Are you Muslim or just being silly? I can't tell as I am new to the thread

No muslim. I'm being about 90% serious about that 12 number and the multiple house thing. David Panton really is my idol - that wasn't a joke when I said I aspired to live up to his "shining example".
This would all be done serially, though. I don't think I'd have the gumption to keep multiple women under the same roof simultaneously. You and Mandy had a couple of fathers with real guts (and a whole lot of game). I salute them.
Did you guys actually feel like you were funny after posting this?
Edit: It appears as though sashafierce actually buys into religious stereotypes and is not a troll
Sooo, polygyny in Islam is a thing. If a Muslim man has the financial means + a good reason (sick wife/desire for more kids) he is allowed under Muslim law to take another wife (up to 4), once his first wife consents.
So based on Gohan's statements 1) desire for lots of kids 2) kids with different women 3) different houses I was wondering if he is Muslim.
I was not stereotyping, I was just following my statements and decided to ask him directly rather than assume.

Funny? Are u saying that multiple wife thing doesn't happen?I personally know Muslim men with a desire for and who have acquired multiple wives (I've been asked two times after he never revealed that he was Muslim to me when we dated).
Are you trolling or are you actually this stupid?
Excuse you?

You're ignorant AF. Polygamy in Islam was primarily utilized to preserve the population and provide for orphans at the beginning of the religion because war killed many of the men. Today it is restricted/illegal across the Middle East and is very rare.
You do realize that some Christians practice polygamy too, right? That doesn't make it accurate to stereotype Christians as polygamists either. Religious stereotypes are just as offensive as ethnic stereotypes and you should feel bad.
Now go back to shitpoasting about Beyonce in an on-topic discussion.

And you are rude as hell. Honestly if you're not going to generate honest healthly discussion. Your opinion or validation is not needed in this thread. Where do you come off as thinking you are the holy grail or some type of informant. There are several ways you could have addressed this topic without jumping out of pocket and speaking the way you did. You have no authority and basically no status. So you have been dismissed and can continue on with what you were doing. Because you are #Basic and #Common. I honestly do not see where you think you can get off talking to the people in this thread this way. Calling people stupid and ignorant. Have some class and learn how to address people.

To make sure you get and emphasize the point. Because obviously somewhere or someone along the way forgot to educate you on how to address individuals. Now I am done speaking to you because I am not going to give you your 5 seconds of fame.

The delivery was off but i don't think its debatable that John is right
I heard you were raised by a single parent. Are you a minority? This is a fair question to ask because some minorities are raised by single parents. Ive even met one.
That's clearly messed up logic

Being the person that I am, I confirmed my statement and my response with two strict Muslims first thing this morning before I posted my response to you and one of them did go through the history with me so no I am not ignorant.
I apologize if you are offended because it was a friendly conversation and based on my knowledge, I asked someone an honest question that clearly offended you.

Thanks, Nova. I was too abrasive in making my point and for that I apologize to both Mandy and Sasha.

Dismantling religious stereotypes makes me a troll? I always thought fomenting them was more trollish

Yes, I received it when I first thought about applying straight out of college, but I didn't apply that year.

No. I heard your chances of getting it increase exponentially the higher up the T14 you go. Note that they are prestige conscious, which is why they wait to see where you put in your seat deposit to accept or ding you.
