Gaza strip girl she's been living in a disputed territory war. I bet she never met a nice Israeli boy.

That and to support Britney Spears efforts in whatever it is she does.

And, in the Quran 6:162-163, Abraham calls himself a Muslim.

That brings up an interesting point. When is it socially acceptable to hug strangers ?


My rule of thumb is if you had at least three beers you can hug anyone.

A 72-hour Gaza truce held through its second day on Wednesday and Israel said it was ready to extend the deal as Egyptian mediators pursued talks with Israelis and Palestinians on an enduring end to a war that devastated the Hamas-ruled enclave.

Egypt's intelligence chief met a Palestinian delegation in Cairo, the state news agency MENA said, a day after he conferred with Israeli representatives. The Palestinian team, led by an official from Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party, includes envoys from Hamas and the Islamic Jihad group.

"The indirect talks between the Palestinians and Israelis are moving forward," one Egyptian official said, making clear that the opposing sides were not meeting face to face. "It is still too early to talk about outcomes but we are optimistic."

Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri told reporters his country was working hard for a deal and sought "solutions to protect the Palestinian people and their interests".

How many say it does? What makes their interpretation more feasible than others'? Are they learned about the Arabic language, historical context, etc etc.
People can and will disagree on about everything. What validates one's claims over another is what should be of concern to us. That's why I asked Ramyrez to read about a certain topic from both pro and anti-Muslim websites, then judge himself.

The dialect of the Quran is basically what formal Arabic today is (it's actually a reference). It is used in official settings etc, but people communicate using local (informal/slang) dialects.


I thought Occam's razor supported the concept of one, eternal God (since it ends the perpetual "who created the creator?" inevitable series of questions).

@Eslim: Islamic theology says that all of God's messengers preached the message of Islam—submission to the will of God.
Each came to preach Islam at different times in history and some told of the coming of the final prophet and messenger of God, who would be named "Ahmed" commonly known as Muhammad. Each prophet directed a message to a different group of people, and thus would preach Islam in accordance with the times.

And, in the Quran 6:162-163, Abraham calls himself a Muslim.

But the assumption that everything needs a creator is still there. There is no reason to believe the Universe hasn't always existed, the only thing that has ever supported a Creator is wishful thinking.

Personally I've always thought the idea of a creator is the most disgusting self-centered thought of human nature. That we have some pre-concieved privilege in the Universe is nothing but the most obnoxious manifestation of human ego.

Here's a weird thought. Rather than argue religion in general, let's try something more metaphysical for kicks and giggles. We all see things from a first-person point of view. How does that even happen? What is the criteria that places you in command of the brain you control as opposed to the brain of another being? And what is the criteria for sentience to begin with? Does your computer get a first-person point of view? How about single-cell organisms?

We did it guys!

Cease fire for 2 days now!

I'm a fan of Descartes "I think, therefore I am".

The only reason I even brought that up was simply to demonstrate that even with the most basic, rational belief of "what you see is what you get", the amount of work that it takes to justify your own existence is insane. Calling each other crazy for believing or not believing that there is something beyond this life is laughable, because both theories are beyond our comprehension to fully understand with our feeble human minds.

I totally agree with you, but in all honesty im sort of in the belief that it doesnt really matter "where you go when you die" because thats after youre put in a box and left to bubble up into a noxious pool of chemicals. If theres an afterlife it surely wouldnt or shouldnt matter if we can prove or disprove its existence cause the only way to get there would be to die anyway....or figure out the processes behind transcending that boundary and if death would be the only way to do it. Its sort of an irrelevant question which when answered, would lead to a bunch of other irrelevant questions we'd have to get answered from a being that may or may not exist :<

Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said Israeli actions in Gaza ‘surpassed what Hitler did to them.’ Now he’s digging in deeper in a letter sent on his behalf to his biggest boosters in Congress.

Turkey’s prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has some advice for his strongest supporters in the U.S. Congress: If you don’t like the rise of anti-Semitism that has accompanied Israel’s latest war, then you should pressure Israel to stop killing Palestinians.

An August 5 letter written by one of Erdogan’s top advisers on behalf of the prime minister and obtained by The Daily Beast disputes accusations that his recent statements about Israel were anti-Semitic. Those statements include an assertion on July 19 that Israel’s actions in Gaza “surpassed what Hitler did to them.” A few days earlier, a top newspaper in Turkey affiliated with Erdogan called on Turkish Jews to apologize for the actions of Israel’s military in Gaza.

“Each Israeli attack undermines the peace and tranquility of Jews living all around the world and turns them into targets of hate speech,” wrote Volkan Bozkir, a former Turkish ambassador to the European Union and now an Erdogan adviser and legislator who serves as the chairman of the Turkey-USA Inter-Parliamentary Friendship Caucus and the Turkish parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee.

He added: “We would therefore recommend that you, instead of trying to silence the legitimate criticisms towards Israel, call on and pressure the Israeli government to put an end to its policies of occupation and destruction. This would be the best and the strongest response to anti-Semitism.”

I've actually spoken to single-celled organisms and yes, they do view the world from a first person point of view. Unfortunately you lack the mental capacity to communicate with them because I'm superior to you, so you'll have to take my word for it.
