Somali insurgents vow more attacks during Ramadan

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Mortar shells slammed into Somalia's capital on Wednesday as insurgents vowed to intensify attacks during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Somalia already sees near-daily explosions of bloodshed, and thousands of Somalis — most of them civilians — have been killed since Islamic fighters began an Iraq-style insurgency in December 2006, after they were driven from power in Mogadishu and much of the south.

Wednesday's violence was the worst since Aug. 21, when four hours of fighting outside the presidential palace killed 12 people and injured 17 others.

"If we die while fasting for the sake of Allah, we will go to heaven," a 26-year-old Islamic fighter, Abdi Yusuf, told The Associated Press by telephone. "So there is no reason why we shouldn't intensify the fighting."

He said the Ramadan attacks do not violate the Quran because his fighters are battling "enemies of Allah."

"New Bible" Sparks US Debate

CAIRO — A major US Christian publisher is readying to publish the first-ever chronologically-ordered Bible, sparking a hot debate among Christian clergy, the Washington Post reported Saturday, August 23.

The new edition will have the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John merged into one, based on Mark's chronology.

Some of St. Paul's letters, which traditionally appear later in the New Testament, are woven into the Book of Acts.

The new Bible is sparking a hot debate among Christian clergy in the US.

"This Bible should have a warning from the theologian general or something: 'This Bible may be harmful to your spiritual health.'," said Pat Graham, a professor at Emory University.

One of the peculiar features of the recent rise in Islamophobia is the manner in which so many opponents of the Muslim faith try to pass themselves off as experts on the Qur'an. In the wake of the Channel 4 Dispatches programme, It shouldn't happen to a Muslim, which I commissioned for Channel 4, numerous critics on Comment is free and on the channel4.com viewers' forum tried to convince me that the Qur'an preaches violence, terror and holy war. In my experience, such critics tend not to have actually read the Qur'an in its entirety, let alone in its original Arabic script, and prefer to rely on a rather disingenuous combination of mistranslation and misquotation.

A few years ago, the prominent Canadian-Muslim scholar, Dr Jamal Badawi, offered a prize of $1 million to anyone who could find any verses in the Qur'an which referred to "holy war". The prize remains unclaimed, as the Arabic translation of "holy war" - "harb muqaddasah" - appears nowhere in the Quran.

Exposing Evangelism

The unbelievers spend their wealth to hinder (men) from the path of Allah and so will they continue to spend; but in the end they will have (only) regrets and sighs; at length they will be overcome: and the Unbelievers will be gathered together to Hell.― Holy Quran 8:36

Pray at the Pump Movement prays for lower gas prices

clipper's remarks: If the price of gas goes down does that mean that God has intervened and answered the prayers? Somehow I don't think so.

Rocky Twyman

prays that God will deliver us from a particular evil — gas prices hovering around the $4 mark.

He stood on the lot of a Mobil gas station at Jefferson Avenue and Delmar Boulevard Friday morning, clasping hands with seven other "prayer warriors." They pleaded with God to shower compassion on oil-rich Arab nations. And he is asking those in Saudi Arabia to follow the precepts of the Quran, which, he said, emphasizes reaching out to the poor and the downtrodden.

The Pray at the Pump Movement, as Twyman calls it, began in April when seniors who volunteer at his church's soup kitchen in Washington said they could no longer afford the gas prices to come in and offer their time. Twyman led a group from the kitchen across the street to a Shell station and the first Pray at the Pump was held.

Twyman claims such prayers have been successful in other cities, with prices dropping by as much as 30 cents in Toledo.

But at how many stations and for how long, Twyman isn't sure.

Sometimes, I get a notion to post on the Internet, something so outrageous, that only a person living on some mountaintop without any info at hand and with an IQ of minus 10, could believe. Just to see how breakneck fast it would go from computer to computer. Then I’ll sit back and listen to the, collective shouts of the 'Uninformed" yelling, "I TOLD YOU SO, I KNEW OBAMA WAS A DIRTY WHATCHAMACALLIT!" We sure are a nation of nincompoops (Well, too many, anyhow.). It's scary, that countless "informationally challenged" will vote for a USA president, based on rumors and negative hearsay of the opposition. What's so stressful, is that not only they, will live with the consequences but the rest of us who have half a brain will also have to live with their boneheaded mindsets. Just for fun, let's have another 8 years of Dubya to see what how low we could go.

Was Obama born to Muslim Martians with plans to seize Temecula?

This week's provocative New Yorker magazine cover featuring Barack and Michelle Obama as armed and Muslim calls attention to a variety of myths floating around the country these days, mainly online, but also openly voiced.

To check on what you hear, the website snopes.com is valuable. It tracks and debunks urban legends of the e-mail variety. It could be the first place you go when that unexpected message pings into your in-box from another e-mail chain.

According to the site, here are the top myths about Barack Obama:

* He is a "radical Muslim" who will not recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

* He was sworn into office on the Quran.

* Obama's church has a "non-negotiable commitment to Africa" that is covertly Muslim and excludes non-blacks.

* Obama has been endorsed for president of the U.S. by the Ku Klux Klan.

* Obama's presidential campaign is being funded by Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chávez.

