Most religions at some time have advocated murder.
This is not so with a religion like Islam. Their leader, Mohammad, was a killer from the beginning.

However OT God was very favourable of smiting his enemies.
(and Jesus supported the OT)

Originally posted by divegeesterThere is such a thing in Islam as temporary marriage, its like a contract for an unspecified duration. I am surprised though that its Saudi men who are engaging in it because they are Sunni, for as far as I understood it, it was predominantly a Shia phenomena. Its termed Muta and you'll find an interesting article here.
I was told by a Middle East colleague that Saudi men can marry for 24 hours, which facilitates one night stands.

Originally posted by RJHindsI would say, based on the response to Cain in the Bible, that murder is worse than robbing someone.
Maybe money is more important to Rajk999 than his head. 😀
Essentially the Middle East has become a refuge for "Cain-like" people.
Then again, here in the US they devour the unborn surpassing genocidal sociopaths like Hitler.
Shrug. Murder and genocide is just the human condition.
Not to worry FMF, none of them will see justice, at least in your little world in the time you have left. 😵
