Taken from Guardian:
I am free. But my country is still a prisoner of war. There has been a lot of talk about the action and about the person who took it, and about the hero and the heroic act, and the symbol and the symbolic act. But, simply, I answer: what compelled me to act is the injustice that befell my people, and how the occupation wanted to humiliate my homeland by putting it under its boot.

Taken from BBC World News:
A report from an American think-tank has estimated 1.57 billion Muslims populate the world – with 60% in Asia.
The report, by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, took three years to compile, with census data from 232 countries and territories.
It showed that 20% of Muslims lived in the Middle East and North Africa.
The data also showed that there were more Muslims in Germany than in Lebanon, and more in Russia than in Jordan and Libya together.

When I first read this on BBC World News, I was disappointed and assumed that Al-Azhar has lost all its crediblity. However IslamOnline has clarified the story, below. Shame on BBC for leaving out key details of the story.

Taken from BBC World News:
In London’s historic “Inns of Court”, barristers practise law in the shadow of the distinctive medieval Temple Church. But does English law really owe a debt to Muslim law?
For some scholars, a historical connection to Islam is a “missing link” that explains why English common law is so different from classical Roman legal systems that hold sway across much of the rest of Europe.

I just thought this story of Elisha the prophet of God was interesting and thought I would share this for people who are confronted by Haters who try to say Muhammed “killed innocent people who did not want to follow Islam or mocked him” we have all heard the lies over and over so I shan’t regurgitate them here. Here the Prophet Elisha has 42 children torn apart for calling him bald and mocking him
So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake. And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.2 Kings 2:22-25 KJVR

I was reading through Islamic and non-islamic sites doing research as usual when I happened upon a youtube video. As I turned on the video I was met by the most insufferable of voices, This voice (if it be proper to call the vile shrieks a voice) attempted, without avail, to tell me that my God was a leg. He cited the following ayah from the Quran to prove this:
The Day that the shin shall be laid bare, and they shall be summoned to bow in adoration, but they shall not be able, Quran 68:42

Who are the Seven Gentile Prophets mentioned in the Talmud?
Posted by Abdullah under Articles from "Abdullah", Comp Religon1 Comment
There has been much intrigue after my article on the idea of non-Jewish prophets in the Bible. The Jews were quite open to the idea of prophets being sent to even non-Jewish nations as I have already demonstrated. But let us look and critically examine what we do know of these seven Gentile prophets that are explicitely mentioned by name in the Talmud (Baba Bathra 15b).

Do Jews and Christians really know their Prophets?

Another article from my dear friend ‘Abdullah’:
I find it truly amazing at times how people do not know their own religions beliefs yet feel fit to criticize the religious beliefs of others. Many times a person will attack a religion such as Islam for a trivial matter yet do not know that their religion may teach the same thing! The Bible is quite clear to Jews and Christians that a equal standard should be applied to all things, and that if one says that a certain practise make a religion false that same standard should be applied to their religion as well. Let us start off by looking at what the Bible says about the standards we use in the following verse:
