Re: Why do they choose Islam ?

Hi friend! Why do they choose Islam ? Islam , in spite of the shaky and precarious picture that the blind –hearted media propagates all over the world , is most acceptable religion all over the world now. I'm not sure that Islam is the most acceptable religion in the world. I think there are a milli...

I am glad that 'hi friend' posted all those hadith/verses/injunctions showing the respect and kind treatment which Islam enjoins us to show towards animals. I think this is really, really important. I say this because everyone knows that for some reason there is a general feeling that animals are tr...

Still I can't help thinking still what sort of 'dance' they were doing whilst eating pork - it was not line dancing by any chance? I have never been to keen on that as the hats look rather silly to me. Yeah you are right. Line-dancing is, irrepairably, crap. And I guess a stetson-wearing, bacon-eat...

It gets kind of funny the more you read it; invites its friends to have love with its mate How can a pig invite another male pig to procreate with it's female? Does it kind of make a gesture with its trotter in the females direction and then winks its eye? I'm not entirely sure. Although fortunatel...

Hi ebonics. I think you're a little one-sided with some of your ideas. The whole war vs terrorism debate...the idea that the west or other religions only declare war, while muslims seem only to implement terrorism (no you didn't say that but it is heavily implied)...it's the dross you read in any av...
