Sorry, no. I haven't got the time, I'm busy clearing out my mother's things with my brother. :-( But I will, when I get the time for it. How long is it? "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me ![]() |

Thanks. I have several PodCasts downloaded, I haven't heard yet, but I will as soon I'm able to. It's hard to find the time, also because it's so emotionally tiring to dismantle my mother's home, and with this also saying goodbye to things from my childhood. :-( Your mother is right, it is tough to lose the last parent, because with this a lot of your life, as it was, disappear ...

Matthew 4 ;) 1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread." 4 But he answered, "It is written, `Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, `He will give his angels charge of you,' and `On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'" 7 Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, `You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'" 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them; 9 and he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me." 10 Then Jesus said to him, "Begone, Satan! for it is written, `You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.'" 11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him. |

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.Yes. Behold the legacy of the western hemisphere. Here's another, which is still valid, but it especially makes me think of the 30-year war (1618-48) in Europe, between protestants and catholics: ![]() |

Notice the date: October 12, 2004 Jewish teacher attacked in Copenhagen  for quoting Qur'an The Danish journalist and writer Helle Merete Brix has kindly forwarded this link to the Danish newspaper Jyllandsposten. According to Brix, the story, in Danish, says that a Jewish teacher who teaches Hebrew and Arabic in the departments of Theology and Middle East Studies at the University of Copenhagen was attacked during the day last Tuesday. He was leaving the Theology department in the middle of the city when he was being brutally beaten up by five men whom he did not know. Allegedly they kicked and hit him because he has quoted from the Qur'an during a lecture. They told him that an infidel was not allowed to do that. The teacher has received medical treatment and is now on sick leave. Brix says that this is the first time in a decade that a university teacher has been beaten up in Denmark.

Qur'an 2:189 And fight in the way of God with those; who fight with you, but aggress not: God loves not the aggressors. And slay them wherever you come upon them, and expel them from where they expelled you; persecution is more grievous than slaying. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, slay them -- such is the recompense of unbelievers -- but if they give over, surely God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. ------------------------- Reader take note... but aggress not: God loves not the aggressors. ------------------------- Stop blaming GOD for what PEOPLE do! ;) |
