sperm comes from a rib in your back

Drear Dhimmi no more, I am interested to know about the claim in The Quran that sperm comes from a rib in our back. I hope you could provide me with the name of chapter (Sura) and the number of verse. From your article, I believe you have travelled to many Islamic countries - Malaysia, Indonesia, Sudan, Nigeria, Palestine, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran and Saudi Arabia. Is it safe for a non-muslim to travel in these countries? So when are you going to visit Iraq? Or perhaps Brunei?

I am from Malaysia. It is NOT TRUE that non-muslims in Malaysia are paying jizya, otherwise they could lose their life. However, they do paying the income tax like other Malaysian citizens. About getting a good job in the government, i think maybe it is TRUE that it is a bit difficult for a non-muslim to get a good job in the government. However, it is ALSO TRUE that it is difficult for a muslim to get a good job in a private companies dominated by the non-muslim. There are other factors why most of the non-muslims prefer not to work with the government. One of the factor is because of the low salary given by the government to government staffs. This apply to all, whether muslim or non-muslim. I think it is true that teaching Christianity in schools is forbidden. The non-muslim will be tought "moral education" in schools. I don't think there is a "Christian school" in Malaysia. Are you talking about ex-missionaries schools like La Salle, St. John, St. Mary, Convent etc? I was from La Salle where our principal was a missionary (Brother Felix J. Donohue - if I am not mistaken). I believe the Bible in Malaysia is not required to be stamped " NOT FOR MUSLIMS". Only the Bible placed in the hotel room is to be stamped "FOR NON-MUSLIM" if I am not mistaken. I hope you could verify any informations regarding Malaysia in the future. Rgds.
