Subject: Conversion out of ISLAM????
Date: 5 Nov 92 06:33:27 GMT
Organization: Nagoya University Computation Center, Nagoya, Japan.

an any one tell me where it is writen in Quran that a
Muslim cannot convert to other religion? Can any one
enlighten me why (Some wrote so) that all muslims should
kill a person who has come in and out of Islam 3 times?
Is it written in Quran?

How do a person become Islamic????

If your son doesnot say that he is your son, then does
it mean that he not your son. Just because some one
doesnot beleave that Mohamad is a Prophet, still follow
every thing he said is a non-muslim. I know that this is
written so in Quran (Obviously because Mohamad conved it)
Can just one sentence of mouth be make so different to
God. Do you really beleave that God will send me to hell
just Because I said that I don't care to know if Mohamad is
a prophet or not. Please note that I had never said Mohamad
is not a Prophet. I said I don't care. But I fully respect
him. I follow all his words. What a funny thing. Still I
am not a muslim.

How do any one really convert to a MUSLIM. Just by words.
Hold a sword, make him say that he believes so. Then again
hold a sword to say the reverse. So he has converted 3 times.
Then Kill him???????

With regards

According to "Dhaka: a city guide", edited by M. Khatoon and S. Nahar,
1992, Mediaease, the American Embassy has several numbers:

  PABX: 884700-22
  Telex: 642319
  Fax: 880-2-883648
  Public Affairs: 862550-54

I did not call this embassy while I was there this summer, so I can't
say for sure the numbers work.  The book is fairly current, however
some of the airline phone numbers in the book had changed after
the book was printed!  Does anyone have a number they actually called?

	In other words, you don't know anything about it.  You just
have a simplistic stereotypical idea in mind, and you want to use this
limited knowledge to poke some fun at someone else's beliefs.  How
laudable.
	I could go into a long explanation of the currently prevalent
system of Islamic divorce law, possible alternative interpretations of
the Quranic verses which underlie it, and the rights of husband and
wife either way.  But I won't; you are not worth it.  I'll save my
knowledge for those who have a sincere interest in learning, thank
you.  Not for a passing amusement on your part.
	However, I will say that Islam gives the right of divorce to
both husband and wife; that divorce settlements are compulsory and
must be equitable; and that the woman is free to remarry, after having
waited a period sufficient to establish that she is not pregnant with
her former husband's child.

	Interestingly, Binoy Bosu, Dinesh and Badal Gupta (BBD) all hailed 
from Dhaka district. Binoy was a student of Dhaka Mitford Medical College 
and received his initiation under the revolutionary leader Hemchandra Ghosh. 
After the killing of an infamous police officer (Loman (sp?) by name) in
August of 1930, Binoy went into hiding. He was selected to carry out the 
assassination of Simpson (and somebody else, then affiliated with the Home 
Ministry). The Calcutta Writer's Building Operation took place on 8th 
December, 1930. Simpson was killed and several other British officers were
injured, but the police managed to surround BBD. After running out of 
ammunitions they took potassium cyanide and shot themselves in the head. 
Badal died on the spot. Binoy and Dinesh were taken to the hospital. Later 
Binoy deliberately opened his bandage and contaminated himself, he died 5 days 
later. The Govt. couldn't get any information from Dinesh about the 
organization--he was sentenced to death by hanging.

	I am not sure whether BBD went to kill Tegart. There was an attempt 
on Tegart's life in August of 1930, my understanding is Jugantar Group was 
responsible for that. BBD belonged to Bengal Volunteers.
	
	1930 must be considered as the pinnacle year of the anti-British 
armed revolutionary movement that came out of Bengal. One can only remember 
with wonderment about that day in April of 1930 (18th April) when Mastarda 
Shurjo Sen with 65 of his fellow comrades captured the Chittagong Armory and 
Police Line and retained the city under his control for two days. This was 
the first time that revolutionaries fought wearing uniforms and kept a city 
out of British control for such a long period of time.

            *************************************************                 


Dear Mom & Dad,

 Since I left for college, I have been really busy and I am sorry for my
thoughtlessness in not having written before. I will bring you up to date now,
but before you read on, please sit down. You are not to read any further unless
you are sitting down. OK?

 Well , then, I am getting along pretty well now. The skull fracture and the
concussion I got when I jumped out of the window of my dormitory when it caught
on fire shortly after my arrival here is pretty well healed now. I only spent
two weeks in the hospital and now I can see almost normally and only get those
sick headache once a day. Fortunately, the fire in the  dormitory , and my
jump, was witnessed by a waitress at a fast food outlet   near the dorm, and
she was the one who called the fire department and the ambulance. She also
visited me in the hospital and since I had nowhere to live because of the
burnt-out dormitory,she was kind enough to invite me to share her apartment
with her. It's really a basement room but its kind of cute. She is a very fine
girl and we have fallen deeply in love and are planning to get married. We
haven't set the exact date yet, but it will be before her pregnancy begins to
show.

  I know how much you are looking forward to being grandparents, and I know you
will welcome the baby and give it the same love and devotion and tender care
you gave me when I was a child.The reason for the delay in our marriage is that
my girlfriend has a minor infection that prevents us from passing our
pre-marital blood tests, and I carelessly caught it from her.

  I know you will welcome her into our family with open arms . She is kind and
although not well educated, she is ambitious. Although she is of a different
race and religion than ours, I know your often-expressed tolerance will not
permit you to be bothered by that.

  Now that I have brought you up to date, I want you to know that there was no
dormitory fire, I did not have a concussion or skull fracture, I was not in the
hospital. I am not engaged, I am not infected , and there is no girlfriend in my
life. However., I am getting a D in English and an F in computer science, and I
want you to see those marks in their proper perspective.

                                                 Your loving son,

For God sake! Don't believe in US so-called assistance of any kind. They will
only destroy Bangladesh -- in the same way that they are playing cat and mouse
with Pakistan under the illusion of `friends'. And why military! Bangladesh needs
industries, agriculture, education --- only these can bring self-reliance.

	hitherto, it's generally been my experience that cleanliness and
good phuchka don't really mix.  The best stuff i found this summer was
the product of a fellow who positioned himself in the middle of

Do what I used to do - walk!  I always walked from Dhanmondi
to the University.  I know it always puzzled the rickshaw
cyclists as to why I should do that when as a foreigner I
must have had the money to ride, but I learnt more about
Bangladeshis on Elephant Road than from just about anywhere
else.

Why, Saif, did you feel addressed by any of the categories?  I don't
really recall fingerpointing in a particularly negative way in any of
the categories I suggested other than in good humor.  Or perhaps you
felt addressed by one of the categories even though your name wasn't
mentioned?  I wonder what that could be...

Surely, there is a difference between humorous "awards" articles, and
an organized survey that requests people to officially list their
likes and dislikes about scb?

Not surprising that you would interpret it that way...  wouldn't be
the first time you took something out of context... :)  The point here
is that nobody on SCB has the authority to implement any kind of
change on SCB.  An individual has the right to control what he/she
reads and what he/she posts, but no more than that.  That's the whole
point of an unmoderated newsgroup.  A survey cannot be used to change
anything for the simple reason that the authors of the questionnaire
do not have the authority to implement whatever improvements they may
consider necessary.  An attempt to do that would violate the spirit of
an unmoderated newsgroup, and hence of SCB.
