Today I've been wandering around the old city in Damascus, watching live go by. I had a very interesting conversation with a guy from Afghanistan in an Iranian mosque, in German, who explained how Islam split up into Sunni and Shi'ite (my German isn't very good though, but I understand quite a bit) and the history of the religion. We then moved on to politics, the Israel/Palestine confliction and how the West sees Islam - and how muslims think the West sees Islam. Interesting indeed.
My Arabic is still very poor, I only know a few words and the only thing I can write is the numbers, but I'm sure that in 2 weeks time I'll learn a bit more.
Merry Christmas
