every Praise is due to everyáh, We praise Him and we seek help from Him. We ask forgiveness from Him. We repent to Him; and we seek refuge in Him from our possess evils and our possess bad deeds.

O You who believe, – Be aware of Allah, and talk a straightforward word. He will forgive your sins and repair your deeds. And whoever takes Allah and His Prophet as a guide, has already achieved a mighty victory.
In the opening verse of Sura An-Nisaa’, Allah says:
O mankind! Show reverence towards your Guardian-Lord Who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, his mate and from the two of them scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;― Be conscious of Allah, through Whom ye demand your mutual (rights) and (show reverence towards) the wombs (that bore you): for surely, Allah ever watches over you.`
My Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Muslims in Britain are often asked, “Do you consider yourself British or Muslim?” In other parts of Europe, the question is, are you European or Muslim? And, across the Atlantic, “Are you American or Muslim, Canadian or Muslim?” And so on. The question presupposes that one’s identity and one’s loyalty can only fit into one category. It also betrays the questioner’s anxiety as to where we Muslims belong. Before we hasten to answer this question, we need to examine its assumptions critically. It’s and either/or question, and it assumes that being Muslim and being British or French or German or American/Canadian/Australian are mutually exclusive identities. It’s like asking, are you a husband, or a dad, or a son? Obviously, one can be every these, without any conflict or contradictions. The question itself is absurd. So, don’t answer this question as if you accept its wrong assumptions. The simple truth is that one can be a good Muslim and be a loyal British citizen, or European or American citizen without any problems.
The problem arises when we define our meanings narrowly and exclusively.
What exactly does it mean to be British, or whatever?
If one defines ‘British’ as being white, Anglo-Saxon and Protestant [W.A.S.P. for short] then clearly we brown skinned colonial cousins won’t ever fit that description. It’s racially and religiously exclusive. Who is ‘British’ has to be redefined. It must include every those who may have been born elsewhere but who have made Britain their home and who are entitled to a British passport. Being British is someone who strives to promote the wellbeing of everyone who lives in this country, and who is sensitive to the needs of people beyond our shores, someone who believes that ‘fair play’ applies not only to cricket but to life generally This is a more inclusive and acceptable definition of British-ness. We Muslims can certainly accept this definition and strive to fulfil it, because we find in it a resonance with our possess Islamic ethos.
To be a Muslim is to be a follower of a universal faith, to believe in One God and to believe in every His prophets. ‘Muslim’ is not a national identity. It’s a belief identity. A Muslim can be Pakistani, Bangladeshi or Egyptian by birth, British by nationality and at the same time be an obedient son, a loving dad, a devoted husband as well as a helpful neighbour and a loyal and upright citizen. One can be every this at the same time, with absolutely no contradictions. The contradictions only exist in someone else’s mind.
“O mankind, I have created you from a single pair of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may know and respect one another and not despise one another…”[Sura Hujuraat ch 49 verse13]
To know and to respect other people of different cultures, languages and ethnicity is a moral and spiritual imperative, decreed by Allah. Knowing and

It's an elegy on the daily rebirth and death of the immortal Moon. Please don't hesitate to tell how much it sucks. I'm 17 and need a lot of suggestions to hone any skill in me! Thanx a ton!
You mourn yourself, and each night you fade
Even more into your self-centered world, but
Each night you guide and guide
Blind Time, each night in insipid aura splayed
You walk, each night with counterfeited pride,
Complete in your lifelessness, you clip
Yourself, and reduce, bleeding immortality
Until those gods are satisfied,
And with your death they forsake you
To let you retake birth and be,
So, again, each night you collect moon-dew
In your sleepy veins
And grow the way you ever grew
Bound to dark and pulled by chains,
And there are but a numbered few
Abiding by mortality, who
Sense sorrow in your wistful name
While every the others are enjoying snooze;
But their ignorance saves you the shame
From pity; yet in your heart you keep
Simple, secret desire one-
A wish to buy their oblivion.

whereas most people feel compassion for others, i feel an unsettling feeling.. I know a human is an intelligent creature with feelings but still, an overpopulated species needs to be controlled and killed in mass numbers. Sometimes when i steer to work and the roads are clogged beyond any sort of simple fix, i feel like nailing the gas pedal and taking out as many people with me as possible. I DO NOT LIKE PEOPLE.. my dislike for the human race has guided me to hardcore horrorcore rap talking about brain pop body drop explosion from a FUCKING glock. Anyone else dislike the human race?

Now I have received my W2 form from my previous employer & I dont know how to proceed further.
Pls help me regarding this issue & clear few of my doubts mentioned below...
1. How should I file my returns, offline or online ? If I do it online, from where should I do this?
2. Which form should I use to file IT returns ? I didnt had any dependents there & I feel that mine will be a simple one. I didnt purchase any electronic goods from there.
3. If I file the returns online, do I need to send the difficult copy of the W2 form which I have received from US IRS?
4. Also after filing my returns if IRS owes me any returns then how will they pay it back? through online transfer or cheque? Do I have to share my US Bank account number for same ?
5. I also need to file CA state tax returns.. Is there a separate procedure for doing this ? If yes, pls let me that as well.

