waltappel 1 #27 January 7, 2007 QuoteActually by saying that I thought "americans think muslim = terrorist" Not really. We do wonder why Brits don't go to the dentist more often, though. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,380 #30 January 7, 2007 >I don't think Islam has any problem with skydiving . . . Probably true with skydiving, but sadly not with people here in general. There's a jumper in Perris who recently changed his name from a Muslim-sounding name to an American-sounding name so he wouldn't get beat up in bars.

Gawain 0 #31 January 7, 2007 QuoteDo muslims skydive or is it aginast the faith. Anyone know any skydiving muslims? I thought I saw some pics in a Parachutist issue a few years ago showing a Saudi Arabian skydiver making a demo jump somewhere in the kingdom. Interesting question though. Did you know that Islam does not allow interest bearing loans? There's a Yahoo video clip on their main page right now (Money Talks segment).So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Beerlight 0 #32 January 7, 2007 QuoteTo be honest though the only reason I am Muslim is that I paid a Mullah £50 for the privilege. My wife is Iranian so when we go to Iran and want to share a hotel room I have to prove that I am married to her which means that my name has to be on her ID docs and to do that I have to be a Muslim. It's that easy? You pay a clergyman and boom your a Muslim? Is it totally legal or just skirting the letter of the law? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
