  10 reasons why we should embrace our muslim friends

  by Pleasuredome in

  god loves muslims!.

  muslims are loved by god in the same way that he loves all people.

  like all humans, muslims are created in the image of god (genesis 1:26-27).

  Pleasuredome,

  I must admit I enjoyed your points. Having grown up with, gone to school with, and worked with Muslims I can say that good positive relations are possible, and I have known many good people in the Muslim community. However, I think Mary makes some very good points. It is easy to say Muslims do not view us Infidels, etc, but consider what their own holy book has to say! For those of us who have read the Quran, it is a wonder that all Muslims are not "extreme" and "radical", b/c the Quran makes its quite clear that that is what being a good Muslim involves.

  Are you an infidel? Nope. You aren't an infidel.

  Maybe not...but to the majority of the Muslim, I am! Just ask them

  A heartfelt warning to parents

  yesterday, at 5 in the afternoon, my 17 year old son was swarmed and beaten by a gang of 6 young males.

  in broad daylight, on the busiest corner of the city, in front of his horrified girlfriend and about 300 passers-by.

  he is in the hospital with head injuries.

  Amen! Its a great article...

  Although most Canadians either do not realize it or would not admit to it, the only reason Canada is as safe and prosperous as it is is b/c of our proximity to the US. Canadians like to criticize the US, and we pretend we are more "moral", and more understanding of the world, than Americans are. And yet, we don't mind the economic benefits that come from having the US are leading importer and exporter. We don't mind enjoying American movies and TV shows. We don't mind vacationing in Florida whenever we see fit. Further, even though we said no to joint missile defence, we wouldn't mind it at all, God Forbid, if the US came to our rescue should we be targetted by North Korean missiles, or missiles from anywhere for that matter. No country is perfect, and in Canada-US relations, the US will naturally always have the upper hand. But thank God for America, b/c without it we as Canadians would be much more vulnerable, much less secure, and much less prosperous than we are today.

  You could probably stay in a hostel, with a private room, alot cheaper than a hotel...but it wouldn't be as comfortable and i'm not sure about accessability...

  not pointing fingers

  by dvw in

  2. friends

  first off, i want to make it clear, i am not accusing anyone of any misdeeds.

  there are alot of topics on here like; "show your picture, what do you do for a living?, how did you pick your screen name?

  these are probably innocent posts by nice people.

  dvw,

  That is a good point, something I've never thought about, but certainly possible. Being out now I don't care so much myself, but it is definitely something for those who are still in to think about.

  As has been said before, "Dear Jehovah, protect me from your witnesses..."

  landis' mennonite hometown celebrates'we are disappointed with the lifestyle he lives, but i love him,' one says.

  farmersville, pa. - as floyd landis crossed the tour de france finish line sunday, his devout mennonite parents were riding their own bicycles home from church.. paul and arlene landis were so confident their son would win the cyclings greatest race they didnt have to choose between going to church and watching it on tv at a neighbors house.. im glad we didnt have to make that choice.

  church is very important to us, arlene landis said.

  Landis did an amazing job...the French are crying about another American winning :)

  I personally don't see Landis' family situation as that similar to JW's. At least his parents will still talk to him, have him visit, etc, even if they don't agree with his lifestyle. I can respect that. If that were true in my case, I would be grateful.

  i'm back from sitting through three days of the most mind numbing dribble you can imagine.

  the worst part was looking around and watching as the good little automatons took it all in.

  the only fun i had was doing my "mission.

  I admire your efforts, and the story is interesting...but I'm curious why you bother. If it were me, I'd be tempted to just leave, rather than going to so much trouble to try to persuade current witnesses to leave...