I was wondering if I could receive some info on the difficulty of designing a simple iPhone application. I am a freshman in high school. I am a straight A student in every honors class (double honors math) and I am great at logical and mathematical thinking. My dad also works with computers and has for over 20 years, and he's available to help me. I also have minimal experience in programming robots (very very simple programming language). If I was attempting to create a simple application, with little animation or sound, like a guide for a video game, would that be too challenging for me? I want some feedback so I don't waste my money on the Software Developer Kit for the iPhone. Thanks in advance.

I had to write introductions to famous poems, they had to follow a theme and I will have to gift them. So this is what I came up with. Please give me some feedback and suggestions.
The mind, it is beautiful, powerful, and yet simple. It is what makes a man, and tames a beast. It is what drives us forward, and yet holds us back. I will guide you through the mind and its complexities beginning with thought.
Thought, it lets us look what isn’t there, to remove the black shrouds that surround us. The mind and its thoughts help us bring meaning to our lives. It helps us understand the past, look the many futures that await for us, and steer us forward to what we want, and what we dream to have. Our thoughts help us realize the everyday world around us, and without them we are nothing. Walt Whitman describes the thought of time itself, and the world moving through it in “To Think Of Time”.
http://www.blackcatpoems.com/w/to_think_of_time.html
The mind sees the world around it, its mortality and purpose. But it also sees what is not there. It watches what could be, what may happen, what it will wish for, and many the times what will never arrive to be. It dreams, sees itself in places it is not or could ever be. Edgar Allan Poe speaks of the world that we may never reach, but like each night in our dreams. “The Dream” by Edgar Allan Poe.
http://www.blackcatpoems.com/p/a_dream.html
Our minds dream and think and steer us towards our wants, and hopes. But it also holds us back. When the dead walk and the dark encircle us, men cower. Our mind sees the world around it, and yet fears it. The horrors around us thrive, and fester. Failure, future, death! We look the world around us, and it terrifies us. Would you be scared when the spirits arrive as in Edgar Allan Poe’s “Spirits Of The Dead”
http://www.blackcatpoems.com/p/spirits_of_the_dead.html
The mind sees and dreams and fears but what happens when it breaks. What happens when the mind shatters, dreams and fear and the dark corners of the world mix and leave us behind in Insanity. What happens? Maxwell Bodenheim’s “Insanity”
http://www.blackcatpoems.com/b/insanity.html
When the beasts from the dark places and the monsters of the soul and the world around us close in. When dreams shatter, thoughts darken, and fear encompasses everything leaving the mind battered and broken. Still light shines through. Still; we wish, and even in the darkest hours we can still se the light. “wish” by Watie W. Swanzy.

I already have a website, and was wondering how to set up ventrilo on it.
Setting it up on my personal computer is easy, but using my already existing website would be be much better. Also, since I already have a website, I'm not going to spend more for a premade entrilo server.
If there is already a guide on this, a link would be great, or if it's really simple, then an explanation!
Also, do I have to have a specific nice of hosting service? I'm currently using Godaddy.
@Johnney
I've already googled it. The information I found was either on how to set it up on a computer or how to FIX problems on a website.

Im not sure what nice of PSP I have, I think its a slim but anyways...below the games icon it says PSP Update ver 3.95 and I think I've updated everything else possible on the PSP.

I have no clue what this is or means, every I know is that when I look below my games file sometimes I look an emulator Ive downloaded, but it says file corrupted and I cant use it. So Im asking for simple, very simple steps to make my PSP compatible with links and guides as to what I should be doing and putting on my PSP.

Hello , I am gonna buy this Dell Laptop tomorrow
Dell Inspiron 1564
Core i3
2 GB RAm DDR3
3 MB Cache
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4300 512 MB Graphic Card==>(*)
320 GB Had Disk
There is another 1564 Inspiron with same config. but no ATI RAdeon Graphic Card
,price difference is nearly US $110.
That is , I am going to pay $110 for ATI Radeon,
My question is that is this graphic card is going to be best for games ? Core i3 has also integrated graphics chipset. Is this graphic card will play games Like ( Brian Lara 2005 International , Tekken 5 or tekken 6 , etc).
What should i go for.?? i am not a gamer but sometimes i like to play that games i mentioned . Would this ATI GC is worth addition or not ? or it would be fine with simple Intel GMA 4500mhd and new Core i3 technology..?
Another issue , that i have bee offering for windows vista , or windows 7 Home . Most of my softwares are running good on XP, is there would be issue in switching the OS? My pal told me that windows 7 does support XP compatible softwares,is it true?
Or should I use Windows XP on CORE I3 , would that be fine? Does Core i3 works best on XP??
Please guide me , i have one night for the decision.
.
Thanks
its $100 difference not $110
would i be able to run tekken 5 or 6 using emulators?? like u said?

