Stoned to death

[Karen]

I had asked Popcornbird a bunch of questions further back on the thread but got no answers? Did I ask the wrong questions?

Remember, Popcornbird has a baby to look after now days, and it is also Ramadan, so she has less computer time than she used to, especially with baby M growing every day! You might have a better shot if you send her a PM, so she doesn't have to read through a lot of posts to find your questions.

Hey, I now I have been a rude and angry before. I have an apology to make, sorry wombat, I didn't know you're so... elder. We are not allowed to be rude to elders in Islam. Although I sometimes am to rude to my sis. Sorry Richard and Lady's Human. But, I'm sure you guys would do the same if your Prophet or Jesus was called a pedophile. I did like what you would have done. I won't call Jesus anything or Abraham because we believe they were prophets from God. Sorry about my behavior but I was just trying to clear Islam's name around this thread although I became rude and made the point worse. But things like these aren't supposed to be done in Islam and so they have to be treated that way if they disobey the rules. Don't abuse my religion and I won't be angry.

I was under the impression if they werent muslim they where beneath muslims and not worthy of respect. I could be wrong however.

Hey, I didn't say they were not worthy and stuff. To muslims we behave differently and to Non - Muslims we are told to behave differently. I hope Allah is pleased with what I said.

I didnt say you said anything, I was just passing on my impression of muslisms regarding non muslims.

Aisha seems to be the wife who is spoken of - as a child, she was initially betrothed to another man, but he was set aside when Aisha was suggested as a match for Mohammed, whose one wife had just died. Also, Mohammed and Aisha are said to have developed a true fondness for each other, and it is reported that he died with her, with his head in her lap.

There were two other "co-wives"; many men mentioned in the Christian Old Testament (most notably) had many wives.

Different times, different cultures.

Karen, You are very lucky to live in a community where there is peace & harmony. I am not so lucky. The raid that took place in a town called Postville Iowa with illegals being hauled off took place going on two years now.The kosher plant was closed down & now has reopened. Now it is all coming about again. This time Somalis are moving in working for the same group of people in their kosher meat packing plant. The town use to get by with two parttime policmen. It now has two fulltime & four parttime to keep the law. The farmers around the area have to lock everything up because of theft even the gardens are being robbed of their veggies. All is not well in America & being called Racist or Hateful on this board is a lame excuse because there are those of us that happen to live in an area where we see it all going down. There is no media here it is being played out right in front of our eyes.

I am sorry you have such trouble where you live, Bonny, really I am. Are the thefts all from the new immigrants, does anyone know? Are there any efforts for dialogue between the Somalis and the long-term residents, maybe by local clergy if the politicians won't do it?

Sad isn't it, how every wave of immigrants gets a bad rap, deserving or not - I remember being told my great grandfather ran the only mill in town who refused to post a "No Irish Need Apply" sign, and now no one thinks twice about Irish Americans. It seems everyone has an adjustment period, some harder than others.

[Bonny]

What you have is one group using another group to fulfill their religious needs. There is a Christian group that try to educate & help legal & illegal immagrants in our area. It is very frustrating to see it repeat itself again & again.

Sorry Richard and Lady's Human. But, I'm sure you guys would do the same if your Prophet or Jesus was called a pedophile.

No apology necessary, I apologize to you if I was rude.

I do not believe in any god except whoever made the planet and the universe that surrounds us.

I think it would be a dishonor to even try to understand anyone who could create something like this....

Richard. That looks like a frisbee

HAPPY RAMAZAN!!! And an advance Eid Mubarak because I won't be online then.
