    Has the religious civil war started in the Middle East?

    I would not mind living in Italy myself and I'm not even Italian. However, the people of Italian heritage (The one's I know) who came here as a result of WW2 do not seem to have any desire to return. I find that typically people who came here as war refugees, not just Italians but also Koreans...

    Has the religious civil war started in the Middle East?

    I agree most immigrants from the M.E. have no desire to return I grew up in Connecticut during WW2 and at the end of the war we had a huge number of immigrants from Poland, Italy and Germany. I believe I can safely say none of them ever wanted to return to their homelands and neither do their...

    Has the religious civil war started in the Middle East?

    Which may be an indication that religion is not the primary factor. I am a little familiar with the Detroit area. I had forgotten there is a sizable number of Shi'ite there.

    Has the religious civil war started in the Middle East?

    I believe we can both agree it is an issue over the control of resources--oil and/or the transportation of oil. We will probably spend the rest of our lives disagreeing over the part Shi'ite or Sunni makes. Here in the States I have seen no evidence of any Shi'ite/ Sunni animosity and I have...

    Has the religious civil war started in the Middle East?

    Being Muslim and having lived in the region at least briefly. I have never seen the religious significant in the conflicts and have always seen it as Arab vs Iranian. Virtually every Shi'a in the region is Iranian or an Iran supporter and nearly every Sunni is Arab. The Arabs are a Semitic...

    I agree. It is no more about religion than WW2 was about German Lutherans vs American Fundamentalism.

    The halal rort on Australians: paying an Islamic religious food tax without knowing

    True The bottom line is it all relies on the integrity of the producer and seller Since most meat producers that sell halal also sell non-halal, you have to have faith the producer is only putting the halal label on the halal products. The stamp of a halal certification agency is of no more...

    Question about 4:157

    We do know somebody was crucified and those present believed it was Jesus(as) but it was not Jesus(as). what we do not know is why did the people believe it was Jesus(as) and why did they not recognize it was not Jesus(as)'

    The halal rort on Australians: paying an Islamic religious food tax without knowing

    The halal stamp is not needed if the truth in advertising laws can be enforced. If a producer simply labels his product halal حلالا . It is halal unless a Muslim can prove it is not. while most if not all of the Halal certification agencies, that are popping up. have their stamp copyrighted...

    The halal rort on Australians: paying an Islamic religious food tax without knowing

    That is a very common misconception. I think it comes about because Halal meat, when raised properly, costs more to produce and therefore costs more in the stores. No different then the reason "orgamically" grown food cost more. It is not because there is a "Tax" added on and some mysterious...

    Do you as a Muslim believe in women's equality?

    You look at it as unequal treatment. I see it as a means of protecting women from free loaders that would try to live off the wealth of a rich woman. a man is permitted up to 4 wives not because it means satisfaction, but because it is a social obligation to provide for women that are unable to...

    Do you as a Muslim believe in women's equality?

    either would be a mistake, in my opinion. But I think a Marriage of an Atheist man marrying a Theist woman would have a better chance of lasting than one where an atheist woman married a Theist man. Simple reason there is no such thing as an equal marriage, one is always dominat. In most cases...