At 21 , I am made to quit to so-called-adore for education . I have quit studies for adore before, but by the time i realised it wasnt adore but attraction or something possessive abt the qualities found in my partner . But when i failed in studies , this adore dint help me and support me . I'm 25 now and yet i feel like a loner and depressed person . Ever since then , i never tried to adore and now iam seeing some light in my life when iam staying with parents and below control . But the feeling still exists in my mind when i loved . adore gives a feeling of floating in air , where as failure gives a feeling of 100kg weight stamped on my head . Can any experienced person help me how to guide myself for a glad journey in life ? I just want my life to be simple,easy-going,glad freeing myself from greed,lust,loneliness,ego . moreover,since its my mistake , no third person is aware of my adore & failure . Can I tell my future partner of the way i have lived till my 25 ? Already, I look like an oldman full of thoughts and philosophical nature..

This is going to take awhile- just a disclaimer... If you have the patience, then, Thank You.
So, this is how it every began...
I have a pal. We've been best friends for a long time already- until last year, I admitted to her that I watch porn and masturbate. I have been masturbating since I was 4 years old. I grew up that way. I was not abused. I was just born with a high libido I guess... And I discovered porn on my possess when I was 9 years old. I told her that. I needed someone to talk to, since I've been hiding it for years. It scared her. Both of us are known as "innocent girls" in our school- except that she is the silent type- and is not expressive- at every. But it's perfectly fine with me. She forgot about it, and nothing really happened after that. Okay. she knew. What was next. She understood that I was FOUR YEARS OLD when I started, so it was not because of anything else. I grew up in a Christ-centered family, so it couldn't have possibly originated at home. Simple. I was born with it and nobody's ever known, since then. My pal and I have never let that receive in the way of our friendship... That was until today. I asked her why people ask me if I am lesbian- I only brought it up because we were centered on the topic; I wouldn't ask that in just any conversation. She freaked out and gasped. It went like this:
Me: "(pal's name), why do some people ask me if I am lesbian? How can that be? Just because I am not guy-crazy doesn't make me a lesbian! I like to keep that topic to myself."
pal: "WHAT?! Why?! Are YOU lesbian?!"
And she looked so shocked and terrified at the same time. What was that every about? I only asked her what she thought about it... So, that was the end of it. We started to talk about something else soon after. I just told her that I wasn't.
After that event, I was still worried that she thought of me as a dirty girl. And I really am not. I am a conservative teen- only that I have a high sexual steer- been having that since I was four, (once again). Is it my fault for having a high sexual steer and discovering masturbation on my possess? God knows that. God knows that. I was just born that way.
And so, after every that stuff I've been telling her, may have somewhat built-up in her. Her terror and horror of having a "whore" for a best pal. I ask her for help because I sob to God asking Him why I was born like this. But y'know, at some point, you just gotta talk to someone who can say something directly back to you and help cope up with the situation. Which is why I told her. I thought that by doing this, this was the right thing to do. She could guide me in what I could do to over arrive them. So far, it's been good. But I guess, today, she just had about enough... Carrying on...
I had noticed (unless it was just that she was either in a bad mood, or I took it on a wrong way) that she was treating me differently than the usual. I hate to look her in such a state. We're best friends! C'mon. Of course it would hurt if she thought of me as being a lesbian just because I asked her why, I received quite a number of questions like that. I only wanted to look her point of view. I thought that she wouldn't take it that way...
It was every a mistake and mis-communication.
I didn't realize that my actions (i.e., by constantly asking her what the matter was- despite she not responding) had put me into a place that I had been preventing in the first place. every I wanted was COMMUNICATION. She just wanted to FORGET about the whole thing. Like I said, she's a silent girl, hence, she does not express her thoughts or is open.
