For example, Jesus in his time, received quite a lot of...negative attention...seeing as ultimately he was crucified. If someone today memerised people and claimed that Revelations in the New Testament is to be fulfilled, by them, would you be able to accept him as salvation? Would you believe he really is a descendant of God?

I'd like the answers to be supported by explanations. Thanks.

I'm trying not to judge the militant, heterosexual, reprobates but it seems they insist on "flaunting" their sexuality. This is a grave offense to my faith. Should I lobby for laws prohibiting their unions and try to infuse my faith into all local and national laws or should I just respect the fact that humanity falls on an enormously diverse scale with different permutations, variations, and orientations?
Any advice you could proffer would be greatly appreciated -- as you know it's important to know who God wants us to hate.

There are many American Muslim leaders. The press does not show them to maintain a foreign image of Islam, but I would invite you to consider there is much that is not shown to sway your opinion. Check them out for yourself, before you answer.

Some of their names include: Dr. Sherman Jackson, Dr. Umar Faruq Abdullah, Hamza Yusuf, Imam Zaid Shakir and on and on

I have noticed a trend of pagan/witch parents who do not tell their children about the 'old religion' until they are 13, or not at all, or let them find it on their own. I was just wondering if this is a local trend or not.

I was in a pro-life rally a few monthes ago. It was a silent thing we held signs and just prayed. We were told not to pay attention to or react to anything that people did to antagonise us. But as we were standing there these guys behind us actually started saying how it was wrong to have teens doing it (me being one of them b/c they said we'd been brain washed). Then to make matters worse these college guys after driving by once came back w/ signs saying terrible things like the only good fetus is a dead one. it made me cry and it still upsets me today. I mean why would someone go out of their way just to get us to know they don't agree? I know not everyone was going to like what we were doing but still we weren't hurting anyone or anything. please can someone help me with this I just don't get it.

I would've never done that to anyone at a protest/ rally........I respect others even when i don't think the same way on certain topics

ok, one we haven't done in a while, I thought I would go through andlist everything that seems off and unreasonable or illogical

ok first off the ark itself and the specifications of loading it

--the ark was to be built as such; 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high, which would be a volume of 2, 531, 250 ft, built all out of wood and as far as we know, done by himself...a 600 yr old man, or least with the help of his two sons who would have been 100 byt this point. (not to mention the triple decks, which would include more wood and pitch to seal it with)

--also he was to store two of every kind of animal, at least in chapter 6, and store food of every kind of all over the world since the world was going to be destroyed, chapter 7 it gets expanded to 2 of every unclean animal and 7 of every clean animal, and 7 of every kind of bird.........that is a lot to be carrying around and a lot of weight.....also add the fact you had about 10 people on board, noah, his sons and all the wives of each

--you have the fact that it rained for 40 days and 40 nights all over the earth, and then the water stayed for a 150 days....so the whole thing took 6 months


ok there are the facts.......now not to mention the improbablity of something liek the ark ever being made since nothing of its proportions was seen until almost 6000 years later, or the amount of animals on board this ark would not have been able to fit inside cponsidering how many animal kinds we had about 6000 years ago. We have the food supply, which I hardly see lasting for 6 months even to stay edible, or to sustain all that were on the ark. Also, when it was all over raining, Noah started sending out a dove to find proof of land, which was a fig leaf. Now how a fig tree lasted underwater for 6 months and did not die is beyond me. Also you have to have food, which if they had any it would be extremely low and all the plant life would not have survived being drowned for 6 months to give food. Also the water that had been so much extra is missing, we never found it.

Islamically, we're supposed to douche. However, medical science has determined that douching isn't very safe for women. It can spread bad bacteria within the vagina and up to the cervix. Also, it decreases the chance of pregnancy by some percentage (forgot the number) Also, supposidely..the vagina cleans itself? So, it doesn't make any sense to douche..but if you're muslim..you know we've been taught to douche quite frequently..it's for hygene purposes..and it's Sunnah.

More than 40% of American Muslims are African-American
Around 7-10% are white
the rest are divided about 30% Desi
only 12-14% are Arab which is the same % worldwide

So, why do we continue to be ignorant about this?

my best friend and i were at a yard sale, looking for old audio reel-to-reel tapes. we found one that had the name of some obscure, now disbanded garage band. we gave a quarter for it. when we got back to my friends house, we were quite shocked to hear what sounded like elvis presley, singing and joking with the recording crew. we had it checked and rechecked, and it's authentic. an unedited, uncut, unreleased original recording of the king. our dillema is this. do we return it to the person who sold it to us, explaining what's on it, or sell it and live in the lap of luxury for the rest of our days?

I asked an almost identical question before this, but now I need to know what material they use to make the priest's white collar. Is it threaded material? Can you give me the name(s) of the material-i.e. nylon, polyester, etc., etc.? Any fabrication details would help.
