assuming that you kissed on the 1st date,....... then the best thing to do is take them for a TEST drive to see how they perform, no sense wasting time on a lemon !
Islam is universal by its nature. And that's exactly why you will see that almost 4/5 millions of pilgrims from all over the world go for pilgrimage to Mecca, and they finish the ritual without any supervision of any force or government! Can you imagine in this world that a crowd of 4/5 millions of people doing their "things" in such an orderly fashion without any control of any power or government?!
By the way, we muslim ask for mercy from the Lord whenever we mention the name of any prophet, be it moses, abraham or jesus..any prophet that is.
Now this I don't understand, I was always under the impression that if you weren't Islamic then you were nothing, so I take it I am wrong there, and that Islam recognizes, these people, but the other religions don't do the same ? I am on shaky ground here, for this is really outta my league. I am a retired Soldier, I do NOT try " Normally" to even understand religions much less talk about them for so long.
I know some things about the crusades, not much but a little. My Take on that was that the ( OH BOY ) Catholic Church, wanted to be the Head KNOCKER and didn't want Islam in the way., Personally, I think this planet is big enough for us ALL to be able to get along. BUT then,....... what do I know !
My Personal opinion, is that each faith, wants to be in charge, for whatever there individual motives are. GREED, Power, ETC... But thankfully we are all entitled to our own opinions.
I could get on a soap box of whats wrong with this or wrong with that, but Nothing is perfect in this world.
Its a shame, I wonder how much MONEY, Time, & LIVES have been LOST to this whole subject..........
what I meant by the Baptist, Catholic thing is that they do NOT agree, that's all. for that matter my sister is Pentecostal. and SHE doesn't AGREE with any of them either !
But thank you so much for broadening my understanding of Islam.
.A lot of things, which are taking place in today's world in the name of islam, is actually the results of not knowing islam properly. Islam is not what muslims are doing today; islam is what muslims must be doing today. peace!
Thank you for the Clarification,
Now I am learning. what about the Sharia Law ? is that Both are just this muslim thing ?
well now I am REALLY confussed,... the 2 are different ?
does one subjugate there Women and the other does not ? Does one think all people that are NOT reading there particular version of the Holy Material should die & the other does not ?
I never claimed to KNOW anything about this that's why I ASKED in the 1st place. I was raised that, the ONLY stupid question, was the one you never got to ask. to learn, someone needs to teach you. which one is the taliban ? Muslim or Islam ?
seems to me that the WORLD as a whole would be MUCH better OFF without all this religious stuff anyway. LESS wars. less killing. and the Roman Catholic Church wouldn't OWN so much property all over the world. Hell, there wouldn't have been a NEED for the CRUSADES ! anyway I am wandering away aren't I !
OK !,....... what is the difference ????? I would LOVE to know. Just for the record, I suppose I am an infidel, I do not cater to ANY religion, I personally think there all, a FIGMENT of Mans imagination. Just for the record. HOWEVER, I also think everyone, should have the RIGHT to choose there OWN destiny.........
at the very BEGINNING of this, It was proposed as a discussion because of my LACK,.......... of KNOWLEDGE on this subject,.......
H E L L O <......... lets read the entire thing here.
I don't care to have freedom removed from ANYONE. nor am I in the least bit interested in, telling or being told what form of religion I should practice.
However it seems to me that MORE & MORE American Women are turning to ISLAM,....... and I just was trying to UNDERSTAND,....... W H Y ! ..................................
Nope, I just do NOT know. My Ignorance about a particular subject doesn't make me all bad. I know of no one, that was BORN knowing everything ! maybe you were ?
Forgive my IGNORANCE, but once again I don't mean VOLUNTARY, EACH and EVERY Woman like it or not ! the USA has freedom of religion, but that's NOT the same thing as being MADE to do something you don't want to do.
As far as I can tell,.. ( correct me if I am wrong ). the TALIBAN, don't ASK there women to volunteer for this. Personally I think we should ALL have the freedom to choose whom or What we wish to pray to, so long as you are NOT infringing on your neighbors rights.
Islam seems to be a do or DIE situation, You either ARE,..... a Muslims or you are in infidel in which case DEATH is your only option. I think I can do without this in my Country.
NO Its not that I cant see it coming here, BUT the Women of the USA being willing, sit in the back of the bus, ( so to speak ) is what I find amazing !
NOT Hardly, there is no such Animal..... However one that's Easy on the Eyes, and can carry on an intelligent Conversation. is HARD to find,.... Much less one that can COOK also.
