what you don't know about the bird flue
Posted: 5/10/2006 10:52:26 PM
Suther: I also think there is a need for concern.

Watching the movie Outbreak gave me the creeps. Something similar to that could happen. Who knows what the government has been screwing around with, and things could get out of hand quite easily if the virus mutates. As I understand it there is no cure for bird flu. People have died, and so have cats.

What do you think is in Heaven?
Posted: 4/26/2006 8:19:47 PM
Tim; I would travel all over the universe, exploring all the worlds that I could never get to before. (I am almost certain there are other civilizations out there). I would be able to fly with my beautiful angel wings. :)

I would find a paradise on one of these planets, which would consist of bright colored lakes where they are packed with fish; I would fish there and have a picnic with all the people I love, basking in warm summer sunshine. We'd have all our favorite foods at our disposal. Children would be playing, carefree, and we wouldn't have to worry about thier safety. There would be an abundance of animals who would have regained thier right to speech. Above, the sky would have an abundance of color and stars glistening by the thousands. There would be no sickness, no death, no worry, no boredom. I could invent anything I wanted to just by thinking about it. I could spend eternity talking with anyone I've ever wanted to, especially God, whom I would have a million questions for!

Now what would you do?

The deceptive war on ISLAM
Posted: 3/30/2006 6:41:16 AM

I still haven't seen a single verse that have been quoted from their Koran by anyone here where it says to kill anyone who has converted to other religions. I am still waiting and hopefully see if there is a smart one out there who has that verse for me.


First of all, we don't care if you haven't seen a single verse...you've been shown several...you deny them.

Second of all...it has nothing to do with your interpretation of the Quran, a non muslim, who claims to know everything about it. The fact is, muslim clerics ARE calling for the guys head, based on thier laws. We don't care if you think it's not a muslim law. IT IS OVER THERE.

Thirdly, the guy is now living in Italy, protected by the catholics because if he returns to Afghanistan they WILL KILL HIM. Despite what you say, despite what you say the Quran says, this is a fact. You want to deny it..go ahead. You are only making yourself look stupid.

This guy will never be safe in any muslim country. He had better not go back if he wants to keep his head.

The deceptive war on ISLAM
Posted: 3/22/2006 6:11:55 AM
First of all Mossberg, I skipped verse 2.190 because it is a separate verse. I already stated that these were not my translations; I don't read arabic. They are the translations of well known muslim scholars.

Secondly, the fact is that countries using Sharia Law do use those verses as a base for thier torturous laws. It is THEM that you need to condemn, not me. I am not the one who is condemning this man for a change in his religion. I couldn't care less what the Quran has to say, but it doesn't retract from the fact that Sharia Law followers DO, and are using it as a defense for thier barbaricness.

I gave you the verses clear from the Hadith. You claim very little muslim's follow the Hadith but that is not true. Very little muslims use ONLY Quran and not Hadith. Countries with Sharia Law are the ones who need to be made aware that their laws are false, not us people living in a civilized society where Sharia Law has been rejected.

** Thanx for the update Foxfire.

Please read my post again. I was speaking of people who think that only Countries where Sharia Law exists reflect the reality of Islam.


Sorry. Yes you are right. I am speaking of countries where Sharia Law does reflect the reality of Islam. (to them anyway)

Somehow I doubt that a Muslim, living in Toronto, who wanted to convert to Christianity, would be killed. Or Hong Kong, or any one of a dozen countries that have Muslims and Islam.

Please read my post again. I wasn't speaking of the rest of the world. I was speaking of countries where Sharia Law exists.

That's right. So, it doesn't leave much room to convert does it?

Based on those laws, it's not very likely many would leave Islam. To risk being tortured and killed is certainly not worth it. this is exactly why there are so many muslims on the planet today. It's not that they agree with the religion, and want to spread it around..they have no choice. If you are born into Islam, you STAY in Islam. OR YOU DIE. Plain n simple.

But I don't think that those tactics are necessarily what Sharia Law intended. Nor do I believe that all Muslims follow those interpretations.


Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter. The fact is, that in barbaric countries like Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and so forth where Sharia Law exists, muslims have no choice BUT to follow those interpretations. If they don't, they are beaten, hanged, stoned, flogged, and spat on just like thousands of years ago when the holy prophet did the same to all "unbelievers".

The fact is, that these things ARE being preached over there, and the old saying, "practise what you preach"..

WEll it's being practised alright. They are killing people for not worshiping Islam, beating women & gays senseless, and a slew of other monstrosities, because of Sharia Law...

Whether or not you want to believe it.

Q.3: 5
”But those who reject Faith after they accepted it, and then go on adding to their defiance of Faith,- never will their repentance be accepted; for they are those who have gone astray”.

Q.16: 106
”Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty.”

One may think that the dreadful penalty mentioned here pertains to the next word. But Muhammad made sure that these people received their penalty in this world as well. See the following:

Sahih Bukhari Volume 6, Book 61, Number 577:

I heard the Prophet saying, "In the last days (of the world) there will appear young people with foolish thoughts and ideas. They will give good talks, but they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes out of its game, their faith will not exceed their throats. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for there will be a reward for their killers on the Day of Resurrection."

Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 63, Number 260:

Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' "

Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 63, Number 261:

Eight men of the tribe of 'Ukil came to the Prophet and then they found the climate of Medina unsuitable for them. So, they said, "O Allah's Apostle! Provide us with some milk." Allah's Apostle said, "I recommend that you sh ould join the herd of camels." So they went and drank the urine and the milk of the camels (as a medicine) till they became healthy and fat. Then they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels, and they became unbelievers after they were Muslims. When the Prophet was informed by a shouter for help, he sent some men in their pursuit, and before the sun rose high, they were brought, and he had their hands and feet cut off. Then he ordered for nails, which were heated and passed over their eyes, and they were left in the Harra (i.e. rocky land in Medina). They asked for water, and nobody provided them with water till they died.

And from Partial Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 38, Number 4339

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) Said: The blood of a Muslim man who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle should not lawfully be shed except only for one of three reasons: a man who committed fornication after marriage, in which case he should be stoned; one who goes forth to fight with Allah and His Apostle, in which case he should be killed or crucified or exiled from the land; or one who commits murder for which he is killed.

The following is very disturbing. I dare to say any man who read it and is not taken aback with disgust has a long way to go to become a human. This however is the mindset still of many middle eastern countries.

Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 38, Number 4348

”Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas:
A blind man had a slave-mother who used to abuse the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and disparage him. He forbade her but she did not stop. He rebuked her but she did not give up her habit. One night she began to slander the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and abuse him. So he took a dagger, placed it on her belly, pressed it, and killed her. A child who came between her legs was smeared with the blood that was there. When the morning came, the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) was informed about it.
He assembled the people and said: I adjure by Allah the man who has done this action and I adjure him by my right to him that he should stand up. Jumping over the necks of the people and trembling the man stood up.
He sat before the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and said: Apostle of Allah! I am her master; she used to abuse you and disparage you. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not abandon her habit. I have two sons like pearls from her, and she was my companion. Last night she began to abuse and disparage you. So I took a dagger, put it on her belly and pressed it till I killed her.
Thereupon the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood".

Muhammad condoned a man killing a pregnant mother and his own unborn child just because he said that she insulted him!? This is the mindset of these people. They are still operating on the mentality of this prophet, still incorporating his "sayings" into Sharia Law.

Sharia Law is governed by the rules of the Quran. ..right?
SO WHERE, IN THE RULES OF THE QURAN, DOES IT SAY TO KILL A CONVERT?????

Right HERE:

Verse 2:191 "And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith."

First of all, Islamic States following Sharia Law do so on NOT ONLY QURAN. They also use the Hadith (sayings of the prophet mohammed), and the Sirat.

WHAT IS SHARIA LAW:
shariah: the code of law derived from the Koran and from the teachings and example of Mohammed; "sharia is only applicable to Muslims"; "under Islamic law there is no separation of church and state"

It matters not what anyone in the forum thinks Sharia Law is based on. The fact is that Sharia Law IS based on the Quran, AND THE HADITH. These countries can and will, follow what the Hadith has to say about Apostates, which is to kill them.

During Muhammad's lifetime, and the lifetimes of the next 4 "Rightly Guided Caliphs", a number of Muslims left the faith of Islam. The punishment for leaving Islam was death. Those that had left the faith were either killed outright, or were given a few days to turn back to Islam. If they persisted in leaving Islam they were put to death. This death sentence is in effect whether or not the apostasy occurred in an Islamic state or not. Muslims living in the Mideast have no problem with the concept of putting apostates to death.

Quran, Hadith, and Sirat is what these Islamic states use to base thier Sharia Laws. Going by the Quran, Hadith, and Sirat shows that indeed, the punishment for leaving Islam, either under an Islamic government, or not, was execution in Mohammed's time, and is STILL grounds for execution in countries following Sharia Law today.

Sura 9:73,74 -

"Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fire. They swear by God that they said nothing. Yet they uttered the word of unbelief and renounced Islam after embracing it. They sought to do what they could not attain. Yet they had no reason to be spiteful except perhaps because God and His apostle had enriched them through His bounty. If they repent, it will indeed be better for them, but if they give no heed, "God will sternly punish them, both in this world and in the world to come." They shall have none on this earth to protect or help them."


"God will sternly punish them, both in this world and in the world to come." - clearly gave Mohammed's followers what they needed to kill an apostate. Whether we interpret it differently or not, the punishment by God IN THIS WORLD, is carried out by the Muslim government (as judges defending Islam), and considered by muslims living in those countries today to be the death sentence. After the opstates are killed, they will receive punishment in the next world as well.

The Sayings of Prophet Muhammad regarding killing the renegades came when Islam was dealing with wars all the time. If the person wasn't with the Muslims, then he was certainly with his people, the pagans and the other non-Muslims, and he would've then had to join the evil forces to fight the Muslims. Muslims today consider conversion as an apostate, an infidel, a person who rejects Islam is siding with EVIL, and so this gives them the justification to kill them because they consider it WAR against an infidel, an attack on the Islamic faith.

It is from the Hadith that we draw our understand and information on the punishment for the apostate. Regardless if people in this forum want to argue that only the Quran is used for this sharia law, the fact is that the Hadith IS used in these countries, and Sharia Law is based on BOTH QURAN & HADITH. Hadith clearly states that Apostates should be killed...so here is your evidence:

Bukhari, volume 9, #17

"Narrated Abdullah: Allah's Messenger said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Messenger, cannot be shed except in three cases: in Qisas (equality in punishment) for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (Apostate) and leaves the Muslims."

