In the earlier days of Islam, it was more north-south across Al-Hijaz (that's the western part of modern Saudi Arabia); Muhammad himself took part...
That's the response I would expect from any potential president of the U.S. You have to at least say that publicly, for obvious reasons.
A 'non-issue' in terms of its legality. Obviously a major issue in terms of involving children in sex trade, and using the label 'marriage'...
Yemen is dirt poor, on par with a lot of African states in terms of poverty. Life in Yemen (with its rough terrain) is probably closer to tribal...
Your statement was absolute, all I am saying is that you don't always seek to "destroy" your enemy, for any multitude of reasons. There is a lot...

Lakers over Nuggets in 6. I thought the Nuggs could've upset the Hornets but they have little chance against Kobe and the Lakers. Mavs over...
McGrady is not going anywhere. He will be here at least through the remainder of his contract. Which works out just fine with big free agent...
I found it interesting that the Pope would address this topic, something that I've passively mentioned in other threads in the past. I think...
It's an alliance of convenience. Mostly, we are bribing the Ethiopian leadership so that they would do the 'heavy lifting' for us in Somalia....
Highly debatable that he ever even got the chance to 'lead his people in a new direction' that didn't mean compromising on the 'uncompromisable',...
Wow! You're against child rape/sex slavery too? I thought I was the only one! I tip my hat off to you, sir. We need more courageous souls like...
