What will be your choice when it's time to get off the fence? Socialism or Freedom?

I know there will be quite a few reading this question who are completely oblivious to just what is going on. And - there are those who know, but who just don't care (apathy). Then there are the deniers, in a world of their own.



You may or may not know of the dangers that the present administration has told the truth about (change). The change being forced on us, though, is Socialism. We are about to enter into a world which we will be unable to change.



Read the book from the 30s or view the video from the 50s simply called, %26quot;1984.%26quot;



Next year, if things are allowed to continue, you won't recognize our country.



What do you think?
What will be your choice when it's time to get off the fence? Socialism or Freedom?
You are preaching to the choir here, but glad to see you waking up, and coming out good job. This is certainly a take over of the united states with out destroying it. It is 101 from the book The art of war. I have been fighting this battle for 20 years resisting NAFTA and any thing that resembles a move towards the New World Order. Please keep up the fight! Thank you!
What will be your choice when it's time to get off the fence? Socialism or Freedom?
Those aren't diametrically opposed forces. I can actually have cake and pie at the same time.
He is not a socialist godammit, he is a fascist get it straight.
In the words of Jefferson....%26quot;Socialists and liberals are idiot loons%26quot;



(My next door neighbor, Bob Jefferson)
I have never been on the fence, always on the side of freedom.
the new 'fear card' is socialism, i get it now. the GOP lost get over it, this is what the MAJORITY voted for
Once again a simplistic dichotomy.
Please, not so much hyberbole. The %26quot;forced%26quot; changes are happening through our democratic system of government that we the people have established. If you don't want to live in a democracy, move to a country where the people are free from making their own choices.
I was never on the Fence!
More fear-based ranting.
sheogorath speaks the truth
I vote for Freedom and I am willing to fight to the death for it
The choice of Working Class will be %26quot;Workers Government%26quot;





Psst ....( Its Socialism).
I am so very tired of friends telling me that we can't make a difference ! When the time comes which is now in my opinion I choose freedom ! They will have to kill me to take it away and pry the empty gun from my fingers !
Freedom.
Imagine if you had shown this level of scrutiny when the Bush administration was wrecking our economy and country!!!



But you were in a comma back then --or asleep; weren't you, Einstein?
I think I%26quot;m disgusted with what I am seeing.



I cannot abide what this socialist dilettante is doing to the USA.



That's what I think.
i want freedom that why i vote democrat i know what happen with nixon and bush trying to take our freedom away i read the book 1984 it mirror Mr. Bush
Here's your $10, another Town Hall next week.
I wouldn't mind living in a free socialist country like Sweden. Your dichotomy is false.
I already have plans to move to a democartic country, Honduras. When their leaders get out of hand and try to destroy their constitution they remove them!
freedom hands down! I don't care what it takes to keep it, I'll do the hard work if I have to!



*turns to Green Tea is awesome*



Are you trying to play the racist card on this guy?! Race dose not matter, its Obama's radical policies that are scaring more and more people! Why are you demonizing people who simply disagrees with you and blame Fox for try to force people to agree with you?? FYI not every body watches Fox and get their information from non bias resources that may agree with Fox. its people like you that really angers me to get other people to be silent and you to force your opinions on them and force them to agree with you. everyone is protected by the first amendment and have a freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, and freedom for religious beliefs.
I dunno....the right wing radio dummies are always going on about 'socialism', yet the entire planet is owned and controlled by trans-national corporations. 'Socialism' to the corporate suck-ups seems to be Oliver Twist asking for 'more'. How dare Oliver ask for more? How dare the 95% of us that work for wages ask for 'more'? The working class has been robbed, raped, swindled, $%^%26amp;ed over and shat on long enough. Yeah...we want more! You don't like it? Hard cheese! I wonder who posts these stupid 'questions'? Some corporate CEO? Some low level smurf that stays tuned to the GOP's Ministry of Propaganda, where everyone who isn't totally behind union busting or lowering taxes for the rich is a...'gasp...'liberal'! Sticks and stones, bro....you reactionaries are way on the wrong side of history. Power to the people! Bread and roses!

Is Obama linked to the islamic prophecy and the mahdi?

%26quot;Is Barack Obama the %26quot;promised warrior%26quot; coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?





The question has made the rounds in Iran since last month, when a pro-government Web site published a Hadith (or tradition) from a Shiite text of the 17th century. The tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar (meaning Oceans of Light) by Mullah Majlisi, a magnum opus in 132 volumes and the basis of modern Shiite Islam.



