Does Louis Farrakhan and his ilk practice the same religion as most of those in Pakistan? Are both groups referred to as Muslims?

If so, is this the same religion of those that were responsible for 9-11?

Why do many of this faith in Pakistan for example wear certain clothing....but, those in America dress somewhat differently?

Are there different "denominations" of Muslim or Islam or, different beliefs within the religion? Or, are all the same, with the same beliefs, from country to country...sub-group to sub-group?

Lastly, in this religion, why is it wrong to post a picture of Muhammad? I don't understand why a depiction of him, is wrong? In the Christian religion, every old woman has a picture of Jesus hanging on her wall....or, of the disciples, or of John the Baptist....reminding them of their devotion to their religion, their loving, kind God, etc...Wouldn't a depiction of Muhammad hanging on the wall of an old Muslim woman be a good reminder to those of that faith?

And, why is there such violence threatened against those that publish a picture of Muhammad, etc...Much is debated, critisized, made fun of with all religions.....but, Muslims seem to be the most vocally offended, and quick to violence when their prophet/religion is the subject.

Serious questions...just trying to understand a little better.

Millions of Bengalis (victims of rape and torcher) wher pushed across the border by Pak army forcing India to provide them shelter, refuge food ,clothing and even medical attention.
The Pakistanis justified their actions on grounds of being a superior race to dark skinned Bengalis! A God given right in their eves.
The tables have turned and now Millions of these fair skinned handsom Pakistanis live in tents.
Now do you believe in " What goes around, comes around" and " thou shall reap what thou shall sow" and simply in Insaf?
Khuda ke ghar der hai, Andher Nahin.
Love not
Neither the Bengalis nor Indians are responding to Pak racism.
What Pak is getting is the result of what it has sown in the past by the Law of action and reaction within Pakistan it self.

.Salam. I am an american female thru and thru who will be converting to Muslim. I'm engaged to a beautiful ,sweet,honest man from Pakistan. To those of you that think the Muslim women should not wear the veil.To those of that think it is just to get attention please read this. Qur'an says:
" O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers that they let down upon them their over-garments; this will be more proper, that they may be known and thus they will not be given trouble; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."(33:59)
Clothing is one point, which distinguishes between mankind and animals. It helps people become more familiar with cultural characteristics of an ethnic group, or with those belonging to a region. Variety of clothing has three considerations to cover the body, to embellish the appearance, and to represent an idea.
Islamic hijab being covering for women protects them from harassment.It isn't a sign of weakness it protects our rights as women.

3 weeks ago we had a fest in our college where all the girls had to be in ethnic wear and we boys in formals.It was in the evening around 6:00 pm the program was organised.i went to the program hall at arounf 5:30 and waited to see my girlfriend as i had never seen her in a saree.she arrived at 5:45 and oh!man she was looking gorgeous in her green designer saree with long ear hangings,she had got her hair straitened a few days back and it added to her beauty,i was amazed to see her.

I dint pay much attention even though i knew i can beat them and race ahead of them,i am 100% faster than them but i was in a romantic mood..but sanju started shouting " go fast!!,go fast!! beat them" i just increases the speed a little bit but i dint want to spoil the romance..she started shouting again,so, i got crossed and shouted "this is the fastest i will ride" and the guys who teased us stopped and stared laughing they were atleast 200 metersaway from us..after i shouted she was quiet for a moment and again shouted "stop" i stopped in shock..she shouted again "get down" i was angry and i got down,then she didi the unthinkable she gave me her clutch bag and jumbed to the riders' seat!!can u beleive it riding a bullet in a saree??fortunately she wore sume short pants inside,and she screamed again "sit" i was in total shock to argue and sat on the back seat,she rode it ahead and the teasing guys also stood in shock she went ahead of them and said "i won,u loosers" those guys just went in their own directions..i knew she can ride a bike but in a saree??anyway she stopped ahead and got down i was stunned,she said "see thats all,y u so scared??coward!!,now no more long ride,drop me home" she asked me to drop because her house was in the heart of the city and there were many police men and she dint have the license..i dropped her and went home and in the next day in college she said she got body pains as the bullet is a heavy bike and she wasnt used to riding heavy bikes..from that day she dosent beleive when i say about my biking skills..i've enen shown a few glimpses of it but she isnt convienced..now whenever we go out she insists on taking the public transport..what do i do to win back my reputation??plz help!!

