[b]Pres. Musharraf is a well known ally of the west but do u think he does that with the backing of his people. ofcourse no. he infact decide to tow the line in order to douse the move for democracy in Pakistan. But david, have you for once visualise the life of an average Arab living in the middle east?. Can you envy anyone living in gaza, west bank or even in Iraq, pakistan or Afghanistan? They grew up watching hopelessly how the west, especially the US, dabble in their affairs with glaring lopsideness. The US has no business in Iraq or Afghanistan in the first place. The Israel issue should be settled once and for all. We have heard all the excuses by the terrorist and in all cases, they are linked to one or both of the above reasons.

The bottom line here also is that Terrorism is not an Islamic concept rather its an Arab dilenma. And if we carefully understood their motivation we might be on the way to eliminating it. I still want to believe that these Arabs are not getting a fair deal from the west and the sooner we correct the anomaly the better for everyone.[/b]

i love your candour Mr Osisi, let me shed some lights as regards to your over stressed questions. i only hope you can understand the islamic perceptions not neccessarily to agree with them

1. Terrorism is not Islamic and Suicide bombing is strongly condemned in Islam. Middle - East crisis has a lot of political and liberation undertones

2. Cutting a wrist is a recommended punishment in Islam for Theft to serve as a detterent. It wasnt always carried out but Islamic punishments are basically profferred as preventive measures and not corrective

3. Dress Codes in Islam is particular about colour black and women codes are probably the same as in the gospels. its only particular about 3 points. 1. Not transparent 2. Not revealing (specific body parts) and 3. Not tight

4. There is no honour Killing in Islam. Rasoul SAW even condemned the acts in his life time

5. Its easier to proved the case against a woman for obvious reasons but if evidence are strong against any man he too would get the conviction

6. Islam strongly condemn any act of killing an innocent soul but shirk by a born and practicing muslim is liable for a death penalty where there is a strong reason for that. We can also see death penalty for drug offences in some civilised world

7. Those uprising are mostly politically motivated and not religiously sanctioned

8. Islam strongly upheld freedom of religion and thats why the over 40 churches in zamfara state capital are heavily protected by the state. you can ask anyone living there

9. The word Islam was carefully chosen by the Lord Himself for a time like this. For Islam is an arabic word that means peace.

10. Muslim Women are the most priviledge women on earth. They are heavily protected by islamic injunctions. i can explain more some other time or you can ask any muslim woman you know.

Ma assalam Osisi. This is what we want our christians friends to understand about our faith. we are not blindly following without convictions. We Believe Islam is the greatest religion and we pray to God daily to take our lives as muslims not as deviants.

mr4malik am only asking why respond to mukina with my name? thats all am asking

Then ofcourse we ve learned how to live with people like you. i am stating points and i dont care how you interprete them but you seem to be reserving the monopoly of qualifying people into what category they belong. The Rasoul SAW said "Dont be angry". thats my only consolation.
