I have now read several things I understand to be racial slurs about Mohamed. I read about sex with a six year old, and many war like behaviors I assume were to releave oppression. One I understand might be true and that is that if a Muslim converts to Christianity in Afganistan or Pakistan, then that person may be murdered by their own family (a missionary told me the last one).

Please tell me if these are out of context,, in error,, or what reasoning justifys these if they are true.

not interested in answers from Muslim haters, i have already heard your side without referances I might add, no more please

I am making about 30 goodie bags (for adults and children) for a Halloween party. So far, I am putting in a pack of either Nutter Butters, Oreos, or Chips Ahoy...a granola bar...and a pack of gum.

Does anyone have any fun, or inexpensive ideas, other than the typical candy?? I was thinking maybe a Halloween pencil or something....I don't know, is that stupid? lol....

A woman who has never been with men? How about a woman who tried to repress her feelings, ended up married with 3 kids, divorced after 25 years and then comes completely out of the closet, 2 years later finds the woman of her dreams and now lives happily ever after with her?
I don't understand all of this labeling. I have been with men in the past, I hated it, but I did it because I didn't want to be outcasted. I finally got tired, I'm out of the closet now and would never think to be with a man again, but yet I'm still classified as bi. Most of the time I don't care, I know what I am. Any thoughts on this?

Okay, I have someone who does not believe in GOD that is out to get me. The closer I get to GOD the worst it gets. I have TVs turning off and on and toilets flushing on their own. Yes, I've had this problem before when I picked up spirits at a haunted hotel, West Baden Hotel, West Baden, IN. It was from the Historical Society. When I was young I saw orbs. Still do. I need help, this is ruining my life. Can I please speak with someone over the phone. I'm scared to death. I'm a professional woman, married and career ruined over this.

I have been dating or seeing a married man for 9 years that happens to be muslim and I am a catholic; therefore, I am already in need of confession. My issue is now my affair has put us into a predictment. I am pregnant. He has decided that he does not want to disrupt his happy home with his wife and their 2 perfect children because he can not afford an outside child physically, mentally, nor financially. So he has just left me high and dry.
Not that I really care, I feel that this is a gift from God and I am going to work my best to raise this child alone.
Is there anything in the Muslim religion that stipulates that this is a grave offense?

Most of us can point to some person who has had a eiterh a decided influence on our conversion (to Christianity) or so impacted our spirituality that we base much of our faith walk on the model of Christ-likeness that this person presents. The person may be one you know personally or an authoer, preacher, missionary, etc that you have been exposed to.

Hey there!

This question is for followers of Islam... or those who know a lot about it. I had heard in the past that it is considered sacreligious if the Qur'an is translated from Arabic to any other language. Right now I'm taking a course on world religion and we are reading the Qur'an -in English-. Is it considered a taboo? How do you, as a Muslim, feel about it being translated, if in fact it is against your religion.

-Only answers pertaining to the question, please. I'm only interested in what the "rule" is on that, not anything else-

Thankyou!!! :)

The Ten Commandments
Deu 5
1 Moses summoned all Israel and said:
Hear, O Israel, the decrees and laws I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them. 2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. 3 It was not with our fathers that the LORD made this covenant, but with us, with all of us who are alive here today.

Deuteronomy 1:3
In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites all that the LORD had commanded him concerning them.


these are just two. The point is if the Levitical law was only given to the Israelites and their decendants how can modern day Christians 99.9% of whom have no connection to the Israelites calim that they are free of the Levitical law if they were never bound by it?

Black women are into white looks these days. Kudos white girls for taking their men, their jobs and their chances of being an equal part of our society.

Ok answer me this religious people/evolution people. Why is that the early people (the ones that hunted animals and made fire with sticks) had bigger skulls, were bigger in height, and I think they had a bigger brain, so the question is why is it that all of us humans are different form the early ones physically? It's a fact that they were different thus theory of evolution seems realistic, don't you think?

Why do you teach your children about santa when santa is just an anagram for satan? This is not against christian religion at all if anything it is about everybody who believes in and fears Satan.