According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet's cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a %26quot;tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West.%26quot; Commanding %26quot;the strongest army on earth,%26quot; the new ruler in the West will carry %26quot;a clear sign%26quot; from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: %26quot;Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us.%26quot;



In a curious coincidence Obama's first and second names--Barack Hussein--mean %26quot;the blessing of Hussein%26quot; in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means %26quot;he is with us,%26quot; the magic formula in Majlisi's tradition.%26quot;



Will be Obama with us, Muslims,

as the meaning of his name in Persian language



The name Obama in the Persian language (Iran’s language) means_ “He is with us.”



According to Islamic tradition, there was an Islamic Imam who was the Prophet Mohammed’s cousin and son-in-law. His name was Ali Ibn Abi-Talib. This man gave the following prophecy:



“At the end of times, and just before the return of the Mahdi, a tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West; commanding the strongest army on earth. The new ruler in the West will carry a clear sign from the third Imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali .”



Strangely enough, the name Obama in the Persian language means_



“He is with us.”



On November 27th, 2008, Barack Obama was asked the question regarding the vision for change and where the change would be. Obama quickly stated, “I am the change, the change comes from me.” We are made to wonder who this strange one is, and what is his real agenda?



I know he has started coming out the closet about the 'muslim' topic and has stated that some of the members of his family are muslim.



your thoughts??
Is Obama linked to the islamic prophecy and the mahdi?
It's possible. Just like it is possible that he can be the Christian's Antichrist. But nobody will know for sure until after the Rapture comes.
Is Obama linked to the islamic prophecy and the mahdi?
time to start facepalming
one things for sure, i dont think obama is a true christian like he poses to be
Yeah totally. That makes perfect sense.
All this Obama prophesy crap is really getting rather old. That's my thought on the whole thing.
Doubt it.
But Islam is a false Religion isn't it? If its all made up then none of its %26quot;prophosies%26quot; can be true.
The phrase %26quot;clutching at straws%26quot; comes to mind...
hmmmmmmmmmmmm dunno
See, the Muslim fundies are just as funny as Christian ones.
Hey, why not?

It'll be fun to find out.
There is no recorded Shiite text that says that.
i do know obama is half African middle east and American
Is this kinda like the anti-christ of the christian faith?
Obama isn't Muslim some of his family members are, big deal. My mother is Methodist and my father isn't in religion. I have another person in my family who is Catholic. Does that mean I am like them, Nope. Learn the facts before you start smearing someones name.
Clutching at straws!
I think you need to just admit you are a racist and are grasping at stars in order to feel legitamate about hating Obama. Support your leader and pray he makes the right choices. If my name was Manson, would you assume I am a serial killer, or if my name was Timothy, would you assume I am going to blow up a building?
I put zero credibility in any prophesies coming out of a false religion like Islam. But there will arise an antichrist who will probably be accepted by Islamics as this one they're looking for. Hitler fooled many but was just an introduction to the antichrist. I think Obama is also an introduction, but closer to fitting the AC description.
The first phone call from the Oval office was to a Muslim country and the first interview was given to a muslim newsgroup. Though I didn't believe all the secret Muslim agenda stuff the GoP was spreading around, maybe they were right.



I hope not, I hope he is just doing a good job...
The promised Messiah and the promised Imam Mehdi has already come. He appeared in 1989 in a small village of India named QADIAN. He has over 10 million followers in 129 countries of the world. He has categorically suspended Islamic Jihad by Sword. All his prophesies so far have been fulfilled on their time. His followers silently preach the Islamic ideology all over the world and they are called AHMADIS. The main muslim sects have been severely opposing him.
Is Obama linked to the islamic prophecy and the mahdi?

-No

prophecies are BS.



And no, the world is not going end on December 21st, 2012 either.
It is crap. Like the poster above said.



He is a peacemaker. I guess I missed the memo about that being a BAD thing.



Jeez.
Well, it's quite amusing to hear this story.

Do all of you people have this urge to conquer the world?



Sorry for answering this question with another question.
SHIA ARE NOT MUSLIMS IN FACT THEY PRETEND TO BE, HERE'S WHAT TRUE ISLAM IS ABOUT:

Ok, we know we don't create each other and we don't come to this world from nowhere because when we die we must be going somewhere as well, hence there must be God, if there were many Gods, they would have fought over what to be created and what not to be, probably over who to die and who to live at the same time... so it's gotta be one God... if that God created us then there must be a reason... could we figure it out on our own? God made it easy and sent us messengers and prophets to show us the way and tell us why... so all the messengers and all the religions are from the same only God, so they've got to be complementary to each other, not opposing each other!!! then God must have said His final words in the last message, what is the last message? and how do we know it's the last one? I guess that would be the religion that believes in all messengers and all books equally... is there such religion? actually yes, Islam does :)

