Diogenes' dog
Well I can only answer that in Islam life or death is from God, so we generally do not pray to extend life, we pray to ease suffering; we do not, I'm afraid, hope for miracles. If a...

Other religions?
I am not familiar with the Bible or Torah, but in Hinduism, when Arjuna must fight his cousins against an injustice, and is reluctant to lift his bow, he is instructed that it is...
Valid question.
Three ways.
1. Force- by law or community
If it is not covered by law or community action is not possible for some reason, then
2. Agitation - by speaking out or writing
Same like TDI, I'm pretty sociable back home and even in the ME.
In the US I find myself stuck in the lab from morn to eve and then some.
Since everyone else is also in a similar boat, it...
Is that possible? I'm not a player, so I don't know; but I'm pretty sure it's legal. I'll have to ask Tendulkar.

The best thing I like about this forum is the ability to have a conversation with people who actually read (and I don't...

What do you mean, Ron?
edit: oh I get it. Well, I'm not planning to stand for elections anywhere so it hardly matters, does it?
Well, I like dogs too, so no argument.
On the contrary. Cats keep themselves clean and do not have to be chased with a rubber hose, they sense when you're troubled and come knead you with their paws. They sit on your chest while you're...
In other words, dogs are shamelessly exploited by man due to their weak gullible natures.
Cats refuse to be exploited and they are pets merely for the pleasure of their company. :)
One more thing that I missed. It is not killing that is permitted in self-defence, it is fighting.
Here are the relevant verses:
[5:87] O you who believe, do not prohibit good things that...
Every country that has an Army, Navy or Air-Force.
Islam is a social religion that covers politics, remember?
Seems like every country is following the rules laid down then.
Or are there no...
Why not just put "theist"? Equal opportunity and all that. Takes care of the whole detestable lot as far as you're concerned.
Its more insidious than you know; and the reasons are deeper and have to do with cuteness and affection.

I have news for you. It's happening on both sides of the Atlantic.

Americans are far more socially isolated...
