Hi. I am a Muslim from UK. By profession I am a commercial pilot and fly for one of the major carries in Middle East.
My work takes me all over the globe and i think it has helped in making me very tolerant/open to other people, their views, cultures and various religions.
I believe in God and appreciate and respect all other forms of religions. However, being a Muslim there are still many things in Islam e.g. , intolerant behavior of many, contradictions and some violent verses of Quran, weird ideas, some strange rituals and many man made stories etc that bother me lot. When i try get the answers or discuss these with few other Muslims , things get fiery and now i have almost stopped discussing them because they are not ready to listen to a different point of view.
I stumbled upon this forum by chance as I was looking for something on Google. I hanged around here as a guest for very long and just been reading various threads but now have decided to contribute whenever I get time.
Don't get me wrong, but its my observation of the past few months. I have noticed that not everyone one but a good number of senior Atheist members while replying to the post a member of any faith, resolve to lots of profanity and derogatory terms. They use of lot of swear words instead of tackling their replies with some logic and civility . I don't see them any different and they are as extremist and intolerant in their views as the extremist Muslims' I mention in the above paragraph.
I am here to learn and educate myself on many spiritual and non spiritual matters . i want to hear all sorts of point of views and then draw my own unbiased conclusions. There are some excellent threads and majority of members are very knowledgeable with many great posts and its been fun to read them.
Regards
