Introduction to Islam

Another memorable training session, introducing us to Islam in 45 minutes.  Apparently, if pressed, we should quote the Koran and say "there is no compulsion in religion" لا اكراة في الدين

Additionally, we were warned that you can have no more than four wives, and only two of them can be sisters.  That latter part is an especially good idea.

We're not allowed to drink for at least the next three months; it's "shuma", which I confuse with Shamu, the whale.  This is in part because, in the words of our Islam teacher, 'if you drink, you become the devil's workshop'.  Can't argue with that.
