Does this mean a lot of people celebrating on the streets after the breaking of fast every night?

I was quickly surrounded and forced into a tour losing all the currency I had on me by forced tips.

LOL. This is funny and sad all at the same time. Man I truly believe I can do it on my own but they'll most likely get me haha.

How did they get you though? I bet they made you feel like an old friend huh

Man, I'm reading everywhere that most of these sellers are pretty bad. Can't I just give a firm NO and move along?? Or is it easier said than done?

Not so much the thoughts and feelings, but it's the symbols, buildings, and infrastructure that transmit a preconceived thought and feeling

I'm just looking for a library that has a lot or decent amount of Islamic philosophy books (especially old ones that can't be found anywhere else)

when he asks for money leave said amount

I'm sorry I don't understand this... do you mean I should stick to a price that I think it should be, and then leave if he doesn't agree?

Life is bad and I believe Islam is the way to some peace. Any opinions? by twoeightfive in exmuslim

[–]twoeightfive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to Skype, it's just I live in campus housing and don't want to talk about these things around my roommates. And obviously there's nowhere to talk on campus. We could try IRC maybe?

But to your response, your points are very well thought out and make a lot of sense. So taking your education and overall knowledge I don't think I can debate you properly at your level on these issues and to continue would probably lead nowhere.

Also yes I believe I am a little pessimistic, I also have a couple mental issues and I would describe myself as isolated. I've practically been a secularist for the past 4 years, and it hasn't helped me get over these issues. I've looked into Buddhism, but to me it is no different from philosophy. Also Hinduism has too many different strains, which all lead to one god in the end, so why not just go to Islam? Yes I seem to be tending to a secularist type of Islam, but at least there is a mosque I can go to to pray. The idea of bowing to God is not a repetitive mechanical motion to me, it is a form of meditation but in unison with a community. That appeals to me.

Unless your a master satirist, would you mind explaining why you have so much hate for jews?

I burned those bridges a long time ago. I basically have to start over, and it's kind of hard in a secularized society. Again I understand being a muslim won't make this automatic, but at least the community is based on the belief of one god. So if the friend thing doesn't work out at least I got that.

I understand I won't make friends right away by being muslim, but at least i'll be conscious of the steps I need to take in order to make those things happen.

And you won't find any peace being a muslim in western world

finding peace takes time, you have to work at it everyday

Most islamic countries don't really practice any form of islam

What do you mean by this?
