Well, you could say that the Bible is the word of God translated by humans, which is why not everything is to be taken at face value.
I have to say that I'm not a believer though.

In many cases the new testement overrides the old.. for example in Old it is a cheek for a cheek but in the new it is turn the other cheek... The bible can be interperted by those reading it.. same with the Koran.. each finds different meaning to it...Quote:

Its almost as if she thinks Christian is poisoning her sons mind.
Sad to say that is the way a lot of people think.. they think you can catch been gay by been around a gay person.. The amount of times I have heard Dads saying they would kick their sons out if they were gay.. As long as my kids were happy I couldn't give a crap about their sexuality
I think thats men with their boys for you. Were experiencing it with Phil and Ben at the moment. Most men think there sons should be macho, be into football and stuff, an interest in ballet is often deemed weird lol. I think most fathers get over it in time, the ideal that they have in their heads. Expectant parents often say, I want a boy to dress in blue and take to the football, its a stereotype. Parents want their children to survive in the real world and being gay is a hard thing to deal with. My mum said to me when I was thinking about my sexuality, well if your not sure I think its best to be straight, and she is the most understanding person, she has no problem with homosexuality whatsoever, but you want the best for your children. You want them to be happy, but being straight is the ideal.
Wow! good episode. The Masoods, Chelsea, Jack and Ronnie all sorts going on.
is it just me or how did chelsea know whose test was whose??
I said the same last night.. she put the two of them in the same pocket and passed one to Amira.. but was that hers???Quote:

Is Christian Syed first gay experience or was he with men before he came to Walford? Was Syed and Amira suppose to be a virgins when they married?
Old question now but was it ever revealed who set Janine up for Archie's murder?
i think Amira was supposed to be a virgin, plus she stil seems quite naive about sex etc even though she is married now. Not sure about Syed, plus i'm sure he said to Christian at some point that he had felt that way about men before, not sure if he'd done anything though.Quote:

I think Syed did all the chasing after Christian at the start even kissing him first yes?????
I'm sure that Syed said to Christian early on that he'd had several one night stands with men. He definitely hadn't been with a woman before Amira. I'm so glad that he seems to have finally made up his mind to come out.Quote:

I thought like everyone else here that the pregnancy tests got mixed up.
Must have got the tests mixed up, the way Chelsea just stuffed them into the pocket and rather predictable as a storyline :lol:
I am puzzled by this cause she seemed to know automatically which one was Amira's.. anyone would be like, not sure which one is which and take a second test... unless she has two pockets on her smockQuote:

Yeh kinda weird that they would have had both the pregnancy tests being stuffed into the smock. Why bother doing that if there wasnt going to be some sort of mix up? Im not sure though cos Amiras leaving in like 2 days so whether they have time to do anything like that, its doubtful. Reallly enjoyed tonights episode. Everyone was involved, Jane finally made a reappearance. Where has she been while everythings been going on with Christian lately? Completely randoms turned up 2nite, people we havent seen for agesss. Syed is really fickle, he makes up his mind to come clean about him and Christian and then all of sudden again going for Amira. Its obvious that he was heading back to Christian though as soon as Amira announced she wasnt pregnant. Im loving the way Masood is handling things. He remains so calm, even though he was falling apart before within the mosque. But he puts on a brave face for his family and tries to do his best to look after his family. I really like him.
I wish Syed had told Mas that Zainah knew all along
The actors playing Syed and Christian are doing a great job
So did Christian let the writing on the wall be seen by Amira?
It looked like it to me.
That was a really good episode - especially the ending!!
Nice to see Libby back from Oxford....:wall:
Definitely. The last shot of Christian in the flat was him upset (after Syed had told him he was going to be a father and husband), and looking at the wall that had the graffiti underneath the wallpaper. Then next time we see the wall, the graffiti had been revealed.Quote:

They were all brilliant. Nina Wadia is so good and of course Marc Elliot.
Nice to see Jane finally. I wondered where she was in all of this.
Please get rid of that screeching Fatboy. He is the most annoying figure in a long long time. Even more so than Chelsea! So you can imagine how much I want to see him go!!
I like Fatboy, I think he's funny. Brings a lightheartedness to the show.
I really wish Chelsea wasnt pregnant. Its such a pointless storyline. It would have been much better if it was Amira.
wait a minute,, we do not know for a FACT that Chelsea is preggo,, it still may be Amira that is pregnant, remember when Denise came in Chels stuffed the EPT into her smock,, so the tests could have gotten mixed up ?????Quote:

I agree that Nina did a brilliant job !!!!!!!! I am just waiting till Massood finds out that Zanib knew about Syed all along.
He always forgives her. At least up till now!!Quote:

at least she left in a Mercedes not a black mini cab...I knew Amira was preggers not Chelsa..btw when did Chelsa and Amira become such good "girl friends" must have fell asleep when they "bonded" I thought the acting in general was pretty good, ( ok Preeya had alot more to say this time and she had to "act") My partner said that this was probably the best episode he had seen in a while..he said Zanib is going to really GET IT soon when Mass finds out shes been aware of Syed's behavior since before he got married.. I have a feeling we are in for some really good stuff the next few weeks..
Tamwar and Libby were the supportive siblings tonight
I wished Syed would have told everyone that his mother Zainab forced him to marry Amira. I cant wait for her to get caught out.
Great acting from Syed and Christian tonight.
It was a brilliant episode and I could really feel the emotion at the end when the Masoods were talking about shame. The acting was so realistic.
I didn't get any emotion from Amira at all, I found her over dramatised, wooden and empty, especially when Christian told her Syed is gay. She left me out in the cold and I couldn't empathise with her at all.
That episode was amazing!! i loved every minute of it. I loved the way they did that whole Chelsea/Amira pregnancy thing. I didnt think they could do it cos Amira was leaving tonight, but they managed to pull it off in a very realistic way. Amira knew that she now had something that Syed didnt, a family.
I dont think the Masoods will turn their back on Syed, I think Masood is quite compassionate. Zanaib is different, but we'll see. I loved how Tamwar said that Syed was brave for what he did. I wasnt sure how his reaction would be, but I know those two have always been very close. It was a very sweet moment.
I didnt like the way Christian behaved tonight. I know its been building up for a long time, Syed has treated him badly but it wasnt fair to probe Amira in that way. He should of backed off so they could deal with things properly.
Amazing episode, wow Amira I just felt so sorry for her. She really made me feel for her, she believed so much in her husband and marriage, now she will have her baby far far away from Syed. Feel so sorry for the whole family, Christian did the wrong thing he handled it all wrong and now he doesn't have Syed/Amira as a friend and most probably a job @ Masala Queen.
Tamwar is my hero. He was very brave last night and the only one to show some compassion and sense.
Very emotional episode last night and great acting all round.. it was totally believable and I felt for each character... Agree with Parkerman.. Tamwar was my hero too.. to stand up and say that Syed was brave was brilliant.. Hope himself and Syed continue to have a relationship even if Syed is rejected by the whole community
i thought it was brilliant, Amira was rubbish though, no emotion at all so wooden, but shes gone now so thats the main thing.
Thought Tamwar was brilliant,
I just couldnt feel sorry for Amira her acting was terrible and cringeworthy compared to that of Christian and Syed
I felt for Amira.. she was so desperate to keep her husband.. and I didn't understand why she was so pathetic and clingy until she said that she is now tainted and will be her father's unpaid servant.. Then I began to realise why she was willing to live a lie tooQuote:
