Hello there, 
Just been looking around after I got shown a post here, and I just liked the way everything looked. (It's all so pretty).
Either way just thought I'd say hi and introduce myself.
I'm not sure how much you can tell from what I put in my info, but basically:
I'm an Unorthodox Sunni Muslim:
Translations:
Unorthodox: I disagree that certain things are Islamic, whilst orthodoxy suggests they are. Usually minor things such as segregated schools I don't think are.
Sunni: I follow the Sunnah of the Prophet.
Muslim: I believe in one god, that his true name is Allah, that Mohammed(pbuh) was his messenger, and that the Quran is the revealed word of God.
I'm not entirely sure where you'd say I'm from so here is a general breakdown, and you can call me what you like:
My Mother's Mother: English - Church of England.
My Mother's Father: Italian - Roman Catholic.
My Father's Mother: Iranian - Sunni Muslim.
My Father's Father: Emiraty(United Arab Emirates) - Sunni Muslim.
I was born in South Shields - England.
I have both a British, and a UAE passport.
I've lived in England for 10 years, and the UAE for 10 years.
I'm currently in England at university studying Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, but my permanent address is in the UAE, and I'll be moving back probably as soon as I'm done. Unless I go to the states for a while to do a masters, or even stay here for one.
My username is nothing to do with Beezlebub(The Devil), Baalthazar(The Biblical idol), Baal(Lord of Destruction). The cover of a Metallica Single only released in the UK, called "Jump into the Fire" had a picture of a demon on the cover. The artist called the demon Baalthazac. The story of Baalthazac is that he was outcast from the netherworld because he did not obey the other demons. He now is eternally searching for a way to return to the netherworld. Some people see this as the same story as Lucifer's ejection from paradise, but I tend to think it's closer to mankind's ejection from paradise, because unlike Satan, mankind can return. So hence the name.
Oh! Political opinions:
Mainly that you are allowed to have your own political opinions seperate of Democrat and Republican. Just because I wouldn't have voted for GWB, does not mean I would have voted for Gore (or anyone else for that matter). Think outside the box a little.
Anyway, you get the general idea I guess.
Oh and I talk too much. You may notice. I even edited it to add more stuff.
