		<description>&quot;The Quran is the only authentic source of information for Muslims as God intended to protect it till the Judgment Day without any human being able to distort even a word of it. So we’ll stick to it, thank you.&quot;

hey hilath, while u want to stick to this argument or belief don&#039;t u think its a a bit odd and funny. Why does one want to believe what was taught in school is to the correct views and system. In school we are told that allah said quran will be protected till the judgement day. But when we look at where in Quran or Hadith did Allah mention that. When we see it, there is a verse in quran, which says something like Allah will protect the zikr. Which actually means that allah will protect the revealed religion which includes both quran and the sunnah (the way and sayings of the prophet).

If you think logically, there is no point to protect the text of a book. But rather its the system of life prescribed in the book which needs protection. In several verses Allah asks to follow the prophet and also in others have mentioned that the prophet does not talk about religion or way of life out of his own ideas or desires. All are revealed.

Well this actually is a pretty straight forward thing. In order to protect the religion, the quran and the sunnah (way and sayings of prophet) will be protected. There is no doubt about it.

ok as for the burqa thing, well previos president or whoever who wants to modify the religion or twist according to his desires may say burqa is not mandatory. but its a fact its is obligatory.

Hey Hillath, by the way check the two verses in Quran (you say you want to stick to it) about the hijab or covering or dresscode for muslims women while going out. It says cover the whole body. I wonder if you take quran alone, women have to cover the whole body.

this is a long topic... there are two topic which i feel is never ending.. one is religion and the other is politics.. imagine when both adds.. hehehe

ok bye... will call ya</description>

		<description>It&#039;s one of the tragedies and ironies of intelligence and consciousness I think. Which sometimes makes me think that it is nature&#039;s mistake that we became self-aware and conscious because, what&#039;s the purpose if we cannot come to terms with reality and cannot sit back and relax in the face of the fact that absolute answers about this existence isn&#039;t forthcoming at this moment in time... 

People are free to believe in anything they want but they don&#039;t have a right to impose their beliefs on others. They should realise that while the belief of their choice makes sense to them, for the other person something else will make sense. So there are no absolute truths. Just human perceptions. 

If people cannot live with this fact, what&#039;s the point of their being self-aware, conscious and intelligent? They might as well be a lizard we see in the garden, whose only care seems to eat, drink and do whatever biological functions they have to by nature from their animal instincts, without thinking or pondering about why and how they exist and whether there is a purpose or meaning to their lives. 

PS: On another note, who are we to say that lizards are not intelligent, dho. They might be intelligent enough to realise the futility of fighting with each other and just let things be. Maybe that&#039;s why they spend so much time just relaxing on branches without seeming to do anything &quot;meaningful&quot; or &quot;purposeful&quot; with their lives. If we humans could train ourselves in this art of doing nothing, at least I think we will be able to let our fellow human beings live in peace. As Agent Smith says in &quot;The Matrix&quot;, &quot;Human beings are a disease, a virus on this planet...&quot; I can&#039;t find any solid cases to counter Smith&#039;s argument in the face of these extremists.</description>

		<description>exactly penny, so who are these genuine muslims really? I will say this once again, extremism should just be banned! Fali I whole heartedly agree with you.. I believe these children should have enough space and freedom to grow both emotionally and physically, confining them to such low standards is just unethical!! When I was in school in 6th grade, we were barely twelve and a friend of mine was forced to wear the burka when her mother married a long bearded extremist.. The girl refused to obey and they held her down and shaved her head.. SO please enlighten me is this what our religion, the so called muslim religion has evolved into? Oh and RECAT these people did not sexually abuse children as such but confining them against their will and being inhumane is the exact same for me.. Perhaps you disagree?</description>

		<description>I work as a resort executive for over 25 years. I and many other Maldivian like me live in the midst of tourists who wear beach costumes (bra and pants). The idea of feasting on their bare flesh as Mullahs define, never crossed my mind let alone rape them!! Probably a long beard is linked with increased sex drive which makes one loose control by sighting a girl in bikini.
The concept of Burka is just preposterous!</description>

What about all those quran teachers or mudhims who abuse children? They all read the quran daily. They don&#039;t miss a prayer. They are practicing muslims.</description>

Exactly.

I don&#039;t understand the concept of small kids having the burqa forced upon them.

But i guess, according the new born islamists, there are no kids in this world.. only sex kittens.</description>

		<description>Something I dont like is seeing small 5 year old girls made to wear the buruga these days (calm  down traditionalists, i dont like small girls made to wear skimpy clothes either) I think making them wear the buruga is sexualising them, because when you make a small girl wear a buruga you are saying she&#039;s a sexual being and she has something that men shouldnt see. Its the same as wearing skimpy clothes, because that again its sexualising. But now you see on the streets small girls wearing buruga to go to quran classes and I find it quite unsettling.</description>
