Dudes. Can someone define the word Kuffar? It seems like it might have wide connotations to me. Thank you.
The word Kuffar كفار is the plural of Kaffer كافر, which describes atheists (those who deny existance of a supreme being) or the non-believers, those who do not believe in the existence of the holy god, the super natural being that created all that exists.
However, these days the word Kuffar, is wrongly directed at those who are non-Muslims, meaning all those who did not convert to Islam, are non-believers.
Since the way of the holy Qur’an is that Islam is the last god sent religion, and خاتم ألأديان, it is meant for all humans to abandon their beliefs and follow Islam without questions.

Harry there r x's where I think that running down the streets naked would be great fun, brings back many memories from x's gone bye bye. However, this behavior runs rampant thru. my family so I guess I come by it naturally! My "Dad" (?) and his wife enjoy this much. Sitting on furniture in their home would be scary! LOL

How very true bro. Its a shame some other members of the forum just cant seem to admit to this fact and recognize that certain Mullas are using the miserable situation to twist Islam and use it for their party's own ambitions. The more extreme end of this phenomena is the example you have posted above. They will make what they want of the definition of words such as kuffar to serve their own needs. I personally think its despicable!
Hi LOB. Me too. I think it is sooo terrible how these ppl use religion to kill and steal and create a general fear in the country. They are all greedy for power and money.
((Me too. I think it is sooo terrible how these people use religion to kill and steal and create a general fear in the country. They are all greedy for power and money)).
i agree with you on that also, but what can we do ?.
that is also what the kurds are doing the samething.
Sadiq20006 the Kurdish people are more civilized and at least they dont kill each other and they are not greedy. Look at your maliki and jaafery and saddam the dog. The kurdish people do not need to use religion because they are more religious and true muslims than you are. When we see an arab in Hewler or in sulaimani we make sure we stay away from them and we hope they will leave.
the kurds they were never civilizaed they killed many native people in mesopotamia and stealing the lands that itis not theirs and faking the history they do not like any one they care for them selves and they are not doing this for the religious and second who said that the kurds are more muslims than any one no you are wrong the kurds have nothing to do with islam they do not know anything about islam and if they do they never continue doing bad things and faking the history and stealing the keep lieing to people this is not islam is called they do not care about anyone they care only for them selves and they do not like any one.
and suilaimania is a iraqi city not an kurdish city they do not any city that belong ot them they just steal from the native people in iraq that is what they are no civilization no history no any dignity and no any origin back ground so stop fooling youselfes about the kurds (they do not care about any one they will any thing for their crazy ambitions evern if it was for killing all the iraqis, also the kurds they have something to do with the situation in iraq in everyway).
hewler is the second name for irbil city (ofcourse it is a fake name no such thing) and they will change the name of karkuk also in the future and if they did they will claim their fake land (kurdistan land and nation).
In a development that should cloud further discussions over what country's government has been supplying weapons to Shiite militias, Italian anti-mafia investigators have busted up an arms deal negotiated through an intermediary for Iraq's interior ministry. Most intriguing, the US military apparently had no knowledge of the pending $40 million sale that would have supplied 105,000 Russian-made weapons to the ministry.
"Iraqi officials did not make MNSTC-I aware that they were making purchases," Lt. Col. Daniel Williams of the Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq (MNSTC-I), which oversees arming and training of the Iraqi police and army, told the AP. According to AP's reporting:
Investigators say the prospect of an Iraq deal was raised last November, when an Iraqi-owned trading firm e-mailed Massimo Bettinotti, 39, owner of the Malta-based MIR Ltd., about whether MIR could supply 100,000 AK-47 assault rifles and 10,000 machine guns "to the Iraqi Interior Ministry," adding that "this deal is approved by America and Iraq."
The go-between - the Al-Handal General Trading Co. in Dubai - apparently had communicated with Bettinotti earlier about buying night visors and had been told MIR could also procure weapons. Al-Handal has figured in questionable dealings before, having been identified by U.S. investigators three years ago as a "front company" in Iraq's Oil-for-Food scandal.
Al-Handal denied any impropriety in the Italian arms deal, as did an anonymous interior ministry official, who explained the unconventional back channel purchase by explaining that the government "doesn't ask the supplier how these weapons are obtained."
The official contended that "most" of the weapons were ordered for police in Anbar province, though the Pentagon records indicate it has already issued almost 170,000 AK-47s to the ministry for the 161,000-strong police force across the country.
info@progressivepress.com rather interesting, under tarpley's believe it or not, haven't researched, but interesting, sent for a dvd at one x and they enclosed these postcards that are again interesting.
