Back to hobbies ... and Life

Finally got a decent photo of our black pug. He's a beut! He has to think about things alot before dealing with them. He has to sniff and sniff and sniff on a spot and think about what it all means. While the boston terrier would just take a quick sniff and head out looking for things to eat or things to chase. The collar he wears has lots of spikes on it ... just to keep Sheba from chewing on it or using it to pull him around.

Koran (Qur'an) 9:11

I'm not a follower of the Prophet Mohammad,
but the following internet lie really irks me:

The following is ABSOLUTELY FALSE:

Koran ( 9:11 ) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the People trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle Cleansed the lands of Allah; And there Was peace.


THE TRUE VERSE IS:

Qur'an 9:11. "But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practice regular charity -- They are your brethren in the Faith: (Thus) do We explain the signs in detail, for those who understand."

12. "But if they violate their oaths after their covenant, and taunt your faith -- fight ye the chiefs of unfaith: for their oaths are nothing to them: that thus they may be restrained."

translation from Arabic by Abdullah Yūsuf 'Alī 1939
