Make dua for us all
Not stupid, I know that. But I won't swallow the hadiths.......can't do it!
you'll swallow the hadiths when you have firm believe of the Quran first... is like having to pass calculus one to take calculus two
Not stupid, I know that. But I won't swallow the hadiths.......can't do it!
You are a grown up sister... Don't let anyone spoon feed you...
take a break sister, as i mentioned before... when one is tired, he goes to sleep... "the brain" needs a break too!... you'll be able to think "out of the box" at that point, and been more efficient...
Going to sound weird, but it's like trying to pick a paint color there are so many choices that you get overwhelmed, then stressed until you finally say SCREW it and leave the walls white.....
I can only say that I now place my relationship with God between me and him and no faith label. And if that gets me heaven or hell it is my cross to carry not anyone elses. And so it is with that that I believe an individuals faith is a personal choice and should not be held accountable by someone else's beleif system.
But it is a fact that when that danish film maker did that film, there were death threats against, riots......why? Does he not have a right to his own opinions and ideas? Even if we or you disagree? How can you call for his death under islamic law when he is not muslim? How can you condemn someone for using a photo of a puppy because you find it filthy? Why don't people use their time and principles to argue something more valid like ending *!*!*!*!ography, raising money for the poor, take your "fighting" mentality to countries that need your help....like Darfur, The Congo, Zimbabwe......stop moving into countries that are not Islamic countries and expect that country to change the way they live to suit your way of life. That to me is WRONG.

Sister Diane,
What I see from your recent threads and posts is more critising than getting knowledge. you look to people actions more than knowing the truth by yourself. youtube videos, Tv channels , some forums will all misguide you and take you away from the right path. When you get to strenght your faith then you will not care to peoples actions anymore. it is all based on faith.
I am Moroccan and I do feel sad about shooting to death a moroccan in
philadelphia when he went to pray the morning prayer.
A Moroccan American Shot In philadelphia
But on Sunday, Souliman, 33, a newlywed originally from Morocco, was gunned down by two men during an attempted robbery in front of the Al-Asqa Islamic Society, on Germantown Avenue near Jefferson Street. He was on his way to morning prayers, police said.
Cops swiftly arrested Joel McClearly, 19, of 9th and Dauphin streets, North Philadelphia, on the same day that Souliman's life was cut short on the steps of his worship place. Police said that they have a lead on a second suspect.
Police said that McClearly and his accomplice approached Souliman just before he entered the mosque shortly after 5 a.m. Sunday. They pulled a gun on Souliman, demanded money, and then a struggle ensued, police said.
He was shot multiple times and left for dead by his attackers.
McClearly, who police have tied to at least two other robberies and shootings, has been charged with murder, conspiracy and related offenses.
Members of the Moroccan community expressed shock and outrage over the tragedy, said Marwan Kreidie, executive director of the Arab American Development Corp., which has its office in the mosque.
Established in 1989, the mosque, which also doubles as a school and a bookstore, aims to serve as a shield for the Arab community, he said.
He said that the corporation and the mosque "have been trying to clean up the neighborhood, so we're surprised this happened. [Souliman] had a relationship in the Moroccan community."
Souliman, who was described as a "peaceful man," worked in a warehouse in New Jersey and was happy about life with his new bride, who is also from Morocco.
He had started praying at the mosque a few months ago, Kreidie said, and didn't know many other mosque-goers, but was respected in the Morrocan community.
Yesterday, Kreidie said, Souliman's new bride flew her husband's body to Morroco, where he is to be buried.

that is a rediculous thing. this is unacceptable act whatever the reason behind it is.
I wont jugde all americans to be bad or good. and that is how we should deal with muslims too.
wa salam
Salaam,
I always wondered where you got your news from. Almost every Western media tries to pick on Muslims and stir debates. I find it "ridiculous" that the media focuses on such a topic when you have Israeli's bulldozing and occupying Palestinian land, you have US soldiers trying to kill innocent Muslims whom they call "militants" & "insurgents", you have innocent Muslims in Guantanamo who receive no attention. We Muslims know they are trying to laser & bash Muslims & Islam. They do this for their own interest! Their history speaks for itself....
hmmm .... where to start ??? ... Lets see... first of all a news article is not a proof enough to get soooooooooo serious ... we really don't know how many people said but the media is quick to make an article like mountain from a tiny particle.Actually I am as happy as I have been in a long time.......again my reason for this post is akin to, lets say, to minorities still crying about the slavery of early america.......it's pointless today. Or lets say Gay people fighting for marriage rights, RIDICULOUS! Why should all of society change to Make Accommodations for a small groups ideas? So you don't like a dogs....why is it that they all have to cry about a cute little puppy being on public info sheet?? It seems ridiculous to me. And it seems petty. And if you have a problem with dogs because of your faith why the heck is that the country that is allowing you to live there a problem with the country? You don't have to have a dog, but you should not tell others that they need to remove it because YOU find it offensive. If you find it offensive or other non-islamic ideals offensive then maybe you should move to a muslim country. That was my soul point.
