Muslims Praying = Erotic

BSM1

What? Me worry?
Salam. It depends on how people look at things I guess. An example:

A person can see in the above picture, the dolphins, or a couple making love.

In any case, I am sure, if you study prayers in Islam more (its philosophy, meanings of postures, the glorifying and supplications in it, etc.) and maybe try to perform it, then I am sure you wouldn't see it that way.

Please see: A Commentary on Prayer | Mohsen Qaraati | Al-Islam.org

And it is nice that you think of Islam as the best choice.



With all respect, that is a wrong generalization, bro. That in a few places, some mix their ancient traditions into shia Islamic commemorations, does not make it a "shias do that". Please see: Fatawa/Rulings of Shia Muslim Scholars on Tatbir (Self-flagellation) - A Disturbing Innovation

Thanks.

Dolphins? Dolphins? If you see dolphins you may need to get out more :).

I guess nobody would have imagined this coming up on this forums but there is a first for everything.

I find Muslims praying to be the pinnacle of dirty. For me I associated Islam(like most religions) with BDSM since it is nothing but cosmic Sadomasochism in my humble opinion. Heaven, hell, wrathful and loving god followed by all of the Master/Slave connotations riddled through the Quran. Everything about Islam is neck high in BDSM and all it needs is leather and whips but I hear that the Shias already use whips on themselves.

I have ready the translations of the Islamic prayers and they are steeped with Lordship and enslavement to god. So all these poetic verses are to me but highly erotic poems to a metaphysical Dom.

Am I weird, insane or rational? You tell me! :D

Nah, you're not weird. There's elements of sadomasochism throughout various religions. Catholicism is a highly sadomasochistic religion. I think that's one of the things that drew me towards it.

Hi, is your name Sha'irullah? You're exactly like him.

And I've never seen it that way, though a reason given for women to pray behind men is to not distract them (while bending and so on)? Or so I heard. :shrug:

I had the same thought for those two points :D

As for the prayer, in public place they even completely separate the two genders because at some point people keep coming in big numbers that makes it like impossible to regulate the lines of both genders separately.

Oh, the Holy Mosque in Makkah is too big to not have problems in this regard. People act like families there anyways.

Come one now, you know she means the RF member that goes by the name Sha'irullah :)

Don't worry much about it anyway, she doesn't mean anything thing bad :)

Well it sounds like an Islamic name and it has ullah in it which usually means god. But hey, I made a good guess did I not! :D

Many religions have these elements. I've even met a Christian who relates to God as a "dom" and for her it's liberating. Some people in dom-sub relationships actually find it nurturing and a way to be most vulnerable and intimate, even loving. It's not surprising that those elements make their way into relationships with deities or the Divine.

Does eroticism really have to be "dirty?" I love the sensuality of the high Anglo-Catholic traditions, the erotic images of Christ, even the crucifix. St. John of the Cross had a very erotic relationship with Christ, even desiring to become Christ's groom, an interesting image. His spirituality is appealing to many gay men. Song of Songs, often taken as a metaphor for a relationship with God in Judaism or Christ in Christianity, is steeped in sexual imagery. Holy Communion itself is a sexual act, a spiritual consummation, receiving Christ's Body into the soul through the mouth. But none of that ever felt "dirty" to me.

Many religions use self-induced pain as a prayer technique, too, including Catholicism. Used properly it can be a way to induce ecstasy.

I don't see the problem.

So um, are you saying you're not him?

Okay, how about this, you show us what you really look like so we can close this case and know your not him :angel2:

Where are the dolphins?

You know what? I didn't want to sound like a pervert before, but I too cannot see any dolphins :cool:

I could be related to such a man perhaps? If I said I was loosely related to him would that help you maybe? :D
