India - Early Sultans, Turkish Rule, Subcontinent: When Quṭb al-Dīn Aybak assumed authority over the Ghūrid possessions in India, he moved from the neighbourhood of Delhi to Lahore. There he set up guard against another of Muḥammad of Ghūr’s slaves, Tāj al-Dīn Yildiz of Ghazna, who also claimed his former master’s Indian possessions. In 1208 Quṭb al-Dīn defeated his rival and captured Ghazna but soon was driven out again. He died in 1210 in a polo accident, having made no effort to extend his Indian conquests, but he had managed to establish the foundation of an Indian Muslim state.

let's get this out there: I'm a Christian. I voted no on 8. why? because no matter what the Bible says about homosexuality, we're all sinners. your pastors and priests are sinners according to the Bible. ("ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" does anyone remember Sunday School AT ALL?) so how can you judge someone who is, as far as God is concerned, your exact equal? I won't lie, it's written in Leviticus that you shouldn't lie with another man. however, let he who has no sin cast the first stone. it isn't our place to judge others. if they're sinning, that's their problem, and you don't have to deal with it. they'll be dealt with, for lack of a better phrase, by God in due time. embrace the sinner, but don't embrace the sin. don't forget, in Matthew 7 it's written "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged." to everyone who voted Yes on prop 8, you should be ashamed of yourself. you helped to take away the rights of millions of Californians, including people you probably work with, are friends with, live next door to, go to school with, or eat with. in spite of your religious affiliation, you should have read the text on your ballot. the very first words were "Takes away the right." okay, stop. ANYTHING that takes away a RIGHT is INHERENTLY WRONG. I'm not asking anyone to 'like' homosexuality, but as Americans you should respect your fellow man [or woman]. personally, I think a gay couple making out in public is really uncomfortable. for that matter, I think a straight couple making out in public is really uncomfortable. but who am I, or anyone else, to say that one person isn't allowed to love another just like everyone else?
