i remember one of the people in yahoo answer said very rudely, "prophet muhammad banged a nine year old", well, the truth is:

Muhammad was in mourning years when his first wife, khadijah and his uncle abi thalib died. to cheer him up, his friends introduced him to a widow who was around his age, the second was aisyah, who was six at that time. the prophet married both women (a woman and a girl, whatever,) but aisyah lived with his parents until she was 13 or 14. even until several decades ago it is common for women to get married at that age in some countries. my friend's grandmother got married when she was twelve. so why is it a problem for the prophet to marry aisyah when she was six? they didnt live together until she was mature enough, anyway? isnt it better to marry a young girl than commiting adultery?

question is: so why is it a problem? is it just because of that he was muslim so everything he did that seems wrong can be used to intimidate islam?

If we assume according to what the three mainstream monotheistic religions believe about god, that he is all knowing and all powerful, why do we bother to pray? Wouldn't he already know that we are thankful for our food? or that we wish him to make a miracle for our sick aunt? or to the student, help him get an A in his lliterature class? In my opinion, it seems rather rude to keep reminding a person, in this case god, of things that he already knows. If he wanted to answer your prayer, he would.

The concept of trinity does not exist in the Bible. The only verse which is closest to the concept of ‘trinity’, is the 1st Epistle of John, Chapter No.5, Verse No.7, which says… ‘For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the word and the holy ghost, and these 3 are one. But if you read the Revised Standard Version, revised by 32 scholars… Christian scholars, of the highest eminence, backed by 50 different co-operative denominations, they say… ‘This verse of the Bible - 1st Epistle of John, Chapter 5 Verse No.7 is an interpolation, is a concoction, is a fabrication’ - It was thrown out of the Bible. Jesus Christ peace be upon him, never claimed Divinity. There is not a single unequivocal statement in the complete Bible, where Jesus Christ peace be upon him says… ‘I am God’ - or where he says… ‘Worship me’. Infect if you read the Bible, it is mentioned in the Gospel of John, Chapter No.14, Verse No.28 - he said…‘My Father is greater than I’; Gospel of John, Chapter No.10, Verse No.29…‘My Father is greater than all’; Gospel of Mathew, Chapter No.12, Verse No.28…‘I cast out devils with the spirit of God’; Gospel of Luke, Chapter No.11, Verse No.20…‘I with the finger of God, cast out devil’; Gospel of John, Chapter No.5, Verse No.30… ‘I can of my own self do nothing’…‘I can of my own self do nothing - As I hear, I judge and my judgement is just, for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father.’ Anyone who says… ‘Not my will but God’s will’ - he is a Muslim. Muslim means the person who submits his’ will to almighty God. Jesus Christ peace be upon him said…‘Not my will but God’s will.’ He was a Muslim

If you have given 30 years of your life giving faith to God and have gotten nothing but slap in the face after slap in the face after slap in the face and you just can't have faith anymore, what's left?

If it is all peace and love where are all you people. I am not against Muslims, even though some of my ?'s seem that way, sorry to the peace keepers. It is time for good people of all religions to take a stand and say enough is enough. There are many things that I do not like in my own religion and among my congregation it is known not to gossip or be coniving against others to me. Some of the worst people I know go to my church and I do stand up to their pious(sp?) ways. I think all religions of good people teach humility but when will we understand that does not mean let people walk all over you. You can still believe your faith and not hurt others. I know people who have no religion and far exceed the actions of the religous.

My mom refuses to disinfect anything but dishes, I try putting out disinfecting sprays and such, but she just doesn't like them.

My dad doesn't put down the toilet seat and refuses to wipe up anytime he misses the target.

My brother does his "nightly man thing" and doesn't clean up after himself. AT ALL. And on top of that when he pees, he doesn't flush, and it makes a horrible smell.

And my cousin leaves half eaten food everywhere.

I've tried everything, when I talk to them about it, they accuse me of nagging like an old woman (and maybe i am), and I've tried hinting them nicely by putting kleenex in my brother's room so that he can wipe up after he's done doing god-knows-what. Planting fake ants in my cousin's food so she'll remember to clean it up. Putting disinfecting wipes on every toilet so they'll remember to at least wipe up when the fellas miss. But none of it even works.

What is the difference between the soul and the spirit?

Jesus is saying :
" Not everyone who says to me "Lord, Lord" shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the Will of my Father in heaven"
So is it enough just to belive in Jesus as a savior to go to Heaven?? Or you still have to submitt Will of God and follow His commands? Means not to be sinner..
Please serious answers..

Is it just me? I'm continually annoyed by the persistance of people to pronounce "Herb" as "'erb" like they are some kind of French snob.

"Herb" is an English word... not a French word... So where did this Frenchified pronunciation come from?

I'm thinking it came from the early days of TV with Julia Childs when she became famous for saying " 'ERbs and Spices!" in a snobbish immitated French accent.

As this was America's first exposure to fancy cooking, it's how the pronunciation became accepted.

Is anyone else annoyed by this?

Does anyone have any facts on how this pronunciation got started?

Im wondering why some people think that Islam doesn't respect other relginions? Im a muslim and i have christian, jew and hindu friends we all respect each other. Really Islam kept and still keeping the rights of non-muslims who live in muslims land. It considers to be a sin for me or any muslim if hurt by words or by actions any other person just becuase his/her religion is different!!! Even if we have different colors, languages, religions or nationalities we still have one thing in common which is coming from one dad (Adam) and one mom (Eve)... That's what my religion taught me and that's what i believe in^_^. Allah blesses you:).