ISLAM REQUIRES YOU TO BELIEVE IN GOD, THE ONE GOD, HIS ANGELS (SERVANTS, NOT MALES OR FEMALES), HIS BOOKS, RELIGIONS %26amp; PROPHETS EQUALLY, DAY OF JUDGEMENT, HEAVEN %26amp; HELL AND THAT FATE IS FROM GOD (GOOD OR BAD)

A True Muslim (man or woman) gets his reward for obeying Allah's orders (Allah means The God in Arabic) by going to heaven, where he/she are indulged forever in all the good thing s that were on earth and more, things no one ever dreamt of or heard about. The Holy Quran tells Muslims (men and women) there will be good food, good wine and sex in heaven for all, but not in the bestial way you may think of, but rather in a way that is satisfactory for everyone and better than what was on earth. Heaven is no heartbreak or injustice land.

True Muslims are no terrorists, and Islam never calls for that, Islam means peace, it bans violence unless you were fought so you fight back, it only doesn't require Muslims to be cowards, and true Muslims understands this very well and never attack civilians.

Islam is the only religion that accepts freedom of religion and asks men to treat women gently like queens.

Muslims don't deny Jesus, they believe in him, love him and respect him so much.

WE BELIEVE JESUS IS NOT DEAD till today; he wasn’t murdered or crucified as most people think. God made the man who betrayed Jesus be killed instead by switching their looks for a moment. Jesus was left up to live in heaven until the end of days when he will come back to earth, make justice prevail instead of oppression, fight the imposter and perform his last prayer before he really dies like other Prophets. So we're waiting for you Jesus, Messenger of God, to bring the world peace and pray with us. That’s what prophet Muhammad told us and this is what I believe in, I’m a Muslim

I DON'T SEE WHAT'S THE PROBLEM THEN IF OBAMA WAS MUSLIM, BUT LET ME ASSURE YOU HE IS NOT, HE DOESN'T BEHAVE LIKE ONE, HE SAID HE THINKS THAT ISRAEL (THE INVADER) IS DEFENDING ITS LEGAL RIGHTS (BY THE GENOCIDE OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT UNARMED CIVILIANS AND BOMBING BABIES AT SCHOOLS ON PURPOSE!!!) AND THIS IS INJUSTICE THAT ISLAM CAN'T ACCEPT. ALSO PALESTINIANS ARE MERELY STRUGGLING TO LIVE PEACEFULLY (NOT EVEN TO REGAIN THEIR STOLEN LAND) AND YET THEY ARE CONSIDERED TERRORISTS BY HIM!!!

so how do we know it's true? what is said in the last message and what should we do? read the following, and you'll figure out for yourself:
Some Siiah break the first pillar of Islam. Dont plaese them, will you?

Is Obama linked to the islamic mahdi in the end times?

%26quot;Is Barack Obama the %26quot;promised warrior%26quot; coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?

your thoughts??
Is Obama linked to the islamic mahdi in the end times?
When that prediction was made, there was no 'west'. And I'm sure Barack's parents named him that so he would be muslim antichrist. What a load of crap.



If muslim nutjobs quit blowing themselves up and killing americans because of it then thats ok by me.
Is Obama linked to the islamic mahdi in the end times?
He's the one!!!
LOL. this cracked me up. you are not serious are you?
No, I think the reason why he picks such a topic is because at the moment america has been in war with muslims. And since he has just come in to power he has to put things right as that is what his country expects.
i know it sounds terrible, but you have to admit...if he IS linked with terrorist organisations in secret, it's by far the most devious and brilliant plan theyve had and may well bring alot of damage if succeeded...



BEFORE YOU RATE ME DOWN, i in no way believe this or support it...it is merely an outlandish theory
Apparently there is a growing market for fairy-tales for adults!
I think there is a lot of kool aid in your question.

For one thing there was never a question about him being in the closet about his father and others having been Muslim.

For another his father left when he was very young and he himself is not a Muslim, he is a Christian.

Every president makes a change, and that change comes from him.

Bush declared himself the decider, he made many changes, few of them good, but no one felt he was the antichrist.

Prophecies are worded so loosely that over the centuries many can claim to fulfill them. But they aren't ever so specific that when they don't come true there isn't a way out.
the anti christ is predicted in most religions, it makes interesting reading telling you the signs to look out for
may i ask whats ur source for the %26quot;prediction%26quot; or prophecy that you're telling? because i am a muslim from the middle east and i've never heard of this before so it's not really as common as u think! while we all here think obama is a good change, we dont really believe %26quot;he is with us%26quot; or whatever thats supposed to mean.
No.

