Africa & Middle East - November 2007

I'm new in this section, but in general on this site I've read many posts that challenge the importance of Jerusalem to Jews.

I'd like to ask Muslims something, though; these are genuine questions and not designed to cause offence.

I realise that Jerusalem is important to Muslims, but how can you make such a claim on it when, in all fairness, it is not your most important city, but your third, coming after Mecca and Medinah?

Also, if it's so vital to your culture, why is Jerusalem not mentioned, even once, in the Quran?

And why do you pray facing Mecca, not Jerusalem, if the latter is so precious to you?

I am really curious about all this and would love to get your help. Many thanks for taking the time to read and respond.

I just do not see how it can work, the settlements aside; I simply think that there is a fundamental lack of trust and will power on both sides that would make it impossible.

Maybe we should start looking at other alternatives?

I mean think about it.....
they make terrorist attack
they send rockets
they have people who commit suicide
and our respond is - give away Gaza

so what is the message

let's make more terrorist attack and lets get more

now they are talking about part of jerusalem.

I mean the Gaza issue just made it worse, they still sending rockets and they are closer....
do you understand what i'm trying to say?

they kidnap our soldier so that we would give them 10000 terrorists that tommorow will make another kidnap or bombing

it's a cycle that you can't do anything...

My daughter just had a birthday and my parents (her grandparents) wanted to send her some money to buy a new cell phone as a present. This couldn't be done through the bank and a moneygram with Rennies was not allowed as well. Now I have to ask them to send the money to a Korean and he/she has to accept it on my behalf. Why is this?

I always watch these documentaries where it is said that some government officials and prominent people belong to secret societies that back them all the way as long as they keep it secret. Any of these in South Africa?

I know someone who used the drug and got alienated from her family, but is getting back on track. My mother claims it is still a big problem even in our neighborhood these days. So what is being done about it? Did the government and police give up and leave it to the social workers to address, or what?

I just wanna know if this is legal? The website copies all info from Yahoo Answers South Africa (even the personal ones) and post it on their web page as information on traveling to South Africa.

You were wearing your diamond Rolex watch, that cost you your life savings, and then a burglar came up to you and said, "give me your watch or your die"

What will you do??

Hello,

I am an American male who has always been wanting to visit Egypt. I will be in Europe after xmas for 2 weeks, and I am trying to plan a trip to Egypt for a week. Is it safe. I can EASILY pass as European, as long as I dont talk, in addition, people would believe that I am Arab as well, as long as I dont talk. I am finding really cheap flights to Cairo, and was told that winter is the best time to go. Thanks

the lesser of two evils, when compared with Hamas? Is Fatah genuine in wanting dialogue with Israel? Are they tough enough to pull Islamic Jihad and Hamas into line and stop the terrorism? Do you think that Israel and Fatah can work together and get somewhere?
