"Those will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven .."

"And the servants of ((Allah)) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!"; *

 Those who spend the night in adoration of their Lord prostrate and standing; *

 Those who say, "Our Lord! avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous,-*
 
"Evil indeed is it as an abode, and as a place to rest in"; *

 Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes); *

 Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment. *

 (But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy,- *

 Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful, 
And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with an (acceptable) conversion;- *

 Those who witness no falsehood, and, if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honourable (avoidance); *

Those who, when they are admonished with the Signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind; *

And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous." *

Those are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy: therein shall they be met with salutations and peace, 
Dwelling therein;- how beautiful an abode and place of rest! * "
 
Qur'an, Surah 25. The Criterion, The Standard, verses 63:76

"...nor slay such life that Allah has made sacred except for just cause..."

"..except for just cause..."

See this is how Osama bin Laden and all the suicide bombers justify their actions.

Mohamed,

From The Ancient Written Words...

we find "wisdom of the ages" from Hebrew, then Christian, then from
the Qur'an. Wonderful thoughts, beautiful verses!

We Have Not One, but three major monotheistic religions.

>>

In Each Of Them, we have Two distinct divisions, (a) Leaders, and (b) Followers.
>>
Within Group A, we have Both Good & Evil Intentions. The "Good" Leaders Emphasize what is best for the progress and health of their people, through understanding Nature's Law. They encourage "righteousness" (or) Right-Use-Ness!

>>

The "Bad" Leadership cares less about Righteousness (!), but seeks only to Consolidate Power, Build an
"Expansionist Ideology". To be successful in that goal, he must Invade other lands occupied by people that Do Not Share His Infallible Truths!

These "Foreigners" Have A Different
Religious Viewpoint...How Dare They
Oppose The 'One True God'!

Kill All Those That Reject Our God,
My "Holy" Laws Governing Conduct!

>>

One Nation Produced a very wise man named Thomas Jefferson, and he wrote a Fundamental Law, that addressed this huge dilemma! It appears to have a "supremely workable merit"!

In Old Europe, and in Early America, the "Pious People" did terrible things to "Witches". They Cut Their Heads Off, and Burned Them At The Stake! In the states of
Missouri & Illinois, they murdered
L.D.S. (Mormons) for having a slightly different bible. Kill 'em!

>>

Now read Thomas Jefferson's First
Amendment:

"Congress Shall Make No Law,
Respecting The Establishment Of A Religion...
Nor Interferring With The Free Excersise Thereof"

>>

This Law...has served this new nation well for over 200 years.

We have Religious Schools, and we
have Non-Religious 'Public Schools', and 'We the People' have the Freedom to Choose...Without Fear.

TLGK,

When a criminal uses a stone to kill another human, is that the fault of the stone or the criminal?!!

Sure, it's the guilt of the criminal not the stone. A stone is made to build home or a factory not for killing.

So, my point is that when some kill by the name of Islam using Qur'an to justify their horrible crimes, then it's their fault not the fault of Qur'an.

****************************

Me.reb,

Another success for our conversation.

I support you that we have three right religions not only one. Judaism then Christianity and finally Islam. All have been revealed by the One true God to great prophets; Moses, Jesus and Muhammad who delivered the message to man.

I support you also that every thing has the good examples beside the bad examples. That's a rule of life. We must stand together against the bad sides. Not by wars, but be teaching and correcting wrong beliefs.

I'd like to tell you that you keep encouraging me to continue our fruitful discussion, and that I'm going to start my research in the Qur'an tomorrow if Allah helped me.

By the way, I hear in the news about floods, storms, dangerous thunderbolts and forest fires in US. I wonder if they're away or close to your home.

Best wishes to you,

Mohamed

Storms are borne in the Gulf of Mexico; every year they go North into Texas, then often split, one leg traveling directly East into the Gulf-border states, the other North into the nation's middle, then a sharp turn into the Ohio Valley, with violent rains & tornadoes! We see it every year on the Weather Channel. We are safe here in Eastern Half of Tennessee.

As a young boy, in Public School, I learned a little bit about U.S. History, and about a wonderful document called "The Preamble".

I put it there on my blog for Mohamed, but also for Americans that have never read those incredibly marvelous words. It saddens this old guy, when I see some youngsters today that believe the crazy stuff, promoted by Hollywood, and the adults that care more about Las Vegas, and Pro-Sports, and not enough about The Law that made this a Great
'Nation of Laws' in only 200 years!

You are a fine Law Student; read carefully these words. I'd appreciate an Opinion from Eygpt!

Mohamed,

Bad anology w/ th estone.

The verse you cited carves out an exception for killing. Killing is prohibited "except for just cause."

