Islamic Studies gets $20M Gift

<p>Saudi Arabian Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud, is donating $20 million to Harvard to expand Islamic studies.</p>

<p>How nice of him..really, ppl should know more about Islam, and especially not the way the Media portrays it for us!</p>

<p>Well, you do believe that everyone who is not muslim will burn in hell. (Sunni friend told me).</p>

<p>Actually, the Qu'ran explicitely says that Christians and Jews can go to heaven as well. So <em>eeeh</em> wrong.</p>

<p>That's good. :) Cuz I'm def going to be taking a lot of classes in that department. Extra $20 mil wouldn't hurt.</p>

<p>Isn't that the same with most Christians too? Don't they think everyone is going to hell besides them?</p>

<p>DHA you need some islamic education..definitly!! And as karabas said...Christians and jews can go to heaven</p>

<p>what about buddhists??? fire and brimstone for them, eh?</p>

<p>which is why Islam rocks.</p>

<p>plus Arabic is just way cool.</p>

<p>Evangelicals and Mullahs all together........we need some education to truncate both extremes......what a great opportunity.</p>

<p>Thnx karabas thats flattering :P are u majoring in Arabic and Islamic studies?!</p>

<p>well it'd be dumb if a monotheistic religion approved of buddhism, wouldn't it?</p>

<p>so yes, fire and brimstone for buddhists.</p>

<p>IHS - I'm going into molec. bio, but I might double major in Arabic and islamic studies as well. I love the Middle East.</p>

<p>"...Christians and jews can go to heaven"</p>

<p>Right, of course they can, after they convert to Islam.</p>

<p>"Right, of course they can, after they convert to Islam."</p>

<p>No. Without converting. That's the whole point.</p>

<p>Christians are the bigoted ones in this sense, not Muslims.</p>

<p>DHA why are u so close minded</p>

<p>haha it happens in America.</p>

<p>SUICIDE BOMBERS ALL OF THEM!!! DONT GIVE THEM $20 MILLION, THEY WILL SPEND IT ON RESEARCHING NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!!!</p>

<p>WOW karabas, I need to learn some religion terms!!<em>embarassed</em></p>

<p>"WOW karabas, I need to learn some religion terms!!<em>embarassed</em>"</p>

<p>what did I say?</p>
