Aha! So while you encourage ME to discover about Islam, you do not take the same interest in other cultures?

Hmmm ok then please explain this story A well known journalist in the UK, who is normally a foreign correspondent in Arab countries (and has many friends there) recently made a series of documentaries in the UK about the immigrant muslim community. What he discovered horrified him.

In the UK, many muslims live an ENTIRELY separate life. They create a separate part of each town and NEVER venture out of it. They use their own public transport and even their own taxi services only. The ones who agreed to be interviewed said that they did not want to socialise in any way with English people because they were "evil".

He managed to interview a 10 year old girl, born in England, and asked "how many English people do you know, or have you met, in your life".

Her reply?

"One, my teacher"


i have changed my thoughts about you

I think most religions are based on the intent of having good ethics. I believe they go hand in hand, like a partnership. Without having one to feed the other, you tend to starve. I teach a class in cultural diversity and ethics and most companies in the U.S. have adopted this type of training and education for their colleagues. "We are a diversed nation, unlike others here who would like to pertray us as ignorant.

you're wrong! about 90% of culture develops from the religion/belief. you cant get to know the culture without knowing the religion and its history.

I should have saved this for next month. I didn't say you had to be religous, but most people have morals and ethics instilled in you. Even though you may not be religious, I'm sorry to deliver the news to you, but this is the foundation of what religion is based on. What feeds you then?

Well you DID say that "religion and ethics go hand and hand..without having one to feed the other, you tend to starve" so WHAT ELSE can this mean but that you say I have no ethics!

Actually I am sorry to deliver the news to you, but the foundation of religion is FEAR OF DEATH!!!
