I wondered about that. Surely the word 'Allah' in English script should be treated like the same word in Arabic script, because in the end it is still a visual form of the same word (which is an oral form of the concept of the One True God, all His 99 names and everything which that entails).

But if the book is in a bag, it can be put on the floor anyway, right? I mean, it's not ON the floor, and is protected from dirt (assuming your bag is clean!). You can put a Qur'an in a bag on the floor, because if it's on a shelf, the shelf is on the floor anyway, right?

Why not add:

"Most courageous. Most generous", and, anything else you like.

Literally anything at all.

Self praise quite cheap.

In fact, did you know in Ramadan its free.

well you are posting on this like 200 hundred times a day, so maybe they have a point?

Seraphim — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 - 23:37

Alot of the Editorial board are either in higher education or have left already and work. Suffice to say there are still young peeps on there too who have college etc.

And life after education is no where near as easy as it first sounds TRUST ME. You'll find you will be faced with a whole different set of problems.
