Society & Culture - 15 December 2007

I know here in the US there are laws about slaughtering. For example if a rancher wants to slaughter a cow he has to contact a butcher shop licensed to do so and have them hang it in the freezer for a certain number of days to age before processing the meat. Inchaallah my husband will be with me in America next year for Eid and we are curious about how the slaughtering of the sheep is handled. Can Muslims who live here in the USA tell me how you handle this situation.

Jesus himself was a liberal. In fact he was pretty radical. He worked to bring about tremendous change, he didn't compromise his ideals, he had ideas that many saw as blasphemous.

but in the US something strange has happened

Christian=Conservative=Patriotic=Supporting Bush=Having Family Values

Therefore Liberal=Godless=Immoral=Anti-US, etc

But that doesn't make any sense. Jesus was anything but conservative. He didn't come to save Americans he came to save the world. & he'd certainly not be supporting a president who started a war.

The Christian Right is so strongly anti-gay, but Jesus said to love your neighbor, not love your neighbor as long as he's not gay, and he also said that it's not our place to judge each other, so if homosexuality really is a sin, then God will judge that person when they die, it is not for us to do, here.

So basically Jesus taught indiscriminate love, non-judmentalness and peace... meanwhile conservative "christians" seem to be doing the opposite

I keep seeing this complaint - "you say we're going to burn in Hell" - show up in "answers" around here. I've seen it, but usually from trolls. So - simple question. Have you ever in your life said that to anyone else for any reason whatsoever?

I'm sure others will chime in here, and please feel free. If you're about to tell me about how many times that's been said to you, do me a favor - link to just one. If it's as rampant as you claim, that should be easy.

I get banned for saying the f word on alot of websites. What is so bad about sex isn't it the whole point in life? If it is such a bad word why not just declare it not english? It gets annoying especially when everyone else says it 1,000,000 times in a row as spam and you say it once and only you get in trouble. Why can't life be like south park so we can curse uncensored in every sentence like buzzed bunny on tlgmedia?

then isn't he responsible for everything that happens?

He could make you do whatever he wants and by not making you, he is also deciding, because he knows what you will do.

Sounds passive-aggressive to me.

Fingernails I can understand. They help with many functions. But what are toenails for? Or are they just evidence of evolution?

Illegal immigration is said to be getting out of hand but I wonder if the migration across the border maybe a good thing. First off let me say that I am a white male who does NOT have any affiliation with La Raza etc.But I have noticed the growing amount of racism that I THOUGHT ended back in the day.People are being as ignorant as before. I want to know one thing, will illegal immigration curtail the racial issues we have in this country? I ask because it will diversify America even more than it already is. There will be no REAL majority.We whites will be about 50% (give or take) and the minorities will make up the rest.Just look at Yahoo and see that racism (especially against minorities) is spiraling out of control. If illegal immigration will diversify America until we see that race isn't important, then I can't oppose it. What do you think?