Can anyone else relate to this song in any way?

I really love it, it's beautiful =)



Take a Chance by Matt White Band:



Maybe we could drive a little more

One more song we both could sing

Then maybe i could be sure of things

I never try to tell you what you want

Look at me see what you need

I couldnt simply let you be



You let down your guard

That's when i slipped right in

Take a chance on a little bit of love, a little love

Throw your caution to the wind

Let it take away, shake out the worries

Do it before it's too late, before it's too late



Maybe we could laugh a little more

One more smile you're feeling things,

You and I can sense the change, the change

I speak my feelings a lot, I'm not to proud

I gotta get to the bottom of what's keeping her around



Cause you let down your guard

That's when i slipped right in

Take a chance on a little bit of love, a little love

Throw your caution to the wind

Let it take away, shake out the worries

Do it before it's too late, before it's too late

Throw your caution to the wind

Let it take away, yeahhh oh yeah



Cause you spend too much time

Pretending i don't really care but i do, i do

I tell you



Throw your caution to the wind

Let it take away, shake out the worries

Do it before it's too late, before it's too late

Throw your caution to the wind

Let it take away, yeahhh oh yeah

Throw your caution to the wind

Let it take away, yeahhh oh yeah

I Have To Hear The Beat To Actually Like The Song.

Could someone read over my essay?

Hi, Im writing this for my AP English class, and would really like some constructive criticism. I know there are some, so don't tell me that I have none. Please help me! Need to turn it by tomorrow!

All illegal immigrants currently residing in the United States should be found and receive their punishment immediately. The people of America have begun to notice a change; the change in which the U.S. lands are constantly being bombarded by the waves of immigrants. Sources C, F and E give us a vague idea about the current problems the country is going through. As well as identifying the problem, it also suggests on ways to minimize the effects of the problem. The problems that are caused are economic hardships, the workforce is becoming weaker, and expenses are shooting through the roof, personal injury increasing as well, including mental and physical, and many others.



How does the presence of Illegal Immigrants affect us? According to source “C”, “The People of California”. The article informs us that because of Illegal Immigrants the people have suffered tremendously. Because of “Aliens”, the people were beginning to have security issues as well as their faith in federal agencies. “Aliens” were also the reasons behind the expenditure of the state of California. Source “E” also has a similar outlook on this matter, “Millions in our country who violate.” The people were ready to accept immigrants into their society, but even though they did, the immigrants did not obey their laws.



Population changes in the previous years have been massive. This would mean that honest Americans would become unemployed, resulting to more expenditure from the government. According to source “F”, the immigrant’s population, from the year of 1996, has doubled to a population pf 11 million in the recent years. This resulted in thousands of job shortages, and also resulting in crime. “If an automatic “path to citizenship”…” This would mean that if the government had offered amnesty, the entire illegal immigrants population would be legalized, which would be cruel to the legal immigrants who earned their citizenship.



Why is the American Treasury constantly losing money? Because of the constant wave of immigrants, who do not feel the need to legalize themselves, and also because of the cost and labor to track the “Aliens”. Throughout the years, illegal immigrants have been stealing the jobs of true Americans. They control 24% of the work present in farming alone. All of their salaries are undocumented because of no paper work. This would result in no taxation, as well as no income for the government. According to data-analysis of the year 2005, 12.4% of the births taken place in the US, were immigrants.



The government needs to make a decision, it needs to make changes. It needs to limit the years of residency given, as well as enforcing rules and laws. They need to protect Americans, as well as the Legal Immigrants. Even though it would cost great amounts to deport the “aliens” it would still result in a cheaper price.


Could someone read over my essay?
Your intro is wayyyyy to long. Ideally, AP essay intros should be 2-3 sentences long. Why are you incorporating support in the intro?



Your thesis is muddled. How can you make it more concise?



Using a sentence as a transition is weak writing.



You need to start with the thesis. Formulate a thesis that clearly identifies your position in addition to the main reason behind your position. I realize you have three points, which you don't have to list in the thesis, but you'll need to put those three points under an umbrella of sorts... Kind of like this:



Illegal immigrants should be given every opportunity to remain in the US as long as they adhere to the established policies.



I would then discuss two or three policies to which they should adhere.



  • clear nail polish
  • take advice fron me
  • Do you believe that non Muslims will go to hell? Even if their good deed out weigh their evil deeds?

    Then how do you explain this verse?



    Surely, the Believers, and the Jews, and the Christians and the Sabians — whichever party from among these truly believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good deeds — shall have their reward with their Lord, and no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.