Residents Upset Over Group's Distribution of Qurans

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:20:07 GMT

clipper's remarks: I see nothing wrong with the Quran distribution here, it's not being forced on anyone or given away in schools or such. This just a lot of unnecessary whining. Take it, read it, throw it away, whatever.

“If we went into a Muslim country and left a bible, we would be in prison and then decapitated a few years later,”

But we are not in a Muslim country!

HOUSTON -- The distribution of Qurans in a southwest Houston neighborhood has some residents worried about the motives of the group who dispersed the Islamic book.

An English translation of the Quran began appearing two weeks ago on the doorsteps of hundred of homes in the BraesTimbers neighborhood. The books came in plastic bags with a note attached from the ‘Book of Signs Foundation’ asking recipients to accept the Quran as a gift from the Muslim community.

But some residents, like Greg and Sue Ann Pieri, said they feared the group is imposing its beliefs on non-Muslims and found the gesture offensive.

“If we went into a Muslim country and left a bible, we would be in prison and then decapitated a few years later,” said Sue Ann Pieri, who chose not to destroy the book like other neighbors did.

The Book of Signs Foundation claims to have distributed 30,000 Qurans in Houston, targeting neighborhoods believed to be most receptive of the Quran

Christians & Muslims beleive god wants you to marry only virgins...

clipper's remarks: Or you have to at least believe he USED to require it... cuz there are many passages in the old testament that indicate you should stone your wife if you find out she's not a virgin on her wedding night...

I guess god changes his morality based on the age however - since we're not supposed to do this anymore right?

Clip Source: dwindlinginunbelief.blogspot.com

The annulment of a young Muslim couple’s marriage because the bride was not a virgin has caused anger in France, prompting President Sarkozy’s party to call for a change in the law.

The case, which had previously gone unreported, involved an engineer in his 30s, named as Mr X, who married Ms Y, a student nurse in her 20s, in 2006. The wedding night party was still under way at the family’s home in Roubaix when the groom came down from the bedroom complaining that his bride was not a virgin. He could not display the blood-stained sheet that is traditionally exhibited as proof of the bride’s “purity”.

Is there something about bloody sheets in the Quran? No, for shit like that you have to go to the Bible.

Pakistani sentenced to die for blasphemy

A Pakistani judge sentenced a Muslim man to death Wednesday on charges he insulted Islam's Prophet Muhammad, a court official said.

Falk Sher, a court administrator, said Judge Shoaib Ahmad Roomi also sentenced the man, Shafeeq Latif, to life in prison and fined him $75,000 on a separate charge of desecrating pages of Islam's holy book, the Quran, in 2006.

Latif was accused of making derogatory remarks about Muhammad.

The trial was held in the eastern city of Sialkot after police arrested him in a nearby village.

Latif's lawyer was not immediately available for comment, but Sher said the defendant had the right to appeal.

Under Pakistan's blasphemy laws, anyone who insults Muhammad can be punished by death. Scores of people, including Muslims and minority Christians, are facing trial under the laws, which human rights groups have demanded be abolished.

New York-based Human Rights Watch urged the government on Tuesday to abolish the death penalty

Islamic Conference for Dialogue Concluded

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 20:26:43 GMT

clipped by: Yassin_M
clipper's remarks: The statement emphasized that dialogue is one of the most important outlets through which Muslims can perceive the world, and achieve a set of goals, the most important of which is to introduce Islam, its legislations and humanitarian principles, in addition to its rich civilization. Dialogue also enables Islam to contribute to the march of human civilization and to respond to and correct the erroneous slanders raised against Islam, and to address the challenges facing the world owing to distancing themselves from religion and its values. Accordingly the world of today fell in the grip of vice and injustice, terrorism and Human rights violation. Dialogue also provides an opportunity for Muslims to defend causes of human rights and legitimate issues, and create a public opinion in its defense. Enemies of Islam are planning to disqualify Muslims from this legitimate area of struggle to pave the way for the dominance of one culture.

The Conference stressed that Islam has viable solutions to those crises, and that the Muslim nation, with the rich civilization it draws on, ought to contribute with others to facing these challenges . The other divine religions and philosophies share with Islam the basics of human ethics and values which they should together protect against injustice, aggression and disintegration of families.
The statement said that the comprehensive dialogue on the investment in shared and mutual humanitarian interests is necessary for cooperation in joint action programs that besiege contemporary problems, and shield humanity against their malevolent effects.

The statement also pointed out that dialogue is a genuine approach in Quran and the practice of prophets when communicating with their peoples. It signaled Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah society as an ideal example of the society of co-existence of different cultures under the leadership of the Prophet.

Marine removed from duty over Bible coin

A U.S. Marine in Iraq has been removed from duty amid complaints that he was handing out coins with Bible verses at an American checkpoint, the military said Thursday.

U.S. military regulations prohibit religious proselytizing.

At least one of the coins is stamped with the words "Where will you spend eternity?" according to a report published Thursday by McClatchy Newspapers.

The other side of the coin reportedly contains a verse from John 3:16 that reads, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

Several Falluja residents said they were given the coins over a two-day period and complained that U.S. troops, whom they consider foreign occupiers, were acting as Christian missionaries.

The reports stoked religious concerns in Iraq just weeks after Iraqi police discovered that a U.S. soldier had used the Quran, Islam's holy book, for target practice.