Bukhari, volume 9, #37

"Narrated Abu Qilaba: Once Umar bin Abdul Aziz sat on his throne in the courtyard of his house so that the people might gather before him....He replied "By Allah, Allah's messenger never killed anyone except in one of the following three situations: 1) A person who killed somebody unjustly, was killed (in Qisas,) 2) a married person who committed illegal sexual intercourse and, 3) a man who fought against Allah and His messenger, and deserted Islam and became an apostate....

Leaving the religion of Islam IS considered fighting against Allah & the Prophet by those who are going on Sharia Law.

Bukhari, volume 9, #57

Narrated Ikrima, "Some atheists were brought to Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's messenger forbade it, saying, "Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire)." I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Messenger, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him."

Bukhari, volume 9, #58

Narrated Abu Bruda, "Abu Musa said.....Behold there was a fettered man beside Abu Musa. Muadh asked, "Who is this (man)?" Abu Musa said, "He was a Jew and became a Muslim and hen reverted back to Judaism." Then Abu Musa requested Muadh to sit down but Muadh said, "I will not sit down till he has been killed. This is the judgment of Allah and his messenger," and repeated it thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was killed. Abu Musa added, "Then we discussed the night prayers .....


Bukhari, volume 9, #64

Narrated Ali, "Whenever I tell you a narration from Allah's messenger, by Allah, I would rather fall down from the sky, than ascribe a false statement to him, but if I tell you something between me and you, (not a Hadith), then it was indeed a trick (i.e., I may say things just to cheat my enemy). No doubt I heard Allah's messenger saying, ‘During the last days there will appear some young foolish people, who will say the best words, but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for whoever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection.’"


Bukhari, volume 9, #271 [This one is similar to #58]

Narrated Abu Musa: A man embraced Islam and then reverted back to Judaism. Muadh Jabal came and saw the man with Abu Musa. Muadh asked, "What is wrong with this (man)?" Abu Musa replied, "He embraced Islam, and then reverted back to Judaism." Muadh said, "I will not sit down unless you kill him (as it is) the verdict of Allah and His messenger."


Bukhari, Chapter 26, from the Book of Mutual Consultation, page 339, following Hadith # 461

"The Statement of Allah... 42:32, 3:159, ...The prophet said, "If someone changes his religion, then kill them....."


It is quite clear that under Sharia Law, which is based on the Quran, & The Hadith (Bukhari), that Apostates can be killed, and obviously some countries are still doing this today, regardless of Our interpretation of these laws.

Afghanistan's constitution is based on Shariah law, which states that any Muslim who rejects their religion should be sentenced to death.

"We are not against any particular religion in the world. But in Afghanistan, this sort of thing is against the law," the judge said. "It is an attack on Islam. ... The prosecutor is asking for the death penalty."




I am not here to answer your baseless and personal opinions. It is a forum for discussion and if you are intelligent enough and have enough knowledge, challenge me with the answers (check out the challenge I put in the post above) with all your "might" and "Power" and then you will be out of my ignore list.


Hmm...looks like you will have to put everyone in your ignore list then, as the Afghani judge himself already said that this guys conversion is an attack on Islam and against the law, despite what you personally think.

Well I agree with Delytful, and using the Columbine school as an example prooves nothing. Those boys were not ALLOWED to have guns in the school.


If i was to make decsisions based on a violent minority, I would have installed metal detectors at the front door and patted down every kid in the hallways of every school after Columbine.


Well there are some schools in Scarborough Ontario that have metal detectors installed. There are also metal detectors on every turnstile of the front of Wonderland now.

I am literally ashamed of Canada on this ruling. We are giving in our culture and rules to win votes...it's pathetic.

Avian Flu Spreads To 5 More Countries
Posted: 3/18/2006 6:18:36 AM
Well as long as it's contained you may be right, however the virus could mutate, and I think our governments should be on top of this at border control.

The deadly H5N1 virus that causes avian influenza has infected 151 people since 2003, when the first bird-to-human transmission occurred in eastern Asia. 82 of these people have died so far.

26 MILLION birds have been destroyed so far. That's a pretty high number.

Avian Flu Spreads To 5 More Countries
Posted: 3/17/2006 11:00:25 PM
The deadly migration continues unabated, as the unstoppable avian flu was discovered in five more countries spanning thousands of miles.

In Israel three employees of an infected chicken coop are in the hospital, as they and thousands of birds have been found to be sick or carrying the virus.

A dead buzzard in Denmark was found to be carrying H5N1. This comes just a day after two ducks in neighboring Sweden were found to be ill.

In Afghanistan they've begun culling birds by the thousands upon getting back six positive tests results.

A hundred thousand birds have be targeted for death after an outbreak was confirmed in Jalgaon, India.

And hours after the story broke internationally, the tightly controlled press in Myanmar admitted that the disease had broken out across the country.

Meanwhile, in Serbia a teenager has been hospitalized with a fever and is feared to be infected.


Does anyone think this will reach North America and become a Pandemic?

Canada's supreme court allows Sikh students to wear their Kirpans (knives) to school
Posted: 3/17/2006 6:38:28 PM

And, there are no crimes on record, that I could find, of a Sihk using a kirpan in the commission of a crime.


Well SweetTalkin, I suggest you do some reading then, because they have pulled out thier Kirpan's before.

