    Shariah & Implications For Sikhs?

    Bro! Seems to me that you're wishing alot of pain on yourself!

    Islam What Else Is There If Not Friendship?

    Ok on that Ayat. It is better to be around people that share that common goal. ie. Other believers, if you have to choose. And i'll just add hopefully you will get positive things from this.
