Some people have recently been arguing for a general ban on the wearing of hijabs or burkas, on the grounds that they cover the wearer's face and this was unacceptable in western society.

(NOTE - I am talking about calls I have seen for a general ban here. Banning them from the classroom is a more specific issue, and I'm not talking about that here! I am also NOT talking about whether these items should be worn in a security-conscious location.)

Below are some examples of items of clothing that cover the face.

Do you think that any or all of these should be banned? If so, why? If you think one should be banned and not the others, why?

The notion of settling down has always perplexed me! What does it mean? How old? Does it mean you have no ambition anymore or any desires to keep learning or improving?

All chat rooms have taken over by sex industry.
People are using bad language by voices and texts.
Do Yahoo aware about this matter?
When would Yahoo take any efforts to build decent chat rooms at least for UK users on Yahoo Chat?
Is there any Government body regulates internet structure in UK especially to keep an eye on online child abusers?

I have been directed to worship Ujjain Mahakali maatha, which king Vikramadhitya worshipped. But I don't know the mantras and chantings. I can't go there at present. I am at Madurai, Tamilnadu. Anybody help me by giving the Mantras and Chantings in audio format which will help me to go with correct pronounciation of it. Thank you.

How does it make you feel to know that 60% of the world's only superpower and the most scientifically advanced nation in the world with the power to wipe out the planet, believe that the world is less than 10000 years old?

One example of a glaring problem:

According to the Bible, God created the Earth, then the Sun, then the firmament (stars).

We know from basic physics and chemistry as they apply to cosmic evolution that nothing heavier than helium could have existed for billions of years - that the first and second generation stars (which took at least millions of years to be created and billions to live and die) were the furnaces for atoms like oxygen and carbon. In short, no life form of any kind - human or otherwise - could have witnessed the first stars, or their progenitors billions of years later.

"And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..."-(MATTHEW 26:39).

And, behold, one came and said unto him (Jesus), "Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but One, that is God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the Commandments.-(MATTHEW 19:16-17).

Was Jesus(pbuh) praying to himself in the first excerpt if he is one in three?

Why did Jesus(pbuh) in the second excerpt clearly indicate that noone is good, not even him, except God?

This is assuming if you believe in the Trinity

No awards for telling me what the song below means. (I don't even know what language it is.) But you will have my appreciation though.

Thanks for your time and efforts. Have a nice day.
