Hey Myrsa,
Nice to see you again. I hope you're doing well and having a great time during Eid. Great artwork! You're a very skilled artist indeed. Beautfiul photo taken in Dubai as well! Nice selection of opening questions for Jim's Cafe.

1. What do think about Islam as a religion? What do u know about it?

I always appeciate the moralities propagated through religious belief. Islam has some of the most generous, kindness, and caring ideals, next to Chritianity there seems to be a greater propensity for kindness toward strangers amongst most believers, although there are some extremely kind, generous, and caring Christians in Australia and only have second-hand accounts of how Muslims have shown such kindnesses but I trust what I've heard is true.

2. Do u have Any close people of different religious beliefs? How good are u guys doing?

I have quite a number of friends, and family who adhere to a religion and/or philosophy. My Dad's side are all (afaik), Christian. While I have a positive attitude toward Christianity as a whole I find my Dad's side follow some very strict principles and we clash at times over difference of opinion, beliefs, etc. I come from a mostly atheist background and most of mum's "side" aren't religious/spirtual. My Uncle, on her side is a prominent priest and teacher in his church, however and I take an interest in the material he gives me whenever he returns from The States. I'm generally closer to my "relations" on mum's side.

3.If u were to live forever, what 3 requests will u have as special things? (Powers or, a specific thing, etc)

I would live in a secluded place which has a mote and drawbridge. There would be animals on my "island" and crocodiles or something in the mote - haha!

I'd have all my tech, the internet, at least one room with wall to wall bookshelves filled with awesome titles, and entertainment areas such as a bar-dining room complete with a pool table and my all-time favorite arcade machine, Wonder Boy 2 (ofc! the bloody original WB2). There would also be a theater with lounge chairs, surround sound, down lights, and another bar up the back.

4. Harry Potter or Game Of Thrones?

Harry Potter And Game of Thrones! GoT First tho.

5. Post a picture of a place u would love to be at right now, with one person of your choice and what will u be doing.



Planning a skydiving expodition for after the lockdown has been lifted. So far, I have my ex-girlfriend, my two best mates (I mentioned them in another forum post in regards to a sort of falling out we had), my cousin, and my brother on board. I also have another mate interested but he's not sure whether he's up to the challenge.

6. What is your favourite LINKIN PARK song, album?

I'm not sure what my favourite Linkin Park song is but I like this one:

Numb - Linkin Park

I don't know much of anything about it sorry but if what Jedizen said about it is true then it sounds like a good one.

2. Do u have Any close people of different religious beliefs? How good are u guys doing?
No, but I'm not close to very many people so I'm prob. not the best person to ask about this one.

6. What is your favourite LINKIN PARK song, album?
Did they sing the song "Numb"? I think I liked that one. There was another one they had that I liked but can't remember the name of it. Kinda didn't like most of their songs sorry.

Hello! Happy Holiday and I hope you have a great celebration with people that you love and love you!
Religious holidays can give us a lot of joy and sense of belonging and I hope that happens to you and your loved ones. And of course, enjoy the food!

1. What do think about Islam as a religion? What do u know about it?
I don't know much about Islam as a religion and ideology. Mu country is predominantly East-Orthodox Christian, but there is a sizable Muslim community, mostly Turkish, but also others. Both Muslim and Christian communities are not very strictly religious (hence my lack of knowledge about religious principles), it is more culture/family tradition for us. Culturally, we are very similar, I think. What I really appreciate about the Muslim community is their donations and care for the poor; also theya re a very tight community and support each other. I think this holiday is largely known as Bayram in most places on the Balkans.

2. Do u have Any close people of different religious beliefs? How good are u guys doing?
I am mostly agnostic,although I follow some orthodox holidays and traditions. So are most of my friends. I also have some Catholic friends. The Muslim communities in my country are located mostly in several geographical areas, which are not close to where I live. But I had relatives in one of those areas, so I knew a lot of Turkish-Bulgarian Muslims in my childhood, we played on the streets as kids, my family had guests over for Easter and we visited them for Seker Bayram, I remember those amazing baklavas and sweets!
There is an old Ottoman mosques in my town. I know the imam - very friendly, cool guy.
I don't really get along with people who are extremely/radically religious of either religions, though.

