In 628 C.E. Prophet Muhammad (s) granted a Charter of Privileges to the monks of St. Catherine Monastery in Mt. Sinai. It consisted of several clauses covering all aspects of human rights including such topics as the protection of Christians, freedom of worship and movement, freedom to appoint their own judges and to own and maintain their property, exemption from military service, and the right to protection in war.
An English translation of that document is presented below.
This is a message from Muhammad ibn Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, near and far, we are with them.
Verily I, the servants, the helpers, and my followers defend them, because Christians are my citizens; and by Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them.
No compulsion is to be on them.
Neither are their judges to be removed from their jobs nor their monks from their monasteries.
No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims' houses.
Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God's covenant and disobey His Prophet. Verily, they are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate.
No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight.
The Muslims are to fight for them.
If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, it is not to take place without her approval. She is not to be prevented from visiting her church to pray.
Their churches are to be respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants.
No one of the nation (Muslims) is to disobey the covenant till the Last Day (end of the world).

This is in line with the alternate "Dark Sucker" theory which can be read on the web. The Sun does not emit light, it "Sucks Dark" And when it has sucked enough dark it becomes a Black Hole which continually emits Dark.
Will we see a major rewrite for the next version of Farenheit 451 slated for 2008?

Is this why it was named "Kindle"?
Is there room for product placement in the new movie?
In this neo-futuristic dystopian society what temperature does a Kindle burn at?
So many questions....
Consider ???
I already don't visit the US unless absolutely, extremely, very, necessary and only after my boss has asked 5 times for the date of travel.
As for personal visits...perish the thought.
Why ?
The VISIT program is nothing compared the NSEER that i have to go through! even though i AM an Canadian Citizen.
Blame it on the Muslims and you can get away with anything!!!
Why should the holocaust offend the Muslims ?
They had absolutely nothing to do with it.
But its a sad truth that these days that if you blame it on them, you can get away with anything and everything.
What the British and the Americans need to focus on is, who wants to forget the holocaust and who wants to tar the muslims with an event of which they had nothing to do with.!!
Being a muslim from Pakistan, we saw graphic image of the holocaust on our own Govt. run TV. No denial there.
We learnt about it our (so called) third world schools, no denial there, Although not part of the official curriculum, the holocaust was discussed by teachers if it came up, and no denial there either.
Please teach if you want, or don't teach of you don't want to, but please don't blame Muslims for this (it just makes us even more Paranoid!)
