Question #4:
How can " 9/11 mosque supporters " Liberals and American Muslims be offended by the koran burning in Florida?
After all that talk about tolerance and its their right to build there because its private property. Even the imam wife's defending the mosque saying this is America and we should be tolerant but now complain about another American exercising his rights its all of a sudden offensive when close to 70% of Americans say site where the mosque is to be built is offensive but Liberals go out of their way to defend that so why not defend the church in Florida rights's. Works both ways but when its not your way it wrong?Funny how your all for the rights granted to you in America when it benefits you but when it offends you your against it whole heatedly.
Question #5:
should i leave my partner now?
i have been with my boyfriend for 14 months, for the first 9 months or so things were brilliant and when we had a minor fall out (either my fault or his) i would always go off in a huff and he would always be sorry, ask me to come back and we would always miss eachother alot. One day i walked and wouldnt speak to him for 4 days, he took the week off work and moped around his house because he couldnt "bear" to go outside and face the music while i wouldnt speak to him. We moved in together in june (3 months ago), the second night we moved in we had some friends round for drinks but after they left he started an arguement with me for no apparent reason and called me some awful names, told me he was in love with someone else and that he despised me because i forced him into moving here. I was in total shock as i'd never seen him act in this way ever and as he was shouting in my face, i grabbed him by throat so he then grabbed my arm and threw me across the floor and spat in my face. I threw him out of the house and he came back about 3 days later to return my mobile phone which he had taken with him when he left. I barely spoke to him because he wasnt the man i thought he was. We had a discussion and he said how sorry he was and he didnt mean any of it and it was because he had too much alcohol that night, i didnt fully trust him yet but thought i could maybe let him have another chance as we were both under alot of pressure with moving to a different town and having to buy furniture etc. A few weeks later i made the mistake of drinking in his company again when he flew off the handle at a silly argument again, infront of our guests this time, as they were leaving he was calling me names and looking at me as if i was something he had just stepped in! I will never forget the looks of disgust on his face when he was shouting the names at me. I will also mention that ever since we have lived here, i have cooked 99% of the meals, made his lunches for work alot, done all the housework and ironing, and give him lifts to work 15 miles away some days. I have done everything to try to please him and i dont mind doing all the house stuff but think he takes it for granted because i would never get a thankyou for any of it. Anyway we had been getting on well the past few weeks, kissing,cuddling and laughing and joking with eachother again. Every other weekend his two year old son from a previous relationship comes down to stay with us and sometimes can be very clingy, cries alot to get his own way, and throws tantrums. Sometimes i have to bite my lip before i say something about how his son behaves in this house, there was no discipline where the child is concerned but only recently after i told him that if he doesnt stop letting him get his own way now he will be worse to handle when he gets older. I think the main reason i am not very tolerant of his sons behaviour is because i have lost a big chunk of respect for my partner since what has happened here. Also he emotionally drains me most of the time he'll storm about the house,not speak to me, if i say something wrong or ask "a stupid question" to him he will start ranting at me calling me thick. Well last weekend we had a few beers each and watched some comedy dvds, then we started to drink some vodka (which i should have known would end up in disaster) we got into a discussion about cruelty to animals and children, he said since he had a son he doesnt give a toss about cruelty to animals, which he knows i feel very strongly about both. Then he said my mothers dog who means alot to me and who had been staying here over the holidays was always annoying him and didnt like it running about our house, then i couldnt help myself and said well your son runs about this house wrecking it and i dont say anything. Before i knew it he had me by throat and was shaking me, i managed to get free and then grabbed him by his throat and scraped the neck of him, as we kept attacking eachother he then grabbed me again by the hair this time and smacked my head off the wooden floor a few times until i gave up, meanwhile he was shouting if theres any marks on me you're dead and dont you ever talk about my son again, i was shouting back yes i'm sure he'd be so proud if he could see what kind of a monster you are. We have barely spoke since, i hate him but i dont want to lose this house and cannot afford it alone, i also dont want to go home with my tail between my legs with everyone knowing my relationship didnt work out. I also do not want to be the woman who takes this kind of treatment from a man and who makes excuses for it, 2 years ago if someone said this would happen to me i would never have believed it, laughed it off in fact. Please help i need good advice .Question #6:

