Enlightenment as an Islamic Concept By Dr. Abdulaziz Othman Altwaijri Introduction : The imprecision of the word ‘enlightenment’ in term of linguistic and cultural meanings resulted in a confusion that has gone beyond cultural and intellectual contexts and has become a political issue. Enlightenmen...

and here is another story of about how religion seperates us all and makes it so that nobody can get along. It's not the religion who seperates us all, it's those people who never give it a through tought... The Big Questions..... http://www.dubaiforums.com/philosophy-dubai/dedicate-robbyg-the-big-...

Berrin, one of my favourite theories of creation is that we were all created 5 minutes ago with ready-made memories. To date, no one has been able to prove this theory doesn't fit the facts. ^^We could have been created 5 minutes ago provided that God created the world 5 minutes 1 second ago.lol. B...

Note the comment from a reader: Roughly analoguous from the CIA Handbook: "After military submission of an enemy state, the war is not over. In some respect it is starting only then. To complete the conquest and to prevent a backlash, the most capable enemy forces usually gone underground must ...

They were physically lifted since Krishna was God in human form. Definetly such spiriutal powers were exhibited in olden days. Now the situation has really changed. In olden days people were really spiritually elevated and they were really searching for God and His knoweldge and how to please Him e...

According to Cole, Ahmadinejad quoted this statement in 2005 yet wire service translators rendered Khomeini’s statement into English as “Israel must be wiped off the face of the map.” Yet, Khomeini had referred to the occupation regime not Israel , and while he expressed a wish for the regime to go...

Personally I think it's a good thing and there's the bigger issue of countries now taking a stand and basically saying 'you wanna live here? live our way'. Remember the issue is not the burqa(which is a piece of cloth) but the status of women in the society..To me the women living in burqa have mor...

The burkah that covers the face except for the eyes should not be allowed where there are safety and security concerns. Body-covering veil is burqa, face- covering veil is called niqab… Why is it that burqa/niqab becomes a concern of safety in european nations while it is not in arab nations? Why i...

Don't expect too much respect from the locals. Being able to see someones face and hand shaking is part of Western culture. If you donot like it... It’s not the mini skirt with a tight top or the burqa itself that gets the respect (they are piece of cloth) it’s the person who is able to carry their...

Yes a lot of people will not agree with me if arrogance, superiority complex coupled with ultra secular nationalism get in the way of fair and rational thought. This thread is about showing your face in modern day Western society in public. Not about the dark ages or weddings . I agree with you..tha...

Krishna lifted the huge mountain and let every body follow Krishna after lifting the mountain! Lifting a mounting is not the spirituality. Spirituality is not gaining powers to do miracles. Spirituality is to please God and become a family member of HIM. Spirituality means becoming a strong devotee...

Berrin, many countries apply restrictions on the height allowed on construction of a building depending on location. Even in Dubai, there are/were areas where you could not build over a certain height. What has restrictions got to do with architectural assessment of a properly designed building? If...

Now lets come back to this issue. Do you think those values will ever liberate MEN eh?

There goes the Belgian security argument in a nutshell. In fact, this just goes to prove that the covering of a woman's face is purely a restriction laid upon them by jealous men and religious zealots. How about a pair of big s.exy cat eyes with succulent hot lips. :drunken: Imagine you just pass b...
