So like the title says roll call. Tell us a little about yourself?

I am 22 and live in Dublin. I was born here and my parents are from Pakistan (Kashmir to be specific). I recently graduated from DIT with a Computers Science degree. Currently I am a lazy bum

.

I am not really a practicing Muslim either, but sure this forum seems interesting enough.

Salaam Aleiykum,
I am 15. My freinds from Lahore and kashmir

introduced me to Islam.
I will be meeting the sheik soon

i'm an agnostic... don't know why the **** i'm browsing this board

wes · 14-08-2005, 12:29

The more the merrier I say.

**Wibbs** · 14-08-2005, 14:21

Well I hope to drop in once in a while. I also hope that any debate will enlighten more than divide. A bit of a laugh once in a while wouldn't go amiss either.

BTW Poblachtach, you got your wish so I reckon you can change the first part of your sig now.

Perestroika · 14-08-2005, 18:34

Sorry - 56k drives me mad. Ill change the sig

arbeitsscheuer · 14-08-2005, 22:27

Seb. A bum. THE bum, I should say.

Agnostic, tryin' to learn more bout world religions so's I can understand them better. A neverending task, given how many there are (numerous). But Islam is the world's largest after Christianity, so that makes learning about it a priority.

I also have in-laws who are of the Baha'i faith which also holds that Muhammad was a prophet, but also believes the teachings of a prophet who came afterwards, a few centuries ago in fact, called Baha Ullah (I think).

So if I learn about Islam I'll vicariously be learning a lot of Baha'i as well!
Cunning, eh?

Hi I'm frank.

I suppose I'm Christian but I see Islam and Christianity being very similar. I have no plans to convert.

wes · 14-08-2005, 23:03

There are a lot similarities, a lot more than some people would think.

rsynnott · 15-08-2005, 02:00

Rob. Uncompromising, hard-line atheist, but was arguing in favour of this board on the Forums thread, so thought I may as well pop in.

jor el · 15-08-2005, 13:46

Paul, not a believer in organised religion and know SFA about Islam. I'd like to know a bit more though, not going to convert or anything but seeing as how it's the 2nd largest religion in the world, it's really something people should at least know the basics of.

The links in the sticky are quite good, some interesting reading on the Qur'an.

r3boot · 15-08-2005, 14:53

23 year old ,

very very liberal muslim. (I'm sure alot of people think we don't exist but there you go

)

Main interests, histroy of islam and evolution of the interpretation of islam to the many forms that are practiced at the moment. Maybe we could put up a post describing the different forms.

Ignorance is bliss.Not in reference to your agnostic ways, but of your unwant to be informed of other people religions)

I am born in Ireland, my moms from Ireland, and my dad from Egypt. I was born a Muslim, and still am a Muslim.
