In the Quran, Allah orders Muslims to terrorize non-Muslims in His behalf:

"Strike terror (into the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies." Surah 8:60

"Fight (kill) them (non Muslims) and Allah will punish (torment) them by your hands, cover them with shame." Surah 9:14

"I will instil terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them. It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah." Surah 8:12-17

"O ye who believe! Fight the unbelievers...let them find firmness (harshness) in you and know that Allah is with those who fear Him." Surah 9:123

If truth is not relative, how do we know this?

The question comes from so many in our culture (American) stating something similar to 'you have your truth and I have mine' as if there is no truth more true than any other truth.

I'm going to go to church with my best guy friend this Sunday because I'm thinking of converting. It's a Mormon church and I've never been to an LDS church before. Does anyone have any tips on how i should dress or how I should act or anything?

A friend of mine can go on talking for 25-30 minutes, often changing the subject about two or three times in the process, before I or anyone else has said a word. When he finally stops, he does not realize that the reason there is silence is not because nobody wants to say anything, but that everyone is trying to either mentally catch up with what he just said (he's an extremely fast talker) or they now need a mental break to refresh themselves. I suspect he is autistic, and have told him so, but he refuses to get checked by a doctor. I have tried to politely let him know that this tendency is very mentally draining on others, and is the reason why he has a hard time making friends, but it goes i one ear and out the other with him. I am about to bluntly tell him, "SHUT UP!" the next time he goes off on one of these tangents. The guy just doesn't realize he mentally drains others with his endless tyrades. What would you do??

I want to believe in God and heaven for my lost son, who passed away earlier this year. But I find I have difficulty doing so.

Why would God allow him to die if he existed?! My child was only 15 years old. He left behind two siblings (one a twin brother).

If God exists and is merciful like I heard, how can he allow an innocent child to die?!

It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the
shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more
vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.
~William Tecumseh Sherman~
I would appreciate any comments and thoughts on this as this is part of a letter I recieved from a woman whose life was being torn apart by the war. At one point in the letter she went on to say 'My hands are shaking as I write this, because the bombs are falling all round me.'

Do you know what a spiritual connection really is?

Are you aware of your innerself and its capabilities?

Or are you 'too busy' in the materialistic world?

Do you think there is more than what human eyes can see?

If you are not interested, dont reply. Thanks

I'm a Muslim woman and I wear a head scarf on my head,
Yet I know that there are people who beleieve that I should not wear it in the west, and find it offensive. I don't understand this because it doesn't give them physical pain does it?

I am not offended when I see Jewish men or Aimish in their traditional costume...or when I see teenage cloths or punks, or women in mini skirts...(And most people are not aswell)

So why is my clothing more offensive?

The question is not about "Should i have a baby now ?", but its about "WHY" - Please dont respond with answers like

1) Talk to your partner and decide.
2) Consider your domestic, financial and personal commitments
