During the last two decades in particular, the concept of "Islamic terror" has been often discussed. In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks on targets in New York and Washington which caused the death of thousands of innocent civilians, this concept has once again returned to the top of the international agenda.

As Muslims, we completely condemn these attacks and offer our condolences to the American people.

In this article, we will explain that Islam is by no means the source of this violence and that violence has no place in Islam.

Even if the terrorists have Muslim identities, the terror they perpetrated cannot be labeled "Islamic terror", just as it would not be called "Jewish terror" if the perpetrators were Jews or "Christian terror" if they were Christians.

... he or she takes off its clothes, revealing he/she carries Hi-explosives/C-4 and he/she's about to detonate it!!!

Now, you only have split second to do here! What would you do now? Could you make it and get out of there alive and well...? Or are you going to spontaneously charge at that maniac and hopefully prevent him/her to detonate all the explosives...? What would you do then...? It's matter of life or death here!!

I don't agree with a great deal of his ideas, but alas he does have a few good points. What do people think of him? He is the American liberal theologian who says the church in its current form is ridiculous, and if it keeps up what it preaches, they will disappear.

We go to the same gym and have had incidents bordering on racial(with her being iranian and me being asian).I have given her the space she needs though and have been respectful of it entirely.But she will still loo at me at times and try t get my attention.I don't oblige because it pisses me off.and i don't trust her entirely.Anyway after our workout she passes me in the hallway and smiles and i wave at her back.Is this a good thing?And what could it mean?

So the Iranian president said the Holocaust didn't happen. Who is he outside of Iran? He doesn't speak for the 1.9 billion Muslims in the world. Why do you say that because this one man said this, all 1.9 billion of us say it? I know it happened, there are some Jewish in my very city who are still alive and have those marks on their arms. I've heard all sides and I know it happened. This Muslimah knows it, many do. So why say that we all think this based on what one man said? So is it safe to assume that because in the past year there have been at least 3 parents who microwaved their babies in the US, I should say that all parents in America would do that? No, that's stupid. I'm also American, and I'd never harm my children. So why make these stereotypes about us based on what one idiot says?

Is there a God, or are all of us created from the "big band" therefore making us part of God....or the Force.

If you were serving on a jury...and the person was accused of a heinous crime....and all the evidence pointed to their guilt, and their defense was "Satan made me do it..."

Would you let them off? Why or why not? Doesn't Satan make people do bad things???? Wouldn't their defense be a viable one??? Why or why not????

What does this mean? Im confused!!!!!!!!!?
What is saint gabriel archangel patron of?

I just a had a dream where i meet a man. I saw a glimpse of the side of his face and then I walked away in a room and started looking at the pictures. One was of a statue of michael angelo and the picture morphed into a person that I Identified as Saint gabriel and he told me that the man i saw/meet was the man of my life.

This makes no sense to me cause in real life im single and i have not meet anyone. The man i saw in my dream i have never seen nor meet. To be honest, he didnt seem like the type of man i would be attracted to.

What does this dream mean? Im lost? Im hoping that by knowing the patronage of saint Gabriel it would clear things up...help.

Ok, so i was in a relationship with this guy who is a pastor, well im not quite sure what i believe in. and he said that was alright. But just the other day he said he can't be with me b/c i don't believen god. and i don't put him first. but doesn't it state in the bible to be happy? i mean does it really say in the bible he can't be with me and marry me and love me b/c im not sure what i believe? I never once put down his religion, and said i would go to church with him. and still he said he can't be wit me. is this true? or is there a loop hole that i can tell him about??
