    Bhai Prithi Chand and Manohar Das

    I didn't realise @Treks was back. What happened to Mehraban / Manohar Das as I thought he fought against Guru Hargobind?

    Why don't they recommend building muscle when already obese ?

    My theory is that being obese means you have less insulin when you're fat (hence fat diabetic people); the insulin is anabolic so a lack of it means you can't build as much muscle. Don't know how true that is

    How do Sunni Muslims view the Battle of the Camel ?

    The Battle of the Camel was about who would succeed Uthman of the Umayyad Caliphate. Shia Muslims believe Prophet Muhammad nominated Ali (his cousin and son-in-law) to be successor but only 10-15% of Muslims in the world are Shia. What do Sunni Muslims believe? Do they support Lady Aisha? Why?

    Theocracies and fundamentalism

    So I watched a documentary on the return of the Taliban in Afghanistan and how people were desperate to get away : does this mean literally interpreting Islam is a bad thing? Yesterday I posted about the 2022 head scarf riots in Iran: is Islam evil if people in those countries don't want to...

    Iran and Saudi Arabia: Double Standards ?

    If you're going to pick and choose from a religion then why bother following it at all. ? The women are obviously not Muslim or they're Muslim but don't want to cover their head: why bother following Islam if you don't do it fully ?

    Iran and Saudi Arabia: Double Standards ?

    Why do Iranians complain about the mandatory headscarf rule in Iran while the Saudi Arabians do not appear to complain about it ? Why do we make documentaries and news articles about the protests in Iran but say nothing about Saudi Arabia ? Is Islam to blame?

    Iran's headscarf crackdown: blame Islam ?

    If girls in Iran are getting beaten, arrested and killed by security forces, is it the fault of Islam ? Does this mean Islam will decline with time as more and more Iranians rise up against the regime ?

    Hindu origin of Sikhism's 5Ks

    The founders of Sikhism (the Gurus) were born into Hindu Kshatriya families. The only reason that it's 'important' to know this is because they have a common lineage. The Gurus rejected the caste system and that in itself is one of the reasons Sikhism came into existence: "Meaningless is caste...
