  1. Everybody's been a-talkin'; they say our love wasn't real That it would soon be over; that's not the way that I feel But I don't worry, honey; let them say what they may Come on & stick with me, baby; we'll find a way Yes, we'll find a way Everybody's been a-talkin'; yes, the news travels fast They said the fire would stop burnin', that the flame wouldn't last But I don't worry, honey; let them say what they may Come on & stick with me, baby; we'll find a way Yes, we'll find a way Come on & stick with me, baby - Mel Tillis
  2. Beam me up, Scotty. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilithium en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilithium_(Star_Trek)
  3. Such a search would take a really long time and perhaps be fruitless. Men should take responsibility for their actions and not blame their own acts on the prophet Muhammad.
  4. There are no accounts that I have seen of the prophet Muhammad ever personally having committed an act of violence. If you find one please let me know.
  5. Comparing Muhammad and Manson is out of context. Also, Manson may have performed acts of violence.
  6. Those are perfectly innocent photos of the guys releasing tension after concerts; they had to relax somehow! People take these photos much too seriously. Everything was very light-hearted.
  7. He is not Muslim. In the past, Manson has designated his religion as "Scientologist". carpenoctem.tv/killers/manson
  8. I am not certain that Muhammad personally committed violent acts himself.
  9. Do you mean the way the Old Testament did? Larger font prevents having to squint. When they designed the message board they put the colored fonts in so people would use them, so I do. Mostly it's easier to read the larger print, and the color makes comments stand apart so you know who is talking.
  10. Violence is a poor choice made by men. Islam has many options.
  11. Violence occurs because with all the scripture available to guide them, men continue to make very poor choices in what actions they take, most often when they choose to vent their frustrations, anxieties and hatred. So I must pray for their redemption.
  12. In attempting to reason with an angry mob of men, I usually stay off that kind of subject because they may get more upset. In their blindness they have found a target for their anxieties. It has more to do with politics than reason. They are really only using religion as an excuse to vent.
  13. Men are sensitive creatures; they may at times get edgy when people insult their religion. For them the relaxation response was invented, to allow for a healthy release of tension.
  14. Men are not perfect; they use religion to preach the hatred in their hearts. Islam is not immune from this imperfection in men, but it is not limited to Islam. Historically, men have committed acts of hatred in the name of Christ, and perhaps other religions as well. It only illustrates the flaws in men. God (Allah) remains perfect regardless of the deeds of men.
  15. But in the jurisdiction of the Sudan, Islamic law applies in the affairs of men, and so we pray for the least of the extremes. No one is above God, not even the prophets. In Islam God is Allah. So no one is above Allah, not even the prophets. Only God is all-knowing. In Islam God is Allah. So only Allah is all-knowing. I remain His humble servant praying to make my way according to His will. I thank Him for sending his prophet to guide me.
  16. It is not for me to judge any prophet, as only God can judge men in truth. In Islam God is known as Allah. So it is not for me to judge any prophet, as only Allah can judge men in truth. Only God can know His exact words and I pray my faith guides me to them. In Islam God is known as Allah. So only Allah can know His exact words and I pray my faith guides me to them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam
  17. Men are not all saints and they come with flaws; the extremes of the Sharia law prove that.
  18. In Islam, human images are forbidden in regard to worship, similar to the ban on animals and objects in the Old Testament, (the golden calf); that is why you will see ornate motifs decorating buildings intended for Islamic worship, but no statues or paintings of people.
  19. In this case the teacher is in imminent danger. Of course I hope to see the extremes of the Sharia law subside, and the peaceful practice of Islam to prevail, along with mutual respect between the cultures involved.
  20. Gillian Gibbons' safety is the main issue. Muslims in jailed teacher protest British Meet Teached Jailed in Sudan
