use the pause function if it goes too fast OR... Why don't you just pick up the book and READ it for yourself... ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

Is quoting the Koran itself abusing a religion? Let not the Unbelievers think that our respite to them is good for themselves: We grant them respite that they may grow in their iniquity: But they will have a shameful punishment. ~ Qur'an 3:178 ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

Jeffery, I asked a few questions of old friends back east and, weird thing, your name is known. I guess you are not paranoid because they really are out to get you. Who would have thought? ;) |

No. It's not. However, implying that you would use it as nothing more than toilet papaer could be construed as abusive. Air Cold, the blade stops; from silent stone, Death is preordained Calm Chaos Forums : Everyone Welcome |

Who would have thought? It's a small world... ;) But grieve not over them, nor distress thyself because of their plots. ~ Qur'an 27:70 It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

You're quite correct, in this case I was wrong. I've requested the post to be deleted. If I do run out I'll use the Op/Ed sections instead. Account frozen... |

On a German site arguing against the Koran and the Islam I found a lot "Koran quotations" supposed to tell the readers "the truth about the Islam". Looking them up in the Koran itself, I saw that almost the half of them (the most violent ones) were quoted wrong, or even were invented (for example, there were verse numbers not fitting into the numbers of verses in the surahs, or some "verse quotations" totally in opposite to each real translation I looked up). IMHO such arguments come from people full of hatred and ignorance thinking that their readers are too zany to question what they say and to look up what they quote. Unfortunately, mostly they seem to be right :-( Account frozen... |

such arguments come from people full of hatred and ignorance O ye who believe! Take not into your intimacy those outside your ranks: They will not fail to corrupt you. They only desire your ruin: Rank hatred has already appeared from their mouths: What their hearts conceal is far worse. We have made plain to you the Signs, if ye have wisdom. ~ Qur'an 3:118 ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

Think not that those who exult in what they have brought about, and love to be praised for what they have not done,− think escape the penalty. For them is a penalty Grievous indeed. ~ Qur'an 3:188 ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

Let not the strutting about of the Unbelievers through the land deceive thee: Little is it for enjoyment: Their ultimate abode is Hell: what an evil bed (To lie on)! ~ Qur'an 3:196-197 ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

On the other hand, for those who fear their Lord, are Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath; therein are they to dwell (for ever),− a gift from the presence of Allah; and that which is in the presence of Allah is the best (bliss) for the righteous. ~ Qur'an 3:198 ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

Now I'm beginning to understand why the 'evil-doers' demonize this little 'fairy tale'... and attack it with such venom... ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

Since something else just ... disappeared ... I'll say it here. "Most of you humans subscribe to this policy of an eye for eye, which is known throughout most of the rest of the GALAXY for its stupidity. Your buddha and your christ, they had quite a different vision, but no one's listened to them very much, not even the buddhists and the christians ... ."
