Well, first of all, it's spelled "possible". Secondly, Islam isn't a culture, it's a religion. Get it straight.

Islam isn't a culture, it's a religion.

And I'M the one who's ignorant?!!!

Do you think for an instant that you can separate religion and culture?!! What moral force shapes culture more strongly than religion, you bonehead? Islamic culture reflects Islamic religion, just as Western culture reflects the Judeo-Christian ethic. Anyone who's studied sophomore Western Civ has been exposed to that concept.

You've obviously missed the entire point of the article.

Islam isn't a culture, it's a religion.

Religions have customs and instructions for social interaction--the religion of Islam has a profound effect on the culture of Muslim countries. Go take your mindless objections and harassment someplace else.

Not only is it a culture with a ton of subcultures, it's also a political force.

[wingnuts'nbolts]

Islam is a religion that became a culture. It is all encompassing of the societies that practice Islam, religion, and state endorsed control of politics are directly from the teachings of the Koran.

He got it straight. Islam is both a culture and a religion. When Islam invaded Spain, it left behind alot of it culture and style (even the way that they made buildings).

In fact, I believe every religion is also a culture, if it wasn't it would be pretty dull - because culture go along with (and are affected by) religion.
