Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Rahim

The good thing ...
We are not interested in beating the s**t out of eachother.
We are interested in competing with the Gods, which says something about our level.
Although the mortals are not supposed / allowed to even "think" about that, and some of us can. Still it is unforgivable.

Allah is really great do you know why? Because he never leaves anyone unless they wish that. Or better. Think about Genies: "Your wish is my command" ... Kazam there is a castle in the desert for you with virgins and all that.

OK ... When I said God is great but not the greatest, I was thinking about the song "God is great" that is played here all the time along with similar songs. I considered saying Allahuakbar, but I thought about how that would be recieved. Bism-illah = Bism Allah = In Allahs Name.

Salam

Edit: Excuze me I'll be going.

Yes. I even feel like an outsider in the midst of friends/family. Nobody seems to understand me, and everyone is this puzzle I'll likely never really understand.

^^ My song. It always plays in my head when I'm around people.

I listen to that song often, either replayed in the music memory of my noodle, or off a cd. I find myself singing it occasionally when I'm feeling down about people and their strange ways.

Unfortunately we're not wired to understand, and that's frustrating.

I've found things that help, but sometimes I wish my brain was "normal". I think I'd be a lot happier.

The mirror doesn't turn, it's you who turns. The will to accept or not accept, the power is in your hands. I am not muslim, but Islam needs a true reform of philosophy and a proper understanding by it's own followers.

Peace be upon you.

Hey man.
With all respect.
Islam is not something to achieve ... No wait.
...
I said earlier that I stand correct wheither I speak or not.
Now, I chose to turn but that is not cowardice.
There are two aspects, truth (the mirror) and stance (face forward or back).

While I am turning back, the mirror knows that I am not a coward. I turn back because my task is completed, but appearently not yet. There are classes of warriors, one is known as necromancers. Raising up dead bodies. I am not afraid of dying (turning back). I will be raised up should that be needed. As for right now, I'd like to leave the Muslims alone. The believers of them (independent of their stance) are having a nice time under the ground.

If you want to talk to someone of the Muslims, you have to do that with respect. Otherwise, they'll offer you peace. You really have to respect him in order to be able to fight with him. You have good knowledge, but I sense disrespect. Allah allows me to turn away from that.

Salam

Rust down for Allah.
If you rust down much enough for Allah, you will as a consequence of proving your valor be rewarded for your patience. If you don't want to, then you don't want to. Our path is long, but it leads to heaven. Their path is short, but leads to hell. It is not allowed to kill yourself. You don't have to do feats before going to the barberer, you need only to pay him some money for cutting you hair / elongating it and giving you the style you want. Better style, more money. No money, you will get the cheapest style for free. You know a barberer who gives free cuts and great styles at the same time? ... Hahaha.

What you sense is how a father would treat his child. Love, compassion and discipline.

It's important to understand the mirror and what it represents. It's also important to take lessons to heart without taking them personally.

I don't think I'd be any happier, really. I find people endlessly interesting. I don't think I'll ever really get it, but I try.

I've never been discontent with my disconnect, either. I think in many ways, my blockage is fueled by my need to control my every thought, desire, and expression thereof. This also hinders my ability to understand others as they seem so open and chaotic. That's something I can only manage in increments. Small moments where I'm able to unclasp my hands and let go of the tight control I have over myself.

I probably wouldn't have minded so much if I didn't discover I was like this by mere chance and so late in life. It's caused quite a great depression to fall upon me. Timing is everything, as is location, and neither could have been worse. Or better? No, but maybe they could be worse. I realized what I was missing in the conversation (okay I smoked some weed with a good friend of mine), and in my case all of a sudden I innately understood facial expressions. I felt like a kid in a candy store. But I almost wish I hadn't smoked and just lived thinking everyone else had a problem, and I was the normal one. I just had to open Pandora's box.

Pot's a hell of a drug.

I discovered it purely by accident. I was researching Aspergers because it seemed to fit my then husband. I wanted to understand it, and in understanding it I realized it fit me a whole heck of a lot better than it did him. In fact, I was likely projecting a lot of my difficulties onto him, thinking he was the one with the issues. I've since learned they very nearly diagnosed me as a child. Not sure why they didn't...

Am I happier knowing? It's an interesting question. In some ways, I understand myself (and by proxy the world) much more than I could have otherwise. However, with knowledge comes certain revelations I simply cannot ignore. As with anyone, there are things about me I do not like. Never liked. Now I've got a name for them. It seems... almost as if in naming these things took any hope I had of getting past them completely.

Acceptance is something I need to work on.

It's almost like we shy away as a natural response to over stimulus.

Actually for you guys the term means "Alpha (Allah) is the greatest". The One, the Alpha.

This was Muhammad's true message. So few people truly understand how profound that is, but I digress.

A religion that forces anyone to submit under the threat of death, Islame.

Yes I don't attribute my beliefs to the leader of a social group of movement. I say stuff social obedience and think totally independently because I am the master of my own religious beliefs. Not the Pope or Richard Dawkins or the Dalia Lama. I make up my own mind on what to believe or what not to believe.
