TacticalUrbanHomo posted:Many people in what we nebulously refer to as "the west" never learn much about Islam; about the most that many learn about it is that it is the dominant religion in the Middle East. I find people are often surprised to learn that it's also deeply embedded in Africa, the steppes of Asia, and southeast Asia, as well. In regards to Muslim theology, most people in the Christian world seem to realise that Islam is an extant branch of Judaism, which is great. Most are aware of the reverence of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, although some are under the erroneous impression that Muslims worship Muhammad, like an Arab Jesus. Speaking of Jesus, many are also aware that Jesus (or Isa, in the Arabic) is also revered as Prophet in the Quran. And most recognise the Quran, or at least its name, as the Islamic "Bible". If you're an English-speaking non-Muslim and you know more about it than that, I'd say you're ahead of the game. Let's learn more about one of the world's great religions. lets not .

op what's the name of that one dish that's like a big mound of rice/meat/spices that's cooked all together then served upside down on a big platter? I had it at a ramadan related feast with a palestinian family and it was incredibly good but I don't know what it was called to look up the recipe

Thanks for the thread OP. As a former Catholic I've always been fascinated with Islam. I like how seriously they take the faith and how it can be applied to every day life in a way that doesn't seem as trite as Christianity. I think Catholicism went to poo poo after Vatican II when they added a bunch of stuff about purgatory and, I mean, have you read the Cathechism of the Catholic church or however you spell that? It's pants on head retarded and like a bad sequel to Leviticus. I have a facebook friend I randomly added because of his pictures of homing pigeons and he's a Muslim living in Morocco that loves Allah and also posting pictures of pigeons. I honestly enjoy his posts of things like "Have a blessed Friday" followed by a pic of a rad pigeon. That's my Islam and pigeon story. Thanks for reading.

They were not allowed to leave their homes without a male relative or be seen in public without a burqa. For defying the regime's repressive laws, women were openly flogged and executed. note the past tense. this is no longer de jure the status of women in afghanistan, nor was it before the rise of the taliban. when the taliban is eradicated all remnants of these policies will be gone with them.

I dislike Islam's intense hatred of women, even the most moderate of Muslim men still treat women like poo poo. I really don't like it. Then there's also the whole adversarial every non Muslim is an infidel who must be destroyed thing. I'm actually not a fan of any religion at all.
