HELP.

published by RI_RS on 14 July, 2010 - 00:05

The conversation literally went like this, started innocently enough

Do you think problems in the middle East will ever be sorted out
Me: Not sure, maybe not-especially not with exterior forces in play
It's what they need though, exterior forces, coz they're stupid and think it's alright to blow themselves and innocent people up
Me: ...you can't judge the morals of many by the morals of a few
You can when they all do it for the same reason, they need exterior help coz they're stupid enough to do things like that

At this point i got annoyed and terminated the conversation without really overcoming anything

The Muslim Dress code

published by You on 13 July, 2010 - 13:39

Something I was asked about on Tribune, but I couldn't really give good answers to...

The question:

  1. How do you decide what is the dress of men etc? eg skirts etc - in Scotland they wear kilts and to someone unaware the Arab clothes may look like a dress.
  2. What are the restrictions?
  3. Why?

There were probably more questions, but since it is not a topic that I have thought too much about i could not really answer the questions asked etc, so I am posting here instead.

The Somali Islamist group al-Shabab has said it was behind twin blasts which hit the Ugandan capital Kampala on Sunday, killing 74 people.

In a statement in Mogadishu, spokesman for the group Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage threatened more attacks.

Police said the bombings targeted football fans watching the World Cup final.

A Ugandan official said a Somali's head was found at the scene of one blast, and he may have been a suicide bomber.

Ugandan peacekeepers are in Somalia, and al-Shabab has previously threatened Kampala.

"Al-Shabab was behind the two bomb blasts in Uganda," Ali Mohamud Rage said.

Should Anon1 be banned?

published by You on 12 July, 2010 - 15:01

On the one hand, we get constant posting.

On the other, especially today, it has simply been a slagging match with the basic guist being:

Anon1 saying: "you are a civil servant being paid for your views!"
Me (You) Saying: "you are denying qur'an and sunnah and concealing the truth when you find it inconvenient"

and then we go around in circles with these points, going through many discussions turning them all to be a part of this.

We are approximately a month away from Ramadan and by then if this continues as it, it will be causing more bad deeds than good, ruining the purpose of this forum.

A Libyan ship carrying aid and activists is heading for Gaza in a mission that Israel has described as an "unnecessary provocation".

The Israeli navy is monitoring the vessel's progress and preparing to intervene if it continues on a course to Gaza.

"I say very clearly, no ship will arrive in Gaza. We will not permit our sovereignty to be harmed," the foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, said in a radio broadcast.
