Oh really? I'd think you would since it happened in your home country. It's all over the United States News!

Exactly. Plus, I don't watch the news :3

Let's get back to the subject, other questions?

Jesus is a prophet in Islam.
Just not as important as in the bible. (He isn't the son of god in the Quran)

Sometimes I do a bit of research but the Jesus thing I actually knew.
I also know that in countries like Finland you don't have to fast for all the daylight hours during Ramadan (because it's daylight for something like 20 hours) and Muslims either use the hours of the closest Muslim nation or mecca.

I really wish RE actually taught us about religions (other than Christianity). When I was in primary school (elementary for the yanks) all we were taught in RE was the names of other religions (yet we had bible stories told to us in assembly and then finished by singing hymns).

There was a Muslim girl in my class at primary school and every year she fasted for Ramadan but at the time we thought she was weird because she wore a headscarf and trousers (instead of a skirt or dress) and that the fasting was because she was strange. No one told us why she did any of these things.

Even in secondary school (high school) we learnt nothing about any religions (including Christianity) other than that Sikhs wear a turban and carry knives.

Even though I am not religious (whenever asked I reply Jedi (which I am (but it's a non-theological religion))), I still feel we should be taught more about them. I may find the idea of a deity silly, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate that others believe in them.

I find religion interesting and think the world would be a better peace if we knew about other people's culture before deciding it was wrong and deciding to bomb them.

It's said that when wine goes off it turns to vinegar but it's not quite that simple.
It probably depends on the kind of vinegar and the opinions of the individual.

@ AZH, Well, Klingon kinda answered you.
It is allowed, this is the first time I hear about this. I don't know much.

@ ZH mad maker...
1- What do you mean by the hereafter? Do you mean the resurrection after death at the day of judgement?
Muslims have to believe in the day of judgement.

2- I don't understand the question, but I'll give what I know.
A man can marry multiple wives if he is financially & physically ready to support them.
If he marries more than one wife, he has to be just to each one, as example if he buys a laptop for one, he has to buy a laptop for each one.
A man can't marry more than 4 women at the same time.

Btw, while we are talking about this, Propther Muhammad, peace be upon him, said "The best of you is the one who is best to his wife."
If you get some free time, try reading the Qur'an. ;)

I think that's the one! Yeah the resurrection thing! (Forgive me for my lack of religious knowledge xD)

2- Why that is quite interesting. Usually in catholic, or chirstian, or the the United States in general, having more than one wife at a time is quite frowned upon let alone disgraceful. That's quite the thing xD.

So this may or may not be on the Islam topic, but what's your life style like there in Jordan? Is there a lot of poverty? It's a 3rd world country right? Sorry, just curious!

I live in the UK (one of the most developed countries in the world) and I see homeless people all the time.

I don't think homelessness is necessarily linked to how developed a country is.

I liked it. ;)

If anybody still needs some clarifications about Islam, I will be happy to answer them.
Dead topic? Idk.

Side note: ISIS does NOT represent Islam, they either misunderstood it or use religion to justify their heinous actions. (Or maybe something else).
