At the same time, however, Americans were startled by the reaction to 9/11 from certain quarters of the Muslim world. "Allah has answered our prayers" declared the Palestinian weekly Al-Risala in its September 13, 2001, issue. The Egyptian newspaper Al-Maydan noted that when the news broke that the towers were hit, "Millions of us shouted in joy." There were celebrations in Lebanon, Syria, Pakistan, and Jordan. Even in London, some Muslims rejoiced and Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed preached a sermon in his mosque calling September 11 "a towering day in history" and hailing the "magnificent 19" for what they did. In many parts of the Muslim world, Osama bin Laden became an instant sensation for having hit America where it hurt. Americans who hoped that these reactions were grotesquely aberrant, and expected them to be strongly repudiated by the rest of the Muslim world, found these hopes disappointed.

Hudson, I guess you forgot how to count. If I recall it is a requisite to being able to read a scholarly work.

The Islamic faith has about 30 to Christianity's 6. The one, KKK, is a stretch to call it Christian based. This was from your post

Henry was the king which by definition means power absolute. Spin it how you will. The fact remains it was nothing more than a means to acquire what he wanted. The other women.

I think you forgot about this site Davdah. Notice it is more than six. But wait, most of the Islamic terrorist organizations are emissaries of the Muslim Brotherhood. That is where the political and religious doctrine comes from. So much for your scholarly reading.

Henry VIII did not have absolute power until he divorced the Kingdom from the Roman Catholic Church. . Most history professors will agree on this. and no matter how you spin it, you are wrong, completely wrong, But what else is new.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I was referencing where you get your information. Somehow, I do not see you reading scholarly journals, studies, or books.

My comment had to do with the number of terrorist organizations associated with each religion. A simple and accurate assesment. What makes you think I don't know what the pillars are? Is it inconceivable that maybe someone besides you knows? I know this will result in the plastering of yet another obscure fact dusted off from the vult of vast knowledge in that thing called the internet. Go for it.

The number of terrorist groups is never an indication what a religion believes or portrays. And for the record, there are just as many Christian terrorist groups as there are Muslim. So, does this mean that Christianity is as bad as Islam? If we use your methodology,, of course it is. Or how aout that military personnel are 4 times more likely to commit rape? Does this mean we condemn all military personnel by guilty of association. Such McCarthy tactics does not suit well for America or anywhere else. You are no better than the terrorist groups.

Yes, there are people who know about the Islamic religion. They happen to be Sprint, Mike, Aroha, myself, and maybe a few others. You, however, as well as WUSC, do not know Islam, You think you do, but in reality you really don't.

And about Henry VIII. It still comes down to wanting to ditch the wife to be with the other women. Lust, not religion. It's not that complicated. And he was great by virtue of the fact he was king.

Henry VIII was all about power, absolute power. The reason why he divorced Catherine was not because of lust, but because he wanted a son. Catherine could not give it to him, neither did Anne, or the other 5 wives. Henry VIII used religion as a means to his own ideas. He used

What message are we sending honey?

The Myth:

Lesser educated Muslims sometimes claim that the root word of Islam is "al-Salaam," which is "peace" in Arabic.

The Truth:

The root word for Islam is "al-Silm," which means "submission" or "surrender." There is no controversy about this among Islamic scholars.

Submission and peace can be very different concepts, even if a form of peace is often brought about through forcing others into submission. As the modern-day Islamic scholar, Ibrahim Sulaiman, puts it, "Jihad is not inhumane, despite its necessary violence and bloodshed, its ultimate desire is peace which is protected and enhanced by the rule of law."

In truth, the Qur'an not only calls Muslims to submit to Allah, it also commands them to subdue people of other religions until they are in a full state of submission to Islamic rule. This has inspired the aggressive history of Islam and its success in conquering other cultures.

Degrading any religion will not serve your purpose or agenda. Every religion is unique but with a universal concept of loving every human being and respecting each other.

We are part of earth. I will bite the dust because today or tomorrow when my soul departs this earthly planet, it will be buried in earth, i.e in dust.

It was not able to provide any means of peace and tranquility for anxious souls. This is why it was natural for a man living in these conditions to seek happiness in the purely material world and look for ways of alleviating his suffering in ways consistent with it. Indeed all that western life could offer him was material pleasure: an excess of wealth, *** and other corrupted vices, with which he temporarily indulges himself, only to find that he is not satisfied. With the decline of family values and the rise of individualism, the modern man, along with the ˜modernized' one, felt his soul crying out for freedom from this material prison, searching for a release into the vastness of faith and spiritual light.