I am quite certain that you interpret this verse differently than the way Abu Musub al Zarqawi did but I am quite sure this was one verse he may have used to justify cutting th ehead off of an Ameriucan civilian on videotape.

Mohamed,

SADNESS IN TEXAS, but it probably didn't make the Cairo News.

A muslim cab-driver shot and killed his two teen-age daughters in the back-seat of his taxi. It was recognized as another "Honor Killing" here, and full details are available on any major U.S. newspaper publication/internet.

Although not permitted specifically by the Qur'an, it's known to be common-place in the Middle East, and the criminal is rarely punished in Muslim Nations.
Is that true?

"Cultural Differences" are often difficult to accept; Americans find it horrendous!

Mohamed: I don't know any of these people. Is there really this much 'freedom to speak' in the Middle-East?

Are these men in real danger? Or,
is this just clever political hate propanganda? Hate Propaganda is LEGAL in the U.S.A. (Sad)

>>

Do you ever here about a U.S. man named George Soros, in Egyptian Newspapers? He's a billionaire, and he hates Everything American.

He's 78 years old, and "Our Greatest Political Liar"! Some religious people think he is 666; others say he is just Evil, and hope he will die soon.

I think he is a mental case, infected with Too Much Power, too much Hate, and needs a rubber room, and medication. reb

Mohamed,

Snake Hunters believes that George Soros is the boogey man and greatly exagerrates his influence.

Meanwhile, how good is your access to recent books printed in English?

I am in the middle of a recently published one that contains some very cogent descriptions of socio-econominc-political conditions in the Mid East countries. If your access is good, I will give you the title of the book.

If not, I can pass along spome of the author's analysis.

Congratulations to your brother.

Regards.

Mohamed Has A Choice Between "Loop Garoo", and...
A Snake-Hunting reb!

Freedom Of Choice Is An American Tradition...

Mohamed Will Choose Which One Has Integrity, and which one speaks with a Forked Tongue!

Mr.reb,

Do you know what this situation reminds me of?!! I mean the situation that you and TLGK have different views of this Soros!!

It reminds me of the different views of Westerns towards Islamic religion. Much are against and others are with, but they can settle this propblem so easily by going back to trusted neutral references to have information.

Any way, I can't judge any body without knowing about him. I searched for information about him and that's what I got;
He's of Hungarian with Jewish origins, he is a billionaire, he is a democratic who supports Obama(that's may be the reason why you don't like him).

About your question about that guy who killed his two daughters as a 'honor killing'. Sharia don't allow Muslims to take their rights by themselves, but instead the state itself must take the right to him.

See you soon,

Your friend,
Mohamed

Thank you, mohamed.

Regarding George Soros. In 2004,
Uncle Georgie Soros spent 27 Million Dollars endorsing Sen John Kerry for president; Kerry lost, President Bush Won; Soros was sick!

Mentally Sick! A Rich Koo-Koo, a Daffy Duck! A Monster, with Money!

On Nov 9, 2004, Soros Chief Executive Officer Eli Pariser (CEO) eMailed a friend "We bought it, we own it, it's ours!". He was referring to the Democratic Party (my old political party).

Soros Hates Bush, spent 100 million since 9/11 to get half our nation to hate Bush, "Impeach Bush", "Bush failed policy" blah! blah! blah! blah! (Tell a lie often, it becomes 'Truth'. Hah!

On February 1st, 2008, George Soros Endorsed Endorsed Barach H. Obama, a smooth-talking, smart, nice-appearing Chicago Politician, and All the Big Names in that party fell in line (also quickly endorsed Obama).

Obama spends TWICE the money that McCain does on TV ADS...Millions!

Hollywood Air-heads for Obama, Most News Reporters for Obama, etc

It Is Sickening...for this old man.

I love this nation, (like mohamed loves Egypt) I am proud of our fair laws, our freedom to speak truth; freedom of religion for all people, freedom to peacefully assemble, freedom of the press, and Television.

Soros BUYS Political Influence, everywhere! He's a "King-Maker"!
Most Americans don't know his name!

Watch the Democratic Convention this month; watch Pelosi & Reid...
Soros has them "in his pocket"; that evil 78 yr old man!!!

We often argue, but Ask Loop Garoo if I am A LIAR! Ask Loop Garoo if I speak from my heart, and will always tell you the truth (as I see it). reb

One More Legal Consideration:

Popular Young Senator Obama Is A Great Mystery To Most Americans.

All we really know is what we see on Tv.

Questions Remain: Since his father & step-father were both Muslim, and he had early training in that faith, is he masquerading as a 'Christian' for Political Purposes?

Under Sharia Law, if a male converts to another religion, he may be found to be APOSTATE...and a Fatwah Declared, demanding the Death Penalty!

Check The Law On Apostasy! reb
