World Bank `Destroyed Basic Grains' in Honduras
Bloomberg.com: Special Report
my friend , if someone has looked at me and raped me (IN THEIR MIND ONLY< NOT ACTUALLY) then that is their business. I cannot control what others think. You might think that this is a bit niave. Lustful thoughts are just that, lustful and thoughts, not necessarily actions. i have lustful thoughts regularly but I dont action them. most people dont. its called self control .
I mean the free will choice of said faith... I am happy to be where I am, and I am more than happy to tell others of my faith... Sweet.... That to me is the true way live by example...... But to force your faith upon another or be blind to the fact that perhaps others may see it in a totally different light, a different way is the wrong way to roll. Demand by example....... So let's all try and live by example.... It takes everyone time brother.... Look at it like this...
Say there is a woman that is coming to Islam, but doesn't wear a hijab.... What do you see in that statement?
You read the statement? I bet you focused on the minor hijab fact? Not the fact that this woman is wanting to learn a way of peace.....? Make sense?
You are right that a muslim should lead by example, but what does Qu'ran says about it also, one thing which Allah SWT made compulsory and Fardh for every Muslim Woman then it is fardh otherwise she is committing a sin. Now i can't go and enforce her to wear hijab, yes that is rightl. Now if we talk about Complete Islamic state then i will have to say that it Islamic State have a right to enforce a women to when she comes out on roads or open she should wear a hijab, Its in Islamic Shariah is brother, so if we implemented it is also implemented, but i also know their is no place right now in this world which have islamic shariah completely on a state. So now who can compel her, Islam says her brother, sister, her mother, father, son , daughter and husband. And every person told above have different limitations how far they can go to compel, this does not mean that you pick up a stick and start beating her but by look you can say that i will not give you pocket money and things liked that okay brother, adn one more thing brother, this not one way both ways it is that if her husband is not doing something islam have said it fardh she can also em force him to do that , i will not like to tell all the ways it will be not nice but you know how can his wife can do so.I mean the free will choice of said faith... I am happy to be where I am, and I am more than happy to tell others of my faith... Sweet.... That to me is the true way live by example...... But to force your faith upon another or be blind to the fact that perhaps others may see it in a totally different light, a different way is the wrong way to roll. Demand by example....... So let's all try and live by example.... It takes everyone time brother.... Look at it like this...
She is most welcomed. I don't know if you are Muslim or not if you are then brother you know you can not become Muslim by just saying the kalima and say look im Muslim no brother a Muslim is who who submits his or her will to Allah SWT and by heart she believes that i will have to obey what ever Allah SWT have made compulsory for me to do. So Allah SWT have made it comulsory in surah Ahzab in QU'ran Brother, if she doubts any single verse in the Qu'ran she Doubts Naouzbillah Allah SWT ultimately. Now second step if she thinks okay im Muslim and still do not wear hijab and she agrees that she is committing sin then what ever i said above to you in reply to your first para that implies on her. If she says no it is not Fardh then she is not a Muslim why because she Doubts in Qu'ran and then in What i told you.Say there is a woman that is coming to Islam, but doesn't wear a hijab.... What do you see in that statement?
Now brother look i do not know what we will answer to Allah SWT at the Day of Judgment that we did not wear Hijab cuz i had a free will of choice, if this answer is a good one then i have nothing to say. Now coming to other thing look brother when you go in army you are said to wear a particular uniform if you don't we will be kicked out if you say them i have free will to wear what ever i wear they will say good bye to you for money we can sacrifice our will of choice but for Allah SWT we can't sacrifice our will that what dress code my Allah gave to me i will wear. That will become choice ? thats funny for money wow. Now army is more harsh you will have to wear particular color but what is free will i tell you look islams look what ever you what ever a Muslim woman can wear but look you can go this much far not beyond it. You can wear which ever color which ever type of print which ever type of clothes but it should be in accord to limits prescribed about it in Islam. One thing more Islam only says that you should be dressed liked that in only when you come infront of a strange man, otherwise you are free that hijab also. strange man means people other then father , son, brother and Husband. If their is no man then she can wear what ever in front woman.You read the statement? I bet you focused on the minor hijab fact? Not the fact that this woman is wanting to learn a way of peace.....? Make sense?
OOOh im so foolish na that i dun't live their and talking about USA wow thats bad na.....But you are also not american sir???? You have a big ocean apart from you each other. How do you come to know that their are so-called terrorists in afghanistan, iraq or Pakistan? isnt that unusual i live their their is non i say so you dun't so you have to believe me.....Well that is what you say. But why should I agree with you? Do you live in the U.S.? Do you live in a Western country? I may not live in the U.S., but I do live in a Western country. I know what it's like to live in one.
To me it makes sense. I don't hear stories about people getting raped when I am eavesdropping on their conversations and gossip. If there was enough rape happening, I would hear about it from at least somewhere. Sooner or later I'd hear the word "rape" mentioned among the people I see around me. I'd listen, tune in and eavesdrop on their conversation and think, this is not good. I will think, this should not be happening in my country, in my neighbourhood. But I rarely hear about it.
What I was saying was that, even if a woman was raped every 32 seconds, it would only have been enough to affect only 1% of the population. That is the case whether or not a woman is raped once or multiple times in a year. According to the mathematics, the time interval you specified (32 seconds) is not small enough to make it a problem that affects 99% of the population in a year. I have to say then, that rape is very uncommon in the U.S. So 99% of the female population doesn't need your religious teachings because they are not being raped. According to the mathematics, you'd be wrong to say that most of them are like that. No, most of them are not like that.
