Religion & Spirituality - 22 August 2007

Does it surprise you that this is one of many sites and organizations that are completely ignored when it comes to any media? Why do you think that is? We do speak out, but we're ignored. What do you think of the following?

"To help the governments and the media organizations of the Western World in order to understand Islam and Muslims beliefs, Muslims Against Terrorism (MAT) has been established with the following objectives.

To create awareness that Islam requires from its followers to be peaceful and sincere with the all humans.
To educate Muslims and non-Muslims that Islam has no place for terrorism and racism.
To educate Muslims and non-Muslims what Jihad is? And it's various aspects.
To create awareness about the teachings of Qur'an and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) regarding the roles and responsibilities of an individual, a government and a group of Muslims in Muslim and non-Muslim countries.

Accuse The Victim! -The maxim of Karl Marx, "Accuse others of what you do," has always worked for would-be-tyrants.

Do you think it is time for them to be exposed ?

It disgusts me, and I think the protests they hold are ridiculous, and the signs they hold make me so angry.

What can be done?

I got this idea because in the word excommunication is the root "common" which hints to some sharing between people or belonging to a group.
I had this YA member, an extremely obnoxious person, sending me all kinds of unpleasant words. I answered him in kind and offered some kind of challenge. He kept on vituperating but without getting to the point. As I got tired of getting nowhere, I finally blocked him. It was the first time I ever blocked anyone, but now he´s foaming at the mouth even worse than ever. Needless to say, he´s either on the fanatic side of christianism or has got an ego the size of an oil supertanker. So my Q is: Did I somehow excommunicated him? Is it an exile? Does he feel neglected now? Was he expecting some love-hate relationship? or was he only outraged?

Doesn't it imply that every non-christian is morally inferior to christians...?

If not then obviously bible is "not" source of all morals.

You can't have it either way.

So what is it christians... you consider 80% of human beings are morally inferior to you?

Is it possible? Do you think we could ever (realistically) come to terms and acknowledge that we worship God and will strive to do good?

And even if u are atheist then couldn't we share our interests in saving the environment/fighting evil factory farms and allowing for freedom of expression?

I mean, we would all have to make some compromises (not at the price of our religions of course) but just enough to where everyone is satisifed.

okay. i believe in God but im confused about a couple of things. 1) if we are all Gods children..we all are related. right? somehow im related to my next door neighbor. 2) God was white black asian ect. he had to be one of those. how did black ppl, asain ppl, white ppl ect. come into this world? how did that mix of ppl come in? 3) Why do we assume God is a guy? couldnt he be a women? God is everything?

please answer as honestly as you can or feel free to e mail me.
I especially want to hear from athiests that were once believers. Have you always been an athiest or were you once a beliver. What happened to make you stop believing. Do you really believe there is no God or are you just very angry at him to the point that you hardened your heart towards him?
Thank you for you answer. : D

There are so many end times prophecies circulating on the internet plus ones you've seen on TV about the world coming to an end, or changing drastically, so which one are you hoping won't come to pass.

so the entire wolrd hates us and thinks we are terrorists.
but we know in our hearts what our religion teaches right. so will we be able to get through this rough patch? i hope we can. what surprises me the most is that i am so kind to christians, jews, and those who follow other faiths. but most of them are so unkind to us. this is our sturuggle and i hope the fellow muslims agree that Inshallah we will get through it.

may the Lord keep our FAITH strong an dour hearts OPEN<3

my opinion is that they're completely different, but there's this certain christian man who is just convinced that harry potter will lead the little children to wicca. he hasn't read any of the books, and probably knows nothing about wicca, or any sort of witchcraft at all, but he claims J. K. used "the same words" as wiccan spells do. I did a little research and it looks like he's full of it, but I myself don't know much about "real" witchcraft (just harry potter). I know J. K. used latin for most spells, do wiccans use latin? any opinions/other facts on this matter would be great. thanks in advance!

Example: Women are commanded to cover their hair while praying but almost no Christian women follow this...why? If the Bible is truly God's word its light would shine for all time and be an example for all mankind. It would never become "outdated"?

OK I have done some research here are the BIGGEST "so called" evidences
1-- Heidelbergman, found 1907(supposed to be ape-man link) turned out to be 100% human
2-- Nebraska man, found 1922(supposed to be ape-man link) a HUGE stretch from a STRANGE LOOKING TOOTH---turned out to be a pigs tooth
3--Piltdown man, found 1912(supposed to be ape-man link) 100% FRAUD...built from the jawborn of an ape, filed down teeth, and a mans skull
4--Peking man, found after WW1(supposed to be ape-man link) presumed to be baboon bones---also found at this site were REAL HUMAN BONES
5--Neanderthal man---turned out to be an old man who was stooped over because he had ARTHRITIS
6--Crow-magnon man, cave inscriptions where this man was found reveal that crow-mangon man wore pants, shirts and shoes....LOL
7--Colorado man---another fraud, built from a SINGLE TOOTH FROM A HORSE
8--Java man (homo erectus)--built form a skull cap of an ape and a thigh bone from a man they found 50 YEARS LATTER

Every field of Science is based on hypothesis and any of them can be flawed, according to Fundamentalists' logic.

So why do you trust those medicines at all? It's not good idea to trust Scientists/Physicists/Doctors, you know... makes you a "bad christian".


Instead... shouldn't you be doing something that has more powerful effect, and that cures instantly.. i.e. praying?

I have been told by my church that i cannot recieve the holy eucharist and that ive been excommunicated because i have been divorced, and because i wasnt married within the church in the first place, i did it through courts..

Is this legitimate for them to say this to me? is it a law implemented long ago by christian/catholic churches or is it just this particular churches decision to say this to me??

P.S. - any Weblinks and references will be HIGHLY appreciated as well..

thanks to all that reply....