By asking her what the problem was, and offering to solve it, I WAS ACTUALLY CREATING ONE! How should I know what she was thinking if she wasn't talking to me at every? I am not mad with her. She's my best pal. We have never fought- because she is THAT nice. LET ME REPEAT. I am NOT mad with her. I am only DISAPPOINTED that I had made her sob. every the asking if she was okay, had led to her being irritated (and believe me, she NEVER gets irritated!) and suddenly I saw tears in her eyes. I was guilty of making her sob. But I didn't even know why. She has to understand me, in the way that every I wanted was to keep the friendship strong- that is why I wanted her to talk to me what the matter was- which I found out later on, was that she was just getting annoyed at me for asking what was wrong and why she was feeling so down. Look. How can I tell that she was feeling that way, when she didn't want to talk to me at every? No. Seriously. How? I don't blame her, then again. I understand that she is not open about her feelings. But at least, just at that instant, she could have just told me why, and that would have been perfectly fine with it.
I turned around in the middle of the (what was turning out :'( to become a) feud, to talk to a pal who had just passed by. When I turned back, I saw her leaving the place and out the gates- without a goodbye whatso
(Continued)
I turned around in the middle of the (what was turning out :'( to become a) feud, to talk to a pal who had just passed by. When I turned back, I saw her leaving the place and out the gates- without a goodbye whatsoever. And also, if it helps, I will add that I hugged her and told her that I was so sorry for doing this to her. I didn't know that my asking her of whether we were both okay and fine, and that we were still friends, would make her so mad and annoyed- once again, my dear, how will I know that I she wasn't telling me anything AT every? She didn't return the hug and it seemed as though I was scared of her for the first time. I have NEVER felt her so icy.
Now I am here. Wondering what my next move should be. If I apologize, well what the heck. It will surely annoy her. But how can I explain my side without apologizing? That's kinda who I am. If I hurt someone, I apologize- even though it may not be my fault at times. I just like friendships to remain fixed an
and I believe that communication is a must. But, my mistake for allegedly "forcing" her to talk. I had no intention of doing so. I was only worried about why she was acting different than usual. I guess I may have overlooked other factors such as stress probably.
Now, I am here. Home. Thinking. Asking God what I have put myself into. What should I do? Should I make the next move? She's a really sweet girl. I just feel so guilty that I had made her sob. I don't even know what was going on in her mind. Maybe I shouldn't have opened up to her about my masturbation and porn. She would have never guessed that since I am a very religious person. Maybe it secretly scares her, but she just tries to forget about it.
What do I do know? Should I talk to her? Should I give it some space- yeah, which will aggravate the condition every the more...
Opening up to her about my problems had guide to this. I only wanted to talk to someone who could have helped me out. But as it is, I got none. God can
help me out. I know that. But it's not like you can really hear Him out noisy. I've been lost every these years. I didn't want to keep it inside me. I felt that the best thing was to tell a close pal and let them serve as your "real-live conscience". I don't know. I really do not know.
Now, I am NOT mad. I am just lost.... Really. Because apologizing will most likely annoy her every the more. And I don't want to do that.
I don't need to express how desperate I am for your help. Maybe I will look God communicating with me through your answers.
Thank You. Thank You so much. It is a blessing for you to take the time, effort, and patience to help me out with my dilemma. I really really have NOTHING. NO IDEA on how I could possibly patch things up. Now I AM THE ONE SCARED! ;'(
______________________________________
That was the relax of it. By the way, Thank You guys for answering my question. As of now, at least I have some nice of idea on what to do.
It's difficult to tell a professional. I don't know. I feel like that's the right thing to do, but not the best. It's difficult to open up to someone you don't even know. Well... I guess it has to start, somehow. Anyway, I'd still like to add how I really don't understand why I am this way. I'm really the innocent girl that I am, but I just discovered this "masturbation" at a young age- waaay before I even knew what sex was. I stumbled upon "sex" in a dictionary. Oh, and also, I really do not understand how I could've ended up this way- especially since I've NEVER EVER even seen a bed scene or been exposed to anything XXX or something like that! I just went directly to porn- and I'm a GIRL not a boy. So, it's really difficult to comprehend. But I know what is right and wrong- so, that is what I stand by. My values and trust in God. They will help me overcome temptations in my life. I just need to be strong. But for now, I don't know what in the world will help us reconcile...

