Thankz Mr. drame for ur kind offer but i don't need any Quran at this moment hence i have one of my own. Nonetheless, expressing my views critically does not in anyway or form signifies my religious standpoint. The Quran is holy and i uphold that believing too but i still don't think that it expresses all my doubts as u happen to imply in ur response. If by chance u had a better understanding on the marital status of Bilal why don't u simply tell us hence the question at hand were; 1.Was Bilal ever married and if so with whom? 2.Did he had any offsprings? 3.Or did he died as a bachelor? I think with ur vast knowledge of the Quran u should be in a position to shed a better understanding on the matter. I, on the other hand, will take ur advise and do some little bit more Quranic readings to help me understand/clarify my doubts since u did not provide me with any except branding me as a non-muslim in my quest of knowledge. Also, I did not make any misleading or unfound theories about Islam or anybody per se. What i tried to do was simply express my understanding as to Bilal's social status among those RACIST people whom I can attest have never completely accepted Bilal as an EQUAL due his SKIN COLOR!!!!!! However, since it seems that u know all the nitty gritty of Islam than i do, I am then hereby appealing to u to TEACH ME!!!!! kittos Peter >From: yeks drame <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: BILAL >Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 13:15:16 PDT > >Peter, > >If you are non Muslim which I guess you are, try and find out more about >Islam before making such misleading and unfound theories. > >Can you please tell me which religious book in the face of the earth except >the holly Quran that has a solution to the question you are raising? read >the Quran brother and I promise, any thing that you want to know you will >find the answer there!!!!!
