Indeed, during my higher studies, I Used to live with Chinese people, who are really very very friendly.

Before starting this topic, let me say this: I know that atheists may say the opposite is true. Although this thread is not to discuss its topic in relation to religion, let me only give this example: during the golden age of the Islamic empire, despite what many people may think, the majority...
For me I speak only two languages, my native language, which is Arabic, and the language of most of my university studies, which is English.
I spent some years as a student in the UK where I had an opportunity to take my English speaking capabilities to a higher level!

Let me confess, many times, I choose to respond to some OPs without reading them in full :blush:
Some other times, I decide not to respond to an OP because I find it long, and I just can’t get the main point without reading it in full, which I can’t afford!
So what do you think is better...
In this not so golden age of the Muslims, where Muslims are fighting each other and differing among themselves about who should speak of Islam, and in this age of rise of some Muslim radical groups who are inclined toward violence and terrorism, whether against other Muslim groups or against...
We used to have many Muslims here, in RF..

I have to say the following first:
1. I have almost no idea about what bitcoin really is!!
2. I am currently involved in building a personal house..so i have very little to invest in things like bitcoin..
also if you recommend taking such a step, then how to buy it?
Yes. I really regret not taking part in the “Frubal Orgies” during that era.:)

Where some of my posts can be regarded as real researches!
Some of them were series!
So I found that posting in the Frubal Orgy Threads to be not suitable!
However, as someone lately...
When you are in your early teens, you feel that people are either young or old..
You almost don't feel that the young will get old, and the old will get older..and they will eventually die..

Bear with me…
You will quickly get my point!

With respect to our Sunni brothers and Sisters, the fact that the Caliph Umar has ordered the burning of The library of Alexandria is a historic fact that can’t be denied. Even if you can convince some westerners that the story is nothing but an anti-Islamic propaganda, the reality is that the...
