>>”Similarly, the religious fabric of the Najd and the Hejaz were vastly different. Traditional Hejazi cultural customs and rituals were almost entirely religious in nature. Celebrations honoring Muhammad, his family and companions, reverence of deceased saints, visitation of shrines, tombs and holy sites connected with any of these were among the customs indigenous to Hejazi Islam.[4]”<<
Honestly, I get a serious headache when looking at stuff like that.
I just blame it on a single person long ago, “salman al farsi” (his arabic name). He presumably taught those bloody bedouins Arabs. Pre-Islamic Arabs were mostly against Mo and his Islamic religious stuff. Mo took the best elements out of all other preceding religions, combined them with bedouin arab customs/traditions/beliefs, and applied them in the worst way possible, to satisfy his megalomania. The Iranian ayatollahs/mullahs are by-product of the same Islam, be it a different offshoot. AND ALL SHI’ITES WERE ARABS FIRST, not any other ethnicity or race.
I can quote a significant verse from Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh about muslim-arabs; but the meaning is too complicated ;-)
>>”May be Moslem casino :)”<<
Yep, Casino Royale!
Salman-al-Farsi — first a Zoroastrian mohad (priest), then a Nestorian Christian, then converted to Islam. You’re right, he probably taught Mo and team the subtleties of Zoroastrianism and Christianity to enable Mo to weave them into his narrative to create a unifying force for Semites
