Do you know why Pakistani Muslims don't condemn terrorists attacks on the streets..?
First of all, of course a lot of them do and being a Pakistani myself I denounce any sort of terrorism because it is not condoned by Islam. But why is there is no outrage like there is when someone draws cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh)...why no anger over these extremists hijacking Islam???
The answer to my shock when I did a survey(small scale including my relatives, friends and teachers) in Pakistan was that almost 90% of them don't believe Muslims are doing this..They believe it is either the CIA or Indian RAW behind it. When I point out this has been done by a Muslim they simply reply a Muslim can never do this..this is America and India behind it..and ya occasionally the Zionist conspiracy is also brought up.
So next time please don't simply assume that the silent majority condones terrorism. In fact, they don't..They abhor it as much as us because if you really count, after 9/11... Muslims are the ones being killed and targeted by these violent extremists.

6 AnswersCurrent Events10 years agoIs premarital sex allowed in Christianity?
I come from a society where most of us only lose our virginity once we get married. Considering the fact that most Americans(80% men and 75% women) lose their virginity at a very young age, say 19;
http://www.asylum.com/2010/04/14/book-of-odds-cdc-...
I would like to know whether premarital sex is actually allowed in Christianity.
If it's not, is there any prescribed punishment for it considering it would be a sin and does this affects his/her afterlife. And what does that person need to do for forgiveness?
Please do back your answers with links or quotes from the Bible. Would really appreciate it.
11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy is remembering birthdays so important for a relationship?
I just saw one girl change her facebook status from "in a relationship" to "single" just because her boyfriend hasn't wisher her yet. I mean it's the middle of the night where I am. It must have slipped out of the poor fella's mind at the last moment and probably slept away. He might as well wish her in the morning. BUT NO! It was so important to her she just couldn't wait any longer. Witnessing this, I asked my girl "What if I forget to wish you on your birthday?"....The reply, "Well then you can forget me too!"..........I was really shocked!.........but I am sure she will forgive me in case I am stupid enough to forget...
11 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoWhat's the difference between atheists and "non-religious"?
Is "MILITANCY" the defining feature?
Don't atheists fall into the "non-religious" category as categorized by this site:
http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.ht...
I was browsing through the pages of "Encyclopedia Britannica 2009 - Book of the Year" for the "number of adherents" and found atheists and non-religious being categorized differently. Below are some excerpts:
Nonreligious. Persons professing no religion, nonbelievers, agnostics, freethinkers, uninterested, or dereligionized secularists indifferent to all religion but not MILITANTLY so.
Atheists. Persons professing atheism, skepticism, disbelief, or irreligion, including the MILITANTLY antireligious (opposed to all religion). In recent years a flurry of books
have outlined the Western philosophical and scientific basis for atheism.

44 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow many contradictions did you find in the Bible?
Here are a few from the 101 contradictions I stumbled upon:

* Seven (2 Samuel 24:13)
* Three (I Chronicles 21:12)
How old was Ahaziah when he began to rule over Jerusalem?
* Twenty-two (2 Kings 8:26)
* Forty-two (2 Chronicles 22:2)
How old was Jehoiachin when he became king of Jerusalem?

* Eight (2 Chronicles 36:9)
How long did he rule over Jerusalem?
* Three months (2 Kings 24:8)

The chief of the mighty men of David lifted up his spear and killed how many men at one time?
* Eight hundred (2 Samuel 23:8)
* Three hundred (I Chronicles 11: 11)
BUT, I heard Christians say there aren't any contradictions in the Bible. So, is the devil making me see stuff here or what?

6 AnswersCats1 decade agoIslam has surpassed Roman Catholicism as the world's largest religion! What your take on this?
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The number of Muslims has overtaken the number of Roman Catholics in the world, a Vatican official said on Sunday.
Monsignor Vittorio Formenti, who compiled the Vatican's newly-released 2008 yearbook, said Muslims made up 19.2 percent of the world's population and Catholics 17.4 percent.
"For the first time in history we are no longer at the top: the Muslims have overtaken us," Formenti told Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano in an interview, saying the data referred to 2006.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080331/lf_nm_life/vat...
##It has to be noted that according to the CIA World Factbook, there are 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide. Now, if you were to separate out Sunni's which form 90% of Muslims, you would get almost the same numbers of Catholics and Sunnis.

Being a Muslim myself, I would like to answer the last caller on that Alan Colmes show.
#Muslims have set up websites explaining the proper context and full explanation of the so-called "Violent Verses" which many tend to relate to terrorism:
http://www.islamic-shield.com/2008/01/violent-vers...
As we all know it's easy to misquote any verse from any scripture and then make it look violent and evil. I am sure Christians would tend to agree with me because if we do what the bigots and Islam haters do to the Qur'an to the Bible; this is what we get:
Numbers 31:17-18 "Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."
