No, I'm not Muslim, but I read alot. If you want to overcome the stereotype, it must first start with Sunni's and Shi'ites. Stop fighting. Also the constant fatwah's about how the jews are evil and should be killed isn't helping either.
For those who know the tenants of Islam, they are well aware that Islam is just that, submission to God, and not suicide bombing.
I'm a Sunni and my best friend is a Shia and i haven't tried to kill him so far... All religions have their problems i believe the Catholics and Protestant had a good go at each for many years killing a lot of each other... I dont believe in inter-religion killing... Second this Fatwah on killing Jews is completely wrong because Genocide is Haramm in Islam as we are not allowed to kill innocents (E.G. non soliders)... And i hope that most people on OC3D are not ignorrant enough to believe that a whole Religion of people are evil just because of the stupid acts of a minority...
Unfortunately, it's the acts of the minority that are trumpeted by the media, because frankly, that's what that sells. People need to start thinking for themselves already
I've only just found a design I'd be happy to live with. I think it has to be personal to you rather than generic design from a book. I'm still working on the design and I don't know when I'd get it done.
funnily enough I dont have that many pics of mine...they are all personal to me apart from the 2 huge tribals at the top of each arm as when I was younger and a little dumber I had a few done that were, tbh, a bit stupid, nothing offencive just ones I didn't really want but was all I could afford at the time......not that the tribal that covers them I regret...despite many in to the tattoo 'scene' (sorry it's become a bit trendy recently and I'm not sure if I resent that or not) I love tribal and part of my full back piece will include this....
anyway dug this one out
