well its basically the same yarn as the old testement (judaism) new testement (christianity). but. they believe jesus was a prophet, not the son of god. and they believe mohammed was the last prophet. mohammed is their spiritual leader, so to speak. 600 years after christ died, mohammed, a camel driver, was very interested in religion and often spoke to christians and jews whom he traded with. one day god summoned mohammed to the mountain and gave him the final instructions for humanity. hence the holy koran, the islamic bible. thats basically how it started. there are plenty of sites on the net if you want to read up on it. islam has some great beliefs aimed at family and community. for example, the ydont believe in putting their parents in old peoples homes...and letting their pets live in the house, like we do.... during the dark ages, it was islam, and its cities that held the worlds finest universities etc. when muslims prey they 'submit', bow down to god. i think islam means submission..? good luck with it.
as a very genral term, & im not saying all, but wherever there is a lot of muslims, there is also a lot of trouble, im not racist or religious, i have plenty of muslim friends, but unfortunantly thats how it is
Thanks for the explanation and quick history lesson. It's appreciated that you took your time to research and simplify it. Sounds interesting, but I suppose, like many religions, the main elements are the same. Points of difference is where the conflicts start and misunderstanding begins...sorry, probably a little philosophical but just wanted to express my thanks to you.
good thread, im glad im not the only dickhead who cant be serious very often. great wrap sally, i understand more now. did you say Monorail? MONORAIL..............MONORAIL!!!!!!
Religion, in itself if a load of bull****. Much the same as the current supply of world title. The off shoots, and branching out which relates to all religions, leaves a humble basis, generally dating back a few thousand years. Ideals have been altered to suit different charactors over the annums, and the financial aspect controls it as a whole. A total crock of vomit. A veiw, such as the Buddists have seems a little more acceptable, IMO... A way of life, a learning experience.... not a business. Who gives a rats arse if the Musilims wish to open another Mosque... Go ahead... If The Man has any interest in it, and any potential extremists, the outcome will be nothing more than several Sth American taxis being blown up.. Nothing substancial. Muslims are not any different to other religious followers. Conned, convinced and concieted.
BINGO! give the man a cigar It amazes me how many hollow people are out they searching for something to fill their empty lives.
Same mate. Lived there for a few years and got alot of pommy friends.. The difference between England and here is they dont take no **** from Muslim extremists.That crazy Muslim cleric that goes around saying all kinds of bull**** over here would get the chop by some pasty skin nut in the old Dart.
