Hi, i want to express my opinion using some credible source.
In your respond, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
The answer actually it's not correct. Here let me explain. By studying the turats and contemporary books, we can tries to explore some of the misunderstandings about jihad. Then, those errors will be corrected by refering to the original opinion of the Muslim scholars, which in this paper refered to Ibn Qayyim al-Jawzi’s opinions. The results of the study showed that this misunderstanding lied on the meaning and concept of jihad. As understood by some people that jihad is a war in the path of Allah (fi sabilillah) only. In fact, the realm of jihad is very wide. Ibn Qayyim explained that jihad consists of 13 levels. These levels can be reduced to four parts, which one of them is fighting the infidels. Jihad against the infidels is not using the weapons. There are several steps that must be passed like mediation, etc, so that jihad to infidels can be done. Of this division is also seen that the jihad war is not the only solution used by Islam in upholding Allah’s name (kalimatullah).
Thank you for reading this, i hope this explain your question.
The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States , especially in the minority races.
Last month I attended a training. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who each explained their beliefs.
I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked:
'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, " Nonbelievers"
I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine The Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'
The Muslim was speechless.
I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:
Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'
You could have heard a pin drop.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the US. to elect the President.
I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference.

Peeling back the anxious thoughts is the toughest part, but it helps so much, especially when you write them down! Some of my favorite techniques:
1. What is the worse case scenario, and could you live with it?
2. What would you tell a friend going through this?
3. Will you remember this is in 5 years, or will you overcome it like you did with your past challenges?
I’ve been thinking about this little analogy for a bit, and it’s helped me reduce the weight a recent stressor has had on me. A manufacturing issue had been making me anxious this past few week, but when I stripped it down, it was just another blip that I’d deal with. I realized I had been adding all these layers of anxious thoughts onto something that I’d definitely overcome, even if the worst case happened. So I hope picturing your anxiety as an onion with a smaller, baby stressor inside can help you lighten the load of your anxieties!

“My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.”
i used to think English language is the best for poet. Man, I'm wrong. That's translated from Arabic's poet
They asked “do you love her to death?”
I said “speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life.”

Lihat orang-orang yang tersenyum itu. Di belakangnya bisa jadi ada segudang beban menumpuk. Namun mereka memilih tersenyum karena mereka tahu...
Mereka sudah tahu bahwa sedih terus itu menguras tenaga, mengeluhkan takdir membuat kaku tangan dan kaki untuk berkarya.
Mereka menangis sampai sesenggukan jika diperlukan. Mereka tersungkur sampai demam ketika lelah menampar badan. Tapi setelah itu mereka bangun lagi. Mereka hadir lagi.
Mereka tahu hidup itu bergelombang; setelah turun ia akan meninggi. Setelah tinggi pun ada masanya jatuh lagi.
Tapi mereka paham bahwa hidup adalah anugerah terbaik yang Allah berikan. Mereka kembali tersenyum karena tahu bahwa masa depannya ada di tangan Allah yang sempurna rencana-Nya.
Maka buat apa menangis terus, batin mereka. Buat apa mengeluh terus, itu tak mengubah apa-apa.

“I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.” Great line from Silence of the Lambs everyone knows. But most people don’t realise Dr Hannibal Lecter is making a medical joke. Lecter could be treated with drugs called monoamine oxidase inhibitors - MAOIs. As a psychiatrist, Lecter knows this. The three things you can’t eat with MAOIs? Liver, beans, wine. Lecter is a) cracking a joke for his own amusement, and b) saying he’s not taking his meds.
