My friends are all bible burning atheists.
My friends are all bible burning atheists.
I had a classmate in high school who was a Muslim. He was a pretty normal, friendly guy. I did not have deep religious discussions with him, though. Just based on normal smalltalk, it wasn't readily apparent he was Muslim, but it was when you saw his mother. I'm not sure how conservative his family was, but I would be surprised if he was.
My first interwebs boyfriend was a Muslim. This was right after 9-11, so it caused a bit of tension! It also coincided with the time that I started to get into churchy things, which didn't help. That makes it sound like we were constantly fighting, but it was really pretty much sickeningly sweet for over a year!
I remember when he went to his cousin's wedding and wrote me a big long e-mail about everything that went on, and when he said that if he were a good muslim, he'd head to Afghanistan. You can imagine how I felt then!
A good chunk of my friends, i.e. about 35-40% of my fraternity, are rich, liberal Jews, some are Christians, some are agnostics or atheists, and I don't have any Muslim friends, but I do have some Muslim acquaintances, they seem like cool cats.
I always had the feeling that Chris was some sort of Muslim... I don’t know why

I can't say I know any Muslim people in my day to day life
In fact, I think the most I've ever had to do with the Muslim faith is well reading what you've said about it on here Rod
I'm going to a Christian college in Springfield, Mo, one of the places called the Buckle of the Bible Belt, and home of both the Assemblies of God and the Baptist Bible Fellowship. I know no Muslim's sadly, though I've dabbled in the Quran and wanna read the whole thing someday.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
Dated a muslim girl & we're still pretty close.
Oh, and I know it's not the religion but the race....Persian girls are smurfing STUNNINGLY beautiful.
I consider you a friend Bunny!! So there you have a Muslim friend!
Fujiko is right with her statement and I'm impressed. Do you study history or something related to it.. I would love to live in Sweden though!
@Chulchulainn: I'm Half PersianBUT I'm Stunningly Cute GUY! ROFL!!
@Jiro & Rase: Well I support that you guys should do your own investigation about our religion...In actuality the Quran is very liberal, its those damn Mullahs and Extremist that take it mess the whole thing up!
@Rubah: Going to Afghanistan means getting brainwashed...Seriously unless you work for legit organization that helps to rebuild a nation rather then let regress into what it has become..Kabul use to be pretty nice an one time...
Same goes to Tehran , Iran before the revolution... I get pissed to this day of what the youth generation did to that country..And in the end they got smurfed and now they regret it!!

Sweet, don't be angry, it's not too healthy~Originally Posted by scrumpleberry
Also I have to say that ramadan fasting makes me anger because I have one poor friend who is just exhausted and pissed off all the time and can't function properly and it's bullimo, but it's none of my business and understand that it's for being closer to got or something so *shrug* She never reports EXTRA SPIRITUAL HAPPINESS during ramadan to me though
If your friend knew what the Quran says about fasting, he/she would know that those incapable of fasting long hours should not fast at all. There are other ways one can show humility and to care for the poor; if you can manage, you fast, if not then there are other ways.
Well anyway, during the fasting month, Ramadan, one fasts not only to, one month every year, feel what it's like for the poor all around the world, but 'cause fasting is good for the health. Also when you fast it teaches you to appreciate what you have that many in the world don't; during this month you shouldn't work too much, you are not to fight and argue over little things, but rather be as good a person you can toward others and yourself; to reflect over your relationships with others and to make amends.
For those not practicing the faith or if you're not fasting, it's easy to only see that those who are fasting are deprived of food so long the sun is up, and that's that. But hun', Ramadan is much more than that; it teaches you alot of very important and good aspects in life, and it reminds you to be a better person, in so many ways.Again, appreciation~ And to be thankful~
So don't be so angry, and if your friend really isn't functioning properly, as per your own words, he/she shouldn't fast at all. Tadaa~
No, I know all that because I am one.
And I'm sure you'd like it in Sweden~

I'm sorry, I've been indoctrinated in the scripture of Pat Condell, and therefore all followers of Islam are free-speech-hating terror lords.
there was a picture here
One of the local branches of my family is Muslim. Their pretty traditional, wear the traditional clothes and such. They come straight outta Pakistan and married into my super white family. My cousin, the white one that married the Pakistani one, owns a Muslim grocery store in Corona. I applied for a job teaching at the local Muslim school but it didn't work out. I have a solid handful of Muslim friends.
So, yeah, I guess you could say I'm down with the Muslims or something. But you probably could have guess that, Rod. xD
Side note, at TheAbominatrix's trailer park I saw a bumper sticker that said "NO MUSLAMS NO TERRORISTS" and I lol'd.
moar lyk no musLAMBS imho
it'd be a sheep that has muslin instead of wool.
That man is a hero of free speech.
Straight up honesty from me here; I have Muslim friends. I get on with them, some I would consider my best friends. But it is in spite of their Muslim background. The Islamic religion, from what I've read of the Quran, is offensive to my sensibilities on every level imaginable. Although I imagine you don't take everything in the Quran literally (most liberal Muslims are the same way), I can't say that the ideology endears itself in the least. In short I'll respect Muslim "people" but I don't respect the belief system.
There is no signature here. Move along.
