I used the 'zone' word, cos that's how my maps seem to describe the various areas of Doha :D I think I'm now in zone 45, but don't quote me on that!

thanks for that bit of info.... I never knew that...

A few years back in my hometown, there was a drive to put the "christ" back into "christmas" .... there was the concensus, that the "x" in xmas was taking the name of christ out of the celebration. Now I see, actually it meant the same thing all along.... Which shows that Gods shepherds(preachers/pastors) don't know everything....;-)

Just moved from one 'zone' to another.

now i am more confused

Just moved from one 'zone' to another.

X for Xmas

"the X in Xmas did not originate as our English alphabet's X but as the symbol X in the Greek alphabet, called Chi, with a hard ch. The Greek Chi or X is the first letter in the Greek word Christos....claims that as early as the first century the X was used as Christ's initial. Certainly through church history we can trace this usage. In many manuscripts of the New Testament, X abbreviates Christos (Xristos)"

It's headed 'Is God against Christmas' !!!! oo-er

Welcome back Jauntie are you back in Doha?

i dont like religions from middle east means i dont like all not only islam.

but i am a muslim myself:)

Surely the mother of the girl must havec had many bad experience with muslim people, from here is the hate. Personally I know many muslim people (how can I not here? :D) and most of them are nice.

But of course on the other hand there are also very bad people between them. Ok, there are bad people from all religion actually. But some muslim (I said some, so who reads it doesn't one of them, please don't take it personally) tend to be very fanatic, which is not common in other religions. For example the suicide bombers.

We no longer have to tell our kids who is the bad guy.....One News Channel say its the Middle-East's fault while the other blames it on the Jews & USA.

The Esteemed News Companies regularly do. Live & with all the gory details. Legs hanging out...skull blown away....baby cut in half....

Not long before such scenes were rated as not fit for children. I just cant believe they are showing this stuff on TV!!!

Mostly such images are shown so as to shock people into thinking emotionally & illogically. It is as if the motto of the News today is to evoke anger & revenge, in both camps.

Alexa no need to explode ... we dont explode in the new testiment just turn your other cheek. and tell nicely Its Christmas and not seasons

PM i value your thoughts your reply's are well and to the point not like others.

and for the record Christmas holidays will be exactly that for us and not seasons holiday or any other name maybe the non believers might be uncomfortable with the word Christ in it so what its still Christmas and the holidays are there coz its Christmas

I'm sorry Alexa :(

I just don't know who's kidding and who's not anymore! I think everyone needs a Christmas break from QL !

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

u want to know the truth?? i hate religions coming from middle east. they just spread over from china to south america and did nothing good. just blood & tears. and maybe the silence after war..

Alexa, I don't seek wealth, but if it comes my way then great.

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

Naaaa! I am not that teacher (in fact I am not a teacher). I heard this from a friend of mine and wanted to share this with you lots. If a Principal of a school is teaching that to her own daughter, what about the rest of Non-Muslim students?

This buddy of ours Nice Guy knows a lot about Muslims it seems. At least Muslims don’t call you white/black monkeys or abuse you on the roads. Do they? Did it ever happen to you Mr. Nice Guy? Have you ever seen bad things written on walls or elsewhere about any other religion by a Muslim? I have seen a lot of gory stuff about Islam & Muslims on the walls, stations etc.. Please do not tell me it does not happen in west. You know it is a fact, isn’t it? But we now that not all the fingers are the same… are they?

Your impression about Muslims is bad cuz you don’t want to see the right side of it and the way u think or speak about Islam or Muslim, it seems you don’t want to know the fact.

I am a Muslim (Allhumdullilah) and we are also referred as slaves by Middle East version of Brothers & sisters, but all the fingers are not the same as I mentioned earlier?

If you see something going wrong, Fix it before it gets worse.

Life is tooo short.. Live and let live. Enjoy while you can..

why u always taking people seriously.. this is not the first incident. a muslim can say wish all chirsts are dead or the opposite.

i had chirstian expat friends back in my country and they were saying sometimes people talk bad about them thinking that they dont understand turkish but they did. it happens everywhere!

just get used to it..

Niceguy in Malaysia Malays get special privileges no one else.

neither the Chinese nor the Indians there. and among Indians there are both hindus and muslims

Oh, and a bit of cash to treat her with.

[img_assist|nid=47010|title=Captain Smiley is here to save the world !!|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

I seek neither wealth, power nor land. So no we're not all the same.

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

There is no difference between us all. We all seek wealth, power and land.

We might be different in terms of color and facial features but underneath that skin we are all cold hearted.

Please respond to my post. Does it make sense?

Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. Mahatma Gandhi

When a little girl tells that all muslims are bad. I know some of my friends here feel bad becouse they are muslims. But just see what muslims are doing to hindus in Malaysia. Hindus are discriminated in every walk of life there. I feel Every Malaysia hindu tells the same words as that little girltold.

Before comming to gulf i really had high regards to islam. But when i lived in gulf some time and saw how the arabs treat other[south asians] nationalities i really dont like islam and muslims. i have a very bad impression about muslims.

I know some muslim here may try to explain me what the greate thing islam is but when i independintly analyse i really feel bad about islam and muslim religion.

I've been here for over a year & to be true its a bit shameful how few muslim friends i have... It probably works both ways...I know that we need to make more effort with one another to integrate and accept our differences, but to be honeset I'm often not sure how to achieve this.

There's a saying If the world fought An Eye for An Eye we'd all be blind.

Where there is Fire...There is Coke. Where there is Rum..There is Smoke - Sir Smoke-a-Lot

I always thought heat played havoc with senses. Cause every summer, everyone seems pissed off and ready to bite someone's head off lol

Anyhow, back to the topic. It takes two to tango. This vicious cycle of hatred is never ending unless we start uniting and putting our differences aside, no matter what someone says about us we shouldn't stoop down to their level and respond.

