  1. First of all, darman, what possessed you to start such a topic?
  2. Where does Islam being have your religion stated in the Koran? Second of all, is that article aimed towards males? or both sexes? Third, I think that everyone can control their sexual urges.
  3. As a woman who previously wore hijab before, I don't think any of the reasons you gave are the reasons why I don't wear it now. I don't think there is anything holding me back necessarily. I just think that some people base a woman's faith by the hijab she wears on her head, and I don't think that is right. I think that people symbolize respect with the hijab, as if to say someone who doesn't wear the hijab is not respected. You should still demand respect regardless of a scarf on your head and should not let men get away with it. There are many women out their with more spirituality than those who observe the technicalities of the religion, like the hijab. Then again, that is just my personal opinion!
  4. I'm not a law student (or not yet) but in any case, I do have one issue with the U.S. Constitution. Many people celebrate the constitution as if its the bible...but as a black person in America, I think the history of the constitution is quite f***** considering the fact that at the time it was established, slavery was still ongoing. Anyone else feel that way?

  6. This is a statement Oprah made on her show: "So I want to just set the record straight once and for all. The rumor claims that clothing designer Tommy Hilfiger came on this show and made racist remarks, and that I then kicked him out. I just want to say that is not true because it just never happened. "Tommy Hilfiger has never appeared on this show. READ MY LIPS, TOMMY HILFIGER HAS NEVER APPEARED ON THIS SHOW. And all of [the] people who claim that they saw it, they heard it -- it never happened. I've never even met Tommy Hilfiger." Taped live on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" January 11, 1999
  7. I heard Timberland (the shoes all black cant live without) was also the president of the KKK.. I could be wrong thou. Confirmation?
  8. Ok, Pet Peeve time: Why is it that all the threads in the women section is about love/relationship/marriage? Why aren't there serious topics relating to women's issue posted other than love (which could be discussed in the general area as it does not pertain to women alone)? Does anyone else have a problem with this or is it just me? **feedback please, postive or negative**
  9. This is what I think. There are people nowadays that are very observant on the technical part of the deen but not that spiritual aspect. I personally wouldnt not marry someone who will be an "enforcer", if you know what I mean. I don't need another father :rolleyes:
  10. Let me see, First I thought what letter my name should start with ...I chose O...then I thought what should the next letter be..then I had an apiphany..a P..then I thought about the next..e.t.c....and before I knew it..I had my nickname.. coincidence, eh?! :confused:
  11. even the lebonese are complaining about us..what's this world coming to! *lol*
  12. lol I saw something a long long time ago I'd rather forget! Do you guys ever feel like sometimes you are not alone. I was chilling at home saturday watching a movie...and I could swear I kept hearing noises all over the house and the strangest feeling that I wasn't alone....Thankfully, I was watching a really good movie!
  13. Who cares about other people's sexual preferences?
  14. Water Lillies, Ramadan is about controlling YOURSELF from the things you are discussing ^ there....not censoring other people. If you don't want to read a certain topic because people are at it...just leave and go to another ramadan-friendly thread. one
  15. I think we should be more concerned about those people who are waging war in the name of our God. They are the ones doing the car bombing killing innocent people.
  16. Khayr, Lunar eclipses happen....even in the month of ramadan..I hardly doubt that is a sign. Besides, isn't believing in superstition haram?
  17. Raxmah, I've heard about the story on fox news the other day..Ilahi ha unaxaristo those girls.. I'm surprised that this could all have been prevented if they just put those stop lights when the mosque requested one.. Inshallah, God will take care of them..
  18. Only movie-lovers can appreciate the artistry of this movie. Oh all those severed limbs :eek: I like action movies but dang, I didn't want to see blood spraying left, right and center!
  19. What kind of thread is this? Did we honestly run out of good topics?
  20. Originally posted by Qac Qaac: no sister, if the husband wants to marry another wife, he doesn't have to ask his wife, that is what our religion telling us. coz think about it, all u girls here if u guys were the first wifes u will all say no to the 2nd wife. so why should man ask u guys, when he already knows your answer it will be NO. THAT IS WHY ISLAM SAYS IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ASK YOUR FIRST WIFE'S PERMISSION. A likely story qac qaac. You do know there are many stipulations to marrying a second wife that majority ...I mean a huge majority of men can not fullfill. Do not twist the language of the religion because we all know that the first wife has to AGREE...otherwise, give her a divorce. In this country..it is next to impossible to marry 2 wives for economic reasons (unless of course you are a millionare)... peace
