Go and have a look at any city or town centre in Britain (not just Scotland)of an evening at the weekend and tell me there is no problem with booze !

Ostriches with heads in sand come to my mind !

And I certainly do not come from a Muslim background !

Hang on, according to the koran, everyone is born a muslim....

Hold it there.. Koran did not say that!, it was a saying of the prophet of Islam. He meant that the pure nature of humans before adultration with desires is islamic.

Treble no.
1 You're not married (I think)
2 Adulteration does not mean adultery (but you've commited adultery by having jiggy with someone you're not married to)
3 You've commited other sins so you're not in an innocent state.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Adulteration - To make impure or inferior by adding foreign substances to something.

Why do I find that funny?

Quite right but that will not make a Muslim, I am afraid. Islam is a complete way of life. You either take the whole package or leave it. This faith refuses to be treated like a pizza resturant, as there is no room in Islam for 'design your own religion' kind of approach.

I actually was in a rush when I wrote the previous post. I should have said 'wrong desires'. Not all desires are bad in the eyes of Islam. For example, sex is viewed as a good act if it was done in the rightful environment, which is marriage. There is a saying by the prophet of Islam to the effect that, every time a man makes love to his wife both of them will be rewarded by God for that act just in the same way they would get a sin if they had done outside marriage. I believe this concept in Christanity is quite different because in Christanity the act of sex in general is looked upon as dirty

And what is the penalty if you choose to leave it, apostasy?

I am a Quaker, and thus peaceful, but if you were stupid enough ( very likely) to come into my orbit, I would wring your ******** neck.
