We worship the netjer that were before the ancient egyptians. We have to dicipline ourselves in many forms of combat, and through combat we become closer to the Netjer. We must never kill even in self defense, we may paralyze but never kill. Our afterlife is place where warriors of every time and religon go where they can have endless battles where you don't die, you in modern terms respawn somewhere that you can eat and rest. In our "heaven" we form mock armies and have wars. the non warriors go to a place the Netjer have set aside of eternal peace. If you fight someone who is unwilling you have to sit and watch the battles.
We honor warriors of old and research them. It is a religon that exists almost exclusivley as a minority in African nations.

Your very thought that there are 'many misconceptions about islam' and that you will 'try to clear all of them' is questionable.

The very 'misconceptions' are risen in the mind-set of 'the world' is due to some so called 'follwers of islam' or 'jeehadi' who have been using the name of the religion to justify their devilish acts. You do not need to explain their 'misunderstandings' or 'misinterpretations'. They do not belong to any religion. They only hide themselves in the cover of islam. They follow their own (non-)religion which is 'terrorism'.

You should not see yourself or islam having any kind of association to such people. You are still young and you will learn more in your life to develop your own 'understanding'. I suggest you to close this thread as there is no purpose for this. Let the people remove their 'misconceptions' themselves and I am sure they will and can do it themselves with the help of their 'understanding'!

Today is Diwali, and it is celebrated through-out in my country with the complete spirit of festivity despite what has happend in Delhi on 29th Oct, 2005. And it has been celebrated in this spirit despite those black-days which the people of this country has taken into their strides. They know that these will go on till the people who are involved in these kind of acts understand what they are doing cannot be justified by seeking refuse in any religion. It is not known how many disfigured, dismantled, burned bodies they want to see to realise their mistake!

This reality is relatively new for the rest of the world and I simply smile when I see people react to such things differently!

I hope everyone will learn and understand from their own experiences and work for a better world, both individually and collectively.


Happy Diwali for everyone!
Celebrate the festival of light.
The light of knowledge and understanding!

I have a great respect for Arab culture considering i am about half Lebanese, I am even teaching myself Arabic, its just my religion that is getting in the way.

Im sure it is, but i was brought up in a way that sort of classified other religions as impure or evil, i can not imagine my parents reaction if they saw me reading the Qua'ran.

That's probably where a lot of the current tension comes from...although there's been friction between Muslims and Jews for a long, long time now. Israel isn't the start of it all, more like an inflamatory.
