Dear Kinzi,

I might disagree with you on politics and religion, but not on the important stuff :)

It would always stay polite!

heh-heh, Hani, I guess it's a good thing I wasn't able to post my comments here yesterday. I learned my lesson, no political blogging!

Bush isn't really that christian, he's more like the biblical God (murderous) than the biblical Jesus (compassionate).

Did you know Obama's father was an atheist born in a Muslim Kenyan Family, and his mom was also an atheist born to a Christian family from Kansas. He claims he was raised as a christian (for political reasons), but his mom apparently gave them al

The minute Starbucks started caring more about their profit margin and way less about their customers all of that went bye-bye!
As a Seattle native, I an tell you with great authority that Starbucks coffee really sucks. Especially when you're blessed with so many amazing places around you that will treat you to the best coffee you can imagine and for less

I have a question does anybody know what happened to the good quality coffee of the day that one could get at Stabucks in the late 90's or so?

I ordered the coffee of the day venti,black with no room for milk, the other day and was surprized, to say the least, that it did not taste as good as the coffee I make at home,let alone the coffee I used to treat myself

first, I just used Islam as an example. I didn't want anyone to think I'm pointing to someone else deliberately.
second, if christianity really had a more liberal majority, we wouldn't have been cursed with dubya!
and it's important to remember that US doesn't represent all the christian world.
anyway, it's all theoretical

Democracy is about the will of the majority. If it's really a global democracy, Christianity is more likely to pass laws than Islam, although the christian majority is mostly secular, so we'll have to rely on common sense!

Anyway, the will of the majority isn't necessarily a good thing. Both George W and Dubya were elected democratically. Palestinians elected Ham

Notice the very specialized conditions to prepare the "press juice". There's a reason he didn't use ordinary juice. Also notice that it's made of yeast! Finally the critical point is that he says during the fermentation the juice must have no contact with oxygen, otherwise it will not ferment. These special conditions make sense otherwise you'd have millions of people drink

Huh, didn't know this, but through Endogenous Ethanol Production, the human body makes alcohol :-) and if you have the right set of diseases, some of this alcohol can get to the blood and you'll feel drunk ;-)

I should add the way small amounts of alcohol affect a person depends on the person. I've known some people who become very funny once they drink, and others who get very sad, and still others who get violent. Perhaps removing the inhibitions reveals what the person is truly like.

I agree about the bad taste and odor (although some alcoholic drinks are odorless), but note that some people drink it not for the taste, but because in small quantities it relaxes you without impairing your judgment significantly. Some people claims it helps them concentrate or be inspired
(think of most of the poets of the jahiliyeh). Others claim it helps during sex making it longer

I don't understand why would anyone drink beer, alcoholic or None alcoholic. It tastes like yukh!#$%#$. Why suffer?

As for the Alcohol part, man, go search, oo 7ill 3anni. I have better things to do than trying to convince you. But rest assured, it's there! Even Qaradawi said it's there. so gibb!

you say "Alcohol is a naturally occurring material that appears in ripe fruits, juices and what not."

do you have a proof? or a link to a scientific paper that expands on this point. I couldn't find one.

here's my treasured link. I found it. This link shows the alcoholic content of about 200 drinks as tested AFTER manufacturing. This is not similar to the claims of the manufacturer. It clearly shows that Moussy, as sold in Saudi, has alcoholic content of .05%

About Alcohol, of course islamically it is haram. I also used to believe that all fruits had it, but I couldn't verify this scientifically, and I've been told that the alcohol causing drunkenness does not exist in fruits.

However, as you mention above, several islamic scholars, including Ibn Uthaimein (the late Saudi grand mufti) & Salman Al-Odah of

You're welcome Qwaider.
Now, about Alcohol, islamically it is definitely haram. I also used to believe that all fruits have alcohol, but it turned out that there are different alcoholic chemical compounds. The one that causes drunkenness does not exist in all fruits - mostly just beer.

However, again, as you said, Islamic Countries allow foods to be labele