CHAPTER 1:
In the ancient and historical city of Washington DC, on a certain summer day, I was rolled top and bottom in mud in an attempt to receive rid of my chasers.
Ironically, on that very same day, I was crowned the Queen of Royal States Dominion. It’s amazing how much your life can change in one day.
I was never supposed to be queen. I was not part of the Abraxas Line of Succession. I was just another tourist visiting my country’s capital snapping pictures of everything in sight. The glad banners hung everywhere, waving from every roof top, were not in my honor but Princess Alexandria’s, the lady who was to become queen. The banners said ‘Long Live Queen Alexandria!’ They did not say ‘Long Live Queen Lela!’ every the talk that week had been about Princess Alexandria and her coronation minus the terrible tragedy that led to it. But there was no talk of the teenage girl who had arrive to Washington DC with her class in the ‘Kids of the Future’ program to learn about her nation’s history.
How did this happen? Surprisingly, it’s pretty simple but according to the person who is publishing this, a memoir has to be longer than a page, so I have to fill you in every the details instead of giving you the simple truth. I’ll try to write as much as I can but be forewarned. Congress, my group of advisors, are arranging a meeting which is to start in a few hours to discuss this ‘unfortunate mishap’ but I’ll write as much as possible from now till then.
The dude leading the tour was called Mr. Berkeley.
He walked up front, guiding us through the hallways congested with Secret Service agents, portraits of past presidents, and huge marble busts of monarchs in the Abraxas dynasty.
I didn’t know how the ‘Kids of the Future’ director, Mr. Jackson, managed to tug this off. I mean, how many people can receive a private tour of the Capitol Palace by one simple phone call that didn’t just go to the parts you look in the public tour, but in the private family parts you never look, except maybe on TV, and even then it’s just some director’s idea of how the family’s private quarters look, and not the real thing?
It blew my mind.
The décor looked quaint, even more quaint than when the Royal States Dominion was the United States of America. It looked, if you asked me, like something when the United States of America was first founded about fifteen hundred years back. I guess the Abraxas monarchs liked to keep things traditional even though they were memories of the broken government.
He gathered us into a big open bedroom, that had an arched ceiling. I recognized it from the holographs of the Capitol Palace I had studied before I came here. It was the bedroom of James Abraxas, the first monarch in the Abraxas dynasty as well as the person who restored North America, establishing the Kingdom of the Royal States Dominion. He started telling us the history of the room which I already knew by heart so I inserted a tiny cylinder into each of my ears and opened my wrist computer, putting it on screen setting so Mr. Jackson wouldn’t look the holographic proof that I wasn’t paying an inkling of attention. I surfed through the long list of songs, selecting ‘Born For This’ by Paramore. I was a big fan of the classics. Even though the quality of the recording was awful back when Paramore was a band, I feel that their songs can still relate to me even if I am three hundred years after them.
I could look my pal, Jade, turn every now and then and by the way my head is bent down so they are staring at my bright blue converse (It still surprises me that fashion hasn’t changed at every in the past three-hundred-something years.) with my hands tucked into to the pockets of my faded black skinny jeans, she knows that I’m listening to the amazing musical talents of Paramore- according to me, not her. She smiles at me mischievously and catching Mr. Jackson’s prize winning glare, she turns her attention back to our tour guide.
At that very moment, Prince William, King George Washington Abraxas’ grandson, enters the room. every of us jump in shock. To look a royal who might someday rule our country in person is equal to well, by my standards, meeting with Paramore.
Prince William is seventeen years old, a year older than me. He has shiny dark brown hair that ends just below his ears and curves in every different directions, making his cheek bones more noticeable and his bright blue eyes more prominent than before. I can’t help but think that he is so incredibly handsome even though I know that I’m never going to be the Cinderella who always gets her prince for a variety of reasons. One, I know that the Prince is probably arrogant due every the other girls who fall every over him and I refuse to be like that. Two, even if the prince isn’t arrogant and haughty and everything else in a person that totally pisses me off, he has too much of a public life while I am in the Covert Operations portion of the ‘Kids of the Future’ program and everyt
everything else in a person that totally pisses me off, he has too much of a public life while I am in the Covert Operations portion of the ‘Kids of the Future’ program and everything I do is strictly confidential. Three, William is such a boring name.
He seems a little surprised to look us here- I guess there were no public tours today- but he recovers quickly and raises his hand in greeting. We return with a grin and a ‘Your Highness.’
We stand their awkwardly in complete silence. My earpiece’s volume which was barely noticeable before on account of Mr. Berkeley talking but now, everyone within ten yards can hear the music blasting from my ears. Mr. Jackson turns to glare at me and everyone giggles. Mr. Jackson’s glares are extremely hilarious when they aren’t pointed at you.
below Mr. Jackson’s steel gaze, I slowly reach up and take out the nanotechnology from my ears, dropping it into his open palm.
“I’m sorry,” I said, except it sounds more like a question than apology.
“No, you’re not,” said Mr. Jackson. He beckons to the double doors. “Out. Now. We need to talk.”
.I know its wrong to but I think that Mr. Jackson’s lectures and tantrums are so hilarious.
I hold my breath and follow Mr. Jackson out of the room. The prince is staring at me curiously probably because I’m grinning from ear to ear, recalling every of Mr. Jackson’s tantrums in the past and trying very, very difficult not to burst into laughter right there.
Mr. Jackson didn’t even bother to close the door behind us. It was like he wanted me to be publicly humiliated. My grin widened at the thought, a hint of my insanity.
“You are giving us problems, missy,” he said.
That was every he’d managed because a Secret Service man was running toward us. “Tags!” He ordered.
We showed him the pass we had been given. He scanned it and then asked, “Have you seen Prince William?”
“Right here.” said the prince, appearing at the door.
The Secret Service man looked relieved. “Your Highness, please follow me
Something has happened.”
The prince looked worried and bid our whole group a formal farewell before proceeding toward the Oval Office. I looked around and noticed Secret Service men everywhere, talking into their throat mikes, and every running toward the Oval Office.
The Oval Office.
The King’s work room.
Suddenly, I understood.
King James Abraxas IV was dead.

