[OOC] The Elder Scrolls: Fruits of Contention - Chapter 1 (Completed)

Interestingly enough, I do like Arabic music, although knowing the difference between the two, I do not know. Where I went to high school, I had several muslim friends. There were a good group of them too, almost fifty in each year, freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior. I learned how to do my own henna, and how to wear a hijab. Which actually has come in handy, because during the cold winter months, I have tied a scarf around my head like a hijab, and it's much warmer. If I see a muslim woman wearing hijab, I always smile at her, and tell her I like her hijab. The smile is worth it, as they're not expecting a white woman like myself to say such things. I feel like they're judged enough in America, a friendly word couldn't hurt. (:

@MacabreFox

Nasheeds lack instruments, being vocal only. They're particularly favored amongst more fundamentalist Islamic groups because of an attributed saying of the Prophet that forbids musical instruments.

And here's what I write to.

It always pays off to be nice. I can write pretty jaded and cynical characters but I can't bring myself to be like them. And I guess as long as we're on the subject, here's what I usually write to.

@Peik

Ah, well then the answer is yes. As I do like the Arabic vocals I here. I don't know how they do that, or what they're saying, but it sounds rather exotic. To my understanding, there are two major groups in Islam, the Sunni's and the Shiite's, and the Shiite's are more extreme in their beliefs than their fellow Sunni's. But nonetheless, their culture is beautiful when considering Iran, is simply modern-day Persia.

@Leidenschaft

Yes. Most people these days have a hard time being kind to others. They're just too cold, like they don't care. But kindness doesn't cost anything. So it doesn't make sense to me to be cold, and offstanding with people.

@MacabreFox

Well, the difference between them stems from a matter of succession, though the 1200-1300 year schism has understandably torn them apart from each other even further. They've both got their extremists.

@Peik

Agreed. I've done a bit of religious studies in my yester-years, and I was always particularly fond of world literature.

[Leidenschaft]

There's a connotation that comes with Nasheeds I think nowadays, but eh. I think they're just as cool as some of the Christian/Catholic chants I've heard. Case in point.

Even the songs other than their nasheeds are great. *

@Frizan@MiddleEarthRoze
Writing up my next post, and just wanted to say, that Sevine is going to extend an invitation for Roze, and Sagax to join her at Leif's house, as he promised her bacon. So if y'all want to come with, there'll be plenty of bacon. (;

Doesn't sound like Alinor Vintage, bottled in moonstone and corked with malachite, flavored with white tea leaves filtered through a sieve of silk.

Alinor Vintage or not, Bacon wins. Hands down. Every time.

Why not both?

@Leidenschaft

Certainly, you need a nice cold glass of Alinor Vintage to wash down the charred, greasy taste of pure pig fat.
