    And Is this yo who is just voting me down to 1.0 on each post of mine in current thread.Right now yo re active on this forum=)

    I don't use the voting system. Sorry. By the way, are honour killings alot of work? I mean, do they require lots of advance planning? Can I find out about this in the Qu'ran? Where do I look? On a side note, do you get many virgin vouchers for participation in these events? I'm just trying to learn all aspects of your culture so I can be less of an infidel.

      No religion is failed, each (wo)man has the right to believe what (s)he wants. It are the people themselves that failed...

        Oh, but Pakistan has perfected them! Many cases of honor killings have been reported in Pakistan [...] Critics argue that the practice is over-whelmingly associated with certain Muslim cultures and the peoples influenced by those cultures. See[^]!

An unbeliever with respect to a particular religion, especially Christianity or Islam. # One who has no religious beliefs. # One who doubts or rejects a particular doctrine, system, or principle. In this way i am an infidel of christianity and judaism or anyother religion except Islam. Calm down boy and concenrate on your studies.

            *You* as an invidual doesnt matter here,neither being discussed.We are talking about general trend.In this way i can also claim that I am a Pakistani first than a muslim but I will be stupid enough to present myself as an example.

            Agreed: but every Jew I know (and I know a LOT) feels the same way inasmuch as levels of loyalty go. There are, as I said before, only one or two circumstances in which I would put Judaism above the country I and family were born and raised in and which provides very well for me and of which I am proud to be a part of. I am not looking to tear it apart from the inside out to conform to my world view.

                Do you want to say that *ISRAEL* is less important for a jew Zion than a country where he resides?I am afraid you are wrong here.Every religion follower is tightly associated with his religion otherwise that religion is less worthy than other. There is compeition between followers of same religion.For instance there are muslims in Indian and England cricket team and recent defeat of Pakistan in cricket was due to a muslim and he was even a Pakistani whose family settled in UK long time back. So two things are entirely different.no follower would just ignore religion on any instance.

                  Here's the thing, and I'll only say this once so understand it the first time: I see you as a human being, just like me, whether or not you believe in Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity or whatever else. I couldn't care less. In fact, despite all the sarcastic and meaningless back and forth on this message board, I think of you as an equal human being. I respect your views (despite the contents of my posts), I accept that you believe in your religion and I don't wish you harm, ill-will or anything else. I don't think less of you, I don't think more of you and I don't need to fucking label you with some inane and ridiculous term that is indicative of your beliefs. That's called tolerance and respect and I don't need religious views to live my life in that way. I'm even willing take back my jibes at your culture and religion and to tell you not to take them seriously if you stop trolling these message boards and proclaiming other people, cultures and religions as inferior to yours. That just makes you arrogant and annoying and that is why you receive the reactions that you do on here. This[^] illustrates my point regarding your feelings of superiority.

                    Yup: I'm not a zionist and, apart from a really boring 2 weeks in Eilat have never been there nor had any desire to go there. I have an affinity to Israel but it's NOT my country: the UK is. I know that if there were trouble enough that I had to leave and there was nowhere else to go Israel would take me in and do it's utmost to protect me. You're also making the childish error of assuming that religion is the be-all-and-end-all. It is not. It's just the explanation of life you like best. To me it's mostly archaic nonsense dressed up as specious fantasy: stories to frighten children but that adults find tedious. (So flame me).

                      now you started making some sense but i find you an hypocrite since in few very latest post you once again came out of your underwear(if you wear any). Whatever the _good_Words_ you used to praise yourself.I dont see you actually act upon it thus in my sight yo are a liar and a hypocrite but I know you dont give a damn what I think about so whatever i say goes in vein.

                      Nope you were just shown the mirror and you started crying?You were constantly offending my religion which is more important for me than anything else even my parents?Wht you felt was not different I felt after reciving your lunatic response.I tried to be nice withyou for several time but respect didnt suit you and therefore I used the similar tone which you were using for me so no need to start frowning. there are many here who disagree with me,I would take name of Josh of Australia who dont have good terms with me and do talk crap about meand my religion but I never found him as a troll,atleast not with me.Therefore I have a bit respect for him even I know one day he might talk crap again Same goes with CG.He has blind belief in his religion like me on Islam and Judah Hamingo on Judaism but despite of infinite differences i love to talk them and NONE of them misbehaved with me personally though I got rude with these two therefore i like these guys a bit now. you belong to whatever cult,i dont give a damn but your character showed your belonging.Enough for me not to respect you.For me CG and JH would be more respectable than Farhan Noor or A.A if both muslims offend me and my family. Hope you would learn something from now on.