Okay so me && my boyfriend have been together for about 6 months now. We dont receive to look eachother as often as we like, maybe about once or twice a week. But the issue is we're basically at the same point we were 6 months ago, maybe a little has progressed but deff. not much. I'm just honestly at a loss, He's so silent && doesnt like to open up to me, sometimes when I try to receive to know him he seems to just not want to answer the question or takes the simplest way out. He pretty much fits the description to a T of a capricorn man, && me I'm a pisces. I know we're compatible, && when me && him are alone & have intimate time together I can feel that something is there. I just wish I'm not wasting my time, && I wanna be sure that the effort I'm putting into this will be rewarded at some point. I'm not in a rush, but he really doesnt give me much to hold onto. hes sweet when he wants to be, but it isnt very often. I just need some sort of guide to go by *lol* Please help!
&& I have told him how i feel, told him I'd be there for him, cuz I really would be. I wanna be with him, but I need some sort of reassurance back. && he doesnt give that which is the issue.
Also one more thing, Why does he always want to be with his boys? I mean he chooses them 1st && he look them almost everyday && every they do is the samething everyday! It makes me feel un-important. should I not stress that or is there something there I'm not seeing?

... more than 500 Christian Nigerians including women and kids were slaughtered by Islamic thugs with Machetes this last weekend
I am not going to remain passive about it. I am not sure what else I will do but I will start with posting the following. What will you do?
Here is the wisdom of a German who witnessed the Genocide of the Nazi's.
A German's View of Islam
This explains exactly what the gift day Muslim terrorist situation is every about.
A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of big industries and estates, When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.
"Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools.. So, the majority just sat back and let it every happen.
Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had arrive .. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories".
We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace.. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant.
It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and to somehow diminish the spectra of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.
The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave.. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who tutor their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.
The difficult quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous.
Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of more than 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.
The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a war mongering sadist Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet..
And don't forget Rwanda , which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?
History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for every our powers of reason we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our foe if they don't talk up, because like my pal from Germany , they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics possess them, and the end of their world will have begun.
Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not talk up until it was too tardy.
As for us who watch it every unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts; the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

This question is directed particularly to Christians, but Atheist are free to answer as well..
My question is really in response to another question posted earlier by another user saying that Atheist "hate" Christians ...
Christians, when kids are young and not mature enough to understand right from wrong in a situation where they are bound to do an extensive / massive amount of damage, the parent or elder in charge immediately begins to correct that child with the necessary method needed to assure that childs safety etc.. In this case it's called " Tough adore " .. In some cases , the child doesn't understand why the parent may be so harsh or " appear " mean to them.. As that child gets older or becomes mature enough to understand the actual severity or seriousness of the issue - they then look why the parent or elder had been so tough with them during the past incident and thanks to that parent or elder - they ( in some cases ) " the child " lived to become successful etc. .. ..Christians, when an Atheist is called on by you in an effort to convert them and that Atheist uses pure irrefutable, undeniable, demonstrable, authentic, scientific, occular evidence over what you have simply been told to " believe " you immediately become like that child - not understanding what the Atheist is trying to say to you, and you start to feel like someone is trying to hurt you or take something away from you .... the Atheist is using the same " Tough adore " that it takes to bring that child up correctly and guide them back into the natural accord for success. So why do you immediately say things like " Atheist hate us Christians ", or " Atheists are the devil trying to discourage us from our faith " ? ..... Atheists aren't the ones who " believe " in a devil , you christians do..... So why do you use words like " hate , devil , sin , scoffers, demons , etc. " .. and direct them to Atheists when they've done nothing but granted you a plausible logical response to your claims ? why are Atheist haters or devils ?

