Is islam fundamentally "wrong", or only because it appears that way due to extremists focusing on certain passages of their holy book rather than the whole of the quaran which may, like the bible, contradict these corrupt morals elsewhere?

His 'religious philosophy' was full of holes.
Besides the obvious, ridiculous assertion that ‘it is better to believe in god than not, just to be on the safe side' (and what god would respect something as flimsy as that?) there is also his statement that without god, life is meaningless and miserable.
Atheists, whether you want to see it or not, have more of a meaning to their lives than an instant, straight-out-of-the-box believer. A believer says 'yes, there is a god because other people told me so'. If such an attitude isn't meaningless, it is, at least silly and superficial.
An atheist on the other hand does not just accept prepackaged answers. An atheist is searching for the meaning to existence. (This is the part where religious people read into this 'see, he's looking for god', ah, wrong. A meaning to life doesn't require a magical deity.)
By actively questioning existence, an atheist is using the scientific mind that Pascal seemed to be missing in his philosophy.

* Our Islam is an integerated relgion that provide us with perfect ways in believing,financial,social,dai... deed,human principles even in eating, drinking or sex. So, we look at him a the ABSOLUTE PERFECT SYSTEM, neither U.S democracy or any other WEAK MAN-MADE systems will be like it at all. So, do not try to apply this short minded systems on us.

*Islam includes fighting of whom want to darken the light of that religion. Yes, but we were ordered to not to kill women, children, and other civilians.in fact, we were ordered to be friends with other people who are friends to muslims. So, we see our God Allah as strong and merciful who sent sent Mohammed With that religion.

*So, when a country such U.S or Israel want to destroy our priciples and invade our countries, what do u think we had to do?

ISLAM IS NOT JUST A TRADITION LIKE JAPANESE,CHINESE or HINDI TRADITIONS...IT IS A BELIEF IN OUR HEARTS AND A GUIDE IN OUR DEEDS.

Find the time to sit down and let the world go away and simply be. Relax and be. Pray, meditate, listen to music, watch a candle flame, or watch the clouds roll by, but simply be and enjoy life. We all need a moment of stillness in a hectic world.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

I mean you know is there a certain type of women these men feel comfortable approaching for a romantic relationship or a cover relationship

Is there anything a woman can do to send out the signal "no i do not want a bi or gay man" so they don't approach her?

What a country.........................................

5 million of our older Americans have not signed up yet for their Medicare,
Part D, drug plan------they are old and confused. We are not going to grant
them an extension.

However, 12 million illegal aliens are in our country and we are going to
allow them to stay, protest, procreate, receive support monies, attend
schools, avoid paying income taxes, have our teachers take 300 hours of ESL (English as a Second Language) training at our expense, etc.


WE MUST REALLY DISLIKE OUR OLD PEOPLE......OR WE MUST REALLY LOVE TACOS!!!

Is the end of the world coming soon? I know the Bible states no one knows the time or place and Jesus will come like a thief in the night and all that, but is the current state of the world pointing towards the apacalypse?

I'm not suicidal or anything, far from it, it's just that we can't get ahead!

Forget getting ahead... can't break even! When you have 5 dollars to your name, your 1985 truck is spitting gas all over your house, you have shut-off notices for every utility, and you just got screwed by Blue Cross Blue Shield on a $1000 ER visit....

Lots of people are in the same boat, right? So how do you all cope, because I'm about ready to bang my head against the shed a few thousand times.

By homes, I mean the luxurious homes, not the necessary ones. The homes I see around myself are too much luxurious having 5 or 10 bedrooms for a family of 3 or 4 persons. That is a sheer waste of money and why don't we build 10 such homes with 2 bedroom each and give away the remaining 9 homes to the needy ones who can't afford to build their own homes due to whatever reason? Why are we so greedy and so selfish?

Sexual orientation manifests itself in many ways. Estimate how gay or straight you are on the following 6 items.

(Each answer should indicate which orientation, such as "100% gay" or "65% straight".)

1. Sexual behavior across your lifetime (who have you "been" with):

2. Sexual attractions (who turns you on):

3. Emotional attractions (who you want to spend time with):

4. Manner of dress and grooming (stereotypically gay or straight):

5. Social group (who are your friends):

6. Openness (how "out" you are about your sexual orientation):

Have fun! Feel free to make comments.

Like the very recent question about being forced to convert to Islam if you marry a Muslim.

And that gosh awful question that gets repeated concerning Mohammad and the 9 yr. old girl. this girl's father offered his daughter in marriage when she was 9, but the marriage did not happen until the girl was physically a woman - years later. No pedophilia occurring there.