    (Holy Qur'an 2:62)





    Some of you will say, but the bible was changed, the change was already made, according to the Holy Qur'an, and still Allah said what he said.........



    Did Allah not know of this change, if you insist that it was changed?
    Do you believe that non Muslims will go to hell? Even if their good deed out weigh their evil deeds?
    Yes according to Hadith one sect of Christianity and Judaism have Jannah.



    The Bible Old Testament is the word of ALLAH. The New testament in which the whole son of god idea came from is the blame, it is not by Jesus (as) at all or the word of god, but the word of Luke and Paul.



    Remember anyone who says La ila ha ilallah ( There is no god but god) and have an ATOMS weight of good in their heart will be of the lowest rank Jannah. Such is the Mercy of Allah (swt)



    Edit: No actually there are some differences

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?…



    @Poisen (Natassias clone to fight Ankaboot, yeah every1 knows), actually I DID say there is a difference between Torah and OT look at my link. And show me son of god in the OT please.



    Salam
    Do you believe that non Muslims will go to hell? Even if their good deed out weigh their evil deeds?
    2:62 was abrogated by 9:29-30.



    Didn't you know?



    We Christians are deluded because we believe in the scriptures that say Jesus is the Son of God.



    Stupid Christians for trusting in their scriptures that Allah gave to them but then allowed to get %26quot;corrupted.%26quot;



    EDIT @ Imam....What do you mean, eventually? Allah's going to make them sit in some kind of Islamic purgatory for a while? Don't forget, the verse says they will not have any fear nor will they grieve. Guess what? Hell is full of fear and grieving. So, it looks like according to this verse, I will not enter hell at all.



    So, you'd better hope it was abrogated or Islam is thrown out the window as unnecessary.
    My understanding of the verse:

    ? All monotheists will EVENTUALLY enter heaven.

    ? The verse also states the three minimum conditions for a believer:

    [1] believes in Allah - [must NOT contradict Tawhid]

    [2] and the Last Day

    [3] and does good deeds



    ? Yes the bible have changed:

    (Koran 2:79) So woe to those who wrote the Book with their hands, and then say: %26quot;This is from Allah,%26quot; that they may sell it for a little price. So woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for their earnings



    ? It may NOWADAYS refer to particular sects of Christianity or orthodox Judaism which believes in strict monotheism, or that assume 1-2 generations after their respective prophets' times when it was not corrupted.



    ? Example: NOT all Christians believe that Jesus was divine. There are Unitarian Christians as well. There are Christians who believe that Jesus was a man. And so on and on....



    ? Point to be noted that: it may not refer to today's Christianity, which is purely pagan in nature (mithraism).



    ? TO BE NOTED: status of Jesus was decide in 325 AD, under Constantine, so we can safely assume that: there were factions of Christians in those 300 years which denied the divinity of ibn Maryam (as).



    ? [Yusuf Ali 5:69] Those who believe (in the Qur’an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

    I thought that Allaah was neither a loving God nor a hating God, but JUST God!. My answer reflects my thinking. To me Monotheists are H-n-f [follower of One God of Ibrahim (as)].



    Ok the person may not have offered prayers [Islamic ways] or may not have done hajj, but these are sins against God, and God is stated as ar- Rahman and ar- Rahim hundreds of times over.
    only allah knows.
    first did you read the verse

    Allah say

    these truly believes in Allah

    so if you in believes in Allah you will go to heaven

    then

    Who is Allah?

    Allah means God. It is a personal name, which Allah calls Himself in the Quran. That is where we get it. It can also be found in an Aramaic copy of the Bible, and even Christian Arabs say Allah.



    Who is Jesus to us?

    Jesus peace be upon Him is a true prophet. Sent by Allah like Moses, Abraham, Lot, Noah, Jonah, Joseph …etc.



    Who were Jesus's parents?

    Jesus is the son of Virgin Mary, and he had no father. Allah created Jesus.



    Can Jesus, or Mohammed peace be upon them be worshipped?

    No, Allah does not accept that a cow, a person, an angel, a prophet, a stone, or anything be worshipped in place of him, or even along with Him. Worship must be to Allah the creator of them.



    What does it mean to believe in Allah?

    It means to believe in Allah in total perfection, and uniqueness.



    It means to believe in His prophets cause they are His, and He sent them. We cannot pick and choose. A Muslim must believe in all the prophets of Allah.



    It means to believe in the Angles! We must love them all, we cannot hate an Angel say, for example, to hate Michael who is charged with rain, and the vegetation of the Earth, or Gabriel who is charged with revelation (brings down the scriptures to the prophets).



    It means to believe in Allah's predestination of good, and bad (relative to us, but to Allah everything Allah does is good).



