Discuss the icons that you love best!| Do you support war or Peace? | | I think both are necessary. Look at the last 3200 or so years, only about 50-100 of those years have been total PEACE years--where there has been no wars, no battles etc. Peace is obviously desirable as in we feel safe, but there are always going to be people who want to fight, whether it be against the government, a leader, another nation.... | |
| | War and Peace — and Deceit — in Islam (Part 1) | | A friend forwarded this very thought provoking article and I thought I would share with you all...over the years I've been repeatedly told that I don't "understand Islam" that terrorists and the west are misconstruing the Quran and Hadith and therefore giving Muslims a bad name. But one particular paragraph in the following article really stood out for me, because of all the world's religions, Islam is by far the least ambiguous. Every aspect of a Muslim's life is controlled by the Quran and the Hadith and therefore there can be little to misunderstand.http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/war-and-peace-%E2%80%94-and-deceit-%E2%80%94-in-islam-part-1/[i]one must first appreciate the thoroughly legalistic nature of mainstream (Sunni) Islam. Amazingly, for all the talk that Islam is constantly being “misunderstood” or “misinterpreted” by “radicals,” the fact is, as opposed to most other religions, Islam is a clearly defined faith admitting of no ambiguity: indeed, according to Sharia (i.e., “Islam’s way of life,” more commonly translated as “Islamic law”) every conceivable human act is categorized as being either forbidden, discouraged, permissible, recommended, or obligatory.... | |
| | When did you read War and Peace? | | Did you have to read it for school, or just because you wanted to? I read it in eighth grade. I was looking for something new to read in the library, and picked it up because it had many pages in it, and I figured it would take a while to read. I usually read pretty quickly, but this one took me weeks to finish. I enjoyed most of it except for when they were actually fighting. How long did it take you to finish? | |
| | Do you believe in War or Peace? | | No this is not the title of leo tolstoy's 'war and Peace', but a question genuinely framed from my concerned mind .Yes Iknow therecan be a 1001 reasons behind War.This justifications are not only glorified by the political leaders or statesman of our times but also some common people support war above peace furthering logical reasons related to globalisation and terrorism.I believe these terrorists have avery biased mentality wo doenot understand the language of love and humanity...they donot understand the basic concepts of peace and development.But rather than war which involves bloodshed and loss of innocent lives can't we sought for some alternatives which fall in between?Your thoughtful response in this issue will be most welcome as this is one of the prime concerns of today.ligions, Islam is a clearly defined faith admitting of no ambiguity: indeed, according to Sharia (i.e., “Islam’s way of life,” more commonly translated as “Islamic law”) every conceivable human act is categorized as being either forbidden, discouraged, permissible, recommended, or obligatory. “Common sense” or... | |

| | | War or Peace? | | I have just finished reading a "unique book by a unique woman." (Library Journal) The book was written by Peace Pilgrim: HER LIFE AND WORK IN HER OWN WORDS. It's very interesting, try to get hold of a copy.Here are a number of quotes in that book:General Omar Bradley: "Wars can be prevented just as surely as they can be provoked, and we who fail to prevent them must share in the guilt for the dead."General Douglas MacArthur: "I have known war as few men now living know it. Its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes."Pope John XXIII: "If civil authorities legislate for or allow anything that is contrary to the will of God, neither the laws made nor the authorizations granted can be binding on the consciences of the citizens, since God has more right to be obeyed than men."Dwight D. Eisenhower: "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who are hungry and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."John F. Kennedy: "Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind... War will exist until... | |
