Dear muslimsince92, ... ( 3 days ago by manoftruth888)
Dear muslimsince92, u ask 4 it and u receive: Sura 4 verse 3 mentions right-hand possession. Do u know what is that? They didn't tell u that it refers to sex slaves with whom u can have sex at ur will with no need for marriage. Second, in Islam there is no marriage but "nukah" (in Arabic
نكاح) which means the f-word. So u know the quran uses filthy language. Copy paste it in translate(dot)google and see what this Arabic word means. It's in ur quran.
If all of the ... ( 3 days ago by chernobleman)
If all of the external imperfections that we perceive is the will of Allah, then there is no need for scripture, a messenger, prayer, or redemption in the first place. All religions are manmade illusions that are simply used as a form of government and unification for survival or conquering lands. peoples' interpretations don't reveal the "truth" of a supposed revelation, but it tells us who the beholder (you) is. If we had a list of rules from god to submit to, then we wouldn't learn anything.
Excuse me, but the ... ( 3 days ago by EddyBritt)
Excuse me, but the christians who are harrassing women who have abortions and those who can't tolerate anykind of difference and who allowed slavery to be what it was are inspired by God. They're the same people who were disgusted by gay marriage... There isn't any single religious community who hasn't misinterpreted the original message from the holy books. And not all the history of my prophet is about what you say, that's only what you wanna talk about, u should mention the truth.
Dear EddyBritt, u r ... ( 3 days ago by manoftruth888)
Dear EddyBritt, u r right, abortion and gay marriage is not accepted in Christianity but God called us to love all people especially those people who do not do His will. This does not mean that the Holy Bible calls for harassing people living against Christian values, but loving them and witnessing for His love in front of God and people. Politicizing religion is against Christian Faith.
Concerning the ... ( 3 days ago by manoftruth888)
Concerning the history or ur prophet, harsh violence and sexual obsession are his main charateristics. I urge u to read Hadith and search for more, and not take things they tell u as granted. This man is an evil monster, he came to prevent salvation from humankind through the Lord Jesus Christ. Look in ur religion, there is no pure love. Religion without love is not a religion, it is a pack of evil barbaric brainwashing teachings. Just try to read Gospel of St. John and u'll see the difference
So I assume you ... ( 3 days ago by EddyBritt)
So I assume you were lying to me when you said "I do respect u as a Muslim". Thanks for bringing the clash of civilisation on youtube. Thanks a lot. That's all we needed....
Dear EddyBritt, I ... ( 2 days ago by manoftruth888)
Dear EddyBritt, I do respect U as a Muslim but I never never never accept Muhammad as a prophet. His actions and teachings tell all the truth about him. Never accept a prophet that describes heaven as a sex club. Never accept a pedophile and bloodsheder as a prophet and "master of messengers"! I DO RESPECT the differences between our mentalities and ideologies but NEVER ACCEPT Muhammad as messenger of Almighty God. I just express what I see about Muhammad but it's not against u personally.
It's illogical: if ... ( 2 days ago by EddyBritt)
It's illogical: if you don't respect him as a prophet = you don't respect Islam = you don't respect muslims. To be honest, when I see how fast and how stupidly you jump to the conclusions, I'd rather be disrespected by someone who knows my religion than be respected by someone who knows nothing, takes words out of their context and sums up my religion so quickly. But I won't get into the rage I feel. U want me to do that. But you won't win. I won't give you what you want: my hatred.
Dear EddyBritt, I ... ( 2 days ago by manoftruth888)
Dear EddyBritt, I accept (and also respect) you as a brother (I said BROTHER), but I can NEVER accept Muhammad as a prophet FROM GOD. This is quite logical. Look at his actions and judge him. What good things did he brought to humanity which were not brought by Judaism and Christianity??? What is new in Islam? Is it about virgins in heaven? or about slaughtering infidels? or about marrying children? or rather about having sex with right-hand possessions??? Answers needed!
I don't need to ... ( 2 days ago by manoftruth888)
I don't need to respect ur prophet to respect u. I respect u as human with other ideas. That's all. I don't have to submit to Islam in order to accept you as brother. This is the problem in Islam: brotherhood is only in Islam. You can't have an infidel brother! Where do I take words out of context. I'm telling facts about Muhammad (violence and sexual obsession). If I'm wrong tell me where I am wrong. I don't want ur hatred, just want light into ur heart to deliver u from trap of Islam.
Array ( 2 days ago by EddyBritt)
LoL
I don't need U. Brotherhood exists for me and I have brotherhood for many people, different people all over the places, friends and families and I don't want anything from you, keep your light for those you think you can help. If you really respect me, then please, ignore me, PLEASE I'M BEGGIN YOU
.
That's the typical ... ( 2 days ago by manoftruth888)
That's the typical Islamic mentality: no brotherhood outside Islam. Still no answers for my simple question: what is new in Islam? U can close ur eyes, ur ears, ur nose, but at the end of the day u have to face ur destiny. Now it's time to consider whether u want to share the same fate as Muhammad or seek deliverance from God. U can dip ur head deep in soil, just like ostrich, but this doesn't answer the question: what is new in Islam that's not existing in Judaism and Christianity?
Mohammed was a ... ( 2 days ago by Gyllenhorn)
Mohammed was a disgusting pedphile and he doesnt even deserves to be called a human. If you have an IQ over roomstemperature you know this. Or do you think its ok to marry a 9 year old. I wish you and your disgusting Islam Family dies of aids!!! Allah Cuntbar
Why am I aimless? ... ( 2 days ago by Rocketeer1001)
Why am I aimless? Why am I hopeless? Do you have any proof that I am going suffer eternal hellfire for making fun of that ham-dog (btw my former) religion? LOL, and do you actually believe in that fairy tale shit about judgment day before Allah? Talk about pot calling the kettle black. But then again, maybe you oughta go to Faith Freedom International go there and give ur head a shake.
manoftruth why ... ( 2 days ago by sickseid)
manoftruth why don't you do ur research and findout and since you don't believe in the prophet (pbuh) u can't be considered a brother the one and only true religion is islam and i say without anger or stress.the messiah (pbuh)preached the same as abraham and moses did (pbuthem) except that he muhammad perfected the religion original books were tampered with (torah)and (gospel) do ur research and then speak,along with everything else u just typed do ur research, if u have questions ask please!

