I am a Muslim but not very proud of strict Saudi laws regarding the practice of religion. However, at the same time very disturbed by the recent Swiss move to ban the Azzan.
I respect every religion and know that Church rings bell before the prayer. Should Muslim countries ban
the ringing of church bell? The answer should be absolutely no. Same thing swiss government should do and withdraw the referendum in a mark of respect to the religion of Islam and keep peace and harmony among all religions.

I strongly apologize for my error, my article being directed to a certain Mr. "bib salsal" & not Mr. "dismanirie".
Please do accept my apologies Mr. "dismanirie"
If my article is still under scrutiny, I pray the names to be amended as above if possible or otherwise publish this apology as well

If that "respecxtable" gentleman who calls himself "dismanirie" knew anything about Islam as he's supposed to, beink himself a Moslem I suppose, he should be aware that all non-Muslims should not be called "kafirs" which litterally means "blasphemators"; may I remind him that God's true religion descended upon humanity way before Islam & even the prophet Mohamed calls the Christians & Jews brethren in the belief of God; furthermore, a person is judged solely by his deeds & his behavior not by his display (sometimes oh so hypocritical) of devotion; it is clearly said "you have your religion, they have theirs"... Mr. dismanirie should know all that I presume.
As for Mr. dismanierie's allegations of liberty of religious beleif & practice in Saudi Arabia, I've been there & I've seen what it's all about so there's no point in throwing away lies no reasonable person would even pretend to beleive.

To: M.Hasan Nasir
And it is getting even tougher for Christians too. Just last month, a Christian was arrested by Egyptian Security for praying at home.
It is really time for the whole world to keep an open mind and respect each others religion.

U All Muslims just remember.
It has already been said by our Prophet Muhammad thousand of years ago that,
as the day of judgment comes nearer, it will become tougher and tougher for us Muslims to practice our Religion according to Sunnah (in the correct manner).
Beware and open your mind to whats happening in this world today.

Come on! We all know bibles, rosaries, crosses, etc. are banned and confiscated in Saudi Arabia. Le Coq Francais is right, I live in Dubai and we don't hear bells during masses but who cares? My relationship with God is more important anyway.
Middle East calls for respect when you're in their country, which is why we understand it when there are limitations to how we can practice our religion in their territory. But why can't some Muslims give the same when they are in non-Muslim countries?

It is great to see (and read and hear) Yahoo! back on its feet, dusted off and taking a leadership role in the digital communications sector. I've been using Yahoo! for so long that my Yahoo ID is my name. No hyphens or underscores or numbers. Just my name. (That's a long time.)
Getting all of this positive energy from Jerry Yang is like meeting an old friend and learning, happily, that all is well. This feels good. I like what I'm hearing.
Congratulations upon staking a claim in Dubai, the city of the future.

What sort of report is this by UBS? Emaar is already trading at 4.5 dirhams and the report is giving a price estimate upwards to 3.2 dhs. It it upward projection or downward?

Homosexuals want government recognized same-sex marriage because of tax benefits and medical benefits, etc… offered through a job for a “spouse”. Those of us who believe in either the Torah, the Injil, or the Koran agree unequivocally that it is destructive and sinful, but many homosexuals justify their relationships as acceptable to God. It is useless to debate this topic solely on the basis of religion, because we can not force religion on another and it be honestly accepted in the person’s heart. However, the facts are out there that a homosexual lifestyle is not healthy and for that reason alone it should not be supported by any government. However, the greatest reason those of us who are opposed to government approved same-sex marriage should set aside our geographical and religious differences and join hands peaceably and compassionately against this is because once same-sex marriages are approved by a government, then homosexuals will have the right to adopt children.