                        I dont have to study anything, it's for everyone to see. Whatever Islam teaches, it has gone to the dogs.

                            If Islam as it is believed that every word was spoken by Allah and latter written down by (illiterate) Mohammad, Then why there is so much of misunderstanding of His words? Is god not clear enough for the people to understand how they should behave and live? yeah yeah you may say that not all Muslims are terrorists but most of the terrorists are Muslims. Muslims are still on to this age old concept of crusades and killing innocent people that only barbaric people can do. No religion is perfect, In the past Christian were also involved in such acts, but now Christians are know for peace loving people. I have few Muslim friends in India, and most of us believe that we are Indian first and then comes our religion, but Muslim put their religion first and then nation. Muslim don’t belong to any nation and that is why they can never be in harmony with fellow citizens. The fact that most of the terrorists are Muslims just means that Muslims is a failed religion. -- modified at 3:46 Friday 11th August, 2006

                                WWI happened because when someone was assassinated, the generals in various countries leap at the excuse for war. WWII happened because Hitler took advantage of the German people being downtrodden by the excessive post war demands when they lost WWI. That's one reason why the US saw the Marshall Plan as a central platform for peace.

                                so did the civil leaders In my view, WW2 happened because of WW1. WW2 is just a continuation, a 'second half'.

                                I don't bite that. Rise of Nazism was favorized by the economic crisis in Germany, consequence of the economic crisis in the US and the consequent halt of US investments. People voted for Hitler to get a job, not to get Dantzig back. Also, would have Allies invaded Germany at the end of WW1 would have Germans felt the weight of the defeat and avoided the 'stab-in-the-back' legend.

                                  Putting nation before religion means that have the tolerance for other religion and cultures in the nation and Islam too preaches tolerance but I think they never understood that.

                                  Then you just contradicted yourself. You just said that the religion is not to blame, but those abusing it for their gain, which is what most everyone here is trying to explain to you. And that, is true in every religion or group of people that belong to a certain ideology.

                                      When push comes to shove 'tribes' stick together. This is true of all tribes, not just Islam. National identity is just one of the tribes to which you can belong and you may find that you are attached to many different tribes as you go through life and that your loyalties to each of these tribes is tested by your loyalty to another. Trbies include immediate family, extended family, work colleagues (may change the most), religious, sporting, city, state, etc, etc. Some of these will appear frivolous to others but are active because they mean something to the individual. Problems arise when you (by whatever influence) make choices between tribes each of which may have an order of precedence in your life. One of those might be choosing to place your work tribe above your family tribe (the reason here is not important) or your religious tribal affiliation above your nationalistic one. These are not easy choices to make but everyone makes them. I think the point that Mr Prakash is trying to make is that Islam *appears* to transcend all other tribal affiliations to the outside observer. This is partly, but not wholly, evidenced by the fervour with which, for instance, a large proportion of UK born muslims place being a muslim above being British. I make no claim here as to whether this is right or wrong: I'll leave that for another debate; rather that is just what it is: people make choices all the time about which tribes they belong to and the order of importance and precedence they attach to each and, therefore, this can dictate the actions that they take in support of each of those tribal affiliations.

                                      Cant argue with that. Problems arise when every one of the tribes that comrpise your life are made up exculsivly of muslims or christians or gays or aboriginals etc while others are activly excluded. This is when people seem to loose perspective and tend toward extreamism.

                                      Well that is very hard to judge from the outside. I suspect many muslims beleive that every single person in the west is a devout Christian or Jew intent on their destruction. Personally I am none of those.

                                      I have family in England but have not spent much time there so I cant really comment. Is this partly the result of Muslims clustering together and being able to largely ignore others hence creating the situation I described above?

                                        Ask this question from a Christian first who believes in Christianity which came into being after death of Moses(AS).Islam is way new religion than other branches of Abrahamic faith.

                                          Terrorism isn't limited to a particular religion To quote a few examples 1)The World war 2 started with anarchists killing a Duke 2)The Red Brigade Army in Italy 70's 3)Baader-Meinhof Gang in Germany in 70's 4)Red Army Faction in Japan 5)LTTE in Srilanka 6)Maoists in Nepal,India These are some of the examples I am not here to defend any particular Religion but these examples make me think that Terrorism exists in any country due to some insane fanatics..which in turns cripples the economy. -- modified at 3:44 Friday 11th August, 2006

                                          That was WWI not WWII. YOu can add to your list the IRA.

                                          Truth is the subjection of reality to an individuals perception
