 Freedom By Amir Ali
Freedom in Islam is not freedom from moral obligations and responsibilities or freedom from truth, justice, virtue, and righteousness.
Islam teaches political freedom so that people choose their leaders by their own consent, and if the leaders are dishonest or incapable then people remove them from their office.
Islam emphasizes human dignity, and it is freedom that brings dignity to human beings.

 Bahai News - An Exotic Tale of Afghan Islam in Australia
And they were so successful in their endeavour to cross the country that it was noted by a man called Thomas Elder in the north of South Australia that these animals would be very good transport animals in the desert areas there where horses were in fact failing.
When Afghan cameleers cross-crossed the desert and Lutheran missionaries evangelised to the Aboriginal inhabitants of Central Australia, a rare meeting of religions and cultures was played out n the 19th century.
But then as Afghans began to carry sheets of galvanised iron which was a common and inexpensive building material for the stations that they were taking cartage, they soon began to use this material to build both their Ghan town houses and also their mosques.

 Islam - the lawful (Halaal) and the prohibited (Haram)
With the exception of pork and animals or birds which tear their prey apart (namely: lions, falcons, eagles, hawk, leopard, wolf etc.), all other meat is lawful (halaal), in Islam; provided that these meats, meet certain criteria.
Another reason for its prohibition is so that other animals in the food chain will have food and thirdly, so that the farmer or owner of the animal will take good care of it so that they can sell them and earn a living.
Whether the animal was found alive or dead and regardless of whether the animal was whole or in pieces.

 Palestinians Called 'Filthy Animals' on MSNBC's 'Imus'; CAIR Calls For Apology
Yesterday, CAIR issued a similar call for an apology for a Nov. 12th "Imus" program that referred to Palestinians as "stinking animals" and suggested that they all be killed.
If CAIR really "cared" about Muslim honor, they would be trying to apologise for the killings done in Islams name, and doing their best to show the "true" Islam.
Filthy animals is a good description of Mass Murderers that dance in the streets at the death of children.

In the prehistoric period, Chad was much wetter than it is today, as evidenced by large game animals depicted in rock paintings in the Tibesti and Borkou regions.
During the seventh millennium B.C., the northern half of Chad was part of a broad expanse of land, stretching from the Indus River in the east to the Atlantic Ocean in the west, in which ecological conditions favored early human settlement.
One factor that influenced the formation of states in Chad was the penetration of Islam during the tenth century.

 Christianity, Islam and Slavery
Brother Cotton states in his vitally important book, "It is especially important for me to see that those who worship Islam, whether they are white or black, say or do something about the abuse and enslavement of their black spiritual brothers and sisters."
Slavery in the United States, by the European Christians, in the name of Christianity, was the development of the worst form of slavery in world history; "chattel slavery." In other words, Afrikans were not considered human but property or animals, with absolutely no type of human rights at all.
Prior to the 16th century, Spain signed a contract with the Portuguese called "Asiento," allowing them a monopoly in the carrying and selling of Afrikans across the Atlantic, until the English, who were the most aggressive, along with the French, Dutch, and later the rest of Europe joined in.

 HOMOSEXUALITY AND ISLAM
In the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) discrimination against homosexuals is *legal* and is done by law.
I think homosexuality, if free, will always be something peripheral, because although humans have separated from animal nature per se, but as long as we live and procreate in the body we have, we cannot go that far from the rest of animal kingdom.
Homosexuality is not found among the animals (I know only one exception).

Thus you are ordered by Allah to continue in carrying out Jihad against the disbelievers till they embrace Islam and are saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire or at least come under your protection, but if it had been Allah's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them without you.
The compulsion of religion in islam has been highly debated.

 The Concept Of Decoration in Islamic architecture
Because the creation of living things that move -- that is, humans and animals -- is considered to be in the realm of God, Islam discourages artists from producing such figures through art.
There is never one type of decoration for one type of building or object; on the contrary, there are decorative principles that are pan-Islamic and applicable to all types of buildings and objects at all times (whence comes the intimate relationship in Islam between all the applied arts and architecture).
Though objects and art differ in quality of execution and style, the same ideas, forms and designs constantly recur." Because little furniture is traditionally used for daily life in Islam, decoration contributes to the creation of a sense of continuous space that is a hallmark of Islamic architecture.