"The police said that these persons had killed Tara Singh with a kirpan. Further investigations are on in this case, the SSP added. "
http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=170859

"I went straight back into the house and grabbed my Kirpan and came back out.
http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=39&ArticleID=1374206

Now in that case ^ I don't blame the guy at all, but the purpose of this post is to show that YES, they will use thier Kirpan in self defence. Sure, a kid isn't going to be stealing someone else's car in public school, but there are plenty of other things kids could start fights over with Sikh's at school, and who is to say that they won't take it to the step of self defense?
They ARE ALLOWED according to their religion.

There have been, in the Metropolitan Toronto area, three reported incidents of violent kirpan use. One involved a plea of guilty to attempted murder after a stabbing with a kirpan. In one street fight, a man was stabbed in the back with a kirpan. In one case, a kirpan was drawn for defensive purposes.

Globe and Mail reported: "Ceremonial swords, the crescent-shaped blades meant to signify God's power and justice, were drawn. Others took out their kirpans, the daggers carried by many Sikhs. At least four people were stabbed and slashed in the bloody melee. RCMP officers, who had been in the temple but failed to prevent the violence, arrested four Sikh men charging one with attempted murder. ... As the Mounties rescued bleeding victims, some of the faithful screamed, 'Kill the RCMP.' ... Some of the faithful slashed at their rivals with metre-long ceremonial swords.
Others drew shortened five-and-a-half inch kirpans. ... Food was thrown and thrown right back. Women tossed hot water and tea at each other. An old man used his crutches to hit [temple president Balwant Singh] Gill's daughter repeatedly ovr the head, drawing blood."
(Globe and Mail, January 25, 1997) Interestingly, "Kirpans can range from five-inches to three feet in length. 'The fact is, the kirpan is protected under the Charter as part of Sikh religion,' says RCMP Const. Grant] Learned. 'But at what point does it become an offensive weapon? That's the grey area.'" (Surrey-North Delta News Leader, January 15, 1997)

New Delhi, October 27
The Supreme Court has upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court order convicting a Patiala factory worker for brutally killing his two senior staff members and attempted murder of a third, who survived “kirpan” blows.

Canada's supreme court allows Sikh students to wear their Kirpans (knives) to school
Posted: 3/17/2006 6:03:22 PM

Isn't the Athame a ritual tool, as opposed to a symbolic item? Aren't all religious symbols, and clothes, allowed in Canadian schools?


No, Athames are not allowed in schools, nor in any public place. Jesus instructed his followers to carry swords, but Christians cannot bring a sword to school or carry them around in public either.

The Athame is both a ritual tool, and is symbolic of the Deity's because of it's discovery and association with meteriorites and rocks. It is a strong symbol for directing energy & protection, as well as serving the Witch in other practical ways.

This is the meaning of the Kirpan from Sihks.org

Teg or Kirpan (Sword): It symbolizes Force, or Mahan Kaal (The Great Destroyer). This represents God, as Force, Death, and Mercy. Death, of the personal ego, the evil, and, ultimately, everything that He created. The Sixth and The Tenth Gurus taught the Sikhs to worship God also as the Force, and not be afraid to fight and die for justice. Death during such an act puts one directly in the lap of Force, or Mercy. For a Sikh, this is the preferred form of death, than dying on a bed or in the ICU.

Kirpan = FORCE, & DEATH
Athame= Protection & Energy

And from another sihk site:

"The Kirpan is there to protect the poor and for self-defence. "

"When all other means of self protection fail, the Kirpan can be used to protect yourself or others against the enemy."

So in other words, if someone is attacking the Sihks religion, and he fails to appease them with words, he has permission to defend himself with his knife.

The ATHAME is used for directing energy. It symbolizes portection and power.
The KIRPAN is used for Self Defense.

Sihks can carry thier Kirpans, but if Wiccan's carry an Athame in a public place it is a punishable offence. I fail to see fairness here. A witch would also not use her Athame for self defense.

A two sentence judgment based on ignorance that contains an alarming number of spelling and grammatical errors. You're right...BAN THE KNIEVES!! (what's a knieve?)


I think we all knew he meant to type knives..no biggie. I don't think many of us are concerned about spelling & grammar. There's bigger things to worry about...like kids bringing Knives (Kirpans) to school.

You think a sheith is gonna stop a non-sihk from grabbing it off the sihk and using it?

The point is, that we are not a society based on church and state here. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Our government is making a special allowance to Sihks..why?

Wicca / Neo-paganism is the fastest-growing religion in North America. Are we allowed to bring our Athame's to school? Of course not...so why are the Sihk's being given special privileges? Canada is playing Miss Congeneality for far too long to these immigrants. Enough is enough,, the line has to be drawn somewhere.

Right, how dare he continue to try to prove his point, as you do with yours. (isn't that why we're all screwing around on these forums?)

Good point, but I'm just getting tired of him saying the same thing over and over again..." SHOW ME WHERE IN THE QURAN...." when Millions of muslims are following Sharia Law in which thier head leaders and Government state it is based on Quran. I tend to believe millions of people over Pman, sorry. His opinion of the Quran means nothing to me in comparison with a government that is being run by it.

On an aside, how do you deal with the whole Burning Bush voice of God thing in the Bible? And I'm actually curious about that.


I think it's a crock of sh!t. A bunch of old men making laws for mankind so as to keep peace and order. I highly doubt God is the vengeful basturd that the bible makes him out to be.