3.If u were to live forever, what 3 requests will u have as special things? (Powers or, a specific thing, etc)
well, I would go with youth, health and wealth

4. Harry Potter or Game Of Thrones?
Game of Thrones! Big fan!

5. Post a picture of a place u would love to be at right now, with one person of your choice and what will u be doing.
I don't really have a picture, but I'd love to be in Greece now.

6. What is your favourite LINKIN PARK song, album?
I think ... Numb.

wish you all the best!

Thanks for the tag @JMG and for having this café @M... seems I've not been getting all my alerts today so I just found the café by searching around. Also sort of napping right now. I will return a little later for the Qs.😊

1. What do think about Islam as a religion? What do u know about it?
I remember learning about the pillars of Islam in the world religions unit of my high school World History class like a decade ago. But I really don't know much.
2. Do u have Any close people of different religious beliefs? How good are u guys doing?
I don't tend to talk religion with people that much. But I can get along with people of whatever religion for the most part, as long as we have mutual respect.
3.If u were to live forever, what 3 requests will u have as special things? (Powers or, a specific thing, etc)
Power of teleportation, never having to pay for food, and extremely good social skills.
4. Harry Potter or Game Of Thrones?
Harry Potter. Was never that interested in GoT.
5. Post a picture of a place u would love to be at right now, with one person of your choice and what will u be doing.

Wanna be in San Francisco, by the water, with my best friend just walking and talking. Maybe with some food too.
6. What is your favourite LINKIN PARK song, album?
I like "Breaking the Habit" and "Shadow of the Day"

Breaking the habit !!!!
I adore that song, if It was a human being , i would marry him this instant.!!!!

 

[Walker]

1. What do think about Islam as a religion? What do u know about it?

I think I live in the US which means I'm ignorant about religions other than Christianity as a whole, for one.
Second, I think Islam is getting a bad rap from a large segment of the population in whole swaths of the world because of a few bad seeds. Clearly here in the States we have middle aged white christian men shooting people non stop, every single week of the year yet we are still absolute assholes so Isalamic people for some reason which I find completely and utterly curious.

2. Do u have Any close people of different religious beliefs? How good are u guys doing?

I don't have any close people of different religions now but have plenty in the past. I would say I'm starkly atheist so... having anyone religious at all is a different religious belief. I have found some of the very best friends I've had were strangely religious for some reason. No idea why we seem to strike it off in that way but we do. Why would that be the thing that makes or breaks a friendship?

3.If u were to live forever, what 3 requests will u have as special things? (Powers or,
a specific thing, etc)

I have no idea but who in the crapadoodle wants to live forever?!

4. Harry Potter or Game Of Thrones?

umm HP for sure. Game of Thrones gives me the effing creeps.

5. Post a picture of a place u would love to be at right now, with one person of your choice and what will u be doing

I would be in England with my wife and we would be... um, doing ... hanging out. Doing completely PG things.

6. What is your favourite LINKIN PARK song, album?

I like quite a few Linkin Park songs. What's not to love right? In the End, Numb, Crawling, Castle of Glass, Bleed it Out, Lying from You are a few that come to mind.

1. What do think about Islam as a religion? What do u know about it?

I mean, I'm cool with it, but I'd never want to convert to it. I don't like the fact that women aren't treated equally to men. I don't like the fact that I wouldn't be able to eat certain kinds of meat, especially bacon. I do, however, like that people are forbidden to have sex until marriage. I think that's pretty admirable. I, personally, didn't end up waiting. But I do regret that I was intimate with people who aren't in my life anymore, and I'd take it back if I could. As far as what I know, I know that women have to cover up and dress very conservatively. I know that they're basically expected to obey their husbands, stay home and take care of kids, cook and clean. They're not really allowed a whole lot of freedom. I'm not 100% about this one, but I think Muslims are supposed to pray 5 times a day, but only men are allowed to go inside the mosque? Correct me if I'm wrong on that one. Men and women can't sleep in the same rooms before marriage, or show public affection like kissing, but they can still hug or hold hands. And yeah, I think that about covers it...Oh, wait, one more thing actually. I know that Muslims aren't allowed to have anything to do with street drugs. Not sure about alcohol, though, or nicotine. But I'm assuming that's a no-go as well.

