Mintayo: I am fine too,it is like you decided to take a leave or something.

Mintayo: Mr deSika,how have you been? It's been a while!

Paris_Love: I think you should be the one to answer your question. Did quran/allah/muhamad say:
1) No prophet would come after Muhammad?
2) No NEW PROPHET would come after Muhammad? Or
3) No old prophet will come with a NEW MESSAGE?

Paris_Love: You obviously have nothing to offer. Accused me of being ignorant, I asked for clarification and you're still blabbing like a broken record. Anything reasonable you've got to say?

LagosShia: you want to scare others and forbid them to air their views. you are a no body and you cannot do that. it is my human and constitutional right to air my views. i will continue to air my views and post even if you come out of my computer screen with your mouth wide open to bite me-I will keep typing!

you cannot intimidate anyone by childish moves, not to post what I see as right.Islam and the Quran very much encourages us to think,something you and all those following fascist ideologies (that contradict Islam) are opposed to.

plaetton: Bros, to be honest , you guys have done a marvelous job so far, and I'm that [size=14pt]close to conceding. [/size] But common sense compels me to keep shinning the light.
It's not about pride or stuborness, none of which I have.

plaetton: You are intelligent people , and you would agree with me that " their evil ways " is much too ambiguous to be taken seriously as framework upon which punishment can be metted out.
It's like George Bush calling five Arab countries, "axis of evil" as an excuse bring war and conflict in that oil-rich region.
And exactly how does a nation repent from their evil ways? You agree with me that it would take at least two generation to weed out evil ways and enthrone rightousness in any given nation.
In case of the Israelites, Yahweh let them wander in the wilderness for 40yrs in order to weed out a generation idol worshippers. In that period, he killed 40,000 of them himself.

My point is that the idea being portrayed here that wearing sacloth, ashes and fasting for a period, somehow changed Nineveh from evil to righteousness is very infantile.
And ofcourse, the bible does not tell us what happened thereafter. Are we assuming that everyone got instantly transformed and never reverted to their "evil ways" again?
These kinds of stories are for little children and should not be taken seriously by thinking adults.

What the bible showed is a classic shakedown of Nineveh, nothing else.

The bible does not mention, but I am speculating that in the midst of all that sacloth, ashes and fasting, other deals might have been hatched between Jona and the king of Nineveh.