I sort of agree with Pman in that the Qu'ran (which is the only voice of God, all other texts being written by Man)


Well, there is absolutely no proof that God spoke to anyone, and ALL texts have been written by Man since the beginning of time, including the Quran.

As to Passionateman's post....SAME SHIT, DIFFERENT DAY

So I don't think I'll waste my time. THANK GOD SHARIA LAW IS BANNED FROM CANADA!!!!

Can any of you point me to where it says sharia law is opposed to democracy"

like I said I am comfortable relying on the muslims organisations who challenged the use of sharia law because it is discriminitory against women.....that is fundmental flaw that goes directly against a democratic process...


I am comfortable relying on that also. I am not basing my opinion on the injustice of Sharia Law merely on reading things on the net. I have seen many many programs of middle Eastern women who told thier story to the press after they managed to escape these barbaric countries that they were so unfortunate to have been born into.

These women are so thankful to America & Canada for literally saving them...it's very sad what they had to go through. Thier tears are testimony enough for me that Sharia Law is a poison we must never allow into North America.

Of course they are not a democracy, because Sharia Law is not for democracy!!


More On Sharia Law:

The term Sharia itself derives from the verb shara'a, which according to Abdul Mannan Omar's Dictionary of the Holy Qur'an connects to the idea of "spiritual law" (5:48) and "system of divine law; way of belief and practice" (45:18) in the Qur'an.

Apostasy in Islam

In most interpretations of an Islamic state, conversion by Muslims to other religions is forbidden and is termed apostasy. Muslim theology equals apostasy to the crime of treason, the betrayal of one's own country. Penalties may include ostracism or even execution if they live or have lived in an Islamic State and are deemed enemies of the state.


Freedom of Speech

Sharia does not allow freedom of speech on such matters as criticism of the prophet Muhammad.

The Qur'an says that Allah curses the one who harms the Prophet in this world and He connected harm of Himself to harm of the Prophet. There is no dispute that anyone who curses Allah is killed and that his curse demands that he be categorized as an unbeliever. The judgement of the unbeliever is that he is killed. [...] There is a difference between ... harming Allah and His Messenger and harming the believers. Injuring the believers, short of murder, incurs beating and exemplary punishment. The judgement against those who harm Allah and His Prophet is more severe -- the death penalty. ("The proof of the necessity of killing anyone who curses the Prophet or finds fault with him" .

That is your own assumptions as usual. I don't back up regimes. We are talking religion here, not countries. Brighten up.



This is where you are mistaken, and I think it is YOU who needs to "Brighten Up". We ARE talking about COUNTRIES. We are discussing countries that have Sharia Law, and the oppression that it brings with it. We are not talking about peaceful North American muslims here, where there is no Sharia Law; we are talking about Middle Eastern Countries that are oppressing thier women under Sharia Law, that is based on the Quran.

Once Again Sharia Law Defined:

Sharia ,also Shari'ah, Shari'a, Shariah or Syariah) is the Arabic word for Islamic law, also known as the Law of Allah, and governs both secular and religious life of the devout Muslim. Sharia covers not only religious rituals, but many aspects of day-to-day life, politics, economics, banking, business or contract law, and social issues. The term Sharia refers to the body of Islamic law.

The role of women under Sharia:

A Muslim may not marry or remain married to an unbeliever of either sex (2:221, 60:10). A Muslim man may marry a woman of the People of the Book (5:5); traditionally, however, Islamic law forbids a Muslim woman from marrying a non-Muslim man.

Domestic justice

According to most interpretations, authorization for the husband to physically beat disobedient wives is given in the Qur'an. First, admonishment is verbal, and secondly a period of refraining from intimate relations. Finally, if the husband deems the situation appropriate, he may hit her:

"Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all)." (Qur'an 4:34 English translation: Yusuf Ali)
The medieval jurist ash-Shafi'i, founder of one of the main schools of fiqh, commented on this verse that "hitting is permitted.

The Arabic verse uses idribu¯hunna (from the root daraba ???), whose commonest meaning in Arabic has been rendered as "beat", "hit", "scourge", or "strike". Besides this verse, other meanings for daraba used in the Qur'an (though not with a human direct object) include 'to travel', 'to make a simile', 'to cover', 'to separate', and 'to go abroad', among others.

No , I am neither of those. However, I am not claiming that I am an expert on the Quran as Passionateman is doing. I provided the best authentic English translation sources of the Quran as accepted by the muslim scholars, and Pman is insisting that his own personal translation is above them.

PMAN: You've been show the verses already over and over and over. You insist that Damage does not mean BEAT. Bullshit. The word is being used in the same sentence as how to treat a women, so therefore in the case of that verse Damage means to inflict pain , and if you cannot understand that, then I suggest you brush up on your english.

It is not talking about damage to a building, a thing, or anything else, it is talking about how to treat WOMEN.

You were given three different versions of the verse in English translation, the most authentic English translations.

Point of fact:

1. You are not a muslim
2. You are not an Islamic scholar
3. You have no degree in Arabic languages, or theology.

Your personal interpretation of the word Damage in the quran verses we are discussing is nothing more then a guess. You were given the verses translated into English by Scholars, and they are accepted as being authorized English translations.

Then stopping assuming that my statements refer to their regimes. The point is that we are talking society, culture and religion, not politics. So as as far as I am concerned, I point out the facts to distinguish what is culture and what is religion and how to differentiate them.