2. Do u have Any close people of different religious beliefs? How good are u guys doing?

My husband is Catholic and believes in god and I don't. And well, we're not doing too well, but it's not because of religion.

3.If u were to live forever, what 3 requests will u have as special things? (Powers or, a specific thing, etc)

I would definitely not want to live forever. But I guess, maybe, the ability to fly and read other people's minds. And being able to control either lighting or fire, or the ability to make things blow up. 😉

4. Harry Potter or Game Of Thrones?
Harry Potter

5. Post a picture of a place u would love to be at right now, with one person of your choice and what will u be doing.

I don't feel like looking for a picture, but I'll go with the mountains of Norway.

6. What is your favourite LINKIN PARK song, album?

First ones that come to mind are Faint, Lying From You, My December, Crawling (which is definitely about going through withdrawal, so I can relate), and several others that I can't think of at the moment.

Hello again.
i am back, hope ur day is fun , and peaceful.
As I previously mentioned, I am a Muslim, today is the last day in Ramadan, no more fasting !
Tomorrow, is Feast Eid, a 3 day celebration after a long fasting.
Hope u have a blessed Eid, whoever u r, wherever u r.

i have to admit i do not know much about islam. so here right now, i also have to admit i do not know what might be expected in wishes from me to you for the holiday but my intent is for the best...
i also have to admit i am not drawn to organized religion of any kind. my leanings have been spiritual for many years and i feel and hope that by being this way, i do have a good connection with all religions. but this is not actually the answer to your first question. i may get to it a little later. for now i only want to post a picture of a place

i’ve mentioned it before and probably again. its siberia and here,

the steppes of central asia, and here,

a moist cool forest somewhere!!!

 

[dandelions]

picture of a place

and i forgot to say whom with and doing what?? i am afraid it is impossible to answer that part at all.......

 

[Aurelia]

As far as Linkin Park, I now remembered a few others: Breaking the Habit (this one's made me cry before), Papercut, One Step Closer, With You...I like a lot of the songs on their first album and Meteora, actually.

 

[M...]

fact that women aren't treated equally to men

Not even close to truth, for instance, in heritage, women get to have a bigger portion than men in 8 outta 16 cases.
and a lot more things, for example, women were the last thing Prophet Mohamad pbuh said to take good care of, before he died.
equality, and justice, take it from someone who is raised in a religious house.

De

expected to obey their husbands

depends on what they are asked to do.
if it is disrespectful or prohibited then no, aleo if asked in a rude manner , then no.

stay home and take care of kids,

Well taking care of kids is a must, so no one would feel left out or unloved, but they can do whatever they want really, work or go shopping, have normal lives , I do that, and I am 18.
and no , we don’t marry at that age , I think it is very wrong to do so , so does my family.

allowed a whole lot of freedom.

Wrong.

but only men are allowed to go inside the mosque?

U have to be joking, of course not, anyone, litera anyone is allowed into. Mousque atheist, Buddhist, u name it, just take a good shower before u go.

aren't allowed to have anything to do with street drugs. Not sure about alcohol, though, or nicotine.

no drugs whatsoever, alcohol is prohibited, nicotine as well..

Thanks a lot for telling me in such details, but truly u need to stay away from media and Iranian version of Islam
thank u
and I apologise if I was rude.

Of the major religions, Islam is my favorite. Beautiful religion.

I have 7 siblings and I live with both of my parents. So, yes, there is a lot of variety as far as religious beliefs. We get along fine.

3.If u were to live forever, what 3 requests will u have as special things? (Powers or, a specific thing, etc)
I wouldn't want to live forever lol. But the three powers I would request are flying ability, telekinesis, and telepathy.

I don't know much of either. Sorry lol.


What is your favourite LINKIN PARK song, album?
5.Oh, man. TOUGH question. I'd say Easier To Run is my fave Linkin Parksong and Meteora is my fave album of theirs.
