I am wondering if the women in Turkey, Lebanon, Iran etc, those who dont wear Muslim headscarf, are they Muslims? Do they practise Islam?

And additional question, how many percent of Turkish population are practising Islam? Or believe in Islam?

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

Please? We don't need all the hatred in the world. We don't need to repeat the atrocities of WWII. Please tell me which religion tells you to hate? Or if you have no religion, please explain to me the logical benefit to hating others who are not the same as you?

I am a virgin...but I have done other stuff. I am more drawn to the penis than I am the vag. However I have strong urges to kiss and am attracted to women. They are beautiful and sexy! The most I've done with a woman is make out. I don't think I would ever want to go down on a woman unless I was really in love. (which I once felt like I was in love but she had a serious boyfriend and I don't think she quite felt the same way so I forced myself to forget about it). I think I would enjoy going down on a guy,(one thing I haven't done yet) as long as we were in a serious relationship. Also, straight sex sounds really good to me and I'd love to have it some day. So am I straight or bi or lesbian in the making??? What should I do? Persue a lesbian relationship at the risk of upseting family and friends? Or disregard those urges as just a faze?

My conscience tells me this world belongs to all of us, cats, dogs, snakes, worms, HIV, plants and even stones. For me, world is not anthropocentric, and for the same reason killing a human being or a chicken doesnt make difference. I am not arguing killing as an act is immoral, but if you stick on the idea that killing a human is crime, a cow slaughter is crime too.

I am a bit fed up of having to compromise all the time, and do things I don't really want to, and visit people I don't really like, and be nice to people that I really can't stand etc. etc. etc.

I can't wait to be a grouchy old lady who hits children and small animals with her walking stick and says "What's that, Dear? I'm a bit deaf" even when she heard them perfectly well the first time, just to wind people up.

Ancient sources say that early Christians clung to their beliefs rather than disavow them in the face of torture. Why do you think they had such strongly held convictions?

When it comes to forgiveness and compassion, in spite of all they been through. They beat us to death every day of the week and 3 times on Sunday. We say we are not vendictive people, and have compassion, and the power of forgiveness. But next to the Amish it would be like putting a dingy next to an aircraft carrier. And they are not the dingy.

Let me see now. Jesus died to save me from my sins. Two or three days later, he was walking around, perfectly OK. Therefore, Jesus Christ actually slept for two or three days to save me from my sins!

I'd like to do the same thing. Think of the possibilities. One billion women would worship me, so I could get them to do anything I want them to do. So...

Do any of you great people think that the forgiveness they are expressing in the dawn of the ruthless and cold hearted shooting deaths of their young daughters is an admirable thing? My opinion is that they possess a deep and abiding faith in God and scriptures, that few of us would be able to grasp and practice. I pray that I too can be as forgiving, for it is said in the Bible that how can we expect God to forgive us if we can't forgive those who have done us wrong. It's a tough call, but a call we are all expected to practice..

I ask this in all seriousness. I am not flaming anyone in this post, nor is it my intent to upset anyone (This time).

I would like to know your opinion on choices people make because of their faith.

I will give an example of what I am talking about.

A father and mother had a child who was very sick. I am not sure what religion they were, but their faith stopped them from taking this poor child to a doctor. Instead, they claimed that God loved them and would take care of their little girl. Needless to say, the girl died sometime later, I am not sure how long it took, but it was a while.

The parents were arrested for negligent homicide and they argued in court that they could not be prosecuted because they were following their religious beliefs.

An autopsy showed that the girl could have been saved had she seen a doctor, and that was the last I heard of it, never found out if they went to prison or not. Anyhow, do you think that faith allows for this kind of behavior and
