   Cause God knows - the way the world, society is headed, Ireland going 'down the toilet', and fast - I think we are badly in need of it. 

We need it like anything and from yesterday to wash off the effects of colonial mischiefs. They have all lived very closely and happily, for centuries, but a Hang Low Sexnon can't see anyone happy just because el pobre is deep down terribly unhappy himself!

	I told my friend once that I thought we came together to understand we both believed in the same God, and to share faith, and grow strong in that and supporting each other, and helping others see the real good 'fruit' of such faith. After hearing you, I am convinced of it. To make an effort now not just to reach out to non Catholics. Not that I was ever like that anyway. I hate 'labels' But now there are more people here from other countries, cultures and faiths - to seek them out too, and see that we cannot grow in understanding of each other, and share and strengthen our faith in God. I don't doubt it's what God wants and I tell the truth when I say I have never known anyone in my life to pray to the 'created' as Creator. We all need to take the ol' blinkers off and open our hearts. Cause God knows - the way the world, society is headed, Ireland going 'down the toilet', and fast - I think we are badly in need of it. God bless Whisper and thanks for the reminder :-)

	"Specially this family of faiths has much more for sharing than otherwise." I am behind you all the way on this one. :-) I know all about their 'rule'. Pulled out of our beds at 5 in the morning when kids, lined up, body searched and questioned - suspected 'terrorists'. Holy God. When I think on it now - it's like it all happened to someone else. Where I grew up - all Catholics were suspected 'terrorists' and treated as such. So I can relate to Muslims who are treated that way. Best not get into that Whisper ;-) Edited by Gulliver - 05 November 2008 at 5:08pm

	It's true too Whisper. And who'd stop us ? Priests, popes, minsters, imams - scholars ? No one stops them or resists and contact between any faiths with the exception of State! And, the state, in almost 65% of global human mass, in these past couple of centuries was controlled from those cold, dark Whitehall corridors, you know who wanted all such divisions. Yaar, just for a moment try and work out what they had done to the Irish in their own backyard and you will be able to see what they did elsewhere, clearly. But, please, don't leak these Whispers to my frined Minuteman, he thinks that the world never had anything better than the British Rule! I have lead mass at Lahore Cathedral when we set up a society, at the uni, with my Christian brothers. Specially this family of faiths has much more for sharing than otherwise.

	What an absolutely beautiful thought! It has been in practice far longer than we are allowed to know. It's true too Whisper. And who'd stop us ? Priests, popes, minsters, imams - scholars ? A few months ago I was sitting somewhere and the tele was on. There was a movie about the life of Mother Theresa. She works in this school - teaching. And then she is on a train one day, and offered to sit in a certain compartment - separate from the other human beings on the train. She refuses. She sees this man in the street reaching out to her looking assistance, and in that she sees Christ - Christ in each and every human being. One day she is working with the poor. Can't remember all of it. But there are Muslims, Hindus and Christians at their 'temple's. And something is said to her about this. And she says, "we all pray to the same God anyway." The same God who made us all and loves us all. How very true. We can spend so much time, waste so much time on irrelevances - that we have not time left to love our neighbour or God. Even here in Ireland, not that long ago really - Catholic and Protestants we not supposed to share their faith experiences - worship God together - go into each other's churches. It was insane. Maybe one day we will all grow up.

	I would love to see Muslims and Christians coming together more and realising they have the same God, and share prayer etc. What an absolutely beautiful thought! It has been in practice far longer than we are allowed to know. Hola! Gulliver, just a Lilliputian here. The Muslims, the Christians and los Judeos (jews) were like fingers of one fine sensitive creative hand for say a good ten centuries. They created two of the finest civilisations - el-Andalus and the Ottoman Turkey. These both were created and also run by these Three almost like a joingt venture. And, then, some pot bellied, bald or balding, bored and at once impotent Whitehall chaps decided to set our great old Churchill's dream - Divide and rule the Middle East! into practice. In fact the Special Services started long before poor Churchill (el Warmongero) was even born - around 1832 soon after the Greek wars. They stand divided simply because the secular London and New York Bankers can not afford to let their Finacial centres slip in to Beirut and Tel Aviv and Riyadh. Try and work out why was such beautiful Lebanon destroyed? Soon after those Arabs started to place their funds in Beirut banks? What was the first one? Intra Bank if I remember correctly?

	Seems there are 'too many questions' afterall Shasta. Some you just don't ask according to the all knowing, all wise 'scholars'. Unfortunately, nada like that at all. It's just a bit like we have in Ireland and also in most of Europe, to safeguard aganist counterfeits. Los numero dos goods, pirated DVDs, Videos, brand name hand bags, designer T-shirts and all of that! We have safeguards against all such things. You are taken out and thrown in jail for promoting, possesing these? We do the same to anyone promoting numero dos prof8s (won't give them the joy of being called Prophets!)

	You did not name that video Gulliver. I would like to listen it. Kindly share it here at this thread. If you have other questions, you can post them here http://www.islamicity.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13456 And Gulliver, you must be knowing this prophet - Ayub [Job], why did he suffer from diseases ? What does bible say about this ?
	Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: �All the descendants of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."
