is sagesse amazigh?

i honestly dunno.

findingmotherland replied to your post: I’m not quite sure who to ask but you seem pretty knowledgeable so I’m a pretty devout Shi’a Muslim and lately I’ve been seeing white non-Muslims wearing the Hamsa/Hand of Fatima as jewelry, tattoos, other stuff like that. How do I respond? It makes me so angry seeing them disrespecting something so special to me I want to slap them, srs.

The hand of Fatima is also known as the Hand of Mariam/Mary/other things/symbols in many cultures. I’d ask first before hurting anyone. It predates Islam as a symbol and imo isn’t very Islamic - a trinket can’t protect you, only Allah can.

i am aware of this. i never said it could protect anyone, or that it was a part of Islam. Arab =/= Islam. I said religiously, my father is against using the charm because it's superstition. However, it is a part of my culture.

We've established it's a part of other cultures, but it originated with the berbers and the arabs and spread outwards

Why yes, it IS something that is not a choice but determined by what genes are turned on and off in a person. 

kthnx

Allah is all knowing and created all things, and he created people who are gay.

It’s people like you that make LGBTQ teens think that God has no place for them in his heart. Of course he does - he made them and loves them for what they are.
