As an American Muslim, I can truly say that most issues that relates to Islam from a western perspective are from culture-differences. My parents are foreign as so is my background. The logic that they use to base their common-sense is actually different from my own. I'm western. I live and think like someone from the US. I would be lying to you if I said that relations with my parents were smooth on various issues. After years of giving this much thought, the only answer I can come up with why my parents thought in the way they did and why would muslims from eastern countries be angered over the burning of their own book or ex cetera is culture |
I'm sorta in the same situation as you, but i'm an athiest & consider myself to be "sorta" muslim-ish, like I sorta used to be muslim/kinda still am (parents ...etc), I briefly attended a religious school, but most of my knowledge comes from the fact that my family moved around a bit and spent a few years studying in my home country (called Jordan, as in "the kingdom of ..") where religion is taught in their school curriculum
So my question is are you like really muslim or just "sorta" muslim? - see next post
