Someone wrote a paper so I have one (1) reference
Here's a more straightforward reference:
Religion defines how the community members interpret their role in the universe, with this teaching based on the local culture, so different religions rise out of different cultures. Similarly when members of one religion convert members of a foreign culture often the resulting religion in that area is affected by the host culture.Quote

He's paying massive amounts of alimony to his ex-wife who lives in the big beautiful spacious house he bought for her and his kids on the North Shore.
He hardly gets to see his children and he works like a dog to pay off his ex, make the support payments and to support himself in this small bachelor pad he currently lives in. He told me he's just dying to have the weekend off to see his kids once again, the ones he brought into this world.
... no matter what religion or culture, its members seem to suffer the same kind of problems and face the same amount of issues as any other race/religion.
Anyways, I wonder if he wishes that he'd stayed in Iran. Poor guy, I feel sorry for him. At least he would've gotten a better deal, that, I'm sure.
I have a nice friend who is Iranian and a secular Muslim.Quote from: "Frank"

He would've had full custody of his children if he stayed in Iran.
He chose his wife Frank. He applied for his current situation. Maybe it's bad now - they'll still be his kids in the future and they will have lots of good times together.

I'm glad to hear this because Reza Aslan has said exactly what I have questioned for some time now. There IS a difference between country based practices vs religious practices. I think it is about time we start addressing that fact rather than painting over a billion people with the same brush.Quote from: "RW"
I know people that are secular Muslims. They like their liquor and their bacon. However, the issue is not culture, it's the violence of an ideology created by a violent pedophile 1400 years ago.

Islam in South East Asia is usually not as radical as the Middle East..
But even there, there are Al Qaeda type groups like Abu Sayaf.

Once again Frank/Joe has the experience of a friend to call upon so he can add his brand of relevance to a particular subject.
It must be his occupation (cab driver) that gives him such varied access to the public that enables him to have so many friends of varied cultural and religious backgrounds. I'll bet if the subject was about the cultural/religious and social adaptation of Kalahari tribesmen, Frank/Joe would have a friend from Botswana that he could use to interject his retardation into the discussion.
Poor goofy Franky.

So why aren't they all violent?
This has always bothered me. Why aren't all of the billion+ Muslims including the devout ones violent killers? The MAJORITY of them aren't.
Explain that.
