What a great question peaceandkarma and I wish I could answer it. You shall have no other Gods but me. Check You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it. Check You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God. Check You shall remember and keep the Sabbath...

Well he sold of arms to Gaddaffi ... maybe even the arms he is killing his people with now :mad: It was a joke (but not a funny one) appointing a war monger to be peace envoy. The links moonymoony gave you will give you the Shia perspective Wil. In a nutshell the Umayyads were a clan from...

Thank you moonymoony a very interesting video, as I know virtually nothing of Shia. Such a shame to see the comments from non-Muslims saying that's not what Muslims believe ... so stupid.

OH WOW ... I have a teaspoon which doesn't belong to my set ... I have travelling teaspoons. Hmmm I wonder if I should tie them to the drawer?

Oh well if it was a charitable act he was welcome to it ... he didn't snort an ungodly brew through armpit appendages did he?

Do you mean you find Sharia itself extreme or the Sharia we see in the Muslim world today? Is it Sharia that is extreme or the people who interpret it? A thief can repent and receive no punishment, 4 witnesses must witness penetration for adultery to be proven, a pregnancy can occur within 7...

OMG DrumR I must have utensil deprivation syndrome, should I see a doctor? So my teaspoons could be out there in the universe stirring some ungodly brew which extra-terrestials will snort through the appendages in their armpits. If they invade Earth will I be partly responsible?

Salam Manichean I too have never heard of it so enjoyed reading your posts. Welcome to the forum.

Salam peaceandkarma I agree and that is now the test for countries like Egypt. To find a middle ground, a way forward better than either culture has now.

There is an interesting article in National Geographic from 2003 on this subject .. this particularly rings true: "Part of the problem in societies that have adopted a more hierarchical preference is a need for cultural reform, so that they can become more in line with the Islamic values of...

From my local paper ... A Carlisle man who set fire to the Koran in an act of “theatrical bigotry” has been jailed...

Salam Zara Of course you are right, but I was responding to this "Indeed, since this has all become so splintered and confused over time, there is a good argument for saying that god would have a duty to get back now, and pretty much tell the Jews, Christians and Muslims how it is meant to...

Salam Quirky and welcome to the forum

Alas they are not heirlooms (or I'd have sold them by now lol) but they are part of a set ... my set is now incomplete and life will never be the same again

I checked it with as many sources as I could find. So either explain what you believe is the correct information or wind your neck in.

Me a wahhabi LOL, that is really very funny. I have always considered Shia to be Muslim and have always said I know nothing of their beliefs so cannot speak for them. As Bobx kindly pointed out, we are not discussing Shia beliefs., we are discussing Alawi beliefs. The information on the...

Checked the sofa, found £32, a comb, a screwdriver, about 3 packets of biscuits in crumbs and a cat I thought had run away 4 years ago!! But no spoons

YouTube - Classic Kids TV Sing-along: Alvin and the Chipmunks YouTube - Thai children sing along part 3/10 YouTube - To The Garden if you put singalong for kids in youtube there are pages of them in all different languages.

Here we go Thomas, hope you can find someone to traqnslate the Arabic for you (unless you speak Arabic?). I wouldn't travel without my husband but I have no doubt in my mind we would be most welcome and made to feel at home in Wil's house no matter how I choose to dress ;)

Many happy returns Wil