WRONG. Sharia Law is RELIGION & POLITICS. The countries we are talking about are run by Islamic Law, (Sharia Law) which is based on Quran, which makes their politcal status religion.

Looks to me like you sure as hell are supporting thier regimes. You continuously bring up stats of the United States, when it's already been proven that women are abused far far worse in the middle east. You continually put down the system we have here in North America, and DEFENDING the middle eastern policies, making it quite apparent which side you are on.

Quran Translations [Locked - Redundant]
Posted: 3/14/2006 8:58:06 AM
There are many english translations on the net of the Quran. I have heard muslims say that in order to understand the Quran, one is expected to learn Arabic, so the English translations are not considered valid for debate. Until recently, some schools of thought maintained that the Quran should not be translated at all from it's original Arabic. The Prophet Muhammad apparently received his first revelation at the age of 40 in 610 A.D. It is assumed that he "heard" the words from God himself, since Mohammed was illiterate. Apparently Mohammed spoke the words to his friends who wrote them down for him. Later Mohammed had them made in the Quran book.


Now if God wants everyone to come to Islam as the muslims claim, why would he create a holy book that only ONE race could understand? Not very many westerners can read and write Arabic, and since every English translation is questioned, how then is one to learn the Quran? This does not make sense to me. I doubt that God would intend everyone to learn Arabic as the muslim's claim. If this was true, then why would he disperse his creation around the globe and give them different languages? I personally feel that a God that cares, wouldnt allow his true word to be lost, no matter what people were translating. If the Quran is indeed legitimate word of God, then He/She would make sure that the Quran was translated into all available languages with accuracy, so that all could read and understand it.

What do you think?

Canada's supreme court allows Sikh students to wear their Kirpans (knives) to school
Posted: 3/13/2006 11:03:18 PM

The laws should be that when you come to this country no matter what colour you are you adopt to our way of life...that means check your turbins, robes, kirpans or whatever the hell it is at the front door to our country, if you don't like it you can go back home and continue to live in fear.
My sentiments exactly!!!


if it were not for immigration, Canada would be relatively empty.


I don't believe that for one second. Native Americans were here first and there were a LOT of them before they got slaughtered. When the Europeans came CANADA was formed into the country it is now. Not the Arabs, Sihks, Pakistani's, and anyone else from middle eastern barbaric countries trying to change all the rules here. We would have done just fine without them.

Incidently, a dagger is part of the Wiccan faith as well used in rituals & ceremonies. Think that the school will let our kids bring it? Not Freakin Likely, because we are white, and they already have our votes.

yes, you're right, many ancient religous texts do seem to encourage the misreatment of women....Christian, Muslim, and Jewish. The difference is, in the western world, we have long ago stopped living by these texts as law.


Robbie, this is so true, and was very much along the lines of what I was going to write back to Pman, but you have done more of an excellent job with your post then I could.

The 3 different translations of the Quran verse I gave are considered amoung the world's population of muslims the BEST that are out there. If passionateman thinks that he interprets it better than the world's best scholars or muslim's themselves, then I don't know what else to say about that except enjoy your fantasy man!

Solak..excellent post.

The points have been made, and I really don't see how anyone with a logical mind could deny them. We in the West no longer live by old bible laws. People here that abuse thier mates do so because they are just plain screwed up. I don't know anybody who has used the christian bible as a defense to do so. The East on the otherhand, has been using thier bible for centuries to condone thier behavior...it's right out there for all the world to see; many muslim women themselves have been on tv, tried to escape thier countries, and talked to the press about thier horrible treatment over there because men there believe they have the religious right to abuse them.

And THAT, is why Sharia Law is not wanted in Canada.

Those are partially my thoughts, and also translations of english versions on the net. (Beat, scourge, beat lightly). This is how some countries justify thier version of Sharia law based on those verses. How I personally interpret it is only applicable to the origonal questions of this thread, as I am not a muslim, and do not live under the Quran laws.


I checked it out. Pretty interesting stuff :))

Two questions:

1. What's sharia law in your opinion?
2. Would you want to live under sharia law?

- Solak



1. Sharia law in my OPINION is a law passed in certain Islamic countries that is based on the Quran, Hadith, & supresses women's rights and freedoms. It encourages abuse & oppression of women as far as I am concerned.

2. No, absolutely not, I would not want to live under sharia law, and I thank God that here in North America we live in a free society.

Sharia Law & Womens Rights:

Sura 4, where we read 4:34, entitled "The Women," is one of the longest chapters in the Quran. It deals with many of the rights and responsibilities of women, rights that were first available to western women only a few decades ago, and some that still aren't.

Unfortunately 4:34 is extremely abused by many of the so-called "Muslim" men in the world. While disregarding their own obligations and their own righteousness, these men only focus on the third step of handling this difficult condition as described in 4:34, skip the first two necessary steps and give themselves the excuse to beat their wives. They find support for their misguided and biased views, and for treating their spouses unjustly, in the so called Hadith and Sunna.

004.034 Three versions:

YUSUFALI: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).

PICKTHAL: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.

SHAKIR: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.


