Society & Culture - 26 September 2006

It seems that for the majority, Muslims take their faith more seriously. They pray facing Mecca several times a day at the same time each day. They fast the way a fast should be done. They observe their holy days with full faith no matter what part of the world they are in. Christians don't pray facing their holy land, they pray in all different ways as to what suits them, many churches have taken out kneelers even tho we are to kneel before the Lord, they have changed their holy days several times throughout the centuries, many don't fast the correct way, during Lent some with just try to stop swearing or gossiping rather than not eat for 24 hours. I see the Christian community splitting up rather than coming together and this makes for vast confusion. Muslims are more joined together and worship Allah in the same ways.

What are you thoughts about this? I know there are millions of believers in each faith and I cannot categorize them as a whole. I am just looking at majority.

It was evidently that Americans have the habit & tendency to always to boast show off,bully & intimidate others.Dont they have other better things to do or mind their own business.

Bismillah

The holy month of Ramadan is upon us again...... and i was shocked to see something in the news. As a response to the current pope's words.... I saw that Muslims in Palestine burnt down a Greek orthodox church. As a Muslim i find this incredibly offensive, and even more reprehensible that it occured on 1 Ramadan. An article on islamicity.com really spoke to me. i think Ramadan is a wonderful time for Muslims to attempt to teach their brothers and sisters what they know as the true Islam that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught. I would definitely recommend the posted article. The author is much more educated and articulate than myself.

I'm an 18 year old male and I still have my virginity. I know that most people say you should lose it to the one you love but I suck at the relationship game (with no serious relationship to speak of). I don't want to lose my virginity at an old age, but I also want to keep my dignity intact (that is, I don't want a sleazy one-nighter). I feel like I won't lose my virginity or ever have a real relationship EVER! I just wanna know....am I pathetic for having these thoughts?
