consistent and so they are seen not to be racists them selves the problem is not race it is always one of education and culture that gves itself its atitude to life no one forces any one to get into trouble no one can have any excuse for committing crime regardless who we are we are responsible for our behaviour now so why d people blame others for their own failings But may be White America should just try saying sorry it will not hurt any one and there is much healing to be done yet

You are encouraged to feel pride in you race & skin color if you are anything but white.If you are of white-European descent you are told to feel guilty over things that you are not responsible for & happened before you were even born.The words cracker & honky are considered funny.While the words beaner & coon are considered racist.It is ok to use the term pale-face yet it isn't ok to call someone a darky.A minority can call a white person pretty much anything they want & not have to worry about being considered a racist.White people are forced to be overly sensitive & politically correct almost all the time.Blacks have the NAACP & BET.Hispanics have LaRaza & UniVision & TeleMundo.There are 300 million Americans.Two thirds of us are white.That means there are 200 million white people in America.Who speaks for us?

I recently visited a street fair in Chicago where the suggested donation was $10 (for the privilege to walk up and down a closed off street with shops, food stands, and a live band). We paid the full suggestion, but I think it was a little ridiculous. A couple weeks ago at another fest where the donation was $5, a person in front of me wanted to donate less but the people at the entrance would not let the person in until they paid the full donation (they basically guilt-tripped the guy into paying in full and wouldn't let him pass until he did so). What is protocol for this type of thing?

I went on a short road trip over the weekend, about 40 miles from home. I stopped by a large chain bookstore, and found that the "atheist section" was five books on an endcap, but closer to home, I can find anything I could ever want. What has your experience been?

When a human here on Earth dies, their spirit either goes to Heaven or Hell. But very very few of their spirits stay stuck on here on Earth when they die. I think they are called ghosts, and the places their spirts roam is considered haunted. Well I don't know if they exist or not, but if they do then why is their spirit stuck here. Is it their own free will that decides they want to stay here? Is Earth considered a Purgatory. Can they decide if they can go to Heaven or Hell if they get bored here. I thought God judges us and makes us go to either Heaven or Hell, but then why do some stay here. I don't remember hearing when people die they can stay here too.

When the Almighty God is One, unique and peerless, and knows about His oneness, then why in the Holy Quran he uses the plural pronoun (We) for Himself?

The use of first person plural noun (We) is the sign of greatness and magnificence of the person (entity) who is speaking and this use is most appropriate and befitting to God. Arabs say that the reason for the use of first person plural noun is considered as proof of greatness that great people generally are not alone. The servants, attendants and other people are always around them to fulfill their needs. That is why they always used the pronoun We and the use of this word is a metaphor for greatness.

In this respect, whereverin the words of God plural noun is used it reminds us about His greatness and magnificence and we start thinking about those apparent and hidden powers of the universe, which are subordinate to Him. In this way our belief in Tauheed become stronger and our attention towards the sanctified self becomes more.

The Glorious Qur'an is the Word of God as revealed to His Prophet, Muhammad, peace be on him his progeny and companions


((WE)) is not the trinity as some might think?

i recently read the answers to another persons question on why atheists are so mean. many of the atheists reponded meanly which just proves the point many Christians are trying to make. im not saying that all atheists are mean, one of my best friends is atheists and i pray for her and talk to her about and she is willing to listen even thought she disagrees. SO MY QUESTION IS, IF ATHEISTS ARE TRYING TO PROVE THAT THEY AREN'T MEAN, THEN WHY DO THEY DO THINGS THATS ARE MEAN? THEY ARE JUST PROVING THEMSELVES WRONG!

My hypothesis:New yorkers (in general) are more genuine than Californians but they have a tough outer shell. Californians are much more friendly at face value , however, in reality it is more of a fake facad.

Peaples Suggestions:
If a Californian moves to NY , then because Californians smile and seem nice , New Yorkers will take advantage of them?

Your view points regarding the hypothesis and peoples suggestions would be appreciated.

The Quranic description of certain stages in the development of the embryo corresponds exactly to what we today know about it. After ‘the thing which clings’, the Quran informs us that the embryo passes through the stage of ‘chewed flesh’, then tissue appears and is clad in flesh:

“We fashioned the thing which clings into a chewed lump of flesh and We fashioned the chewed flesh into bones, and We clothed the bones with intact flesh”. (23:14).

It was only during the nineteenth century that people had a slightly clearer view of this question.

All the afore mentioned and many other modern scientific concepts found abundantly in the Glorious Quran, that was revealed 14 centuries ago, with utmost accuracy and free from any error, prove beyond any iota of doubt the divine source of its revelation.

Why haven't you prayed yet?
