Happy feast and Dubai looks like a beautiful place.
1. What do think about Islam as a religion? What do u know about it? I have never had any issues with Islam. It has been a while since I have read the Koran, but the same is true about reading the Bible. Both have wonderful and beautiful things but it is easy for those with any agenda to cherry pick portions to fit what they want.
2. Do u have Any close people of different religious beliefs? How good are u guys doing? I am not really close with anybody except my family and the neighbors here and mostly they are of Christian faith.
3.If u were to live forever, what 3 requests will u have as special things? (Powers or, a specific thing, etc). To not live forever otherwise surrounded by beautiful women, three of them. LOL
4. Harry Potter or Game Of Thrones? Never got into either one. I think with Harry Potter it was more I felt old watching young folks and with Game of Thrones there wasn't a hero I could get behind on the show. To me Ned Stark seemed the only one/main one with a sense of honor and when he was killed in season one I lost interest saying they all deserve to wipe each other out.
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.
No personal pictures of the places but I have been elk and moose hunting in both Idaho and Montana, both are just beautiful states especially if you like outdoors with an abundance of wildlife.
6. What is your favourite LINKIN PARK song, album? In the End is perhaps the only one I know by name but the radio station I listen to here plays a lot of their songs, I can tell by the sound.

1. What do think about Islam as a religion? What do u know about it?
Well I look at people as individuals, not what religion they follow. But I guess I only know the basics about it.
2. Do u have Any close people of different religious beliefs? How good are u guys doing?
I know people of many different belief systems, and I get along fine with them, as long as they don't try to convert me or judge me.
3.If u were to live forever, what 3 requests will u have as special things? (Powers or, a specific thing, etc)
For there to be peace on earth, everyone to be happy, and to be with my loved ones.
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.
Somewhere like here, and I'm not sure who would want to go with me.
6. What is your favourite LINKIN PARK song, album?
I have their album Hybrid Theory and it's great. I'm a fan of theirs in general.

Lol, no it's okay. The thing is, I heard a Muslim say all these things. But I think it was more so the culture in the country he lived in (Morocco) rather than his religion. I guess I mixed the two up. I'm sure it probably does vary in different countries, depending on the culture. And I didn't mean any disrespect, by the way. These are just things I've heard. Granted, it was only from one Muslim, so I'm not surprised that you say some of it isn't true. In America, I've seen all kinds of people claiming to be Muslim. Like, people who do drugs and sell drugs, even though they're not supposed to. Or people who haven't prayed a day in their life. So some don't really take it seriously at all. But then there are others who do take it very seriously. So basically, you hear very inconsistent things about Muslims over here.
Hey @M... thanks for opening the cafe
I was a philosophy major a long time ago and part of getting my degree with studying philosophy of religions. That being said, I can't say that I have a vast knowledge of the particulars, but I know the basics. I had both a boss and an employee who taught me the differences in what Americans tend to be taught and what is more accurate. They were both cool dudes.
I talk to people of different religions all the time. I'm not about to not be a friend to someone or whatever based on religion or really any belief. I've not got deal breakers such as that when it comes to the people I care about. If my best friend suddenly declared he was a strong believer in xxx religion I'd be like cool dude, explain your thoughts to me. In his case I'd be seriously curious how he got there, because that would be highly unexpected.
Mortality
Ability to heal people
Ability to fly
Harry Potter
Eh
I'm really into Battle Symphony these days, but there are many songs I'm a fan of.

You're not worthless and you shouldn't die. I'm not sure why you feel that way, but I hope you feel better. Obviously, you would know more about your religion than me, or anyone who doesn't practice it. And I'm sorry it gets beaten up all the time, but I don't really have a negative opinion of it. I think some people just like to use extremists as examples of why it should be hated, and that's not right because that's only a small group of people compared to all Muslims in the world.
1. What do think about Islam as a religion? What do u know about it?
Not much one religion I have not studied, there's many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same.
2. Do u have Any close people of different religious beliefs? How good are u guys doing?
Get along great I do not judge or argue about politics or religion.
3.If u were to live forever, what 3 requests will u have as special things? (Powers or, a specific thing, etc)
If I could live forever I would not want or need anything, I would have forever to learn everything I wanted. There would always be something new to experience.
4. Harry Potter or Game Of Thrones?
Game of Thrones
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.
Playing baseball home run derby with my brother.
6. What is your favourite LINKIN PARK song, album?
Bleed it out

You're raising awareness of Islam's finer points. It's something you feel strongly about and you enjoy doing it!
This is the epitome of having a fulfilling life. I hope you continue on this rewarding and beneficial pursuit.
I think you prove your worth by your desire to improve understanding and knowledge of others' as well as yourself!
You want to make a positive difference in everyone's life, (including your own) and you also seem care so much about your effectiveness in accomplishing "this" that you're burdening yourself with the impossible or unattainable.
What you've accomplished here today is a real-world, practical accomplishment, which a succesful life is built upon.

