Any Muslims here?

[todpod]

I work in the child welfare system and have a young man who is in placement due to drug use. While in placement he has taken a real interest in Islam. He will be getting out soon and he lives a 100 miles from the nearest Mosque(sp). I would like to encourage this further because he will have a tough time when leaves placement. He is starting to put many of the teachings into practice.

Are there any good web resources that can help?

Where would a person go about getting a prayer rug, he has fashioned one from a towel, but he would like a real one.

Thanks for the help Todd

That's the spirit! Hook him on religion instead of drugs, because that's always healthy. Guess he found his "higher power" already eh?

I agree. I know too many people that replaced drugs with religion and it's still just addiction to me.

The weak minded always need something...religion..drugs

In life the choice is rarely between good and evil, its more like the lesser of evils.

In that case, I pick drugs!

i agree that the ease in which addicts take to religion is disturbing. however, your tone is offensive and ignorant. being "hooked" on religion is considerably safer than drugs.
i find it interesting you place blame on the poster for the young mans interest.

anyway, im sorry i cant help with resources.

How many millions have died in the name of religion? How many millions have died due to drugs? Yeah, that's what I thought. Sounds as if you are the ignorant one, because I can't remember the last time 10 million people died because they were fighting for one strain of marijuana over another. You could possibly take a look at history before spouting off next time.

Oh shut up already. Ask yourself this. How much good has come from religion. Now how much good has come from drugs? Try opening up your mind for once

todpod: I'll ask some of my friends if they have any online resources. I'm pretty sure they do.

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

Why not contact that Mosque and ask them how he can get those things? They're probably willing to help him out there, or can direct him to a more easily available place.

:roll: Stunning rebuttal yet again from dabuddha. I don't even know why I bother to read your posts.

 

[FriedToast]

Or contact a nearby college- there are often Muslim associations there that would be able to help w/ such things.

Ahhh insults from a feeble mind. Can't expect much else from Mill. If you can come up with something constructive, perhaps you can share or just butt out.

What I said was constructive, dickwad. Just because it doesn't fall inline with your opinion it doesn't mean it isn't constructive. You've obviously got ZERO experience dealing with drug addicts, so I in fact suggest you shut the fvck up. Ok?

Religious War
Religious Wars 2

And that's just a microcosm of it all. Don't even start with other wars related to the Reformation, the Crusades, Muslim terrorists, etc. Just about every major war in history was religious in nature or incorporated religion. So I ask you, what has religion done that was good for mankind? Made them believe in false hope? Told addicts they had a way out? The last thing addicts need is religion. So why don't you post something worth a damn, then? What experience do you have with addicts? Any? I fvcking thought not.

No Mr. Ignoramus. What you said had nothing to do with the OP. Stop trolling in this thread and go elsewhere. Proof yet again how ignorant you truly are.

I'm sorry your pea-brain can't fathom how destructive religion is to someone with an addictive personality. You've yet to make a single sensible tangible point in any debate with me. You just call me "ignorant' or start jerking yourself off so hard that you pass out. So, you can ignore anything I say just because you are a pretentious fvckhead, or you can actually listen to my point. I think it wouldn't be any help at all to an addict to get religion. Even David Wilkerson's program(Teen Challenge) founded in Times Square is a detriment to addicts, and I'm a big fan of Wilkerson. They claim over 90% cure rate, when in actuality there is no "cure" for drug addicts. I suggest YOU get educated, and stop calling people ignorant that have more intellect in their little toe than you do in your entire skull. That's all I ask. If you want to debate the idea that religion is harmful to addicts then go ahead. But right now all you're doing is creating a flame war. I posted what I felt and you started jerking off about it.

lol. Did I ever tell you how much you amuse me? Try getting off the computer and into the real world sometime. Let's try this. I'm going to restate what the OP originally asked for, ok? Hopefully you can understand this.

todpod wants some web resources that will help this kid learn more about his religion. todpod would also like to find out where he/she can get a prayer rug for this kid.

See that was fairly simple. Now hopefully you can try to use your "pea" brain to stay on topic and not troll as usual. Good luck Mill! You'll definitely need it!


todpod: Try this link for prayer rugs: prayer rugs

You've proved my point. Have a nice one, moron.

Eh? I haven't singled out Islam at all. Possibly learn to read? In fact, most everything I said was talking about Christianity, but the same is applicable to Islam.

Agreed. Unfortunately, Mill tends to be quite close-minded about these sort of things. That would be ok if he actually had a clue about what he was talking about. Unfortunately he doesn't

 

[Whitecloak]

Maybe both of you - dabuddha and mill, need to take up religion?
