Mecca is the holiest city in Islam and no non-Muslims are allowed to enter because the Koran calls them "nijs" or "impure".

Rome is the holiest city of the Roman Catholic Church and is home to tens of thousands of Muslims and the center of a great mosque. http://uk.encarta.msn.com/media_1041500181_761556259_-1_1/Mosque_in_Rome.html

Doesn't this show a great difference between Muslim tolerance and Western tolerance? Is this yet another Muslim double standard?

I need help so badly, and I keep praying and praying to God for some kind of guidance. It is really hard to keep my faith when I feel that I am being ignored.

Im very interested in Paganism and learning more, but the more visible groups I have found have been extreme for me. How do I find out more? Most Pagans that I am aware of dont attend any events and rather practice alone. I'm ok with that but need some good resources to learn more about it.

I'm trying to find out what the study of words and phrases is called..I can't recall the books names I read years ago, but basically it's just where sayings came from and how certain words came to be, not really thinking along the latin words but more common early american stuff thanks for any help

It was supposed to be funny. I'm am not Mormon, so it wasn't. Can someone explain it to me? Is it supposed to be sexual? Cause it sure sounds like it.

I have. Sometimes growl with their hair up & sometimes just act like someone they know came into the room.

Deep inside, I'm no more or less Moslem, Christian, or Jewish than my family members, neighbors or coworkers. We are people and we live and work together. So how can religion separate us from one another?

We are people without any religions, but don't know or admit it. That is because most of us inherit our religion from our parents, and never wonder about it, and therefore don’t know what it really is. Do you agree?

I took a bunch of explicit photgraphs and emailed them to this guy I frequently mess around with and I sent him all the pics. Tonight I was hanging around a friend who knows this guy and he told me that the guy I sent the pictures to is definately going to show them to everyone. What should I do? I know it was stupid of me know but I wasn't really thinking at the time. Also my nephew (he's 23, I'm 26) lives with him and I think he's even perverted enuf to show him! I don't want my reputation to be ruined and we know alot of the same people. What should I do? Can I threaten to press charges against him if they get out? I'm from a strict Catholic family and they would disown me if they found out.

My stepmother wants to prevent my father's family -particularly his children, from alltending the Jewish funeral he requested. She wants to bury him in a Christian cemetary in a state that he never lived in, and she wants a J4J minister to be the rabbi. Does anyone think this would satisfy my father's request for a Kosher Jewish burial?
