I want to know--what's a du'aa?
Is it a harmonizing sound, as in
Du'aa, be bop, shu'aa?
Or is it some meaningless gesture, as in "I don't give a du'aa?"
Real religion of peace.
Well, it could be, but I've always seen it spelled "Doo-Wop" ;-)
Oh, I'm sure Allah finds it very pleasing indeed. The murder, death, and destruction of innocents must bring a sweet smelling aroma before the throne of Allah. So why would anyone want to worship such a demonic idol?
Contrast with the Judeo-Christian Lord, the Spirit of whom brings, "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, and self control. Against such their is no law."
I'm all for supporting genuinely Moderate Muslims. (Those of you who contend they don't exist, click on the keyword for relevant articles I've indexed.) They need our help, and need to be defended from the Islamists. At the same time we must keep up the pressure on Muslims to embrace reform of Islam. We must constantly challenge the "comfort level" of the "silent majority". Neither Muslims, nor hand-wringing, PC liberals, can be permitted to continue pretending that radical Islam does not exist, and is not alive, well and active in the West as well as in the Middle East.
It's not that we think they don't exist. It's that we don't think they are really Muslims.
If you please. I keep harping on it, but for some reason people don't get it. "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for God, not a name. Arabic speaking Christians called God "Allah" for centuries before Muhammad.
This is not to say that Muslims are really worshipping God. Just as the English word "god" could mean some demon that people worship or whatever.
As part of National Military Appreciation Month, the Department of Defense is gathering signatures on a brief message thanking the men and women of the U.S. military for defending our freedom. The compiled list of names will be sent out to our soldiers at the end of the month. So far, there are only about 546,000 names. It is really easy. The web page brings up a space to type your name, city and state.
ROFL! "hmm... crunch crunch... no, not feeling like running to the neighbors' yet, honey. Gimme some more bacon."
