In most human societies, females outnumber males. In the US there are, at least, eight million more women than men. What should a society do towards such unbalanced sex ratios? There are various solutions, some might suggest celibacy, others would prefer female infanticide (which does happen in some societies in the world today!). Others would think the only outlet is that the society should tolerate all manners of moral decadence: prostitution, sex out of wedlock, homosexuality, etc. Other societies (like most African societies today) would see the most honourable outlet is to allow polygamous marriage as a culturally accepted and socially respected institution. The point that is often misunderstood in the West is that women in other cultures don't necessarily look at polygamy as a sign of women's degradation.


After the WW II, there were 7,300,000 more women than men in Germany (3.3 million of them were widows). There were 100 men aged 20 to 30 for every 167 women in that age group. Many of these women needed a man not only as a companion but also as a provider for the household in a time of unprecedented misery and hardship. The soldiers of the victorious Allied Armies exploited these women's vulnerability. Many young girls and widows had liaisons with members of the occupying forces. Many American and British soldiers paid for their pleasures in cigarettes, chocolate, and bread. Children were overjoyed at the gifts these strangers brought. A 10 year old boy on hearing of such gifts from other children wished from all his heart for an 'Englishman' for his mother so that she need not go hungry any longer. We have to ask our own consciences at this point: What is more dignifying to a woman - A virtual prostitute as in the 'civilized' Allies approach or the Qur’anic prescription?


The world today possesses more weapons of mass destruction than ever before and the European churches might, sooner or later, be obliged to accept polygamy as the only way out. Father Hillman has thoughtfully recognized this fact: "It is quite conceivable that these genocidal techniques (nuclear, biological, chemical..) could produce so drastic an imbalance among the sexes that plural marriage would become a necessary means of survival....Then contrary to previous custom and law, an overriding natural and moral inclination might arise in favour of polygamy. In such a situation, theologians and church leaders would quickly produce weighty reasons and biblical texts to justify a new conception of marriage".

Jesus (as) bowed down in submission on the ground to God - {Matthew 26:39}


Jesus (as) said: “All of you who submit your will to God, are my true brothers and sisters (Mark 3:31-35).’


(Matthew 7:21-23) "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers! (Matthew 7:21-23).”


This proves that Jesus (as) was neither a Jew nor a Christian.


Now let us see where the name Jew comes from. {Gen 11:31} we see that Abraham took his family out of his homeland "Ur of the Chaldees". Therefore, Abraham could not have been a Jew because that is a part of Iraq. He was more an Arab than a Jew. Secondly, the name Jew came after the existence of Judah, the great-grandson of Abraham.


Abraham in the Bible is called "a Hebrew" {Genesis 14:13} which means a human from the other side of the Euphrates. It also means pertaining to Eber a descendant of Shem, clearly not "a Jew”. The descendants of Jacob were called Israelites {Gen 32:28} consisting of twelve tribes. Judah was nicknamed "Jew" so that only Judah's descendants were called Jews originally.


Moses (as), was from the tribe "Levite" {Exodus 6:16-20} therefore also not a Jew. The name Jew {according to the Bible} is not a reflection of "an organized religion" as Jews want us to believe, but a Tribe, a forename, an ancestor branch off of a large family tree. But worse of all that racism – 90% of Western Jews don’t even belong to those 12 Tribes – They are Mongolian Khazars, of Turkic race, who adopted Judaism in the 10th century.


Jesus may have been a Jew by birthright, but a Muslim by Faith.

there is a thought that we evolved from monkeys, this belief is totally opposite to Islam. We are created by God, and every living organism, plants, animals, space was also created by God. What are the things you hear and know about this monkey belief? check also informative online book Evolution Deceit at http://www.evolutiondeceit.com/

The image of Eve as temptress in the Bible has resulted in an extremely negative impact on women throughout the Judaeo-Christian tradition. In order to understand how negative the impact on women was we have to look at the writings of some of the most important Jews and Christians of all time. Let us start with the Old Testament and listen to excerpts from what is called the Wisdom Literature in which we find," I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare....while I was still searching but not finding, I found one upright man among a thousand but not one upright woman among them all." (Ecclesiasticus 7:26-28) One has to ask what is the wisdom in denying the existence of even one upright woman on earth ? In another part of the Hebrew literature which is found in the Catholic Bible we read," No wickedness comes anywhere near the wickedness of a woman.....Sin began with a woman and thanks to her we all must die"(Ecclesiasticus 25:19,24) Orthodox Jewish men in their daily morning prayer recite "Blessed be God King of the universe that Thou has not made me a woman." The women, on the other hand, thank God every morning for "making me according to Thy will."


