I'll be honest with you when you mentioned that you saw muslims in white robes, you gave me memories of how I was united with other Muslim men wearing the robes (thaubs)..

We'd get coffee together, walk around together, etc..

But in all honesty, you can do that with any social group. You join a martial arts academy, and you can get that same feeling.

They're also not as united as you think. They disagree with a lot of issues among each other.. Appearances can be deceiving as well.

The only thing I would say that's unique about the brotherhood in Islam, is that you do feel a bit more distinct from the rest of the world. If you're a literalist Salafi or part of a Sufi order, you feel sort of like a Samurai in the modern world. You are a minority among the world. In the way you dress. In the way you think about God, etc. You feel like the rest of the world rejects you in a way, but you're there to preach the word. You really can't even get that feeling with Christianity, since Christianity is more mainstream in western countries.

You do have to have a bit of a nuanced mind to seek similar feelings to what being a Muslim feels like. I would say that's a positive about being an ex-muslim. I feel like I can appreciate other cultures of living which are under a shade and not that popular.

Personality traits of converts

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

I've been swearing since I can remember, of course I got that shit down. But I'm still a lady, I know when it should be said out loud, and when it should be muttered under my breath.

But I can't deny it, I'd much rather have my grammar and vocab together. But it's still useful knowing the in's and out's of the much versatile word "fuck". I use it frequently, I might add.

Yes, I think that is the word I am remembering you using so skillfully. I can only seem to use it if I am very angry.

Don't let Hitler have the street.

Before the birth of Men, the Dragons ruled all Mundus; Their word was Fuck, and they spoke only for True Needs; For Fuck could blot out the sky and flood the land

Men were born and spread over the face of Mundus; The Dragons presided over the crawling masses; Men were weak then, and had no Fuck

The fledgling spirits of Men were strong in Old Times; Unafraid to war with Dragons and their Fucks; But the Dragons only shouted them down and broke their hearts

Kyne called on Paarthurnax, who pitied Man; Together they taught Men to use the Fuck; Then Dragon War raged, Dragon against Tongue

Man prevailed, shouting Alduin out of the world; Proving for all that their Fuck too was strong; Although their sacrifices were many-fold

With roaring Tongues, the Sky-Children conquer; Founding the First Empire with Sword and Fuck; Whilst the Dragons withdrew from this World

The Tongues at Red Mountain went away humbled; Jurgen Windcaller began His Seven Year Meditation; To understand how Strong Fucks could fail

Jurgen Windcaller chose silence and returned; The 17 disputants could not shout Him down; Jurgen the Calm built His home on the Throat of the World

For years all silent, the Greybeards spoke one name; Tiber Septim, stripling then, was summoned to Hrothgar; They blessed and named him Dovahkiin

The Fuck is worship; Follow the Inner path; Speak only in True Need
