After looking at the beautiful Islamic wall calendars recommended here, some readers have written in to ask if there are any simpler, free calendars available for download. In response to your requests, I've done up this reference calendar to help you keep track of the Islamic dates.

Taking this “eye for an eye” to the extreme, would an Arab woman who was raped (providing she had the appropriate number of pious Muslim men to testify for her) be able to rape the man who raped her? I’m sure the local adult toy store could supply her with “ammo” to do the deed!

It fits shariah law nicely… or does it!

Sorry to keep posting, but i just saw this line, and would like to respond to it:

“would an Arab woman who was raped (providing she had the appropriate number of pious Muslim men to testify for her) be able to rape the man who raped her? I’m sure the local adult toy store could supply her with “ammo” to do the deed”

I know very little of Islam as compared to alot of other people, but i think this statement is OBSURD!! Why try and suggest the raped woman become a rapist because she was raped?? Do you think a child who is raped should grow up to be Pedophile just because they were the subject of a pedohile? in this case you have proposed, you have taken a broken woman and suggest she become the devil himself. To me, being a woman who was raped as a child, I would love to know that my attackers were raped and beaten repetedly, just as I was, however that will only provide a mild, momentary comfort. That certainly doesnt mean i want to DO IT , or even watch… that is just SICK!!!! I find peace in the fact that God, or Allah, will punish the men in my honour, which, to me, is a far worse wrath than i could ever impose on them myself.

Mr. Burns
You make mention of the eye for an eye concept. I must remind you that it applies to certain aspects of Islam omly. The word Islam means peace. Perhaps you should try to understand our religion a bit better and be more accepting. Apart from it improving you as a person, it may save you a lot of trouble. I understand that you are ignorant and painfully narrow minded, but others may take you seriously.