    It means to believe in the last day: The day of Judgment.



    What about non-Muslims do they go to heaven?

    Allah only accepts Islam. He says in the Quran: %26quot;Whoever seeks a religion other than Islam it won't be accepted of him, and he will be one of the losers in the hereafter%26quot;. I would rather lose anywhere, but not lose in the hereafter. This is because Hellfire is eternal. It never ends, and we never die when we go there, if we go there.



    What about someone who never heard of Islam?

    Allah is the most just. Don't even think that we can be nicer than Allah. Allah is the Most Just, and He said in the Quran %26quot;We were not to punish till having sent a warner%26quot;. The %26quot;We%26quot; here is the majestic we used in Arabic. So if a person never heard about Islam, and was never warned clearly Allah would have a special test for that person that He knows is equal to the chance that person would have had on earth.



    How do we know Islam is the truth?

    It is the only religion that:



    1- Hold Allah as One, Unique, and Perfect.



    2- A lonly worship of Allah, not Jesus, not an idol, and not an angel only Allah.



    3- The Quran does not contain contradictions.



    4- The Quran contains scientific facts, which are 1300 years ahead of their time. The Quran while revealed 1400 years ago contains scientific facts, which are only now being discovered. It is not in contradiction to science.



    5- Allah challenges the world to produce the like of the Quran. And He says they won't be able to.



    6- Prophet Mohammed was the most influential man in History. Even a non-Muslim wrote a book called the 100 most influential men in History, and Prophet Mohammed was #1. Prophet Jesus was #3. Note even Prophet Jesus was a prophet sent by Allah. Would Allah allow a false prophet to be so successful? No. Even the Bible says this in Deuteronomy 18:19. A false prophet would die!!! Yet Prophet Mohammed did not die till he completely conveyed, and taught Allah's religion.



    7- He had many prophecies, and all of his prophecies have come true, or are still coming true.







    Most importantly is this:

    Allah created us, and we know that we should only worship Him. This is an instinct Allah has created us with. He did not just leave us, rather He sent prophets for us. These prophets had miracles as proof. The miracle for us today is the Quran. There is no other religion that worships only Allah, and believes in Him as totally perfect, and believes in all of His prophets, and scriptures.



    Can anyone become a Muslim?

    Yes anyone can. There are two declarations, which are necessary:



    1- To bear witness that no one deserves to be worship except Allah



    2- To bear witness that Prophet Mohammed is the Messenger of Allah.



    This makes a person Muslim. But it should be said in Arabic. Next a person takes a shower, and He/She is a Muslim.



    Then What?

    After a person becomes Muslim he/she is taught about Prayers, Fasting, the Poor due, Pilgrimage. These are pillars of Islam.



    Then What?

    Muslims are brothers. A Muslim should love for his brother what he loves for himself. Allah's wealth does not run out, and Allah can provide for us all. We pray for each other, and love each other, and love for our brothers and sisters what we love for ourselves.
    People of the book are not just weighted on their religious beliefs, but also there morals and good deeds, so in my opinion, yes they are going to go to heaven if they are good.
    their good deeds can't out weigh their bad deeds because the worst thing anyone could do is associate partners with Allah (SWT) which most do.
    a lot of people don't believe in fairy tales.

    I really wonder if you have any idea what you are talking about.



    The Old Testament is the Jewish Tanakh.

    The New Testament includes the gospels as well as the epistles from Paul and several other followers of Christ. The New Testament is what differentiates Christians from Jews. If Christians were only supposed to follow the Tanakh, then they'd be Jews, and there'd be no point to the Christ.



    Good grief. The logical fallacies you've used make my brain hurt. And the Old Testament prophesies a SAVIOR. Someone who will bear the burdens of humanity's sins. Did you know that?
    Aouzo bi LLAHI mina shaytan rajim

    bismi llahi Rahmani Rahim:



    “Verily, those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allaah and the Last Day and do righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” [al-Baqarah 2:62]



    The second is the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): “Surely, those who believe, those who are the Jews and the Sabians and the Christians – whosoever believed in Allaah and the Last Day, and worked righteousness, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” [al-Maa’idah 5:69]



    In order to understand these aayaat correctly, we need to refer to the scholars of Tafseer (Qur’aanic commentary). The great Imaam Ismaa’eel ibn Katheer, may Allaah have mercy on him, said in his tafseer of the aayah from Soorat al-Baqarah:



    “Allaah, may He be exalted, points out that whoever of the previous nations did well and was obedient, will have a good reward, and this will be the case for everyone who follows the Unlettered Prophet [Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) until the Hour comes – he will have eternal happiness, and they will not fear what they are going to face, nor will they grieve for what they have left behind. As Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): ‘No doubt! Verily, the awliya’ of Allaah [i.e., those who believe in the Oneness of Allaah and fear Allaah much, and love Allaah much], no fear shall come upon them nor shall they grieve.’ [Yoonus 10:62]. And Allaah tells us what the angels say to the believers at the time of death (interpretation of the meaning): ‘Verily, those who say, “Our Lord is Allaah,” then they istaqaamu [stood straight, i.e., truly followed Islam], on them the angels will descend (at the time of their death) (saying): “Fear not, nor grieve! But receive the glad tidings of Paradise which you have been promised!”’ [Fussilat 41:30]



    As far as the Jews are concerning, their faith meant believing in the Tawraat (original Torah) and following the way of Moosa (peace be upon him) until ‘Eesa came, after which whoever continued to follow the Torah and the way of Moosa, and did not leave this and follow ‘Eesa, was doomed. As far as the Christians are concerned, their faith meant believing in the Injeel (original Gospel) and following the laws of ‘Eesa; whoever did this was a believer whose faith was acceptable to Allaah, until Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came, after which whoever did not follow Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and leave the way of ‘Eesa and the Injeel that he had been following before, was doomed.



    The aayah (interpretation of the meaning), “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:85] is a statement that Allaah will not accept any way or deed from anyone, after sending His Final Messenger, except those that are in accordance with the laws of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Prior to this, however, anyone who followed the Prophet of his own time was on the Straight Path of salvation. So the Jews were those who followed Moosa (peace be upon him) and referred to the Tawraat for judgement at that time. When Allaah sent ‘Eesa (peace be upon him), the Children of Israel were obliged to follow him and obey him, and so they and others who followed him became Christians.. When Allaah sent Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), as the Final Prophet and a Messenger to all the children of Adam, all of mankind was obliged to believe in him and obey him, and refrain from what he prohibited. Those who did so are the true believers. The ummah (nation) of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) are called the believers because of their deep eemaan (faith) and conviction, and because they believe in all the past Prophets and in the prophesied events that are yet to come.”



    Commenting on the aayah in Soorat al-Baqarah, Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:



    “What is meant is that every group believed in Allaah and the Last Day, which is the appointed Day of Reckoning, and did righteous deeds. But after Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was sent to both mankind and the jinn, true belief can only be in accordance with the way of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Whoever follows his way will not fear the future or grieve for what they leave behind.





    Islam Q%26amp;A

    Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
    This is the beauty of Islam. Unlike Christianity and Judaism our religion is action-based rather than faith-based.



    Whoever does good, whether a Muslim or an unbeliever, God will reward him.%26quot; His Holiness (as) was asked: 'What is rewarding an unbeliever like?' The Holy Prophet (as) replied: %26quot;If they have had regard for kinship or given alms or done any good, God Almighty would grant them wealth, children, and health in reward to their good deeds.%26quot; He was (further) asked: 'How will they be rewarded in the Hereafter?' The Holy Prophet (as) replied: %26quot;They will receive less severe punishment. Then he recited this verse from the Holy Qur'an: (Cast the people of Pharaoh into the severest burning fire!) (Al Nur: 46)

    - Mizan al-Hikmah, II, 662: 2213.
    Do you believe that non Muslims will go to hell? Even if their good deed out weigh their evil deeds?

    Then how do you explain this verse?



    Surely, the Believers, and the Jews, and the Christians and the Sabians — whichever party from among these truly believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good deeds — shall have their reward with their Lord, and no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.



    (Holy Qur'an 2:62)

    --------------------------------------…

    The verse is best explained by another verse so that there will be no more confusion:





    %26quot;If only the People of the Book had believed and been righteous, We should indeed have blotted out their iniquities and admitted them to gardens of bliss.%26quot;



    (Quran 5:65)



    -------------



    You said:



    Some of you will say, but the bible was changed, the change was already made, according to the Holy Qur'an, and still Allah said what he said.........



    Did Allah not know of this change, if you insist that it was changed?

    --------------------------------------…



    First of all, Neither Christians nor Jews (in general) believe in oneness of Allah. On time, A Christian man entered the mosque while the Rasulullah s.a.w. was reciting from the Quran:



    %26quot;They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their priests to be their lords besides Allah%26quot;



    (Quran 9:31)



    So he said: %26quot;We did not worship our priests.%26quot; The Messenger said: %26quot;Yes, you do. Don't they make the Halal (allowed matters) Haram (disallowed matters) and the Haram Halal, then you follow them?%26quot; He answered yes. The Messenger said: %26quot;That is worshiping them.%26quot;



    So by obeying their priests in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allah, they made them partners of Allah.
    No I don't believe non Muslims will go to hell. If other religions don't believe the same ways, why should they be punished for it? Everyone has their own mind to speak for themselves and believe what they want to believe. Everyone is equal :) No matter the differences.
    Attitude of Islam towards other religions

    I have some questions about Islam, could you explain them for me? What does Islam say about people of other religions? Are all non-Muslim people regarded as sinners because they do not follow Allaah and Islam? Can any non-Muslim person enter Paradise without following Islam?.





