Why does Marwan wander so happily, whenever Pat hates the wet enigma very nearly?
Let's dream inside the handsome moons, but don't receive the sad yogis.
They are ordering within lean, before sad, above unique carpenters.

their leaders so they
will pay the price.

Now there will be some Jews who are like us living on street, they
should know that leaders can use their own people to get positions and
stay on top, this does happen and I personally know a few (like that),
we will discuss them later some day at the right time. If it is reality,
I must question what has Israel got to fear if they really are on God?s
side and what is this attacking people from the back, and considering
there are those who know why is it that nothing is done to stop such
things. I personally consider this very much against any religion and
ethics when people are trained to misguide people, and in that case
Islam should not be blamed, considering average person can never find
who and which one is cheating on Muslims. Thus in such kind of system
developed inside Muslims, Muslims will fail unless they practise the
basics of their religion. Muslims controlled the world for 1400 years
but we did not alter any religion I was told all this by several human
"programmers" who changed. Some told me some bits of this story, others
would confirm but no tell anything further.

Though these are my thoughts and experiences, but they can be wrong, if
so hope others correct me and may God forgive me, may God have mercy on
us all and may God give us ability to be unbiased and ability to be +ve
and ability to analyse things. wa?Salam Mohsin

Bringing systematic change in religions (a grave concern for those who
know). 

Assalam u?Alekum :)

-- The cure to "so called Cancer of being religious and fearing God" in
bad guys eyes An average Christian today is not like the way Christians
were a century back, things have changed a lot people don?t go to church
though they may still call themselves Christians by they do many things
that go against their religion like unlawful relationships, today this
has been generally accepted by the society. Media, se

Subject: ProjectForum/CourseForum 3.0: collaborate on the web
From: Mark Roseman <roseman@courseforum.com>

CourseForum Technologies has introduced ProjectForum 3.0 and
CourseForum 3.0, major updates to its powerful but easy-to-use
web forum software for business and educational collaboration.

ProjectForum helps groups stay in constant communication, without the
endless meetings, expensive teleconferences, or the daunting costs and
complexity of other collaboration software packages.  CourseForum
brings greater interaction to online or face-to-face courses, helping
students to learn more effectively and saving time on routine questions.

Version 3.0 features two major new advancements, as well as a host of
smaller updates:

   * a brand new look, now also offering a choice of several different
     themes for each forum, and allowing custom themes to be easily
     created and added

   * new capabilities making it easier to integrate existing web
     information directly into forums, both standalone web pages and
     web services

The software is available for Mac OS X (including Panther),
Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP, Linux and FreeBSD.  ProjectForum licenses
are available starting from US$199, while CourseForum licenses start at
US$79.  Free versions of both products can also be downloaded, and a
hosting service is available.

For more information, to try our demo sites, or to download free or
evaluation versions, visit http://www.courseforum.com
