My webcam has been missing for about a year. It must be either here with me or at my parents' house, unless somebody borrowed it and forgot to tell me, but that seems unlikely. Any help or hint appreciated!

put your shoes on one of the prophets of God. if you been commanded by God to go to china, to spread the words of God. and convince them to leave their religion and convert to yours by worshiping only one God. while in fact you already know that your life will be in risk and they will go after you trying to hunt you.

then what will you do?

This is the biggest misconception in Islam, no doubt resulting from the constant stereotyping and bashing the media gives Islam. When a gunman attacks a mosque in the name of Judaism, a Catholic IRguerrilla sets off a bomb in an urban area, or Serbian Orthodox militiamen rape and kill innocent Muslim civilians, these acts are not used to stereotype an entire faith. Never are these acts attributed to the religion of the perpetrators. Yet how many times have we heard the words 'Islamic, Muslim fundamentalist. etc.' linked with violence.

Politics in so called "Muslim countries" may or may not have any Islamic basis. Often dictators and politicians will use the name of Islam for their own purposes. One should remember to go to the source of Islam and separate what the true religion of Islam says from what is portrayed in the media. Islam literally means 'submission to God' and is derived from a root word meaning 'peace'.

Islam may seem exotic or even extreme in the modern world. Perhaps this is because religion doesn't dominate everyday life in the West, whereas Islam is considered a 'way of life' for Muslims and they make no division between secular and sacred in their lives. Like Christianity, Islam permits fighting in self-defense, in defense of religion, or on the part of those who have been expelled forcibly from their homes. It lays down strict rules of combat which include prohibitions against harming civilians and against destroying crops, trees and livestock.

NOWHERE DOES ISLAM ENJOIN THE KILLING OF INNOCENTS..

The Quran says: "Fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but do not transgress limits. God does not love transgressors." (Quran 2:190) "If they seek peace, then seek you peace. And trust in God for He is the One that heareth and knoweth all things." (Quran 8:61) War, therefore, is the last resort, and is subject to the rigorous conditions laid down by the sacred law. The term 'jihad' literally means 'struggle'. Muslims believe that there are two kinds of jihad. The other 'jihad' is the inner struggle of the soul which everyone wages against egotistic desires for the sake of attaining inner peace.

Some religions state that any person who acts the way their god asks them to act deserves to go to Heaven. I am wondering about these poor people who've been brainwashed since they were born and commit acts of terrorism because they believe their god asks them to do so. Should they go to Heaven or not?

What issues are most important to you? Everyday I see Christians argue over the 10 commandments and other petty things like keeping under god in the pledge or whatever. But why do Christians worry about these things. Now I'm not Christian but as I understand the Bible I think it would be more important as a Christian to concern oneself with issues like the genocide in Darfur, with all the money spent on anti-abortion or anti-homosexual causes we could be convincing our government to interveen in Sudan or send food to the billions of starving people on this planet. Let's have some perspective here. You can worry about people getting maried later, what's really important to you?

Hi there,
We are currently having problems with kids from this one household, there are about 7 kids plus parents living at this address. The kids there are just plain rude and they won't stop playing infront of our house and making rude gestures, throwing sweet wrappers, playing ball games (which wrecks most of my lovely flowers!) and swear infront of any passer by!

What can we do? We've spoken to their parents, but they are just too busy to care.
