Hi, I’m just curious as to what the religion of Islam has to say about a woman’s menstrual cycle. Does it have any meaning or significance? Thanks!

Also, during Ramadan, does fasting have any affect on the menstrual cycle?

What happens to a person who makes a joke, uses humor or writes a negative book about islam? What happens to a person who questions that religion or chooses not to participate? The answer to all those questions is the person will be put to death. To me that is total dictatorship and an authoritarian form of rule. So how can any one say that islam is a peaceful religion?
These are not speculations. Remember Salomon Rashdi? He wrote a negative book about islam and there was a bounty on his head. Try being a non believer in Iran, Iraq and others. See how long it will be before you are stoned or beheaded.
I am not a muslim!! I do not subscribe to any religious affiliation.
Black bird: Very well said. Extremely intelligent comment. You got the best answer in the bag! :)

Robert asked:


Islam. Gods words are to not kill but Mohamed wrote that god says its OK?
According to the Ten Commandments, “Thou shall not kill”. But according to Islam its OK to kill under certain circumstances. Why?

If it is not in the Koran thats it is ok to kill. Why are honor killings, killings of converts, killings of gays for example permitted.
If god/religeon says its ok to kill. Are people maybe being manipulated by the devil. Because everyone knows what is right and killing is not right.
