Thanks, everyone. Nice to meet you all and that.
Welcome to the forum. Is there anything about Islam is particular that interests you? Is it the practical implications or the theology and belief system itself?
Well, various things really. It's interesting in each of its capacities as a social system, philosophy, way of life, and a religious faith. I was motivated to learn more about it in recent years, what with all the different things people say about Islam. You can't trust what either Muslims or non-Muslims say about it, you have to find out for yourself.
At the same time, Muslims make all kinds of claims about the divine origin of the Qur'an, and I wanted to find out if really was inerrant and all that, like they say it is. Surprise, surprise, I found out that evidence was very much stacked against that idea, and I can hardly say that I was disappointed, what with the god of the Qur'an being as profoundly unpleasant as he is.
Haha. I've found my next avatar.