The same severe tone is found also in the New Testament. Listen to St. Paul," A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I don't permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam wasn't the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner, but women will be saved through childbearing...."(I Timothy 2:11-15) St. Tertullian was even more blunt than St. Paul, while he was talking to his 'best beloved sisters' in the faith, he said," Do you not know that you are each an Eve? The sentence of God on this sex of yours lives in this age: the guilt must of necessity live too. You are the Devil's gateway: You are the unsealer of the forbidden tree: You are the first deserter of the divine law: You are she who persuaded him whom the devil wasn't valiant enough to attack. You destroyed so easily God's image ,man." St. Augustine was faithful to the legacy of his predecessors, he wrote to a friend, " What is the difference whether it is in a wife or a mother, it is still Eve the temptress that we must beware of in any woman." Centuries later, St. Thomas Aquinas still considered women as defective, "As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active force in the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of woman comes from a defect in the active force or from some material indisposition, or even from some external influence." Finally, the renowned reformer Martin Luther couldn't see any benefit from a woman but bringing into the world as many children as possible regardless of the possible side effects," If they become tired or even die, that doesn't matter. Let them die in childbirth, that's why they are there" Again and again all women are denigrated because of the image of Eve the temptress, thanks to the Genesis account.


If we now turn our attention to what the Quran has to say about women, we will soon realize that the Islamic conception of women is radically different from that of the Judaeo-Christian tradition. Let the Quran speak for itself. "For muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity, for men and women who fast, for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah's praise-- For them all has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward"(33:35) "Whoever works evil will not be requited but by the like thereof, and whoever works a righteous deed -whether man or woman- and is a believer- such will enter the Garden of bliss"(40:40) "Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has faith, verily to him/her we will give a new life that is good and pure, and we will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions"(16:97)


It is clear that the Quranic view of women is no different than that of a man. They, both, are God's creatures whose sublime goal on earth is to worship their Lord, do righteous deeds, and avoid evil and they, both, will be assessed accordingly. The Quran never mentions that the woman is the devil's gateway or that she is a deceiver by nature. The Quran, also, never mentions that man is God's image, all men and all women are his creatures, that's all. According to the Quran, a woman's role on earth isn't limited only to childbirth. She is required to do as many good deeds as any other man is required to do. The Quran never said that no upright women had ever existed. To the contrary, the Quran has instructed all the believers, women as well as men, to follow the example of those ideal women such as the Virgin Mary and the Pharoah's wife (66:11-13)

lets just someone forgets that they were fasting and they eat accidently, am i as a bystander suppose to stop them.


I heard that if you eat but your doing that without any intention, basically you're not aware of what you are doing, that your fast will still not be void. Even if they eat as much as they want, their fast will still be accepted.


so if thats true, then do we have a right to remind people, or shoud we just let them eat in peace?

The author, M. M. Al-A’zami, trace the history of Holy Qur’an in comparison with the Jewish and Christian scriptures – The Old Testament and the New Testament.


Holy Qur’an is a unique book in many ways, but the most extraordinary aspect of its uniqueness arises from its own claim that it is the actual Word of Allah revealed to Prophet Muhammad in “clear Arabic” (arabiyun mubeen, al-Qur’an: 16:103). The Muslims have always believed in this divine origin of the Book, which forms the basis of their faith.


On the other hand. The non-Muslims, the Orientalists and a whole range of Western scholars refused to accept the Qur’anic claim on a ‘scientific basis’. This denial gained momentum with the first translations of Holy Qur’an into Western languages in 1143, developed into a complete academic discipline that continues to flourish. New variations have been added to the original objections raised by the Makkan non-believers. Borrowing some of the tools of the so-called higher criticism of the Bible, many Western scholars have painstakingly


constructed ‘scientific’ theories that deal with the text of Holy Qur’an and attempt to prove that the Book, as we have it today, could not have come into existence without being changed and distorted on the way.


The book is not merely a refutation of Western allegations; rather, it is concerned with a wide range of issues dealing with the nature of religious texts, and a third of it is devoted to the Old and the New Testaments. At first sight this may seem inappropriate and irrelevant, but as one reads it becomes clear that the author has devoted so much attention to the two because the history of these texts and their corruption is directly related to Western attitudes toward Holy Qur’an.

Remember Bush-Team claiming that US forces found 100,000 bodies of Kurds who had been rounded up and trucked south of Kurdistan, machine-gunned to death, and buried in mass graves by Saddam’s forces. Well, like the ‘Holocaust’ and September 11 – their Zionist lies have been exposed.


According to Human Right Watch (HRW) recent report – As I expected, they come up empty:


‘This claim of HRW that they haven't got evidence that will stand up, because the graves have been compromised, overlooks one key fact: they were claiming that the Ba'ath killed hundreds of thousands. If these graves really contained all the bodies they're supposed to contain, the numbers of dead alone would convict the Ba'ath. If you read the report, they say over and over again they 'believe' such-and-such a grave actually contains thousands of bodies; but all they've been able to find is a few score (at best). I think that's what gives the scam away. They can't produce the hundreds of thousands, or even the tens of thousands they promised they would.’


On the hand, the most recent estimates of the dead total 100,000 Iraqi civilians and 60,000 to 80,000 Iraqi military, plus the almost 1,200 Americans who have died during the course of the war. The US occupation forces are currently bombing the 300,000 people of Fallujah in hopes of pacifying the city and may wind up leveling it altogether. Is the sky the limit on what it will take to bring freedom and democracy to the people of Iraq? Don't you wonder

Salaam everyone