Did you know
A Muslim is defined as one who follows the religion of Allah, Al-Islam. Divisions exist to separate differences. If we divide ourselves, it is due either to some worldly difference between us or a difference in faith (as mentioned, neither is justifiable). A deliberate alteration of faith does not create a sect of Islam, it creates a distinct faith which the followers may claim to be a sect of Islam. Thus, there is a great danger involved in attributing oneself to one of the many so-called sects of Islam. Loyalty is allowed only for Allah, His messenger, and to those people who claim loyalty to Allah and his Messenger (SAWS) (i.e. the Muslims). Those of us who declare loyalty to a specific sect had better beware; sect of Islam is a contradiction of terms. You can have one or the other, not both! In accord with this, verse 32 of surah #30 of the Quran reads:
And be not like those who join gods with Allah, those who split up their religion and become (mere) sects, each party rejoicing in that which is with itself!
The words, "that which is with itself" refer to those differences which people use to justify their separation from Islam. Notice that polytheism, the greatest sin, is prohibited along side with division of religion. This pairing, like everything else in the Quran, is deliberate. It is meant to demonstrate the magnitude of this crime.
A good Muslim is one who is without denomination, faction, or any other special loyalty. The prophet (SAWS), in his final speech to the whole Ummah, said that between Muslims, there are no races or tribes. We have divided the Ummah which our nabi (SAWS) tried so difficult to keep together. Allah warns us, in verse 105 of surah #3 not to allow ourselves to dissociate. The verse reads:The approximate meaning in English is:
"And be not like those who are divided amongst themselves and fall into disputations after receiving clear signs: for them is a dreadful punishment in store".
Islam, being a flexible religion, allows for a variety of opinions and customs, as long as they do not contradict the religion. As mentioned, religious disagreements between the so-called sects of Islam can be resolved by turning to the Quran, not by segregation. The Quran is the book of guidance for every OF mankind. How can we convince anyone of this if we cannot even be united amongst ourselves! We are making a mockery of ourselves to non-muslims by refusing to follow the simple instructions of our possess holy book! Allah's disapproval of disunity among Muslims is evident in verse 103 of surat Al-Imran:
The approximate meaning is:
And hold quick, every of you, to the rope of Allah, and do not separate. And remember Allah's favour unto you: how you were enemies and He made friendship between your hearts so that you became brothers by His grace: and how you were upon the brink of an abyss flame, and He did keep you from it.
Thus, Allah maketh clear His revelations unto you that haply you may be guided.
The ayah refers to how the Meccans and Medinians were united by the grace of Allah. This example illustrates how Islam was, and should still be, a uniting force between Muslims despite any superficial differences which may exist between us. The ayah also tells us that the Quran contains very clear guidance. Given that, there is no reason why any two Muslims should not practice Islam the same way, the way Allah has instructed.
The most shameful division among Muslims is that of denomination; the major ones being sunni, sheea, and ismaeli. These are every artificial divisions which have absolutely nothing to do with Allahs revealed deen. Who are we to clip up Allahs deen into little pieces, especially when Allah has forbidden us to do so? This is a crime committed by nearly 1 billion Muslims. A study of the history of these sects reveals that they were created PURELY by political disagreements. Later, innovations in religion guide to religious differences. An honest study of the Quran easily reveals these innovations (which I will not mention for the time being, due to time constraints). Nowhere in the Quran is there any mention of sunni, sheea, or ismaeli, and so we must make these terms alien to our vocabulary! The Quran is very clear in this matter. Allah has declared that sectarianism is Haram. As Muslims, we are prohibited even from involvement with people who restrict themselves to a so-called subdivision of Islam. This point is mentioned in verse 159 of surah #6:
As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou hast NO PART IN THEM IN THE LEAST, their affair is with Allah, He will in the end tell them the truth of every that they did.
It is interesting to note that when Quran refers to those who will inhabit the jahannam, Allah often mentions that they will look the truth of every that they did or that they will receive just treatment for every that they used to do. These endings are never mentioned for those people who will enter Paradise. They a

There's no great way to put it. You had a go at being together, and it isn't working out. It may be over, but you owe it to your nearly ex-partner (and yourself) to be considerate. mad, indifferent, or bittersweet, there are certain codes of conduct that should apply to every parting of ways.
Don't Wimp Out
If you're on the aggressive side of a breakup, the very least you can do is show up. That means no emails, no voicemails, no letters, and absolutely, indisputably, and unequivocally, no text messages. Some purists like to extend this edict to rule out phone calls as well, but honestly, sometimes a simple call is easiest for both parties. Most of us don't really need to stare into the eyes of our soon-to-be exes. Whichever execution you pick, breakups should at least have the potential to be a two-way conversation. And that's really best for everyone because that single conversation may be the closest to closure either of you receive.
Don't Drag it Out
Once you know it's over, don't wait for the right moment. It will never happen. You might have saintly intentions in the short-term, but your procrastination will be twice as cruel once your partner realizes they were the only one manning the relationship in the end. Breakups are difficult. Do it anyway. When there's no turning back, a quick and decisive break is best for both of you.
Don't Take Cheap Shots
You'll leave them feeling lousy -- not only for getting dumped, but for caring about such a jerk in the first place. It may seem like science fiction now, but some day you might appreciate a friendship with this person. At the very least, you don't want any chance encounters to arrive to blows. But while humanity and compassion are perfectly viable reasons not to stoop so very low, the best reason is a greedy one. Whoever they are and whatever they've done, their flaws can't excuse yours. You owe it to yourself to maintain your character. Regardless of the circumstances now, you cared about this person once. That's yours, and one day you may want to remember that fondly.
Don't Lie
Softening the blow with euphemisms may receive you out of telling them about their halitosis, but laying blame where it doesn't belong won't clip it. For instance, don't claim their thoughtlessness did them in, when it was really your steamy neighbor. They won't understand why their most romantic overtures can't win you back. While telling them their stories put you to snooze isn't particularly helpful (someone else may find those snoozers fascinating), chalking up a split to their busy schedule won't work either. Most of the reasons behind a breakup can be filed below information that doesn't help anyone, but fiction is never the answer. Keep things vague if you must -- just keep your sense of reality.
Don't Condescend
Put your sensitivity to good use, but hold the pity. Do your S.O. the favor of letting them escape as a whole and undamaged person in your eyes. You very well may be the best thing that ever happened to them, but they don't have to know that you know that. As with every breakup rules of conduct, the guiding principle here is that both parties are treated as independently loveable individuals who just aren't going to work out together.
Don't Rush a Friendship
Hopefully, the two of you part ways civilly and can put your knowledge of and respect for each other to use in a future friendship. Key word being future. Don't confuse things by spending time together too soon. Even if you're the exception -- even if you're really, truly, utterly certain you can handle it. The rebound friendship spells doom. You need at least three months apart before you can try building (or returning to) a platonic relationship. Give each other some space, then you can trust you've given your friendship a fair chance.