Question #8:
How do I appreciate the good things in life?
well there are lots of things in my life that's not going well at the moment like school but if i think about it, there are some good things. like my loving boyfriend for one thing. he's always there for me, even when i'm angry at him, and although he gets picked on by everyone and isn't that clever, he really is important to me. he's never done anything bad to me like abusing me or cheating on me, he always listens to my needs, and yesterday he told me that he will never give up on the love for me even if i stop liking him. but for some reason, it all feels normal, and i don't feel much. i always try to think of an excuse and make it negative like what he says is a lie.and i feel that i take him for granted sometimes and i feel bad. how can i appreciate what he does for me?

Question #10:
Ramadan : : What were the views of hypocrisy from the salaf?
It was reported that Ibn Abee Mulaykah (d. 117h) said:أَدْرَكْتُ زِيَادَةً عَلَى خَمْسِينَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسِولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا مَاتَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ يَخَافُ النِّفَاقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ
"I met more than 50 of the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace), and not one of them died except that he had (always) feared falling into hypocrisy."
Source: Ta'theem Qadr as-Salaat of al-Marwazee (2/634)
It was reported that al-Hasan al-Basree (d. 110h) said about hypocrisy:
مَا خَافَهُ إِلاَّ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلاَ أَمِنَهُ إِلاَّ مُنَافِقٌ
"No one other than a believer is afraid of it, while the only one who feels safe from it is a hypocrite."
It was also reported that he swore by Allaah that:
مَا مَضَى مُؤْمِنٌ قَطُّ وَلاَ بَقِيَ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ مِنَ النِّفَاقِ مُشْفِقٌ؛ وَلاَ مَضَى مُنَافِقٌ قَطُّ وَلاَ بَقِيَ إِلاَّ وَهُوَ مِنَ النِّفَاقِ آمِنٌ
"There is no single believer who lived in the past or who lives today except that he was/is afraid of hypocrisy; and there is no single hypocrite who lived in the past or who lives today except that he felt/feels safeguarded against hypocrisy."

Question #11:
I need help :( How do I show my ex that I've changed?
I was a bad selfish little girl, I cheated w other people's feelings and money, i liked my bf a lot but i still continued doing those things that i shouldn't have because i took things for granted, i believed that if something went wrong we could work things out. But it never happened. I guess you only really appreciate things after you have lost them huh?Aft we broke up because he found out about something i was hiding, I stopped doing whatever I did in the past because i totally regret it. I explained and apologized for the past, but i guess its too late? and he knows i still have feelings for him because i blog it all out and he reads my blog. im not really sure he even misses me anymore, i guess not really because we haven't seen each other for 2 months... i tried asking him out but he made excuses not to see me. then he keeps rubbing it in my face like 'don't you have a lot of guys to date? why did you ask me out?', he keeps telling me that and teasing me about some stupid disgusting guy friend of his that likes me which i don't even like back. so how do i show that i don't want to fool around anymore, i don't want to get with guys only for their money, and i really want a 2nd chance to fix things because i still really like him? :(
Question #12:
Why is my boyfriend so rude! I can't believe I put up with him for so long!?
We have been dating five months the first two months were great but, since then everything has really sucked! He never wants to hangout, he never calls, he never texts, he never calls me beautiful like he used to, he takes me for granted! Tonight, I was talking to him over facebook and he was giving me one word answers and then he randomly logged off without saying goodbye. Twenty minutes later he logs back on but, doesn't talk to me. We're going back to school tomorrow god, it's going to be so awkward between us! I'm going to wait a few days before I break up with him but, I just can't believe I put up with his actions for sooo long. A few days ago he said he loved me but, I think he only says that so I will have sex with him and stuff. I can't believe him.What will be the best way to break up? How can I move on? Can you guys please help because I feel like crap right now :(

Question #13:
Average tuition for public state university?
I keep hearing that tuition in a public university is cheap and you should be able to graduate debt-free or little debt. But dang I don't think is that cheap. My tuition is 5K a semester full time plus fees and books. That's more than 40,000 for four years not including living expenses and books. I get 5k a year on grants so that helps. What are some tips on graduating with less debt? How do others do it? There is no way my family can help me pay for any of it. A part time job barely covers living expenses.I'm a senior with already 19,500 in debt. I'm so stressed out. Is that bad for a public university? I still have spring and summer to go. I estimate I will graduate with 27-28k in debt.