Now I'm speaking specifically to QL muslim extremists: u say that the West hates us and that we should fight an eye for an eye. But think for a moment, is that what the Prophet(PBUH) want ? would he want us to stoop down to the level of bombing and terrorism just to get our point across? Is this helping the cause of Islam? Wasn't Islam founded on peace ? I think all of these actions go against the fundamentals of Islam.

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

mom_me get back in ur hole...i'm not done with my world domination plan.

Where there is Fire...There is Coke. Where there is Rum..There is Smoke - Sir Smoke-a-Lot

Instead of discussing the post you guys have started fighting amongst yourself. Cool down guys... Be happy...

Trust me, this post it not at all fabricated. This is a true incident.

No personal grudges whatsoever, simply sharing.

If you want to believe it, believe it, else take a chill pill cuz no one is forcing you.

Is'nt there something about full moon playing havoc with senses. I'll go check my calendar. Peace.(Waiving my white hankerchief - may be it is safe to come out now).

Hey mom_me, it's cool, apology accepted, no hard feelings. I guess there was a misunderstanding, things have been really sensitive here and I've been caring about several issues and then to have someone come along and call me "misguided" and that I don't care about anything just hit a nerve. Please take the liberty and be as open as u'd like...that's why we're here, to share ideas and opinions :)

p.s. don't let this stop u from joking with me again! I live on humor!

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

Nothing else to do....

[img_assist|nid=47010|title=Captain Smiley is here to save the world !!|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

well why should i leave the blowing up for everyone else...i want my share too :)

Where there is Fire...There is Coke. Where there is Rum..There is Smoke - Sir Smoke-a-Lot

Smoke, you always have something substantial to say. Behind those sunglasses you are hiding ideas with enough TNT to explode the universe. (I am liberal at times).

Mr. Paul you will have to wait for my PMS. Hope you have enough patience.

Mr. Paul is just a half drunk no underwear wearing pervert pay no attention to him guess he too misunderstood u IF u were joking. Now peace! lets either stick to the topic if u have valid comments or just not post something to upset others.

This post sounds like its based on a personal gripe to me.

I don't even know whether to believe it.

But I can say one thing - and that is that I'd love to get to know more muslim people in this country...

Smoke, I said it jokingly. Same way she commented on my husband yesterday. But ofcourse many so called friends would not leave any opportunity to box the new comers. Will they. BTW, will you not say the same things about assumption to Mr. Paul

Mom_me you havent taken any liberty in the topic but u just assumed things about Corne...very bad mommy...yet again we are falling victim to discussing things that always cause problems here...what happend to NOT POSTING things about religion. we have so many things to talk about people.

Where there is Fire...There is Coke. Where there is Rum..There is Smoke - Sir Smoke-a-Lot

Mr. Paul, I don't think you need to interfere in this matter. What you say abut me does not put you in the right picture. I have already appologised to Cornellian.

it is very sad but it works both ways. I saw a video on You tube of a little Egyptian girl who has become famous because she has learned the Quran by heart at the age of 5. The interviewer ( a muslim woman) asks her questions on the video. One of the questions she asks the little girl is "what do you think of Jews"?. The little girl who is wearing a hijab answers that she hates Jews and wished they were all dead. The interviewer then claps her hands and congratulates the child. Talk about brainwashing for hatred at an early age.

Also what about these Sudanese muslims calling for the execution of the British schoolteacher for the improper namimg of a Teddy bear? These people do a huge miservice to muslims everywhere. It is people like these who are making pariahs of muslims because these extremists claim to be speaking for all muslims. What next? Are they going to call for the execution of the 7 year old children who actually named the Teddy Bear Mohammed?

I know many muslims and I work with them. I like them and I respect them and I know that they do not support this nonsense. I wish the vast majority of muslims who are really decent people would condemn this craziness. This would certainly dampen anti-muslim feeling in the west.

in the subway where a young girl upon seeing a black guy told her mother

Look Mom A Black Guy. (This is a true incident)

Its we who teach children what is white and what is black.

Cornellian, excuse me if I have taken liberty. As for the religious topics, I would like to say it gives an opportunity to understand religion other than my own. I do read the pros and cons in such debates.

Born narrow minded and bigoted.

Her profile says she is hoping to make friends...I doubt it when she comes out with c*** like that.

[img_assist|nid=47010|title=Captain Smiley is here to save the world !!|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Mom_me, don't u dare assume things about me, u don't know who I am. Before talking, go back and see all the posts I've written and all the causes I've fought for and how much I care about this world and its people. So don't call me a "misguided youth" when u have no clue of who I am and how I think and what my views are. But I've had enough of this Islam-Western bashing, it's bad enough all this crap happens around the world, do we have to drag it into QL as well and fight amongst ourselves? it's about time we put our differences aside and united in what we have in common.

I'll say it again, do not throw accusations at me without having proof. Thank u.

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

Cornellian I am bound to put some sense in a misguided youth like you. All you care about is your nail extensions and sauna.

Not again :(

I'm sick of all this discussions, can't anyone find anything good in the world to talk about ?

I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong :P - Garfield

Lovedoc, I have read about Quran in English. One of the duties of a pious muslim is to guide the non believers to the right path. (I am a pea brain so forgive me if I have interpreted it wrongly). It is very easy to condition a child's mind. Even if she might not imbibe most of the moral teachings she will ponder over them when she is mature and the teachings will remain with her forever. (Same goes towards guiding the lost youth of today - atleast they are not discussing nail extensions and hair salons. And some know what I am hinting on).
