  • You all need to stop fooling yourselves. If you saw a four year old drinking some alcoholic drink, be it wine, beer, whiskey, whatever, would you merely accept it. Would it be something ordinary? Of course not, you would be appalled. Why? Because “i…

  • Don’t get so analytical, lets try to keep out all the convoluted “what ifs” and be more realistic. The bottom line is there are more misfortunes due to drinking and they are things that could have easily been prevented. Whereas, the misfortunes due …

  • You can’t make a correlation between drinking and not driving. You MUST drive to get around; to go food shopping; to go to church; to visit your sick grandma in the hospital, to drive your pregnant wife to the hospital, to pick up gidoo from the air…

  • The Quran is basically some of the bible, mixed with some stuff that Mohammed thought would sound interesting. Keep in mind Islam was founded by a bishop who made a wrong turn; when he died Mohammed went crazy and just came up with a bunch of stuff …

  • Abstaining is a persons best bet. Plenty of you have said moderation is the key. The way I see it; if alcohol is something that has the potential to do harm and the potential to hinder an individuals senses, memory, ect. A little bit of it is just …

  • Obviously feelings are given to us from god. However these feeling of lust and thoughts that cause a person to constantly occupy your mind are not feelings from god. if you are in church, a place where you should be praying to god, and your mind is …

  • I can see where you would conceive that idea, however, that clearly isn’t the case if I can explain to a person 100 times that I’m not Muslim and they still have the impression that I am.
  • Why not? Why don’t you read the previous 150 posts on this topic and it might give you about 50 reasons ‘why not’. CS was joking by the way...
  • Decide limits to what? We’ve already established that engagement would be the proper route and it took 11 pages of redundant comments to do so. This thread serves no purpose considering this is a topic that we’ve already discussed and came to some t…
  • No, we don’t know what you mean. Saying that a 12 year old can seek a relationship is irrational. Is he going to bring in his significant other to his parents house and watch cartoons? When a person is stable then they can seek somebody to marry, th…
  • It isn’t an inquiry; it’s an attempt to find security for their sin. And I am DONE.
  • Like you said, we aren’t going to start a new dating discussion in here. In those 11 some odd pages, there isn’t one aspect we haven’t addressed and then addressed again; even the one you just brought up. Reading the 11 pages would be highly benefic…
  • The conclusion we came to is people try to find justification for their misguidance by coming on tasbeha.org and brining up a reason why dating might be right although it has already been assessed and proved unconstructive.
  • I also think they are under the impression that the cross is some type of decoration. Rather than it being symbolic of Christianity and Jesus, to them it’s merely an ornament. I personally don’t wear jewelry; however, I’ve seen many cases of people …
  • No actually, very few people know of us. Its hard for people to grasp the idea that we aren’t Muslim due to the fact we are from Egypt. This would be a conversation with your typical person… Person: Oh cool you’re from Egypt! So are you Muslim? Me:…
  • I must say I agree with you. Living in NYC, I’ve seen more than my share of things that make my cringe. The people here are terribly misguided and can’t control the beautiful minds God has given them. The last thing we need is a president who will g…
  • Your absolutely right CS… it is possible that we may discover what really happened. You’re missing my point however; all I meant is that whatever chain of events that lead up to the creation of the world were controlled by God. They surely were not …
  • The only reason the churches have a dilemma with the theory of evolution is because those who support it generally dismiss any presence of god. That is the real problem. Whether or not there was a big bang; how it was started; whether or not the ban…
  • I think the main point of fasting is to acquire self control. Fasting might appear a simple task, however, that isn’t the case. If you have control over your appetite, you can control anything else. I really don’t think there is any correlation be…
  • The truth of the matter is, these animals are gifts from god. I personally feel we shouldn’t reject these gifts. While people in America sit and say they don’t like meat, there is some starving child in Egypt who doesn’t even know what meat taste li…

  • Gen 9:1-3 "So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, a…

  • Good call karfaw...
  • No sir, you didn’t receive a bad welcome. In fact I believe my first word was “welcome” Simply you need to work on your debating etiquette. People don’t respond well to vulgar behavior, that’s a fact of life. I’m sorry you had to learn it the hard w…
  • Please basbusa, watch your language.
  • [quote author=basbusa link=board=1;threadid=260;start=15#msg1980 date=1085001047]“I don't want here to make a treatee if not you will accuse me to be muslim.“ [/quote] Well my friend, as for whether or not you are Muslim; I do not know. What I do k…
  • History lesson…. Waaaaaaaay back before there were any schisms in the Christian church around 400 A.D., there was only one Christian religion; it was dominated by Rome. After some time, there was a disagreement between those in charge of Egypt (pop…
  • We do not hate anybody. We just disagree with the path Muslims have sadly chosen. The religion of Islam is like a disease, it brainwashes all those who follow it. The Koran is a very shady book. Yes basbusa, you are correct, Muslims do believe in th…
  • It wasn't exactly a "blood drive", but that was the exact point I was trying to make...
  • Sure, from what I understand with my limited knowledge of the formal Arabic language, our friend basbusa, who is new to the site and is from Italy, is writing about an inquiry he has over the issues that took place a looong time ago between the cath…
  • I think that we can all agree God is omnipotent. He has the ability to deliver his word to us without any difficulty. For those who tell me that the bible was written by a man. I tell them that it was written by a man, through God’s intercession. Wh…
