Why bother arguing with this person any further lol.....IMO many religions are man made and based on astrology anyways.So people should all talk about more important things like collecting navel lint and stuff. Co-sign.

interesting question...which Korean festival? it's quite possible because the Chinese calender is partly lunar (lunisolar, it's called, according to wiki ) too....so if it's based on the new moon, i would guess so.... lol this thread is getting ridiculous.... dun worry, there have been and no doubt will be more of the same.... with a couple of posters who will bring up the same old tired s*** that's been refuted in previous threads - as if it's never been discussed before....including a certain someone demanding i post new material even though he's never read any of my previous links, let alone books i've recommended....not surprising as he doesn't even read the links he posts himself.... however, kevin, here's another one you won't read.... In the aftermath of September 11, informed American opinion concluded that Osama bin Laden had attacked "the far enemy" -- the United States -- in order to foment revolution against "the near enemy" -- the Saudi regime. Subsequent events have confirmed that al Qaeda does indeed use the war with the United States as an instrument against its domestic enemies. Yet the tacit cooperation between Nayef and al-Khudayr shows that the relationship between al Qaeda and the Saudi royal family is more complex than most people seem to think.... click here to find out why...which would mean your opinion is uninformed.... lest you have a problem with my source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Affairspeace

Kyuree it works base on the moon. Starts from when a moon is a small cresant becomes full and then small and fade into nothing. Thats one month in muslim calender. Im quite sure theres a lot of webpages on muslim calender. How does a Korean calender works?

with a couple of posters who will bring up the same old tired sh*t that's been refuted in previous threads - as if it's never been discussed before....including a certain someone demanding i post new material even though he's never read any of my previous links, let alone books i've recommended....not surprising as he doesn't even read the links he posts himself....Is this me? Why does this happen to me? Should I get a sex change in Iran? as Kyu-ree says, it was about Floyd - he's changed his screen name from Kevin..... i've been over how "Muslim" *can* be used as a term to describe an ethnic group, NOT that Muslims are an ethnic group per se, in the thread you've only skimmed.... Floyd apparently wants to discuss it all over again...so, have fun with him! peace

Right, freedom loving people respect the secular ideals of religious tolerance, yet some, mainly those who benefit from such libweralism ironically try to impose their values on others. Article from Indonesia.

for one, it just so happens that not all Muslims are terrorists... but all terrorists are Muslims...
also, ignorance and negative stereotypes encourage Islam to be misunderstood.
it's not the religion itself but extremists and the crazy people that give it the bad name.
so i think its a combination beginning with the extremists, which causes negative stereotypes and thus the ignorance of people in society to create islamaphobia.

^^ Read the article! The lashes aren't given all at once so as to keep the whippees alive. It's still really bad I know, but so is misleading hyperbole. Has anyone said yet that a lot of the phobia stems from bigoted intolerance?

^ What did I say? I have made no value judgments, nor stated a position. Its a just a question. Perhaps you should look beyond your own prejudices and emotions before blindly lashing out.

^ Where does one draw the line in protecting the right to freedom of religion and expression, where that religion seeks to destroy the very ideal of secularism which would allow it to culturally and geographically transplant itself? I went ahead and underlined for you the part of your question that can easily be read as a judgment/personal opinion. Believe it or not Muslims exist that are not opposed to freedom of religion and expression. This same unjustified over-generalization could be made about Christianity, shall we take that step? Perhaps you should look at your own prejudices.

^ Long and MissWorldtraveller are both now on my list of Pea-brains, Thickheads and Numbskulls. You have demonstrated your complete pig-ignorance.
I will type this slowly for you..
What you have underlined is a paraphrase from the article. It is not my position, it is a kernel for discussion. If you cannot comprehend that, then may I suggest you get your punked ass back to school and learn that when debating something, you discuss the points of the arguments, not attack the person posing the question.
You are clearly too thick for you own good or for me to waste anymore energy typ-