Yet another example of Islamofascism has occurred in Nigeria over the weekend. What will you do about it?
... more than 500 Christian Nigerians including women and kids were slaughtered by Islamic thugs with Machetes this last weekend
I am not going to remain passive about it. I am not sure what else I will do but I will start with posting the following. What will you do?
Here is the wisdom of a German who witnessed the Genocide of the Nazi's.
A German's View of Islam
This explains exactly what the gift day Muslim terrorist situation is every about.
A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of big industries and estates, When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.
"Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools.. So, the majority just sat back and let it every happen.
Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had arrive .. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories".
We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace.. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant.
It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and to somehow diminish the spectra of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.
The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave.. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who tutor their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.
The difficult quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous.
Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of more than 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.
The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a war mongering sadist Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet..
And don't forget Rwanda , which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?
History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for every our powers of reason we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our foe if they don't talk up, because like my pal from Germany , they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics possess them, and the end of their world will have begun.
Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not talk up until it was too tardy.
As for us who watch it every unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts; the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

At the moment a religion is usually considered to be an organised society that shares a set of common beliefs, such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and many more. But for some reason Atheism, Agnosticism, Theism, etc receive classed as 'non-religions.'
But consider the definition of a religion - here's a few links the define it but I'll use the one I used over.
> Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion
> Dictionary.com: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/religion
> My definition: "An organised society that shares a set of common beliefs."
(Note how on the links I found from a simple google search seem to imply that Atheism and other 'non-religions' are not religions)
So why do we treat Atheism as a non-religion when in reality it is? OK, they don't have building of significance to them like churches, temples or mosques, and they don't have some form of guiding text or texts, although Richard Dawkins "The God Delusion" may be a contender there.
But consider this. The internet is the atheists 'church.' There are societies for Atheists.
What is harder to find an equivalent for is the guiding text(s.) Now I accept the argument of the Atheists that they don't need a guiding text because the follow their possess moral code. But as a psychology student I am very aware of the human nature to require help every once in a while, and it is reasonable to assume that where a Christian person would turn to the bible, or a Muslim to the Qur'an, an atheist would turn to some form of text. The question though is what?
So now to you - I'd like opinions from as many walks of life as possible, but please no derogatory comments about other peoples or their faith. I will report answers that do this.
I will be looking for answers that are more than just 3 word answers - longer, more thought out answers is what I'd like.
Thank you.
To 'M to the R': I am English, and I am agnostic. I am not a 'fundie' as you like to put it.

I've seriously been working on this thing for 2 hours now just for one game (FF:Dissidia) and I need to receive version 5.50
I've already downgraded but I've been told to download different files and really not told where to put them, so if someone could please help me out by giving a simple guide on what to download and where to put it.
If you/I have to start the entire process over, thats fine, I just really need help as the other "guides" only solve parts of the problems.

I recently purchased a dual stereo head for my 1988 Ford E-150 (replacing stock stereo) and replaced front and back speakers with new sets. Hooking up the speakers was simple, but I ran into a problem when installing the radio. It appears that my van has a premium sound system, and I'm assuming that means that there is a factory amp for the speakers. Would my best bet be to bypass the amp and put it directly to the head, or should I run it through the amp? Also, depending on the better of the two, could a short guide be provided to help me accomplish this? Thanks.

I was wondering if I could receive some info on the difficulty of designing a simple iPhone application. I am a freshman in high school. I am a straight A student in every honors class (double honors math) and I am great at logical and mathematical thinking. My dad also works with computers and has for over 20 years, and he's available to help me. If I was attempting to create a simple application, with little animation or sound, like a guide for a video game, would that be too challenging for me? I want some feedback so I don't waste my money on the Software Developer Kit for the iPhone. Thanks in advance.

There are tons of resources out there on programming serial ports, but I guess they every all designed for cs majors. I'm looking for a step by step guide on the absolute simplest (9 pin) serial port program possible. Something like "If pin 1 == 0 then pin 9 == 1". Do any of you have a link to something like this, preferably in c and win32. Thanks.

Okay, to warn you, I DO NOT know anything about this nice of stuff, so, help me out here and talk like I'm a complete fool.
Following a guide on the internet a while back I created a .reg file that runs on startup and makes a simple fix that stops my computer from displaying an icon in the taskbar that prompts me to disconnect my wireless internet connector deal.
It works perfect, it's just, on start up I always receive a "Are you sure you want to add the information in C:/blahblahblah.... to the registry?" and then another one saying something about the data being added to the registry.
I was wondering if there was a way to cease these messages from appearing, without disabling the .reg file altogether, as it's just a little annoyance.
**I mean the message on startup is just a tiny annoyance.
Mr. C, I tried your suggestion, and found myself receiving the message twice on start up.