I have now confirmed that you had and are having difficult and confusing life. No matter what you do or say, nobody would care about a not so genuine and authentic person. Instead of scapegoating a religion and its followers for your miseries, pay attention to yourself and seek some peace and soul searching within you. Lashing out at me or others would simply aggravate your condition..... may Allah give you some peace!
Here is a question. ... ( 1 day ago by BenJr01)
Here is a question. You said that the orginal books were tampered with? But you also say that Muhammad perfected the religion of Islam? So in reallity he did the same thing as Abraham and Moses, he tampered with the words? And I say this with out anger or stress, and only respect. I'm just trying to understand.

yes,original books were tampered,not by prophet Abraham or Moses but by their followers after some time bcaz they want to have an lifestyle of their own. and all muslims beleive in this fact that all books were changed bcaz Quran says that they were changed and there are various scientific and mathematical errors in bible and in other books that will urge u to believe that they were really changed, and book of god cant have a single error.if you read Quran in language that you can easily
understand so that ... ( 20 hours ago by spyhunt14)
understand so that you can know what Quran and ISlam is actually about rather then knowing it from the haters of Islam.you will find various verses in Quran abt science dat r prooved to be fact now whereas they were revealed 1400 yrs back when there was not a single reliable scientific equipment. for what ever is done by alqaeda and taliban is not Islam.read Quran with mind and you will find that Islam is the only religion that says men and women are not equal but they have equal rights.

Tips to help you create better videos

1. Eye Candy.
Think about some of your favorite videos, ask yourself, what interesting shots and b-roll need to be captured to make your video entertaining to watch.

2. Good Lighting.
The main difference between amateur and professional videos is the quality of the lighting. Poor lighting creates graininess and poor quality videos too. (*Hint* In most studios, the lights and the cameras can be adjusted up and down to get the correct amount of light.) For your home studio make use of fluorescent light bulbs. These bulbs produce a nice soft light with no harsh shadows. You can buy fluorescent light kits or you can save a lot of money and make your own fluorescent light box. It is best to use a three point lighting system which is fairly standard in most studios.

3. Tripod.
Use a tripod for shake free shooting. Tripods come in all sizes and quality. Most camcorders used today are only small and weigh very little so there is no need to buy a tripod to suit a heavy professional video camera.

4. Microphone.
The built in microphone on your camcorder is not the best to use if you can avoid it. Buy a directional one that can be mounted on top of your camcorder. Otherwise mount the microphone on a boom or support just out of view of the camcorder but close to the subject. Another option is to use a microphone that clips onto your lapel and as used by newsreaders on television. These are very effective and can be purchased for less than $50. No need to buy a wireless unit, but you need enough cable to run from the camcorder remote microphone, up the inside of your shirt and to your lapel. Bear in mind that you will normally be seated within six feet of the camcorder so the microphone should have plenty of cable.

5. Avoid Zooming and Panning.
Avoid zooming in and out and panning from side to side as much as possible. It is recommended that you set the zoom prior to recording.

6. Pre-Roll and Post-Roll.
Allow a few extra seconds after starting and before stopping the camcorder and the actual start and finish of the action you want to record. This allows for better editing once the shooting is over. Not allowing for the pre-roll and post-roll can make editing difficult. If you are filming yourself then start the camcorder recording with the remote control, wait six seconds before you start talking and at the end let the camcorder run an extra six seconds before stopping. This will give you plenty of time when editing.

7. Remember It is A Small Screen.
When shooting videos to add to your web site, normally the player will be 320 x 240 so avoid wide scenes, keep it close to see the detail. If you are filming yourself talking, you should be within six feet of the camera and preferably from the waist up. Keep the content simple and uncomplicated, do not have much happening in the video and keep it quiet-on-the-set.

8. Think Like a Photographer.
When shooting a video, do it like a photographer taking individual shots. Plan your video shoot, record for a short while from one position then stop recording, reposition the camera or yourself then shoot again. This will reduce excessive camera movement in your video. Using these tips will ensure that you can shoot and produce quality website videos of a better quality than most people. Remember, practice makes perfect and soon you will be getting great results on the first take.

9. Look at the Details.
Sometimes, you are so focused on your subject that you do not notice the surrounding elements of the scene. Only later, when you are reviewing the footage do you notice an unsightly trash can in the background or a tree sticking out of your subjects head. I like to scan the video screen carefully before shooting to make sure there is nothing in the shot that I may have overlooked. You may be surprised what you find!

Use our search feature, at the top of the page, to find videos about your favorite topics. There are tons of videos, for example, type in "Bikini contest", "Body building", "Guitar lesson", or "How to (anything)". Search for "Commercial", you will see cool ads and funny commercials. Notice the video techniques used to capture each video, you may very well find many helpful tips and tricks to use as well as many techniques to avoid when making your own videos... have fun.
