I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was.

Neither am I. He believes that soon enough, the rock will strike the feet of Islam and send it crumbling. Apparently, in Africa, 6 million Islams are being saved per year. An Islamic leader said to those of Sudan: "If you do not stop the conversions, within two years there will be no Muslims in Sudan."

I'd like to start off by saying that the presence of another rational human being is like the weight of the sky off my shoulders (I'm Atlas =P) and that it's awesome to see you.That's pretty interesting. I believe the dream itself was referring to specific nations to come, such as Rome, but the parallels that are drawn to Islam are most definitely a possibility. The Bible tends to have quite the duality.

Yes, that is what the dream was referring to, and the speaker believed that it has duality for Islam.

I'm so sorrrrrry
I had a lot of school and writing and reading and I was so busy but now I'm hopefully back I think
I learned something cool about Islam yesterday; you know Nebuchadnezzar's dream statue of gold, silver, bronze, iron, and clay? The speaker said he was asking God how Mohammed could have possibly deceived 1.5 billion Muslims, and he was pointed to that dream. Then he found out that Muslims acknowledge that their religion has a metaphorical structure of none other than gold, silver, bronze, iron, and clay. The gold, silver, and bronze are what's not iron and clay, and the speaker said that 80 percent of our Bible is in the Quran, for example, our story of creation and Adam and Eve, and Moses and Isaac and Jacob and Abraham and Isaiah and others. The iron is the fear and the violence that Mohammed added, like Jihad, and the clay is the other crazy stuff Mohammed put in like if you're a martyr you apparently get 72 women in heaven, or if you're away from your wife you can sign a contract for a "pleasure marriage" for even just a few hours. Weird.

Mmmmmm... maybe. I don't know about strings at all.

I love the sound of all strings except the guitar and its ilk. *shudders*

Trombone is one of the oldest instruments, actually.

The harp is older if you consider its ancestor, the lyre.

Sitting there. Waiting. Watching.

"Play." I'm primarily a trombone player that happens to know the piano keys. If you put music in front of me, I can play it, but there's no guarantee it'll be immediately good. I just take my knowledge of music as a whole and transpose it onto piano.

Interesting. I just realised I completely forgot that you were a trombone player wow
