Does it apply to the internet where you are anonymous and nobody can give you any lashes if you slip up?

Did it ever occur to anyone that the news is news for that very reason, because it's not the norm? A British teacher getting lashes for a name?? Worse was done to the Prophet (SAAWS) in his lifetime and he took absolutely no action unless his life or another's life was in danger. When the Quran started to be revealed, his own clan turned against him and was constantly lying about him. They were constantly telling anybody he talked to that they should move on because he was crazy. He took no action against them and never did.

And why blame every single Muslim, especially on this board? Anyone with common sense knows the psychopath/sociopath extremists who violate every part of the religion won't be on here reading or answering. So why blame all of us?

Oh, and for those who say Muslims don't speak out, just check my profile. You'll be surprised at the number of Scholars and Imams speaking out. Who's bin laden? Just a hellbound murderer. What is your say?

Okay, so here's the deal. My dad is married to a woman who has two young children. (One his, one not, if it matters.) I am not close to his wife at all, am never invited over to their place to get to know the kids, etc. I am operating on a VERY tight budget this Christmas season and so here is the question: If I buy something for my dad (which of course I would like to do), am I obligated to buy something for the wife and children that I don't even really know? While I don't really WANT to spend the money, there will be a big gift-exchange with all the family, aunts, uncles, etc. If I don't bring a gift for the heathens, erm, kids, I'll look bad, right?? I'm really stressing, because I have very little money to spend and I don't want to spend it on people I don't even really know!

What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance for your input. :-)

Sodom was invaded and looted (Gen 14). Lot, his family and most of the Sodomites were taken as slaves, but their King Bera managed to escape. Abraham is told about it. He arms his slaves and goes on hot pursue of the invaders for about 200 miles. They defeat them. Abraham recovers all the loot. Also, he liberates Lot and his family, and all the Sodomites! The liberated Sodomites must have danced naked before Abraham in celebration of joy all the way home like when King David brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem! Abraham became the national hero in the Kingdom of Sodom!

When Abraham and all the rescued Sodomites were safely returning home they were greeted by King Bera of Sodom and King Melchizedek* (*Christian theologians claim that he was Jesus in one of his epiphanies- Heb 7:1-3). King Melchizedek brought out bread and wine to celebrate Abraham's genuine "mission accomplished" feat! Bera and Melchizedek were bosom buddies!

And why?
I'm currently an Agnostic, because some stuff in the Bible is a little...hard to believe.
And Christans answer this:
Where did God come from
Where is He when I tried to pray?
Why doesn't He help us and the planet?

im not trying to start a religious argument, but i need to ask your opinion. first, if you are a christian i ask that you put your beliefs aside for just one second, evolutioionists i ask the same from you. please read my list and tell me which SOUNDS most appealing to you. (not which one you believe!!!)

creation-
*man was made in the image of god.
*man is a lost sinner
*each oerson has great value in the sight of god
* man has an eternal soul that will live forever somewhere

evolution-
*man was made in the image of beasts
*man in the pinnacle of evolutionary perfection
* man is the master of his destiny, not god
* the individual is of little value.

again, i please ask that everyone put their beliefs aside and just focus on the list and tell me which one sounds better to you

a girl on myspace who is black, accused me of being racist because i told her i have no black friends or there is nobody black in my family.
why would i get called racist for telling the truth? what is her problem?
how can i react to this weird girl without losing my rag and saying something i regret?

she said '' have i ever had any black friends or asian friends, ever ? ''
and i said '' No ''.
then she accuses me of being racist....so why did she even bother to contact me through myspace in the first place....why pick me out?

if i did get angry and frustrated with her....everyone would attack me and accuse me of being racism so i cannot win.

what do i do?

Earlier I posted a question part one, on whether or not Jesus Christ abolished the ten commandments, basically, I asked if we should still follow them, now that we are saved by Jesus Christ.

The overwhelming answer was YES.
There were a few, maybe 2 or 3 that said that we should not follow the ten commandments anymore, but I doubt they thought it through all the way, as they basicaly gave me, a christian, an open door to murder them.

My follow up to that question is...
If we are still to follow the ten commandments, by the same verses you showed me, should we still follow the food laws, which we 'to protect us' and made to help our lives on this earth.

I will include a link to the last question, so you may review your answers and the answers of others.
