in in order to recite it similar to that which the Jews and Muslims do? I'm not saying that the Torah or Qu'ran is authentic but maybe a little less diluted than the bible. Please note that I am not asking about what your religious beliefs are but simply interested in why people belive that the bibe is gospel!

I was recently watching a Korean Drama. The young couple wanted to marry but most people were oppposed - particulary the man's grandmother. The woman becomes pregnant. Because of this, some of the family was urging Grandma to approve. She made a comment about a bride's veil and the baby being a boy. (The subtitlers did not translate the whole sentence). The other family said it was a superstition. Does anyone know what the superstition is?

Most atheist were monotheistic to begin with but lost their belief because they couldnt handle what goes on in their life (death, poverty, etc)
and I tell everyone that God wouldnt ever give them anything they couldnt handle, but they seem to contradict me...what do you think?

This is not poetric question. I have read many verses in Quran that say people "think" by their hearts. An example is Hajj [22:46]: "Do they not travel through the land, so that their hearts may think and understand or their ears may hear?".

I ahve always thought that all those verses are just poetric, until I found two things:
1- I found that all early commentaries (Ibn Katheer, Tabari...etc) confirmed that people "think" with their hearts.
2- I found an authentic prophetical statement told by prophet Muhammed the following:
"Angel Gabriel came to him and took his heart out of his chest, cut a little piece from it and threw it away saying that this little piece is the evil part of his heart, washed his heart with holy water, and put it back in Muhammed's chest. Since then, prophet Muhammed used to show his companions the mark in his chest with the stitches on it"!. This statement (Hadith) was narrated by most reliable narrators [Muslim: 236, Musnad Ahmed: 13555 & Nasiee: 448)

Three fourth of the better part of the love and respect goes to the mother – One fourth of the remaining part of the love and respect goes to the father
OR
75% of the love and respect goes to the father, sorry goes to the mother and 25% of the love and respect goes to the father

Please see the teachings of Islam,

Remember

There is no god but Allah, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah.
