Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Hello,

Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.com) is a huge community maintain encyclopedia on a vast range of topics. The Dawoodi-Bohra section at present is a bit sparse and could do with further additions. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawoodi_Bohras) As wikipedia ranks fairly high in google ...

If you are going to go that far back you can pretty much justify anything.

e.g., The jews and Xians have hated each other for pretty much whole of their history, therefore, Israel must not be supported by predominantly Xian nations.

Also, while your second paragraph is essentially correct, it ...

This is the kind of simplistic thinking at the level of a 3-year old that seems to keep the Muslims bogged down. At the beginning of the 20th century the Middle East wasn't a particulrly important region for the world at all. Even after oil was discovered it wasn't that important until the 1973 oil ...

You are a 100% wrong. Muslims should always be ready with their pants down and their legs spread wide apart like Muddai, Average Bohra and nausicaa for Bush and Sharon to enter easily.
If we do not do that, then they will have to rape us and we will have to apologize to them for having made them ...

Well, I have other things to do besides arguing with hopeless causes such as yourself. Anyway, continuing on my futile course, here are some links about mainly Islamic countries (especially notice the lack of action from any authorities regarding these activities)

Anajmi,

You seem to be afflicted with the problem of twisting words and false dichotomization. Firstly, hijab and bikini aren't the only two choices available to women. If your brain can handle more than a single bit of information you should be able to understand this. Secondly, I wasn't saying ...

Do you even know what Hijab does for a women. Have you ever heard of a women in a Hijab getting raped? Have you heard of a women in a bikini getting raped? Have you ever heard of a famous Muslim women in Hijab being stalked? Have you ever heard of a famous model being stalked?
Ever heard of the ...

Why a nun can be covered from head to toe and she's respected for devoting herself to God, but then a Muslim woman does that, she's considered "oppressed"? This one is easy to answer. Because when a Christian woman chooses not to be covered she does not run the risk of being whipped, have acid ...

Pigs get trichinosis, but only if they're kept improperly. Getting infested with trichina worms will make you unhappy for part of the year.

The kosher and halal meat animals get anthrax, but pigs don't. Anthrax will kill you. And it's in the soil all over the planet, and all the animal has to do ...

Asif, check you pvt messages.

Admin: Could there be some way to let a person know there is a pvt message waiting for them?

Ahh..I remember you . Gymnastics. I was in H3 in my first year. How are you doing? Fancy running into you here.

Mainstream music has very little to do with expressing social concerns and a lot more to do with making what sells. Occasionally of course social concerns sell and so you have rappers talking about police brutality and stuff. Of course, given that a major target of the music companies happens to be ...

Sooner or later everyone dies, dude. Get over it.

I took one course at IIT, Mumbai under her. She was a pretty cool prof who seemed to think that everything American was great while everything Eastern was contemptible. Not that I minded that since I agreed with her to quite some extent and I got a AA there :) . Professor Major (br of syed ...

Why are religious people so interested in who is sleeping with whom? Is it to compensate for their own guilt at being sexual creatures? As long as two gays are not troubling you why not just leave them to their own devices.

A functional definition of theism is that there is a transcendent ...

Some period of depression and grief is normal after the death of a close relative, a person needs time to process the grief. What you can do is be there for him, let him know that there are others who he can depend on at this time of loss in his life. If you knew his father for long you could ...

I hope so too Muddai, but I don't think this will happen. Unless there is extended US presence and control, I foresee a theocracy in the region.

Anajmi,

If you think God is so childish that he will throw a tantrum if you don't exactly go by what he says then what is the guarantee that he won't change his mind and still throw a tantrum even if you do go by his vaguely established rules.

Just saying that all muslims are one doesn't make it so. There are sects within Islam and you'll have to deal with that.

What's so surprising about this? The Bible has always been far more repressive about women than the Quran. Hell, the biblical Eve is literally the root of all evil in the story of Genesis.

The above, of course, does not mean that the Quran is the most ideal thing for women since double ended ...

If and when man evolved, did a woman also evolve with him? Did evolution bring about just one man and one woman in the beginning or were there many men and many women? Of course, man and woman evolved together. Men and women are part of the same species and evolution, in general, talks about ...

Anajmi,

Did you bother reading any of the links that I posted? Evolution does not say human beings evolved from apes, it says apes and human beings evolved from a common ancestor.

One question that was raised by the entropy links, if anyone knows the answer - if one assumes that an evolving biological unit is a subsystem of a larger unit (whatever that larger unit is), then as it increases in order (i.e. the random mutations take on meaningful functions), what subsystem ...

The cry for uniform civil code is just a smokescreen for saying muslims are pampered. All religions have their own civil codes in India. If tomorrow a uniform civil code is applied, the VHP will just find something else to beat the muslims with.

And I thought both of you believed evolution was a lie.

Anyways, addressing the first line, it is pretty stupid to expect the peron you are arguing with to come onto your side. It happens, but extremely rarely. What you do achieve by argument in a public forum is pull people on the fence to your ...

There isn't much difference between Allah and the other Gods of other people except that Allah is a bit overloaded since he is all powerful while a lot of other religions have some sort of power sharing between different Gods.

We are not created in his image, he is created in our image.

Please read my message again, humans are compelled into forming of systems like Marxism and Capitalism in order to bring about a system in which one can forefill their needs. But these systems fail us, the news is repleet with evidence for ...

You've got things muddled up. Marxism and capitalism are economic systems having nothing to do with religion. Anarchy is just absence of a system. And you forgot about the wonderful things like cutting hands for theft, stoning people to death, whipping women for not wearing the right clothes ...
