W...hi anonymous - welcome to the Draughty Old Fen. What I should point out is that if you are a Muslim, then you will believe that Jesus did not die - because in Islam the gift of prophecy is rewarded by success whereas the Judaeo-Christian tradition reveals the opposite - but rather laughed while the Romans crucified his lookalike. This was not an Islamic novelty but owes its genesis to Mani, the third- century Christian heretic.Frugal Dougalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07459572116047155640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926775615646909337.post-77992831148904188052009-12-31T18:46:20.032+00:002009-12-31T18:46:20.032+00:00well, i do know one thng being around my husband w...well, i do know one thng being around my husband which was'st long, showed me that his islamic beliefs were oh so real and true. they are over greatful for things other religion show no affection to, they wake up to prayer and focus on it for a long period of time and they honor their family and keep outsiders out( the devil sordaspeak ) and they make sure nothing distroys their family and the connect with allah... my husband made his religion known to me and keep all the questions i ask real, because he was able to show me in his green book i cant remeber the spelling of it, but he lives by it, and it opened my eyes.. that they speak the truth more than mopst and can go straight to it, so to say bad things about the religion and its followers. i can believe that totally, look what they did to jesus.... and he died for us ...Right... people shouldnt judge the color or cover they should take a look inside first.. and it just might be what they are missing... okAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926775615646909337.post-25297779986351786902009-09-26T17:43:27.650+01:002009-09-26T17:43:27.650+01:00You're right, Linda - the head of the BBC says...You're right, Linda - the head of the BBC says Islam has to be "protected" because it's a minority religion, but Muslims seem perfectly capable of taking care of itself. Now, over here, a nurse is being disciplined for wearing a cross, even though her hospital will allow Muslim women to wear veils. And Gordon Brown, having released the terrorist accused of bringing down the plane over Lockerbie, now wants to reduce our nuclear deterrant...AAARGH!

Isn't that the way it works?Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05290534151500649637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926775615646909337.post-64242860246044940252009-09-26T10:11:09.848+01:002009-09-26T10:11:09.848+01:00You're right - it's all about the competen...You're right - it's all about the competency of the lawyer over here as well. But by the time this comes to court (if it's allowed to), I'd say there'll be so many people following it thatit'll be effectively carried out in te public eye.<br /><br />I've never done jury duty myself - the one time I was called up, the case was cancelled at the last minute and we were told we'd discharged out duty.

I don't like to watch people lose a case when I think they were in the right.Pam H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01223991201236433802noreply@blogger.com
