Came across some interesting sites while helping Dusk with some research for a paper he's writing. Archiving them here for future reference, and for anyone else who might find them interesting.

http://virtualreligion.net/vri/islam.html
http://www.islamicity.com/education/
http://www.uga.edu/islam/
http://islam101.com/index.htm
http://www.lib.jmu.edu/philosophy/internet.html#isl
http://www.islam-guide.com/

I especially found http://www.islam-guide.com/frm-ch3-10.htm interesting, on the Muslim beliefs regarding Jesus. I rather liked some of the quotes attributed to him by Muslim teaching, though I found the idea that he did not die but had his likeness placed on another man who died in his stead while he ascended to heaven somewhat strange.

I have no idea how to respond to this. I'm not even sure exactly what is being asked, and even if I could figure that out I'm not sure this person's skill with english would enable them to properly understand the answer. Anyone have any ideas?

I just ran a friend's names through the FRUJ Name Generator. Brother/Sister Shining Flame of Rationality, Brother/Sister Trebuchet of Truth, Brother/Sister Pointy Implement of Mercy, Brother/Sister Honorable Plasma Rifle of Fervent Tranquility, Brother/Sister Divine Cattle Prod of Reasoned Humanitarianism.... wow, they really know this person. :)

As for me, I got:

Jarandhel Dreamsinger = Brother/Sister Shuriken of Tranquility
Jarin Dreamsinger = Brother/Sister Derringer of Reasoned Equanimity
Actual Full Legal Name = Brother/Sister Whip of Mindful Contemplation
Daily Use Legal Name = Brother/Sister Hand of Serenity

Hmm.... I think it works better if you're actually a unitarian. I wonder if there is a pagan jihad name generator yet? *grins and winks* If not, now there will be three by the time the week is over, knowing the crowd reading this.
