POPSResidents Upset Over Group's Distribution of Qurans 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!

POPS"My Guantanamo Diary" All About Naive
And this is how Mahvish Rukhsana Kahn,assesses every one of her clients. She accepts without question detainee stories of widespread torture, brutal interrogation, commonplace Quran desecration and illegal confinement. But she never bothers to reference al Qaeda's "Manchester Manual," that instructs its members to allege torture and abuse as part of their defense against Western legal systems. Besides her sympathies for the "innocent" Afghans, Kahn grew openly contemptuous of the American military men and women serving there. She describes mocking a posted "Soldier's Creed" to a guard and how she had to learn "the military's sneaky speak" - her description of terms commonly used in the detention process. She refers to one female guard repeatedly as "Rodent Face," and repeats one detainee's story about how he found the guards "androgynous" and that "we can find no sign of manhood in this army." If she was bothered by these attitudes, she doesn't mention it.

POPSChristians & Muslims beleive god wants you to marry only virgins... 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?

POPSIslamic Conference for Dialogue Concluded 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.

POPSQuotes from McCain's Wacko spiritual advisers Please tell me this isn't reality. Because if it is, we are all living in a very warped parallel universe of insanity. I have only one thought for anyone who listens to the nonsense put out by some clergy people and that is: JUST BECAUSE THEY WEAR A ROBE OR JUST BECAUSE THESE HUMANS (and I use that term lightly) ACT LIKE THEY ARE A GOOD FRIEND TO GOD, DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE NOT CRAZY! (If anyone uttered the sounds these wacks, mouth off and didn't have pastor, reverend minister, parson or preacher in front of their names... They would be laughed at and then carried off to a padded cell!) http://www.thethinkingblue.com/MCCAINADVISERS.html

POPSTop 10 Outrageous Quotes From McCain's Spiritual Advisers 7. "Only a Spirit-filled woman can submit to her husband's lead. It is the natural desire of a woman to lead through feminine manipulation of the man...Fallen women will try to dominate the marriage. The man has the God-given role to be the loving leader of the home." - Pastor John Hagee in his book What Every Man Wants in a Woman (Charisma House, 2005)

POPSThe Religion of the New World Order "...it has now become obvious that the desired world political unity will never be achieved without bringing an end to religious conflict. This is why New Age global planners have quietly given birth to the United Religions Organization. They believe that the future of our world depends on all of us becoming tolerant and respectful of each other's beliefs." "Interfaith Christian? There is no such thing. Add this term to your list of oxymorons."

POPSIlluminating Beauty, Illustrating Harmony Interactive Show at the source. Illuminating Beauty, Illustrating Harmony: A Gallery celebrating the 25th Anniversary of The Institute of Ismaili Studies ...invites the viewer to the large and complex subject of the artistic and intellectual heritage of Islam. Ranging in date from the ninth to the nineteenth century, and produced in lands as far westward as Tunisia and as far eastward as China and India, the artefacts reflect the great diversity and range of a distinctive visual culture with its own unique artistic language. ‘Illuminating’ and ‘illustrating’ are appropriate from with the perspectives of calligraphy and the arts of the book, and are also linked to notions of knowledge and learning in Islam. A significant number of items in this exhibition are, therefore, related to the arts of the book, in particular the Qur’an.

POPSNice to see Somebody has Some Sense in the Bin Laden Family It is nice to see that somebody in the Bin Laden family knows that peace and not war is the way to defend Islam. Besides the Quran is the 'Book of Peace'. I will keep him in my prayers and pray that his efforts prove fruitful. At least, he doesn't take after his dad who prefers to kill then use peaceful methods. Omar should be praised for his efforts.

POPSAnnihilation of Infidels is the Goal of Radical Islamists Vijay Ayyagari is an awesome commentator. He is precise, unequivocal, and factual. He has made it clear that he is apolitical in his concern about the issue he has accurately assessed in his article. I am for what Mr. Ayyagari has pointed out here: this is an issue of survival. It is not an American party political issue to be tossed around in the noisy, provincial market of American feverish electioneering. To criticize his article from the point of view of the GOP/Dem party political brouhaha is to diminish Mr. Ayyagari's intent and value of his words. Unless we realize what we are about to lose my only advice is go and buy a Qur'an and a prayer-mat, join a fitnes-club to exercise your knee-caps for eventual multi-genuflections a day (I think at least four times a day) to Allah when Jihadism takes over.
