Roman Catholics are not allowed to state or believe that someone, believer or non-believer, is or will be in hell. That decision is Gods not ours.

Ah, fair enough. Replace 'strict' by 'some' (maybe this is more of a Protestant belief).

Islam just helps the nonbelievers to hell a wee bit faster, is all :-).

The beautiful religion of Islam has always viewed animals as a special part of God's creation. The Qur'an, the Hadith, and the history of Islamic civilization offer many examples of kindness, mercy, and compassion for animals.

Thanks to Westernized factory-farming methods that are used in many parts of the world, animals suffer ...[text shortened]... The intensive production of animals for food is also extremely damaging to the environment.

I agree with everything u said. Now see how this reads....

Considering that entire Non-Muslim societies are being held hostage by capitalism (Singapore, Taiwon, South Korea), I think you're the one who's being a little unfair. At this stage in history, our society needs a fearless and blunt self-evaluation of how its tenets apply to other cultures. Because, for the most part, large parts of our society, thrive on hatred of Muslims, any values other than capitalism, and just about everything that contradicts its doctrines and tenets.

Considering the current state of affairs, I think its hard to argue that capitalism is a "voice of freedom" when so many occurences tell a much different story.


I agree with everything i said too, funny that 😴¬~
