Never thought I was going to enter this islamic store, or so does everyone call it in the area. Al-tawheed we al-Nour. It was quite an experience. I am heading to France this week so M. asked me for hunting pants that she can wear under her cloths in winter. She wanted them in pure cotton, and pointed me to this tawheed place. So, there I went. Upon entering the place, I thought I was transformed into this new world. A hive, except it is a lazy one. Only crowded. All the sellers are men with the praying sign on their forehead, some with long beards, the plupart majority wearing greyish short pants and weird colour shirts. You can't miss but feel that they all look the same. Of course, the sound of 'iza'et el coran al kareem' was screaming everywhere. Coran, ahadeeth, preaching, all what you want. So I headed to the women section, expecting the sellers to be women. Veiled women. Munaqaba women. Whatever. It is women section for god's sake. Never expected a man to s...

What book are you reading? I'm kinda out of ideas at the moment...:)
The book is Germs, guns and steel. Interesting book. Have some cool pictures, talking about the history of the formation of the world. Sociological, political, economic. He is doing it in a nice way.
CHeck it out.
The only archetype that seems somehow real to me is the blood - looks the same, no matter the color, race, and other minor details. On the inside we're all the same anyway...
I really have nothing against mixing everyone with everyone! Maybe when there's nothing left of the old arhetypes you mention will finally be just human beings, no race discrimination involved.
I would also be quite happy if there was only one religion - no belief discrimination either.
All there's left is gender and economic discrimination, but I really have to think more before finding a sollution for that!:)
Thank you for the book details!
'I would also be quite happy if there was only one religion' Who told you there is more than one religion. Well, depends how you define 'religion'.
I am not anthropology major, but I just like to sink to the origins of things. As much as I can. I believe so much in US. Human. Love the beauty they hold inside, and also outside.
When I say I would like the Earht to have only one religion, I actully want this divisions to suddenly disappear.
I don't ever think that all religions will suddenly disappear! Not in our time. It is a facade for many different 'fixations', personal and global. But what would the world be like if there was no religion seggregation?
why not write a post on that, Kayla? You sounded too passionate about that.
So, define religion?
What is religion? Too tough a question for me, but I'll put something together and try to get back to you!
It is a tough question for everyone, and it sure does need some seious thinking from everyone.
Will be happy to know how you see religion.
(Haal, I didn't mean anything bad by the 'coming from u'. Just unexpected that's all).