I can understand you like saying that most of them are like that, but even if you believed that, do you live in a Western country, let alone the U.S.? If not, how could you possibly know? Where do you get this information about the society in which I live? Do you get it from your religious leaders? Do you get it from the newspaper and television? Do you get it from your family and friends?
Are your sources reliable enough to say that most of them are like that? And....I have already shown how, based on your statement that a woman was raped every 32 seconds, it would only affect 1% of the women in the population. So even the information you have stated implies that only 1% of the women are being raped in a year.
You can't trust your religious leaders, because most of them have either never been to the U.S. or other Western countries, and even if they did, never really interacted enough with the general population to know them well enough to have accurate perceptions about them. They mingle with Muslims in that country, but not the general population. Religious leaders of Abrahamic traditions, particularly those of Islam and Christianity, often cook up wild, outrageous, sensationalist stories about how the rest, the so-called "heathen population" is behaving. But whatever corrupt mindset they think the "heathen" possess, most of it is untrue. These religious leaders want to make your/our religion look good, so they brag about how your/our religion's teachings have helped us become better people. But most of it is propaganda and sensationalism. So you can't trust your religious leaders when they say the U.S. is the rape capital of the world. They are deceiving you, even though they might think that they are telling you the truth. They want you to think that so that you think that that is the reason why you will continue to adhere to whatever tradition it is you follow. That's because they actually believe that stuff themselves.
So what if you got it from a newspaper? Well, then we ask the journalist who wrote the article. Do they live in the U.S.? Same argument as before. It's just propaganda and sensationalism. The journalist doesn't really know the American people. So what if you got it from your family and friends? Same argument again. They never went to the U.S.
So when people say most of them are like that they are talking about beliefs that they got that came from unreliable sources. They say that because they want to believe that. They are talking about a people they never knew. A lot of Muslims and Christians want to believe that the so-called "heathen" are romping away their lives in lustful orgies. But if you actually visit that country, that society, that culture, that community, you will find that it just doesn't happen. They may not follow your/our religious traditions but very often the society and culture itself has its own values and teachings and these values and teachings train people how to behave. But you wouldn't know that because you haven't actually lived long enough in the U.S. to really know what values people have over there.
I believe there are much better reasons to follow a tradition than talking about how often people are raped, particularly if you live in a society where rape only happens to less than 1% of the population, based on the information that you have given!!!
I will deal this with you if you tell me your religion or you are atheist ???People are not always taught right and wrong by religion. Very often, they already know what is right and wrong because their parents, friends, the news or society as a whole tells them it's wrong. People see rape as wrong. They see adultery as wrong. They see lying as wrong. They see murder as wrong. They see all these things as wrong because the people around them hate it. Apart from labelling these things as wrong, society often teaches people other things to discourage bad behaviour. So no, religious teachings are not always necessary for good behaviour. I say that even though I have a religious background and religious beliefs.
i know when you do not have answers this happens never mind.I didn't mention your other points. This doesn't mean I agreed with them. Maybe I just thought they were unimportant or just didn't care about them.
I agree that saying rape is wrong isn't good enough. But a society or culture often has values, teachings and traditions that discourage rape. You don't need values or teachings that are divine or religious to discourage rape. I can formulate a philosophy for discouraging people from raping. If people like that philosophy, and if I know how to shape society to reduce the rate of rape, the rate at which crimes happen, then the rate of at which crime and rape happens will decrease. Western societies achieve this by giving people jobs, careers, computers, playstations, television, movies, candy, tasty food and other toys to play with and enjoy so that they have better things to think and dream about than raping women, stealing, murdering and robbing banks.
That's right. You don't always have to give people a religion to get them to behave. Sometimes all you need is some toys and candy for them to enjoy. If people have more toys to play with and more candy to eat, the crime rate will drop. This is the toys and candy society.

Your Welcome,
Yeah offcourse i do not know about Buddhism much, so i would not have a DIALOGUE on that, but as i do not know much i just want to like to ask that how it practically teaches about the brotherhood and things i said.
Secondly,
Western culture you talk about i would not have said about it much but as you have pointed about western culture, i ask you simple question, their is no respect for a women!! you will ask how i said that i will answer look brother you would say that they respect because we make them independence okay. what independence of a woman give them??? To be a one who would only as ------ element only for man to use for their needs, you may know what needs they need? i would not point out again, i tell you that, in a report this is not im saying this is from the American agency and it is old report, that in every 32 seconds a woman is raped, this is what we say is respect? no Islam may says that a woman should not work openly, if its neccessry she should be in Hijab or Islamic Shiriah, it give respect a hijab gives respect, and nothing else, i ask you agian from an example if their is two sister both twins okay they are extremely beautiful equally, one is in western clothes like mini skirts, or some thing like that and other is in Islamic Hijab, fully covered in head to bottom tell me if they were walking on the road and in the road side some gang of the people would be standing tell me to whom they will look with bad view bad intentions a sister covered in the Hijab or other in western mini skirts? you know the answer.
I say that this wasn't said so that every non-Muslim is bad or any religion teaches that i know every religion including Islam teaches peace and love and teaches good things, thing is Terrorism is not an monopoly of any religion including non-Islamic religion but the people are wrong, but why this tag is attached with on Islam to Muslims that is the thing.
