I don't understand Islam, and I don't understand religion. Why the hell would people want to place undue restrictions on their lives to the point that they make.....themselves miserable, but anyone around them? Quite happy for them to live in the desert away from society and practice their misery. But they should not be moving to civilisation with their crap gutter religion and have society clean up after them.
unsub,
'Religion' is [should be] about
a recognition, in the human psyche, of the consequence of
cause and effect in our life. [......imo]
People who have no interest in identifying and differentiating between
cause and effect in their life tend to have little time for reflection [or, for 'religion'].
They are people who only want to know where and when, the next rave is on.
They are people who tend 'to go where angels fear to tread', in my experience.
And then when they get clobbered by a 4 x 2, or some other such misfortune, in their life,
you tend to hear them scream at full voice.....
"Why the %$#@! did that happen!!!!"

Proverbs 1:22
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
Proverbs 8:5
O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
Proverbs 9:6
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
Proverbs 10:23
It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
Proverbs 16:22
Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
