A Religous Cultural Crisis
I am in awe and shock once again. My frequent visits to Diwaniya give me input on well a segment of kuwaiti society. Yesterday, discussion steemed up to a furiously boiling degree when the subject of religion, satan and more related-dGin. Came up. One young gentlemen was elaborating on how religion, is ancient, old, too old for the modern. Religion as a means of controlling the masses, Mohammed declaring Pork Haram, and making the killing of sheep a holy sacrifice. A good deed. Because he was indeed, a sheep herder himself. Values such as premarital sex, haram or not.. That was indeed interesting. As well. The shi'its. Have something called Zowaj mot3a, which is basically marriage signed on paper, but no one does know about it. Its basically how the many brothels work in Iran, a highly religious country. Walk In, Sign, FUCK, pay, tear the paper, and walk out sorta thing. All in the name of God. But enjoying a healthy sexual relationship with a man or woman you love is totally haram! The difference bieng a signature which lasts minutes to hours..hmm.. Discussion included, why are the religious fundamentalists long bearded and shaved head.. If mohhamed wrote have your hair long enough to go below your ears? Is there any proof that states he had that beard, short disdasha? NO one stated. Perhaps its to create themselves an identity, similar to that of the jewish preists who also have long beards. The most remarkable part of the discussion was that of Djin and Magic. Most of the members at diwaniya, collectivly agreed on the existance of Djin as it is stated men and djin were created by God in the Quran. However, the majority also believed some people can see Djin, they can posses people, slap people, and insanities as such. This is not mentioned in the quran, and no one at diwaniya ever saw a djin, or saw someone directly claiming to be possesed that could prove it. Why..it was was always a friend of a friend sort of story. So as proof to the few that denied the djin existance and possesion, they showed an old tape. The tape was of a Mulla, Fundamentalist, long beard short disdasha, in a room with about 30 or so people, reciting quran, as lightning speed, into a mic. All the people suddenly begin twitching, screaming, shaking, jumping, crying,..scary.. NO ITS NOT! Its easily, staged, i could film such an event by bringing on a few people and telling them what to do! If it isnt staged, those people are serious pschitzos! SchitzophreniƔcs anonymous I would call it! or the mentally Ill! Perhaps these people believe in it so much due to brainwashing, programming since birth. These same people claim David Blane the magician..tricks...ya know. Is in fact, a real black arts magician possesed by deamons, who really can actually take his heart out show it to the crowd and put it back in. LET THERE BE EDUCATION!!!
