?Muslims against Sharia? ?
2007-10-09 22:53:00 “Muslim s against Sharia” What the…!? At first glance these guys look dubious. You know, one of those moderately clever Diet Muslims who put up an “organization” or blog to win a few PR battles in the war of taking back Islam ’s image from Islamists. That is, I suspect they don’t have an adequately developed theology to back ... More About: Moslem , Koran , Quran

Does Abstinence Only Sex Ed. work?
2007-09-28 20:35:00 An interesting article in the Economist recently caught my eye. The writer asks-: THERE can be no surer way of averting a sexually transmitted infection such as AIDS than avoiding sex. That much is obvious.

Ramazan: The dreaded month for closet apostates!
2007-09-21 22:00:00 Ramazan is the holy month of Islam during which Muslims keep fasts. This is supplemented by an increase in other religious activity such as regular prayer and recitation of the Koran. For closet apostates this is quite problematic. In order to keep their apostasy a secret and deflect awkward questions they have to pretend to do the same. As one Towelian Haris relates-: I ...

Will Europe never learn from its past?

Why the atheist is the hero, and the theist is not

The problem with ?creation? argument?
2007-09-10 22:52:00 I haven’t really rolled up my sleeves against Christian creationists, but I have dealt with Muslims who argue about “god’s necessary involvement in bringing about existence”. I have to commend Muslim theologians for having a way more respectable argument than the creationist (with which I am generally familiar).

Because it is about our own self interest isn?t it, to get that place in heaven, or feel sustained by some Higher Power.
