Islam is a pro-Aspergers religion (unlike Christianity)
But then I started reading about Islam and it seemed like a much more accepting relgioun. I started going to Masjid ("mosque", to you heathens) and it was so much more welcoming than any chrurch i have ever been too... I felt like all us Muslims there were one big family, and actually, in Allahs eyes, we are. Nobody made a big deal about me being an aspie, or being a satirist... i went to at least 3 mosques in my area, and my experienc was the same at each one. I also found other muslim aspies who have reported the same opinions, they're all happier as Muslims! i think have found the best religion not just for myself but for all Apsergians and all mankind. What do you think? Do you all think that Islam is the best faith for Aspies? Do you think that maybe it was just the Christians in my area that were stuck up and stupid, or is xtianity in general just a dum and close-minded religion?
I severely doubt the validity of this claim. This looks like a transparent act of evangelizing by means of "lying for jesus/mohammad".
Shame on you.
All religions appear 'nice' at the start. The more converts the better, so people are always friendly and loving every time someone new steps into their church or mosque or temple etc. And no one is going to tell you the bad things about their faith... it's like a salesman... their product is always the best
As far as I'm aware, NO religion is pro-aspie. The whole point is not to nurture individuality and difference but to promote a sort of "hive" mentality and unquestioning obedience. Group loyalty is important... you have to dress like them, talk like them, pray together etc. Religion arose from the human need for social cohesion, so the more you tow the party line, the better.
Holy jesus-violating-buddah that's a great word, GODSPAM - I will add it to my vocabulary.
Also, Cave Canem, I think what Catlover meant was premature death and mass murder, like the time Mohammad allegedly decapitated about 700 Jews, or the Muslims that carried out the 9/11 attacks presumably these mass murders done out of tolerance and respect.

I am non religious. Wake up! no matter what religion you are or what country do you live in people will always be an ass to the guy with AS. No religion is pro AS, the muslims you met happened to be nicer than the christiants in your area, as already pointed out here. And yeah, I don't go to a praying place regulary at all, it's just a waste of time. I have better things to do. This is my opinion tho.
Good luck being a muslim.

Shame on you.
I had a job as a furniture saleswoman once - I was terrible at it, but one principle I did absorb is that you never make a sales pitch for a item by denigrating its cheaper alternative. Even if the one you are trying to sell really is better, talk about it on its own merits, don't try a 'negative sell'.

I would have to say that any minority group would tend to more open and friendly?
1. few people around so good to make new friends
2. power in numbers
3. in small groups every one knows everyone, so knowing you first is a plus for them as they can talk about the new guy
4, bordom. people may want to expand their circle of friends in a small group.
5 ect
ok, i only read the title and a few comments, so here's what i think:
the "islam unlike christianity is pro-aspie" title is kinda stupid, sorry. it implies that (i haven't read the first post in detail) christianity is intolerant against people with different wiring and that's kinda...well, stupid.
and to whoever thinks prophet muhammed was a pedophile, check these two links to have the proof once and for all
1. did prophet muhammed marry a 9 year old?
2. aisha age
sooo, how old was aisha when prophet muhammed married her, again?
oh, around 19, that's right.
and btw, islam does tolerate other minorities- including homosexuality, and never once is it stated that they should lose their rights or be killed or whatever else that was said before in this topic. in fact, muslims are ordered to protect the rights of minorities living amongst them, or else...
what else?... oh, that whole "stone adulterers" thing? here's what you have to do to prove adultery:
1- not less than four witnesses who saw it taking place, and i'm not talking about romantic gestures or talk here, i'm talking about the sexxorrs itself
2- if those witnesses made an extra effort to see the deed, like peered through a window or something similar, they're the ones who'll end up being punished by getting their asses thrown in jail
3- the adulterers have to be muslim, of coarse, otherwise muslim sharia (law) cannot be applied to them
so, four muslim people had to have been forced to witness two (or more
) muslim people having sex on the street or something equally public in order to report on the adulterers. easiest thing in the world to come across AND prove, right?

I had a wonderful, loving relationship with a U/U girl while in college. While SHE was a very open-minded, loving/lovable individual, U/Us are not guiltless when it comes to having a few of "those" in their congregations.
I attended her church once. I was doing ok until the sermon when the preacher starting spewing hate and talking about Christians being cannibalistic, vampiric zombie-worshippers. As it happens, I had the misfortune of showing up on "visitor's day." Well then, I'd hate to see what a regular Sunday is like!
[BTW: I don't at all think ALL U/Us are like that. I just don't think that particular leader represented the best of your church!]
