My father is a Muslim. Until I was forced to leave Iran, I was being raised Muslim. When I was old enough to understand things, I chose my mother's Baha'i faith. It makes more sense to me, mainly the not taking text written thousands of years ago literally and ignoring every other influence on ones life.

I am 100% middle eastern, look Persian / Iraqi, and don't consider Lune racist. He's welcome to buy me a beer any time (I'm cheap as fuck, Persian baby). I don't know why if I don't find Lune racist you would IRD.

What circumstance did you leave Iran under?

This is how most Catholics live in adulthood as well, they don't "choose" a different faith, but they intelligently decide that the Church is a bit dated and doesn't fully align with the real world environment of today. I feel this is Islam's biggest problem, a cultural/religious movement or revolution of sorts per say needs to take place.

Christianity had many many reformations and so-called revolutions even the Reformation which destroyed and dispelled many Dark Ages ideas and Church nonsense.

Has Islam had any such History of reformation from within as Christianity has with the Catholic Church? I do not know much about the history as most colleges do not offer such courses at a high level unless you specifically seek out such studies at a specific University.

Will buy you lifetime beers if you can introduce us to some of your Persian lady friends. Caught the fever and in love w/ the Farsi accent. Americanized Persians are really pretty but seems the princess complex comes with the package, I can deal though!
