Our opinions can be based by a number of factors: past experiences, cultur, our upbringing, etc.

Whatever the subject of your opinion is,(religon, race, politics...), I would encourage all of us to think about if you are painting with the proper paint brush.

If we paint with the "paint roller" method it can be very easy to paint some areas the wrong color, making it hard to see thing way it was intended to be.

If we paint with our "detail brush" approach it will surely take more time, but I think we will get a better picture of how is supposed to be.

I would also encourage all of us to take time to paint the whole picture and take it all in before we form our opinion.

Also I think that all of us need to be considerate and respectful of the opinions of others. Even if we do not share that same opinion.

When we become rude, condensending, or nasty. We can close the door that would allow others to see things from our point of view.

Why on earth had the Pope to apologize for mentioning an old medieval text, saying that Islam wants to impose its religion with the sword?
Al Qaeda is already predicting the conquest of Rome.
They have been killing our priests, burning our churches, making a mockery of the cross and our religious symbols well before the Pope's words. They have never apologized for that.

We have welcomed Muslims in our countries. We have allowed them to build their mosques in our cities. What about reciprocity? Why can't Christians enjoy the same freedom in the Islamic countries? Why can't we practice our christianity in those countries without being killed?

Is our society decadet?

Why don't we react? Have we lost our guts?

If you don't believe in God, why even click on religion and spirituality? Are you trying to convince yourself otherwise? Are you calling for help? If you're so sure that God does not exist, then stop answering religion questions with smart *** answers. At least give answers in a mature sense. I hate to be like this, but I'm tired of the sarcasm.

From the Islamic hadiths:
"Kill whoever changes his religion" (Sahih Bukhari Vol. 9, book 84, number 57, narrated via Ibn Abbas)

"The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims." (Sahih Bukhari Vol. 9, book 83, number 17, narrated via Abdullah)

(above from Wikipedia)

I've never really known enough Muslims well enough to talk and/or debate the Quran and hadiths with authority. While I realize that a great many Muslims take the above hadiths quite literaly (look at the backlash surrounding Abdul Rahman), I've never understood the justification. Can anyone explain the justification, preferably related to other parts of the Quran or hadiths?

Further to this, they are usually eastern europeans who can't speak english. What do they hope to achieve - the're not gonna get jumped in the street, and we're not gonna go back to their place, and we're certainly not going to return the compliment.
By the way, it's not a compliment, not the way they say it!!

In the bible, after Jesus' childhood, there is no mention of Joseph. It is not said whether he was present at the crucifixion, nor is it made clear if he was alive or dead at the time. So what happened? Any theories?

hi,
Even though I am not a Moslem,christian. Do you think what pope has commented is correct. Every religion has their own sentiments. Not all the moslems are terrorists. I have many decent moslem friends who care for humans. A hand full of religious moslem terrorist make proverty ridden moslems to terrorist. It is the society to take care of the under previlaged moslems. ( but take care when you are helping them ).
