Average was 71.
 
42% - I confess that I'm not an expert in Islam, though I did take a couple of college courses on that religion several years ago, to fulfill a requirement....

Guess I've forgotten most of what I learned...

Anyway, Hi RDS! :2wave:
 
Hi Nightrider, keep smiling always.
 
71% - 3 incorrect answers: hierarchical structure, the word for 'follower' and apostates.

Wa Alaykumu Salam
 
speaking arabic doesnt mean mocking ?
 
I don't know Jack Shiite. :lamo
 
Perhaps sunni you will. ;)
 
I got 79% but some were guesses. Like I assumed that the most populous Muslim nation would be Sunni, because Sunni is more popular, but I did not know it was Indonesia off hand. Other stuff I knew from living in Turkey and having a Sunni Turk show me Shiits flagellating themselves with chains. And from studying American impirialism, I knew that Shiits overthrew the American backed Shah, but that is only because I focused myself to understanding American imperialism abroad earlier in my life.

For instance I am a fan of Mohammed Mossadegh and consider the British and American overthrowing of him undemocratic and illegal.

I considered becoming a muslim sometimes lacadaisically, but I can never get past the fact that its men on earth having supposed visions. I mean human prophets. I just dont believe in human prophets getting divine messages. More likely than not, up above is only outerspace.
