tvash, I'm assuming that you're referring to me by that remark, so I'll bite that bait...
Since I do not ever intend upon becoming a Muslim (or a Jew, or a Bhuddist, or a Hindi, or Zoroaster, or returning to any form of Christianity, or any other religion for that matter), the first best option of self-immersion is not open to me by my own volition. The next best option, personal observation of the source material, is also problematic for me, since I'd probably be killed within a few days for expressing any sort of contrary opinion in their host country. So I'm left with but a paltry third option, that of reading what I can about the subject material, from as many varied viewpoints as possible.
Do you have some other option which I might employ to better educate my stupid fucking white moronic ass on these matters?
Dood, you're so paranoid. After all, I used a plural. But you get my point. None of us knows jack shit about Islam, particularly in its hundreds of various incarnations, but we sure like to spray about it alot.
Is there a token Muslim in the house? Can I get a Muslim?
