Extractions: The Ayatollah NOVEMBER 13, 2000 In the Islamic Republic of Iran, lesbians and gay men risk the death penalty. Sex-change surgery for transsexuals is legal, but the recommended year of transition is skipped, because until the surgery is complete, you are considered criminally homosexual. This puts tremendous pressure on transgendered people to have surgery, whether they want it or not. There is an additional cultural pressure in Iran because, like Argentina, it is a big fan of elective surgery. A few years ago, U.S.-trained doctors successfully pushed hysterectomies in Iran, according to New York Times correspondent Elaine Sciolino. "Now it's nose jobs and face-lifts," she adds. Perhaps sex changes, too. Of course, surgery does not guarantee safety. It's no walk in the park for women. Minorities, and anybody with a mind of their own are at risk. Iranian Jews have been the recent targets of specious espionage trials. Though a reform President was elected by a landslide in 1997, and there is a growing clamor for a more moderate Islam, in August and September of this year, the fundamentalists reasserted their power by shutting down the reformist press and persecuting journalists.

It is an act of obedience and submission to Allah's commands through the highest degree of commitment, sincerity and faithfulness to seek Allah's mercy, to atone for sins, errors, and mistakes and to avoid condemnation to Hell. It is done out of deep love for God, with a genuine virtue of devotion, honest dedication and closeness to Allah, for Fasting is for Allah and Him alone.

Extractions: I tried to be patriotic. I tried to believe. I watched those quarter mile high buildings fall through their jaw-dropping catastrophes over and over again. I listened to the announcer and the experts explain what had happened. And I worked at my pitiful lack of faith, pounding my skull with the remote control and staring at the flickering images on the TV screen. But poor mental peasant that I am, I could not escape the teachings of my forefathers. I fear I am trapped in my time, walled off from further scientific understanding by my inability to abandon the Second Millennium mindset. But enough of myself. Let us move on to the Science and Technology of the 21st Century. Those of you who cannot believe should learn the official truth by rote and perhaps you will be able to hide your ignorance.

Research resources on religious cults, sects, and alternative religions Islamand muslims. Islam and muslims An Apologetics Index research resource.
http://www.gospelcom.net/apologeticsindex/i07.html

Extractions: At the core of Islam is the Qur'an , believed to be the final revelation by a transcendent Allah [Arab.,=the God] to Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam; since the Divine Word was revealed in Arabic, this language is used in Islamic religious practice worldwide. Muslims believe in final reward and punishment, and the unity of the umma, the ''nation'' of Islam. Muslims submit to Allah through arkan ad-din, the five basic requirements or ''pillars'': shahadah, the affirmation that ''there is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God''; salah, the five daily ritual prayers [...]; zakat, the giving of alms, also known as a religious tax; Sawm, the dawn-to-sunset fast during the lunar month of Ramadan; and hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca. The importance of the hajj can hardly be overestimated: this great annual pilgrimage unites Islam and its believers from around the world. The ethos of Islam is in its attitude toward Allah: to His will Muslims submit; Him they praise and glorify; and in Him alone they hope. However, in popular or folk forms of Islam, Muslims ask intercession of the saints, prophets, and angels, while preserving the distinction between Creator and creature. Islam views the Message of Muhammad as the continuation and the fulfillment of a lineage of Prophecy that includes figures from the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament, notably Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and

BBC NEWS | World | South Asia | Q&A: The Ayodhya Dispute
A look at the background to the violent dispute between Hindus and muslims in the northern Indian town of Ayodhya.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/1843879.stm

Extractions: The demolition of a 16th century mosque by Hindu extremists 10 years ago in the northern Indian town of Ayodhya continues to be a source of intense friction between the Hindu and Muslim communities. BBC News Online answers key questions about the history of the site and the dispute. Why is the site so important to Hindus? Many believe that Ayodhya, in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, is the birthplace of one of the most revered deities in Hinduism, Lord Rama. Ayodhya is mentioned in several Hindu scriptures and has been a place of holy pilgrimage for centuries. Why is the dispute over Ayodhya so dangerous? Militant Hindus demolished the 16th-century Babri mosque in 1992, vowing to replace it with a Hindu temple to Rama. They say they were justified in destroying the mosque because there used to be a Hindu temple marking Rama's birthplace on that spot before. The mosque was torn down by supporters of the hardline Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP or World Hindu Council), the Shiv Sena party and then-opposition Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Extractions: 02:00 AM Sep. 13, 2001 PT As the volume of anti-Arab hate speech on the Internet cranked to full blast Wednesday, U.S. Muslims reported rampant harassment on- and offline. Although the U.S. government has yet to finger a perpetrator in Tuesday's attack, several lines of investigation point to the involvement of an Arab country. Now America's estimated 7 million Muslims are bracing for the backlash. "We've got reports from all over the country," said Joshua Salaam, the Civil Rights coordinator for the Council on American Islamic Relations , a nonprofit group dedicated to promoting a positive image of Muslims in America.

''We are an integral part of West Chester, of Cincinnati and of America. We are here to stay,'' Foad said Friday during the weekly prayer service at the Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati, a mosque in West Chester. Foad's slightly defiant tone was in response to the hostility that has been directed at Muslims in Cincinnati and around the country this week. Hijackers of suspected Middle East origins crashed commercial airliners into the World Trade Center towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, killing over 5,000 people.

Extractions: December 2001 version The tragic events of September 11, 2001 have focused the eyes of all the earth on the darker side of the world of Islam. Prior to these events, the most common question I have heard about Islam was: "Is the Muslim religion and Islam the same thing?", showing unawareness. Perhaps this web site will help dispel some of that ignorance. The varied Muslim reactions to this attack, from dancing in the streets, to disgust and embarrassment, have shown how fractured the Muslim world today is. Now a common question I hear asks, "Is Islam really a religion of peace?" and Muslim answers, in word and deed, seem very contradictory. Perhaps this web site will show about the original that Mohammed taught and practiced. If you are a Muslim you might question the need for such hope, if you have never explored the problems, contradictions, and ungodly teaching in Islam. This web page is for you. You might have heard of Muslim problems with the Bible and alleged contradictions. This web site answers the problems and contradictions.