    Praise be to Allaah.



    The ruling of Islam concerning other religions is that they are all either fabricated and false, or abrogated.



    The fabricated and false religions are those like the ancient Arabian practise of worshipping idols and stones.



    The abrogated religions are those which were taught by the Prophets who came before our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). They are valid in that their origins are from Allaah, but Islam came and took their place, not with regard to basic beliefs such as the existence of God, the angels, Paradise and Hell, for these are matters which all the Messengers have in common, but there are differences between them with regard to ways of worshipping and drawing close to Allaah by means of prayer, fasting, pilgrimage, alms, etc. The later followers of the Prophets have fallen into deviations of belief and shirk, but Islam came to point that out and bring people back to the correct belief taught by the earlier Prophets.



    It was narrated that Abu’l-Darda’ (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: ‘Umar brought some pages of the Tawraat to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, these are some pages of the Tawraat which I took from a brother of mine from Banu Zurayq.” The expression of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) changed, and ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Zayd – who had been shown the adhaan [in a dream] – said, “Has Allaah taken away your mind? Do you not see the expression on the face of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)?” ‘Umar said, “We are pleased with Allaah as our Lord and with Islam as our religion and with Muhammad as our Prophet and with the Qur’aan as our guide.” Then the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) relaxed [?}, and said, “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if Moosa were to come among you and you were to follow him and leave me, you would have gone far astray. You are my share among the nations and I am your share among the Prophets.” (Narrated by Ahmad, 15437).



    Ibn Hajar said:



    All the isnaads of this hadeeth are such that they could not be taken as evidence individually, but when taken together they prove that this hadeeth is correct. (Fath al-Baari, 13/525).



    The evidence for that is the verse in which Allah says (interpretation if the meaning):



    “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers”



    [Aal ‘Imraan 3:85]



    Imam al-Tabari said in his commentary on this verse:



    What Allaah means by that is that whoever looks for a religion other than Islam to follow, Allaah will never accept that from him, “and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers” meaning, one of those who deprived themselves of their share of the mercy of Allaah.”



    (Tafseer al-Tabari, 3/339)



    Islam does not regard them (followers of other religions) only as sinners, but as kaafirs (disbelievers) who will abide forever in the Fire of Hell, as stated in the verse quoted above.



    He (the kaafir) will be a loser in Hell, and will not come of out it. It is not possible for a kaafir to enter Paradise unless he becomes Muslim. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):



    “Verily, those who belie Our Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and treat them with arrogance, for them the gates of heaven will not be opened, and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through the eye of the needle (which is impossible). Thus do We recompense the Mujrimoon (criminals, polytheists, sinners)”



    [al-A’raaf 7:40]



    It was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “By the One is Whose hand is my soul, no one of this nation, Jew or Christian, will hear of me and not believe in that with which I have been sent, but he will be one of the people of Hell.” (Narrated by Muslim).



    We ask Allaah to guide the seekers of truth from other religions to look into the religion of Islam and its Book, the Qur’aan. May Allaah guide them and open their hearts to enter Islam.





    Islam Q%26amp;A





    http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/21534/????…
    well, god is just tooo forgiving and also, i dont think they will, and anyway, it's for god to decide....
    As long as they truly believes in Allah all of them falls under the same category. If we say that in todays world they are all believers then my question is why are all of them not agreeable with each other?

    I have a tv that ONLY works with dvd or games for some reason the tv will not work any other way anyone know?

    so does any one know how to connect my dvd to the tv and watch tv like that changing the changes thru the dvd????
    I have a tv that ONLY works with dvd or games for some reason the tv will not work any other way anyone know?
    It sounds like it is stuck on an INPUT mode. try looking on ur remote/tv for an INPUT button, or try using the arrow keys on the front of the TV for channels, or check the menu on your tv. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out. You can always hook up an old VCR to change the channels if you can't figure it out, but you must be pretty dumb if that is the case
    I have a tv that ONLY works with dvd or games for some reason the tv will not work any other way anyone know?
    You can get TiVo. It goes through the same way DVD players and video games do. You can watch tv with it, record programs, or whatever you want.
