Hey ppl im a new member! just working my way around this site lol...i love writing articles and poems...any ideas on how i could get started straight away lol?

Someone on some other thread who calls themselves "Power of Silence" says I should intro, so here goes:

As you pass through a lonely alley late at night and hear footsteps, tip tap, tip tap right behind you, you turn around and see no one there, chances are it's THE RIPPER!!!!!!!!!

I love what fear does to a person, ever seen a cornered cat? A mother cougar defending her cubs against a grizzly bear?
A rape victim?

Look into her eyes just before you slash her throat!!
Scared, yet hopeful, will she fight? will she give in? moments of desperation, she actually looks at you hoping for mercy, almost as if you are god, her life in your hands, she will do anything to live another day.
The cold steel blade passes through her throat, with no resistance at all, almost like a hot knife through butter, she does not resist anymore, she accepts her fate, she accepts her fate....

My name is osama and I'm new here. I just wanted to introduce myself. I had been reading through the forums and it seems like a good place so I hope that Inshallah I can benefit from this.

Just some guidelines for the moderators:

1. Moderators should restrict editing/deletion of posts/threads to anything that is not in accordance of The Rules of the revival forums.

2. Moderators should add a unique signature every post they edit or delete. This is to try to limit any confusion.

3. The Revival is an Islamic non-secetarian forum and Moderators should always have this in mind when carrying out any official action.

4. Locking a thread is generally prefered to deletion as it allows members the chance to appeal to have the thread un-locked. However in some circumstances deletion may be the only option.

PM me if anyone has other suggestions.

Words are a very powerful tool. They can portay understanding, and show feelings. Only if you understand them.

Some words and terms used on these forums:

This is just a quick guideline for people thinking what to name their accounts as.

1. Make sure its not unislamic/rude.
2. make sure the name you choose is not too obvious

We currently have Muslim Sister, muslimsister MuslimSisLisSis, MuslimBrother, muslim_kuri, (dizzy_kuri,) muslima, muslim.

Now in a conversation, its easy to forget who is who. I forget regularly. :oops:

3. Make sure you will not be embarrassed by it.
4. If you have a nickname that you like, just use it.
5. Feel free to look at the memberlist up there ^^^ it will let you know if there is already a name too similar to yours.
