Originally posted by -SpectraL You sit down and decide… "What do I like to do the most in life?" Once you have decided that, the rest is easy; you know where to go next. Your job, your purpose in life, should never be something you don't like, or something you are not really interested in. You should never settle for a job just because you need money. That is a recipe for failure and disaster right off the hop. Work should always be like it's not really work. And don't say there's no field, or there's no demand, or there's no future in it, because if you do something you honestly love to do, and you do it better than everyone else, you WILL succeed. It's not a question. So, you take a few minutes, sit down, get rid of the distractions, and then decide what it is in life you think you can make a dent in. Once you've set the intention, you follow through. It's simple. Get the paperwork you need in the area that makes you the most happy. After all, life is about living, not working for a paycheck.
Thank you so much, -SpectraL. This is some solid advice. I think the main problem is that I became too focused on wanting to become a nurse, that I didn't really think of anything else when I had dropped out last year, leaving me completely clueless. It's gonna take some time to get the paperwork I need, at least a year, but hopefully I will get there. Once again, thank you.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Anal Scratch Hemorrage The French Knight Templars are particularly famous for this and this was one of the primary accusations against then when they were betrayed by King Lewis (i think but I'm not quite sure what king it was) who owed then great amount of money so he sought and found a way to kill them all instead of paying his debt.
That's interesting. Also, you probably already know this, but the Crusades started after the pope lied to the people about their Christians brothers being slaughtered by Muslims. They were actually living in peace in Palestine. But the pope decided to fuck it up. I think it was because a king asked him to. I'm not entirely sure.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Satyr All fine and dandy, but what is mentioned in the Quran and what (some!) Muslims do are not necessarily the same thing. The Quran might be one of the few religious texts that actually opposes violence to women and it doesn't mention anything about niqabs or burqa's.. Yet muslim women still wear them or are forced to wear them. Even the more moderate Muslims promote the covering up of hair. Extremist muslims still believe in strict sharia law, where women get their skulls bashed in for showing their hair. I have spoken with a Belgian who converted to Islam. He actually advocated killing his own sister because she's lesbian.
In short: I don't think the argument "Quran doesn't promote violence, therefore no Muslims are violent, therefore fear for Islam is ungrounded" doesn't hold water.
To be clear though, I don't think anyone should be afraid of Muslims or Islam. But the more radical sects? Whipe them off the face of the earth.
Hey Satyr, first off, good to have you back. Second, you're correct. The Qur'an does not tell how women (and men, for that matter) should be dressed; rather, it says that we are required to cover up. Regardless of gender. See, it's a common misconception. Same thing happens with honor killings and executing homosexuals. They are a cultural thing, not a religious thing. In fact, honor killings are un-Islamic, same thing applies to executing homosexuals. But this does not happen often, I think. But a lot of people use it to further their anti-Muslim agenda, even though it is incorrect. They pretend as if it's an every day kind of thing, when it is not. I think the argument jumps to conclusions. Yes, the Qur'an does not promote unwarrented violence, but that does not mean Muslims can't be violent. After all, we're just human beings, and we are prone to human emotions, such as anger. Violence means you act in on that emotion. I think the Belgian is wrong in wanting his lesbian sister dead. But a lot of people think that way, actually. They all have their opinions, and I have no problem with that as long as they don't actively harm somebody in a physical fashion. I don't care if somebody is anti-gay or pro-gay, or anti-trans or pro-trans. PS: did you know that trans people are actually accepted in Pakistan, a Muslim-majority country? Hell, if someone is trans, and has to choose between being male or female, they can check the third box which says "third gender." And it's been that way for years. Yet Americans get their panties in a bunch when transgenders want to enter the bathroom they wish to enter. Pakistanis have no problem with that. Yet we are the ones who are "backwards."

Like I said, I have not read the Quran cover to cover. I did read the 14 verses leading up to my first quote, I have not gained any particular context, it seems to be a description of appropriate conduct during war?
No, I'm just saying people like to take things out of context and give it a false spin: making it seem as us Muslims are bloody savages out to kill anybody who does not believe. But that's basically it, yeah, the verses are there for a meaning. It's in the context of a war. Tons of people pretend like it's a verse that commands Muslims to kill anyone who isn't a Muslim, which is absolutely false. Even in war, there are still rules one must adhere to. One of these rules is not killing women, children, the elderly or the sick, or somebody of another faith who is in their place of worship. It's just a fair thing to do, when you have a contract with "the enemy" and "the enemy" breaches this contract, it is only logical and understandable that if attacked, one should be able to murder "the enemy." It is violence in response to violence. It's not unwarranted violence, what a lot of people seem to think.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
