Jews and Christians hate each other more than arabs and or muslims could hate either of them.
Really? I must have missed a lot then, like Jews and Christian suicide bombers killing each other.

Christianity EtcWhy Don’t Christians Name Their Male Children Ishmael? by waladis(op): 7:59pm On Aug 17, 2011
Genesis 16

1) Now Sarai Abram’s wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

2) And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me frombearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain
children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.

3) And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abramto be his wife.

4) And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

5) And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.

6) But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from
her face.

7) And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

8] And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

9) And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

10) And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

11) And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

12) And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his
brethren.

13) And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have Ialso here looked after him that seeth me?

14)[/b]Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

[b]15)
And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son’s name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

16) And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.


===================================================================================================================

The above chapter in the Bible brought the following thoughts and question into my mind.

I) Sarah was a little harsh on Hagar, so Hagar ran away from home.

II) An Angel of the Lord found Hagar on her runaway route, talked her into going back home and even told her about the child she carried in her womb. The Angel gave the child’s name as Ishmael.

Ishmael is amongst others (Isaac, Jesus, John the Baptist, Samson) in the Bible who had special births: an angel from God either announced their birth or gave their mothers instructions on the child they carried in their wombs.

Questions:   why do Christians not name their children Ishmael? is this Scripturally wrong, Christian-ly wrong or what exactly, or just for the fact that its associated with Islam? Who associated it with Islam, God or man?

I would understand, if Christians do not name their children Judas, but why not Ishmael?

your comments and opinions and welcome!

FamilyRe: Who Comes First, Your Mother Or Your Wife? by waladis(m): 5:50pm On Aug 14, 2011
Gray Beard:
I think the problem arises when there is a conflict of interest between mother and wife.
@ Gray Beard: I do not agree that a conflict of interest has to arise before a man finds himself in a situation where he needs to decide between his mother and wife. Check this scenario out. A man receives the news that his mother and wife were both involved in a motor accident. They were hospitalised in two different hospitals which are two miles away from him and they were both in a critical condition. Who do you think that the man should visit first?

CrimeRe: A Pakistani Man Caught While r*aping A 13-year-old Nigerian Girl by waladis(op): 12:13pm On Aug 13, 2011
obowunmi:
13 year old Nigerian girl doing cleaning work? Why isn't she in Nigeria being the child that she is ---- he must have thought she understood the "lingo" cleaning work which also equals prostitution, ask Strauss-Kahn, no be whole mouth person dey use talk.
Since I have read this story yesterday lots of questions has also crossed my mind like:

1) Where are the parents?
2) Did they give their consent that their child should follow the man to do the cleaning job?
3) Which reasonable foreigner will allow a 13 years old girl to go out alone not to talk of going out with a stranger in a typical Muslim country where the movement of women are restricted to some extent?
4) Female virginity is a very big issue in the Muslim world but the police nor the parents seems not to bother whether the girl was a virgin or not?
5) Is the girl really a victim of circumstance or she had a disagreement with one of her customer?

Araboy:
What a silly question ! You only get one Mother and no one can replace ever her  unconditional love and care  even  Dad
You can replace your wife as much as you like but not your Mother
So I would say Mother comes First Second and Third
You might not be able to replace your mother but your wife can give you love, care and affection just exactly like a good mother will do to his son, and moreover not all mothers are good mothers and not all wives are good wives. There are horrible and self centered ones depending oh how unlucky you are. If I were to choose I will surely choose my wife, not that I did not love my mother or vice versa but sometimes there is a space in the heart of man that a mother love can never occupied. Further more the Bible says in Genesis 2:24 - Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh. A man need to hold tight to his mother but needs to hold tighter to his wife. And mind you, you can not replace a good wife because there aren't much good ones out there.
CrimeA Pakistani Man Caught While r*aping A 13-year-old Nigerian Girl by waladis(op): 7:31am On Aug 13, 2011
Saudi Arabia’s religious police arrested a Pakistani man after catching him r*aping a screaming 13-year-old Nigerian girl inside his car under the cover of night.

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice were on a routine night patrol in the western town of Makkah when they heard a girl screaming inside a car at a deserted area.

“When they came close to the car, they found a 33-year-old Pakistani man r*aping the Nigerian girl…they caught him red-handed,” Sabq newspaper said.

It said the man had seduced the girl by offering her SR100 ($26) to accompany him to do cleaning work for a local family.