Question #15:
How are illegals helping us out when L.A. County welfare to children of illegal immigrants grows & amnesty?
Welfare payments to children of illegal immigrants in Los Angeles County increased in July to $52 million, prompting renewed calls from one county supervisor to rein in public benefits to such families.The payments, made to illegal immigrants for their U.S. citizen children, included $30 million in food stamps and $22 million from the CalWorks welfare program, according to county figures released Friday by Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.
The new figure represents an increase of $3.7 million from July 2009 and makes up 23% of all county welfare and food stamp assistance, according to county records.
Last year, welfare and food stamp issuances totaled nearly $570 million, and the amount is projected to exceed $600 million this year. In addition, county taxpayers spend $550 million in public safety — mostly for jail costs — and nearly $500 million for healthcare for illegal immigrants, Antonovich said.
"The supervisor is very concerned," said Antonovich spokesman Tony Bell. "He believes we have an economic catastrophe on our hands."
Shirley Christensen of the county Department of Public Social Services said the number of households with illegal immigrant parents and U.S. citizen children receiving welfare increased by 7% from January to June of this year.
"With the economy the way it is, a lot of people have had to avail themselves of programs they may not have needed before," Christensen said. "Everyone is taking a hit, including undocumented immigrants."
Amid continued economic gloom, debate has intensified over the public cost of providing benefits to illegal immigrants and their U.S. citizen children. In recent months, calls have grown for a constitutional amendment that would effectively deny citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants, whose numbers increased from 2.7 million in 2003 to 4 million in 2008, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.
Currently, U.S. citizenship is automatically granted to children born on U.S. soil. Last month, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) announced that he might introduce a constitutional amendment to deny citizenship to children of illegal immigrants. Antonovich and several legal scholars, however, argue that a federal statute would be sufficient to change the law.
But even some immigration hawks are wary of such a move. Steven Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington-based research organization that supports immigration restrictions, said ending birthright citizenship would harm children for their parents' misdeeds, require new federal registration systems and create other problems. The solution, he said, is to continue driving down illegal immigration with tough enforcement.

Question #18:
Can someone remind me why we care about gay marriage?
I mean who cares, it's SOOOOO boring. It just wastes time. We should be more worried about developing technologies and sciences then "adam and steve." Here's my take:1. If you believe it's evil and they're going to hell, ok, but let them make that choice. It's between them and god. Honestly, it doesn't hurt anyone but themselves (if at all), so let them be judged for their sins. god can take care of it.
2. If you dont care, well, then you dont care.
I myself find it completely unimportant. If I could press a button, I'd guess let them have the right I suppose, but it's not all that important to me. Again, SOO boring. We waste so much time. If it's unnatural and evil, god WILL take care of it, and doesn't need your help. Surely people agree? Isn't it a waste of time? Grant civil unions with sensible limitations, leave marriages to the discretion of churches, and that's it. If they go to hell, it;s there problem. If there is no hell, who cares.

Question #20:
Do you visit the needy, kind of like charity work?
On Every SundayIn every room, some dying length of skin and bone
they all look like broken glass
they speak and it is
water splashing on a tile floor,
their voices a fine mist.
I hand them each a token
made of an angel's tooth,
and I ask them to forgive
the smell of bleach
on my fingers.
On
to the next room,
more broken glass,
spread thinly
around my feet.
They lend me their fragile colors,
I use the faded blue to guard my toes.
My back to them now, I speak
granting them another day,
breaking the rest of their glass
into dust
as I leave.
