The Five Pillars of Islam....thought I'd beat Bowmann to it.
1.Faith or belief in the Oneness of God and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad;
2.Establishment of the daily prayers;
3.Concern for and almsgiving to the needy;
4.Self-purification through fasting;
5.The pilgrimage to Makkah for those who are able.
However, it's irrelevant if you can't recite them. You need to recite your entire Haj to Mecca.

You know how the Islamofascists have conquered the Scandinavian country of Holland? Well, I've heard that not many of the Swedish Islamofascist brigade (those patrolling the city of Norway) can actually speak Hollandish!
It might be prudent for you to start learning Hollandish so, should the batteries ever run out in your minidisk and you get forced to re ...[text shortened]... cond word and that should convince them that you are a visiting Islamofascist from Holland.
Allah geschiedenis van Groningen god verdomme salaam!

Originally posted by WheelyThe word zakah means both "purification" and "growth." Our possessions are purified by setting aside a proportion for those in need and for the society in general. Like the pruning of plants, this cutting back balances and encourages new growth.
It's pronounced Zakaat or something like that. No idea how it should be spelt.
Each Muslim calculates his or her own zakah individually. This involves the annual payment of a fortieth of one's capital, excluding such items as primary residence, car and professional tools.

Originally posted by Daemon SinIt was close enough to explaining your name and as this thread is about that, and should the system ever work again, you MIGHT be able to tell how people arrived at their names by hitting the "recommended" button.
To cut a long story short:
Originally, "Daemon" and "Sin" were two seperate nicknames. Then one day under the influence of drugs and alcohol, my friends decided that they didn't want me having mutilple nicknames so they stuck them together.
EDIT: Was this post REALLY worth being recc'd?! 🙄
Originally posted by WheelyI used to call myself "Mark" on the internet.
Well that's easy for you to say!!
Now tell me what the hell "shavixmir" means! I almost forgot what I started this thread about now!
But, there's a 6th layer of hell of a lot of Marks on the internet and eventually I didn't know if I'd written something or not.
So then I started using MJ. But, there's a 7th layer hell of MJ's on the internet as well and I started losing track of what I was doing.
(I used to have a website, a discussion forum: http://www.network54.com/Forum/117171/ , etc, etc, and I couldn't handle it.
At the time though (late 90's) I was writing a novel called: Ge Thsemini (a title which would probably be dead funny on the spiritual forum). It's a fantasy story based on a role-playing game I wrote when I was 19 to 22 (it took us 3 years to perfect the rules. And I swear to God that they're still better than Warhammer or AD&D) and the evil character (disposed king of Cidal) was called Shavixmir.
And I've used that name ever since, because no one else does.
If you google Shavixmir you can even trace my behaviour back to 2000 at least.
And you can find two of my on-line (but not literally corrected) novelettes: Ge Thsimini and The girl, the writer and his dick (dick obviously meaning private eye) 😉
And you can still download my role-playing game.
But where the hell it all is...Jeez....as if I could be arsed!

Originally posted by RagnorakThanks for that, I never knew you were really Ragnarok.
I misspelled (due to faulty information) the Norse mythological armageddon.

I first saw your name in that aborted RHP versus Ironman31 game where I didn't have a clue what you were all talking about but it still fascinated me. I wondered then what the hell your name meant.
Any chance you'd care to explain why? You still get the rec even if you prefer not to!

I too found "Mark" to be an annoyingly common internet name. I will look up your stuff, just out of interest.
Today, however, I was pleased to note that my full name finally made it to page 2 of a google search which isn't too bad considering there's a famous US baseball player and a well known DJ with the same name 🙂