On mistreatment of women, Once again, BEAT LIGHTLY, SCOURGE, & BEAT THEM

No. I have read the article thoroughly. You just copied and pasted one statement that supported your opinion and forget about the rest. Let's see the rest of them here:


No, I didn't post the whole article, why should I? The link was there for everyone to read it. Of course I am supporting my point, because you told me that was wrong, and the article did indeed say that most muslims in north america are immigrants. Sure there are converts, I didn't say there were not, but these are a minority. The majority are immigrants bringing the religion over here.

First of all Pman; the articles you posted say exactly what I already said, in case you didn't read it properly the first time, that Most muslims in North America are IMMIGRANTS. (who have brought the religion with them, and forced thier kids into it, and their kids and thier kids and so forth)

From your linK;

"The majority of Muslims in the United States, however, are immigrants and their descendants. The 1965 relaxation in U.S. immigration laws increased the inflow, which continues to this day. "

Now, getting back to SHARIA LAW, and your question:


Provide us a verse from the Koran where it says to kill someone who converted. If you can't, then it is your own narrow view and your whole point is baseless


I never said that the Quran instructs to kill converts. What I said was:


....people in the third world have so many children who have no choice but to be a muslim. In these same Countries, Muslims are killed if they convert to Christianity.


THIS IS A FACT in Saudi Arabia...THIS IS NOT MY VIEW, as you put it. I don't care what it says in the Quran, and apparently, neither do they. Deny it all you want PMAN, because it does happen. Once again, certain countries institute Sharia Law, and they CLAIM it is based on the Quran. I don't think that you personally have any authority over those governments.

Here are just some of the countries where Christianity is NOT allowed. Some are punished by death, others by losing citizenship or severely beaten; all in the name of Sharia Law.

WHAT IS SHARIA LAW?
The Web Definition of Sharia Law is as follows:

shariah: the code of law derived from the Koran and from the teachings and example of Mohammed; "sharia is only applicable to Muslims"; "under Islamic law there is no separation of church and state"


Saudi Arabia:
Religious freedom does not exist in the Wahhabist kingdom where citizens are only allowed to adhere to one religion: Islam. No legal protection is provided for freedom of religion, neither does this protection exist in practice. The legal system is based on Islamic law (sharia). Apostasy -- conversion to another religion -- is punishable by death. "

Iran
Islam is the official religion in Iran, and all laws and regulations must be consistent with the official interpretation of sharia law. Whereas the deterioration of religious freedom for Christians started with the victory of conservative parties at the beginning of 2004, a new wave of persecution of Christians followed the election of a hard-line conservative president in June 2005

Somalia
In Somalia, there is no constitution or any legal provision for the protection of religious freedom. The federal government is very weak as the warlords still have some control in different parts of Somalia. Islam is the official religion and social pressure is strong to respect Islamic tradition, especially in certain rural parts of the country. Less than one percent of ethnic Somalis are Christian, practicing their faith in secret. In some parts of Somalia, underground believers from a Muslim background find themselves in a worse situation in 2005. Five of these believers were killed by fundamentalist Muslims. As a result, many others became afraid and fled to Kenya and other parts of the world.

Maldives
In the archipelago of the Maldives, Islam is the official state religion and all citizens must be Muslims. Sharia law is observed, which prohibits the conversion from Islam to another religion. A convert could lose citizenship as a result. It is prohibited to practice any other religion than Islam.

Yemen
The Yemeni constitution guarantees freedom of religion but it also declares that Islam is the state religion and that sharia is the source of all legislation. The Yemeni government allows expatriates some freedom to live out their faith, but Yemeni citizens are not allowed to convert. There are a handful of converts from Islamic background who face the death penalty if they are discovered.


Now the definition of Sharia Law is law based on the Quran. So what is an Islamic State?

An Islamic State is a state that is ruled according not to positive law, but to the law derived from the sacred text of Islam, which is called in Arabic Shari’ah.

................................................................................................
The Organization of Islamic Conference Member States
Currently, the OIC has 57 member and 3 observer states

Source: Organization of the Islamic Conference

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an international organization grouping fifty seven states which have decided to pool their resources together, combine their efforts, and speak with one voice to safeguard the interests and secure the progress and well-being of their peoples and of all Muslims in the world.

Shari'a law: The death penalty or life imprisonment for apostates:

The word "Islam" means "submission to the will of God." The Qur'ãn says that: "No believing man and no believing woman has a choice in their own affairs when Allãh and His Messenger have decided on an issue." (33:36) On the issue of apostasy, "Islam clearly says: No! You cannot become an apostate." Apostasy is viewed as a form of treason.

the penalty prescribed by Shari'a (Islamic) law is execution for men and life imprisonment for women. Drunkards and mentally ill persons are excluded from this punishment because they are considered to be not responsible for their statements.

A person born of a Muslim parent who later rejects Islam is called a "Murtad Fitri" (Apostate - natural). This is viewed a treason against God. They are given a second chance. If they repent of their decision, they will be released. A person who converted to Islam and later rejected the religion is a "Murtad Milli" (apostate - from the community.) This is viewed as treason against the community. Male apostates are executed even if they repent. Female apostates are released from imprisonment if they repent.

And just for statistical fun, Islam is one of the two fastest growing religions in the world. And only 15% of them are Arabic... Makes you wonder who else is coverting doesn't


Islam is not the fastest growing religion in the world. Islam is the religion of the uncivilized third world where the birth rate is high, so it is only fast growing because people in the third world have so many children who have no choice but to be a muslim. In these same Countries, Muslims are killed if they convert to Christianity. Also, if you are talking about muslims in North America, many of them immigrate here, bringing Islam with them, and of course any children they have in North America will be muslim as well. They are NOT given a free choice of religion like we give our children.

