Are you a Muslim?

One of our more recent contributors today stated that 3/4 of the membership of this forum are Muslims.

I think it's time we came clean, so I've set up a poll.

So, are you a Muslim?

I was registered as a Muslim with our current Gemeinde - for about thirty seconds until my wife told me to stop mucking about as registering with a Gemeinde should be taken a lot more seriously.

You know it's like the Mafia. Once you're in, you can never leave.

So we'll put you down as a Muslim, then.

Animist, probably.

That's not on the list, though, so we'll pop you down as Muslim.

Re: Are you a Muslim?

Cath - please change your poll as it doesn't provide sufficient answers.

I'm a partial-muslim.

I follow all the teachings of the Quoran (Koran, Kuran) but eat bacon, don't pray 5 times a day and drink alcohol.

I'm also a partial vegan, Moroccan and Jew

Re: Are you a Muslim?

You need one more choice on the poll to really nail the 0.75000000000000000000000000000000001 accuracy required.

You can't have a double negative, so I'll put you down as Russian Orthodox.

You could be having Muslimism syndrome...Do you end up on your knees sometimes after drinking alcohol?

No.

I do remember spending time with a girl after a lot of drinking. I think she was catholic - because later that evening she seemed to be repenting screaming "Oh God, OH GOD, OH GOD"

Re: Are you a Muslim?

I self identify as Coptic Christian, but only 3 months out of the year. (the fun ones - you know, with all the holidays and feats of strength, etc.)

Is that a Christian Coptic in your avatar?

I'm currently watching Dinopaws with LR - does that make us both Muslim?

It depends... if she was on her knees she was clearly muslim.
If she was on her back, hands spread as a cross she was catholic.
If she was meditating in silence after, she was zen Buddhist
If she asked you to keep the "hat" on, she was jew
And if she charged you after she was russ...orthodox!


I repent, I repent

Re: Are you a Muslim?

So far, collating the results of the table, the declarations of faith in the thread, my personal knowledge of the kind of people who frequent internet forums, and a fair dollop of prejudice and presumption, it seems that at least 100% of the members of this forum are Muslims.

And that's a conservative estimate. The final figure might be much higher.

Are the Muslims the ones with the silly hats?
