1. The religion. I imagine some abstract thing I can't explain. It's somewhat similar to a moon but it's all messed up and squiggly. It's sorta gold and purple and it gives a sense of mysticism and coolness, oddly enough.

2. I have books on it as well as a Koran that I really should get to reading some day, as soon as I'm finished reading the Holy Bible, which given my progress, should take another ten years just to get to the New Testament. Hey, not my fault there's other stuff that catches my attention more than the bible. Right now I'm reading a book on the history of Logic that is simply fascinating.

3.If do I asked to asking? I would ask him what other interesting books I could read that are from people who are inspired by the Islamic religion, and are there any Islasmic philosophers I should know about? It's one thing to see the religion itself, but the missing piece is to see the people following it, believing it, and see how their lives are affected by Islam.