I have got a job Finance Co. My colleagues are good there are number of male and female counterparts, they are very helpful, but during the lunh time my female colleagues shares non veg jokes with each other and they even share their bedroom experience. Which I feel very uncomfortable. One day one of my female colleague telling me to wear saree below navel below 4" so that I can get more attention and my work will be done easily. One day I tried it and went to the office in that way. All of my female colleagues appreciate me and suddenly one of them remove my pallu and show my navel every one present in that room. From that day every female colleagues wearing saree in that manner. They show their navel each other. I did not get understand what type of mentally they have. Kindly suggest me .

Last time I asked that why Pakistan Army is Frist in Ranking in world instead answer you provided arguments against this idea. I talked of the ranking of being 'Victorious'. Every one wrote that British is first class and America is powerfull and then Israel is their son. O Bros.look British lost war in Afghan. US is lasting war in Afghan. Why???? America has become devoid? Now he is finding ways to come out of Afghan and Iraq. Army mens are resgining at what would be the end of war in Afghan. It is reality. All Worlds Forces(Nato) is not there in Afghan. Then why they can't do any thing towards being victorious. They even can't claim that except "Kabul' which province they have controll on. NO they fear to come out of 'Kabul'. but look at 'North Waziristan' Pakistan army have defeated the so-called 'Taliban' that are actually the agents of America, India and Israel and even of Russia all these are the natural enemy of Pakistan due to its Army Power and Nuclear Power. Pakistan govt have proofs of all these agents. again it is realiy that America and specially Inida is trying hard to Pakistan be defeated from so-called 'Taliban'. Real Taliban from Afghan are not the enemy of Pakistan but they only want to help it and defeat the forces in Afghan. They need Islam and America is fearful of Islam. according to religian Islam itself have to be dominant again in world befor the day of Qiyamah the ending day of world. and also a Hadees of Prophet Mohammad SAW the last victoy of islam will start from the Afghan Hills by people whos clothes , as mentioned in Hadees' would be like Talibans. so look the Talibans(of Afhan under Usama) are not going to be defeated by anyone. Pakistan Army is Number one as It defeated not only its enemies but the history of this army if full of such events that are not present in any army. I'll give some of those here if any one is curious to know?

I bought a silk saree from <a href="http://www.jiljilsilks.com/">http://www.jiljilsilks.com/</a> recently, I was astonished of the quality of the silk I received , and I wore a purple saree JilJil Silks sent me, I feel I am looking more pretty and beautiful now. I recommend to see the picture of a girl wearing a saree in http://meenakshisilks.cabspace.com/Menu_menu_3.html.
visit http://www.jiljilsilks.com/ , sorry for the wrong link.

The normal saree width would be 43" to 46" (around 110- 130 cms). Can we buy or order pattu sarees of lesser width? I have heard of chettinadu sarees which are of lesser width (91 cms)but generally would be in cotton. Can we order any directly with the saree makers? Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

hello, I visited http://jiljilsilks.com, I like their silk sarees very much, I want to buy them because they are very cheap and they are from kanchipuram, Can I buy from them?

I would like to know if you would prefer the traditional "gaddi" system of seeing the collection or the hanging, racks and counters system. Which do you find more convinient and why?
Thank You

I have always loved Indian culture and am always learning more. I have been to a sikh temple with a good friend of mine before she went on vacation back in India and we lost contact.

Another good ONLINE friend on mine, keeps telling me how pretty I'd look in a Saree. Problem is the only Indian clothes I've warn before was the long tunic/pants and head wrap I wore to the temple. I borrowed it from my old friend.

We have a LARGE Indian community here in my part of the "westurn world" And I was wondering the following:

What exactly do I look for in a GOOD saree?
How do I put one on? *as silly as it sounds*
Is it traditional to go barefoot? Or can I wear sandals?
How do you wash them?
Any suggestions for fabric/design?
Any other information I need to know?