David, u r just so sweet as usual, but it really is nothing.
i wish I could just die, with all this extreme sensitivity I have towards everything.
i want it all gone, if it costs my life, so be it, it isn’t much anyways.

I don't find you preachy at all!
Most people are motived and enjoy themselves more in jobs which are rewarding, especially when they morally agree with their occupation, or what it stands for. To be driven to this end means that we essentially value ourselves and our time.
Accomplishments can be great, for sure, but they're usually the result of many smaller victories to reach that outstanding one.
Maybe you could read through the SMART theory, here: SMART and see how your goals or dreams apply to the principles outlined there.
As with goal setting as stepping stones, it's important to break down your larger problems into smaller ones (where practical).
Where problems are a conglomerate it can be overwhelming and senstivity to everything is heightened. The best advice I can give you on working through it all is to focus on what you know you're facing. Those are more obvious to you and in the process, maybe after dealing with them in some way, you'll find others revealing themselves to you. This can seem like a bit of a return to times when you were feeling overwhelmed but it's really an opportunity for more healing.
Your life is valuable, and there's so much you're capable of accomplishing with it. I believe in you.
Please be safe and take extra gentle care with yourself.
Love you more, little sister.

Hello 
Hope everyone has a great day! 
2. Do u have Any close people of different religious beliefs? How good are u guys doing?
Sure. My family is completely religious, and some of my best friends are. Mostly Christians (Catholic or Orthodox), and Muslims too. I have issues with family because it gets personal, but my friends are my friends, we're doing great, never been an issue.
4. Harry Potter or Game Of Thrones?
I prefer Game of Thrones.
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.
With anyone who wants to hike in the mountains and swim in a lake with me.
6. What is your favourite LINKIN PARK song, album?
I don't know their whole catalog at all, but I prefer the songs with less "rap" vocals in them. I listened to them a bit when I was a young teenager.
1. What do think about Islam as a religion? What do u know about it?
Edit : I realized me not answering to that question could be misinterpreted (meh). Please don't assume anything about my opinion, I'm just not into writing novellas today.
I love all people.

Haii! Thanks for the tag @Innocent Forever 🥰
1. What do think about Islam as a religion? What do u know about it?
I think partly @Aurelia is right, and so much respect for you from me that you know some.
Tbh, I do practice Islam. But only the basic, not so much religious. And now you guys know why, I'm considered the most innocent haha! I just feel so shy to admit that I am, cause what @Walker said because of the bad rep, we're definitely known to be terrorist but I could swear we're not. No religion is a terrorist. I do have friends who are modern Islam, they do break the rules and yet they're still my friends. I do also like to be friends with everyone in general and lets them do what makes them happy so we're taught not to control or force anyone. And I know, we would still accept and be kind to one another. Shoot us but the kinds one won't shoot back. I'm sorry we have less freedom, but our god is the most forgiven. I like it that whatever sins we have and if we do not lose faith with him, we'll be forgiven. And so much thanks to the sf friends here that do appreciate who I am.
And happy Eid Mubarak to us though. Sorry, we're limited and in lockdown for this. One of the reasons why I'm so distress that my dad isn't here. I hope you're with your family and do lots of zoom.
2. Do u have Any close people of different religious beliefs? How good are u guys doing?
Like I said above, I do have real life friends from all different types of religion cause my country is so multicultural. I even have friends with unique genders. I told you, we're still kind to one another. Kitty dad knows ^^ @Walker
3.If u were to live forever, what 3 requests will u have as special things? (Powers or, a specific thing, etc)
I'm not the type to want to live forever. I'm the type that wants to die young cause I do not like to face pain. 🥺
4. Harry Potter or Game Of Thrones?
Harry Potter! I'm definitely a JK Rowling fan. She motivates me into becoming a designer.
Games Of Thrones is boring and so complicated.
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 wanna go here in Bali to have floating breakfast with family. Yes, I hate my mum most times but I still do like my dad and I propose this vacation to my dad for my parents to celebrate their anniversary in Aug here cause my dad deserves it too. I mean, my parents will have their alone time and if they allow me to bring one of my close college friends so I won't seem like third wheeling. I just want to make up all the times I miss doing with my dad because of the lockdown too.
6. What is your favourite LINKIN PARK song, album?
I hate metal music, sorry. 🥺
