Arab/Middle Eastern Paganism

[Hax]

Well,

I certainly know that in Turkey, far off from major cities such as Istanbul and Ancara, that people still practice a mix of Pagan believes with Islamic influence.

To answer question 4), you must understand that many countries in the middle-east have not yet accepted the relatively open-minded thinking that Europe has.

And for all you people that attack Islam, I'd suggest going out there, or just visit a Mosque in your surrounding, and ask about Islam. Or heck, just read the Koran before you start calling it a bad religion.

For all you interested, I am not a muslim. I am a Celtic reconstructionist Pagan, with influences from Hellenism. My father however, is a muslim and my mother is a reformed Christian, so I consider myself to be pretty neutral.

I have a way of thinking about religion. It's that religion itself doesn't call to violence, but as soon as it starts getting organized, with people telling other people what to do (e.g. Catholic priests, Imams, Rabbis) it is going the wrong way.