You are one rude individual


So are you.



Hey PMAN; I was not the one who suggested someone commit the crime of child molestation in a church!!!! Is that your new thing Pman?

You are aware that child molestation is not only immoral, discusting, and against the law, but that so is coercing someone to do it aren't you?

Tortle; I did give the verses from the Quran, not from a sharia law site. I got the verses from English translations done from Islamic Scholars on Islamic sites where people go to learn about the faith. Some of the sites are in foreign countries with the origonal text in arabic that has to be translated by computer...so they do not have a hidden agenda as has been claimed. Now Pman is not an islamic scholar. He is a researcher of the faith like everyone else here.

If the translations in english are wrong, then someone please provide a site where an accurate English translation of the Quran is. Otherwise, there is no point in debating anything of the entire faith unless everyone on here can read Arabic.

You haven't travelled and seen them in practice and nor have you participated in any of their countries in different parts of the world. You are unable to distinguish between what is culture and religion. You don't recognize any of the groups and factions and nor do know what their belief system is and how it works. You don't even know the most important thing, which is Koran is the primary source of Islam, Hadiths and Narrations come second only if it is compatible with Koran. So that tells me alot as far as your knowledge about Islam.


Don't make me laugh PMAN....you don't know the first thing about me! You have no idea where I have travelled, nor what I have seen. Just because you say that YOU have, doesn't mean sh!t. You could be some pervert on here with a fake pic looking for young unsuspecting victims for all we know. Nobody knows anything personal about people on the internet other than what they type, which could be an utter lie. So as to where you claim you have lived, been, seen, or heard, means very little on an internet forum and has no bearing on the topic just because you say so. Your presumptions about me or my life mean diddly either.

As far as knowlege of Islam, don't talk to me about knowlege of Islam. You are no better than anyone else here. You are not a scholar on the subject, nor a person of any religious significance. You also claim to be a non-muslim. For someone who isn't even a follower of Islam you sure do think you are a know it all, even above certain countries who do have a 90% following of Islam.


It is impossible to find four witness if something is being done secretly, so yet again I repeat it may not be possible to find four witnesses unless there is four people during the time it happened and they have all seen it in their own eyes. With all the technology we have over here, I don't think we have had alot of cases where there were four "Eye Witnesses".


I already gave you cases in Iran where they didn't require 4 witnesses. You say this is thier law and not authorized by the Quran. Thier law is based on the Quran they claim, so how can you be right over an entire country?


I don't have time to waste with someone who has no background knowledge and only copies and pastes from different internet sites. And I am pretty sure you have got no Koran in your hand right now because you don't even know Arabic to be able to know what it is talking about. All you do is go on some sites and copy and paste. A laughing stock. hehehhee.


Actually it is YOU who is the laughing stock. A man who claims he is not a muslim, yet an expert on the Islamic faith....yah...okayyyy... As far as you don't have time to waste, well you sure as hell seem to be spending an awful lot of time debating these subjects!

As a researcher of Islam you should know as well as I do that translations of the Quran into english do not hold water in religious debate...so you are just as much breaking the "law" by doing so as I am. As far as cutting and pasting, don't sit there and tell me that you are typing out all your long posts word by word, cuz if you try to say that, I will say you are full of sh!t. I don't believe for one second that you are typing out biblical verses word for word. You are cutting and pasting the same as everyone else does here.

As far as discussing the Quran in origonal arabic, now that would be really silly wouldn't it?, I mean, seeing as we are on a CANADIAN site and all, with a majority of people speaking English. I would bet not very many people in Canada can read and write arabic.



You keep on showing us how smart you are by copying and pasting verses. If you keep on doing that, you keep on going down 'cause the verses you quote talk about something else and because you lack knowledge in Islam, you are only a woman



Going down to what? LOL. Only a woman eh? Well well well, aren't your true colors showing! Same attitude as those in the middle east who believe women are lower then men; objects of sexual gratification to be beaten....I see perfectly now how you are and what you stand for!.

You keep complaining that I'm pasting the verses of the Koran, yet you are the one who asked for them.



Provide us verses for the following from their Koran that you say is the source of Sharia law:

1. Verse where it violates people's rights
2. Verse that violates women.
3. Forcing women into marriage of slavery
4. No free will.


As I recall this was your request. I gave the verses showing each request.


Get back to kindergarten. This is what I said. You need further education. Your reading skills are really weak. I forgot to mention the American part. You are "American" by the way. Very high values there. lol. I have heard that the thug life has started in America, is that correct? If you got nothing else in your pocket to contribute here, just sit and watch.





Look at the profile: A four-legged animal sounds better than this crap:





You sound like an illiterate to me.






who give you the right to ask such questions? Didn't you read my profile already? You got a sister slave that I could take out for dinner and bang?


Your continuous personal attacks making fun of people's profiles, person, and slanderous comments against them are getting rather boring. Grow Up will ya? They have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

The muslims in Canada are different to the ones over there...


I agree. None of the atrocities that the middle eastern muslims do and believe happen over here. It's a very different religion as it is practised here from what I can see. Everything I have shown; verses from the quran, stories from Iranians, pictures from the net, is true. It is happening over there , and this is reality whether we like it or not.
