Why am I being issued a "2nd warning"? What exactly was wrong with my statement?
When I said, "Because of the way Islam is," I was referring to the fact that Islam acknowledges that not every single, possible circumstance of life has been covered by the Quran or Sunnah, that there is room for <b>reasoning</b>. I forget the Arabic term for this, but basically it leaves some matters up to the best judgment of the Islamic scholars BASED UPON the Quran and Hadith to make a ruling on modern-day situations that arise.
So, what is so wrong about that?

One other thing, as I have been saying to some of you before.... if it makes you feel better to think that I feel threatened or confused..... that I feel some sort of "tugging at my heart" from Islam and thus I get defensive, well then more power to you. If it makes you feel better to believe an untruth, then I can do nothing about that.
But rest assured that I do not feel threatened <b>in the least little bit</b>.
I get emotional about certain issues such as Jesus supposedly not really dying on the cross, yet all the disciples AND JESUS' OWN MOTHER believed this to be true. But that does not suggest that I am somehow becoming uncomfortable with my own faith.
I'm not sure how many times I have to keep repeating that....
