In Afghanistan supreme Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar issued an edict against un-Islamic graven images, which means all idolatrous images of humans and animals. As a result, the Taliban are destroying all ancient sculptures. Explosives, tanks, and anti-aircraft weapons blew apart two colossal images of the Buddha in Bamiyan Province, 230 kilometers (150 miles) from the capital of Kabul.

What do you feel about this? Do you agree with it or not?

Thanks,

I don't understand how religions could be invented - take Judaism for example, The Old Testament records that there were more than 600,000 people when The Ten Commandments were given, which is only about 3,000/3,500 years ago. I mean, at what point did a guy come in and say "hey you guys, we're all Jewish because I just remembered this Mt. Sinai thing last week", and everyone in the room says "perfect timing, we just remembered it too", and based on that a religion is still ongoing?!?

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be up on Him) as revealed before on Prophets Moses (Mosa), Jesus (Isa) and other Prophets (Peace be up on them all). But now only 100% purely existing religion in this world is Islam! And only purely 100% existing revelation is Holy Qur'an All other revelations are corrupted! The only true God Allah-almighty/our creator/the creator of universe says in Qur'an (V51: 56) that "And I (Allah) created not the Jinn and Mankind except that they should worship Me (Allah alone)". As well as in (Qur'an 3:64) Allah says that "O people of the Scripture! Come to a Word that is Just between us (Muslim) and you, that we worship none but Allah (Alone), and that we associate no partners with Him (Allah), and that none of us shall take others as Lords (Gods) besides Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (truly submitted/obeying to only-God)".

No replies about answering the door naked, please. My problem is that I don't want them knocking on my door at all. I work at night and sleep in the day. I don't appreciate ANYONE bothering me while I sleep and having someone knocking on my door at 9AM is really disruptive.

I've never had a problem until now and it's only with JWs. I've told them I'm sleeping and they tell me they'll come back later. So I asked them not to come back at all. They still come back - and before 10AM.

I hear there is a "do not visit" list. If this really exists, then how do I get on it? Would that even be effective or is it ignored just like my previous request to stop?

I've read that JW's do not pay any attention to "No Solicitors" signs because they feel they're not soliciting. Also that they will ignore a sign that says "Day Sleeper". Does ANY kind of sign work? I don't want to be rude. I just want my 8 hours of sleep like everyone else! Honest answers from JWs appreciated! :)

despite of all the different views of christian and muslims in religion aspects, I still feel that Islam is the closest or more similar to christianity,so tell us your opinion or help us to lessen our prejudiced toward Islam.

If you do not study this truth, adopt it and publish it in front of your people, you would be responsible for your people and yourself hereafter on the Day of Judgment.

Someone on this forum referred to Satans "false" teachings. If he has false ones does he also have true ones?

I mean, Christians and Muslims in particular go on and on about the evils of atheism. Atheists aren't blowing themselves up in public places, but Muslims are. In fact, nearly all the world's major conflicts at the moment involve religion in some way - Iraq, Afghanistan, southern Thailand, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Somalia, etc.

The fact is that the most extreme version of the atheist viewpoint is this: "I don't believe in God" No holy books or clerics to tell us to go out in kill in the name of "no God"

So, let's set the record straight, shall we?
