That's a wonderful tradition. I love how arabic customs alwayys seem so much more natural and spiritual than our westernequivalents. I assume this helped your relationship with your cousin?

Honestly, I love the lore and customs of most religions.

It's the extremist nutjobs that make me irk.

But religions, being the sum of hundreds (if not thousands) of years of humanity in all it's facets, good or bad, certainly have a lot to teach us.

Yeah, it did help our relationship. We still disagree on many levels but we treat each other with respect :)

There are some traditions that are really beautiful because they are universal, independent of the current "age". While others are absolutely stupid.
