    Why aren't you rioting, looting and shopping? Isn't that the British way?

    AbuSina , I was first introduced to Karen Armstrong's books when a dear friend sent me a copy of "A History of Jerusalem " - One City Three Faiths ". I've been a fan of hers ever since.

    Thank you for the Riz Khan interview .

    Lovely

    never heard of her before till I saw her on that Life of Mohammed series

    She is like a twin of a British woman who lives near me. Looks and talks exactly the same as her. Same accent. They could be sisters!:mrgreen:

    Next time I am in Attaba I will look out for her name in the books.

    Thanks for making this thread by the way!
    I would never have known about the series, or her if you didn't make the thread :sun:

    So true beleiving christians should condone and participate in slavery, stone women for adultery, offer animal sacrifices, etc.etc. Can one have it both ways and still be wrong?

    I'm an atheist. I just don't care except as a matter of intellectual curiosity.

    God is gentle and loves gentleness

    All God's creatures are His family; and he or she is the most beloved of God who tries to do most good to God's creatures.


    What actions are most excellent? To gladden the heart of a human being, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted, to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful, and to remove the wrongs of the injured.

    Inscribed on the hilt of the Prophet's sword: 'Forgive him who wrongs you; join him who cuts you off; do good to him who does evil to you, and speak the truth although it be against yourself.'

    It is unworthy of a Mu'min [a person with faith] to injure people's reputations; and it is unworthy to curse any one; and it is unworthy to abuse any one; and it is unworthy of a Mu'min to talk arrogantly.

    Someone said to the Prophet, 'Pray to God against the idolators and curse them.' The Prophet replied, 'I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse.' Prophet Muhammed pbuh

    For a Brit, you seem to understand the english language as well as a 3rd grader.
