"In Iran, crimes such as apostasy (leaving a religion, in this case Islam) and armed robbery are already punishable by death, but a new bill in Iran aims to add to the list ‘establishing weblogs and sites promoting corruption, prostitution and apostasy,’ effectively giving the government a free hand in silencing bloggers."
I have always had an opposition to any form of internet censorship or limitation for freedom of speech online…. but this is beyond anything I have ever even imagined….
For god’s sake….. DEATH??…. what government gives the right to itself to execute anyone for writing about any topic in their blogs?
What if we take 1000 men and women of various intellectual backgrounds (scientists, doctors, engineers, teachers, priests, etc), and put them a new planet with only the clothes they’re wearing, how would they live?
Imagine that these people will find themselves in a place that has nothing of the modern world. Only them with trees, animals, and water. Would they be able to recreate the modern life? how long it would take them? They would lack the very basic things needed for modern life (no energy source, materials, tools, factories, etc etc)
Would they have to reinvent everything? Or would the scientist know the inventions, but they just wouldn’t be able to implement them?
Alright… I’m officially sick of it…. I can’t stand it anymore.. it’s in my eyes, in my mouth, in my lungs, inside my ear, on my desk, on my car, it’s everywhere! SAND!! Sand is everywhere… what happened to our country? Wassup with all this sand in the air? We’ve had sandstorms before, but nothing ever like this.
Hasn’t anyone else noticed that year after year the sandstorms are growing in both duration AND intensity? Does anyone remember any year when we had continuous sandstorms for 6 months? Does anyone remember having this many THICK sandstorms in one year? I wonder what damage to our health this sand is inflecting. Don’t count on big brother to tell us anything true; they have history of public deception when it comes to environment and public health. But all this sand we’re breathing, must be doing something bad to us.
So if these damn sandstorms continue to increase in duration and intensity and with it increase our health damage, how long it would take before we can declare Kuwait as…. uninhabitable?
Three weeks ago, I decided to to see for myself why all this hype about this PC Game: World of Warcraft. What’s so special? Why are people around the world so excited about it?
Big Mistake!!
For the past 3 weeks, I have been doing nothing but playing this game. It’s like drugs… Now I don’t know how to snap out of it. I don’t think I have ever played a video game that managed to grab my interest as much as this one does.
Jin (ghosts?) exist. Quran and the Prophet told us they exist and so we’re obliged to believe in the Jin. Quran told us that Jin is the 2nd intellegent being on this earth with humans. The brings intriguing questions in my mind:
What’s stopping the Jin from showing themselves to us? Why can’t our world cross with their world? We’re told that Jin are everywhere… we’re told that some even live in the very same houses we live in. So why can’t they just get visible and introduce themselves to the human kind.
Maybe the Jin can’t be visible to human eyes. Maybe the Jin are forbidden by God to show themselves to humans. Maybe they have their own strict laws about appearing to humans. But if saw, why?
Should I care if you don’t follow my religion?
11 Comments Published April 23rd, 2008 in Dimensions.Why do we care so much what others believes are?
Why do we hate someone for nothing other than not sharing the same religion / mathhab as we do?
Why does someone else religion matter so much to us?
Questions that came across my mind lately. I thought about this purely from a logical point of view.
Why does one practice a religion? to go to heaven.
So does practicing any religion or math’hab have any outcome in the present life? No, religions rewards or punishments come only in the after life.
So if another person is following a different math’hab or religion than I do, would that have any impact on my current life at all? No because religions outcomes only come in the after life, not this life.
Okay then would this person’s belief impact me in the after life? No because god said every one for himself.
So…. if another person’s religion cannot impact my present life or my after life, then why the hell should I care about it? I shouldn’t……
It is well known and proven by historians that Adam, the father of humans, lived 12,000 years ago. However, today we found remains of what is known as the ancient man which lived more than 3 millions years ago!! This ancient man left drawings on his caves and left tools which he built which means he had some intelligence.
If Adam was the first human, then who was the ancient man that lived before Adam?!?!
Since this is starting to generate the much expected "are you kafir?" comments, allow me to elaborate my theory on this.
I have no doubt in my mind that Adam was the first human, the first of this human age!! I believe that there was multiple ages of humans that passed on this earth and each had their own judgment days. For example, the discovered human remains that goes back 3 million years are actually for a whole human race that lived that time and reached their judgment day. Then came another group, and those in turn had their judgment day and finished, and so on until now when we and our Adam came.
Soon we will have our judgment day and be all out of this earth, then there will be another set of humans to populate the earth where they will wait their judgment day. Life goes on.
The Quran never dismissed this theory nor has ever confirmed. it. Makes a wonderful philosophical debate

I have three questions to the idiots who put their phone numbers on their cars hoping that girls would call them:
1) Are you really that desperate?
2) Do you really want to talk to a girl who is even more desperate (and pathetic) than you are that she dialed a number from the back of a car?
3) Why do you put "For Sale" before the number? Do you really believe that someone still don’t know your actual intentions?
