"The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticise others. Rather, we must criticise ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life" - Tenzin Gyatso, 14th (current) Dalai Lama

Before we go with a statement as broad as "these people", remember that "those americans" recently burnt a bunch of churches in the south as a \'joke\'...

please don\'t generalize. It deprives your argument of all credibility.

Here\'s a doozie!  Don\'t worry, this one is funny rather than infuriating.

Man accidentally divorces wife in sleep[/B]
March 28, 2006

NEW DELHI --Village elders ordered a Muslim man in eastern India to leave his wife after he accidentally divorced her in his sleep, a news report said Tuesday.

Aftab Ansari uttered the Urdu word for divorce, "talaq," three times in his sleep, prompting his worried wife to discuss the matter with her friends, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.

Under Islamic law, a husband need only say "I divorce you" three times to secure a permanent end to his marriage.

Muslim leaders in the couple\'s village in West Bengal state found out and decreed that Ansari\'s unconscious utterances constituted a divorce, PTI reported.

But 30-year-old Ansari said he had no intention of leaving his wife of 11 years.

"I have not given talaq. When I uttered talaq three times I had taken medicines to help me sleep," he was quoted as saying in the report.

The religious leaders said that before remarrying, the couple would have to be apart for at least 100 days and that the wife, Sohela, would also have to spend a night with another man and then be divorced by him.

PTI reported that the couple has been ostracized because of their refusal to abide by the decision of the village leaders.

Did you see that part in bold?!?!?!  rotfl  And how about the wife telling the whole village what the poor dude said in his sleep!  Not a good idea.  Or maybe she made it up to divorce him.  Either way she\'s either very dumb or very conniving, so if I were him I\'d just go through with it at this point.

I say it was all just a ploy by the wife. Now she gets to sleep around for 100 days and figure out if she still wants to be with her husband.....legally!

Has anyone noticed the similarity between this and putting a player on waivers in baseball.  Every other team gets a crack at him before you can bring him back.

When I, a thoughtful and unblessed Presbyterian, examine the Koran, I know that beyond any question every Mohammedan is insane; not in all things, but in religious matters. When a thoughtful and unblessed Mohammedan examines the Westminster Catechism, he knows that beyond any question I am spiritually insane. I cannot prove to him that he is insane, because you never can prove anything to a lunatic—for that is a part of his insanity and the evidence of it. He cannot prove to me that I am insane, for my mind has the same defect that afflicts his... When I look around me, I am often troubled to see how many people are mad."
