    Any other Tellurians here?

    What's a Tellurian? I've heard it used in certain contexts, i.e. Evola uses the idea of "tellurian" society as the counterpart to "solar" society, but I don't think this is the same thing.

    Irshad Manji?

    An article I found online: The trouble with Irshad Manji | Riding the Tiger The premise of this author's critique is that Irshad Manji is a tool of "the West" who is trying to shape Islam to leftist ideas from within. Is this an accurate critique? If not, then what course should be...

    Or can you truly be a Jew if you don't believe every word of the Talmud, even the ones that are somewhat out of context?

    Chrislam? .... Can this work?

    Maybe some of the earlier Christian sects like Arianism would have fit in with Islamic theology. There is, however, a fringe group called the Ahmadiyya who believe that Christ was crucified. There would have to be some theological compromises which would destroy the integral character of...

    Is Islam compatible with Stoic philosophy, or parts of it?

    The original Greek Stoicism held the belief that destructive mental states are the result of errors in judgment, and that a well-rounded person doesn't suffer from such emotions. They are in control of themselves as well as their inner self. Originally, Stoicism appeared to nature, and its...

    A majority of Muslims in England are against free speech, according to a poll

    I wonder how the questions were asked. I also wonder, if applying the standards that the person who made the video did, how many: Jewish people are against Free Speech when it comes to questioning the Holocaust Homosexuals are against Free Speech when it comes to questioning the...

    Falun Gong

    Maybe it's a poor translation, but Falun Gong sounds like an Asian version of Scientology to me. I would say it sounds more like a cult which tries to draw you in with the exercises...classic bait and switch.

    Asian supremacist groups?

    You don't mean to tell me that you also think that the U.S. government promotes "White supremacy" do you? If anything, there are isolated incidents of anti-white discrimination that come from the government.

    What Muslims really think

    I think he was trying to be sarcastic to make a point. Many big-name brands already have kosher-certified products, and nobody thinks anything of it. I can go into any grocery store in America and buy a jar of "Kosher dill pickles" or a pack of Hebrew National hotdogs and nobody would say...

    Differenecs between Shi'a and Sunni solat?

    Hi, I am considering becoming a Shi'a Muslim. I would like to know if there are any differences in the way Shi'a and Sunni pray? If the prayers are different, Is it permissible for a Shi'a to pray with a Sunni and vice versa?

    Whats Islamic about Nation of Islam?

    I think that the N.O.I. is outside the pale of Islam. You can not eat pork and not be a Muslim (i.e. Jewish or a Seventh-Day Adventist), and you can call your building a Mosque if you want but it won't make you a Muslim. Zafar Ishaq Ansari, a Pakistani scholar said that the founder W. Fard...

    Should some American products change their Ingredients to accomadate Muslims?

    In the end, whatever generates the most revenue will win out especially with these big companies. There isn't much of a demand for halal products in the U.S., just because theren't many Muslims. I don't think they should HAVE to change their products, but if they did, it might get them...

    The modern world minus Christianity and Islam.

    Not necessarily, because the Romans had a quasi-industrial society (not a mechanised one) even before Christianity arrived. On the other hand, most of Sub-Saharan Africa, as well as the Native Americans lacked even rudimentary writing, without which it becomes nearly impossible to create...

    Does the Abrahamic God Have to Be Anthropomorphic?

    From what I've read about Islam, this is also true for the Muslims. The Quran, as I know doesn't explicitly say that Man was created in "God's Image," but the Islamic creation story of Adam is similar to the Jewish one. In Islam, God does not have a physical form which can be visualized; i.e...
