I'm sure it has taken years of study for you to understand the meaning of being a Muslim and living the Muslim way of life (which I don't claim to have a great understanding of).

No,it can’t be summed up as a few words. Just like Islam and Christianity. I’m sure it has taken years of study for you to understand the meaning of being a Muslim and living the Muslim way of life (which I don’t claim to have a great understanding of).

Buddhism has thought me tolerance, which I’m sure in Islam is also an important virtue.

Promote peace and understanding, be less judgmental. That’s the Buddhists’ way of life.

cheers.

And if you are going to bitch about why I am calling you an "arsehole", well, that is because you are really one.]</strong> Meanwhile, Einstein was fully aware of all the popular religions during his time when he stated: “The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion.
