gothic

[reception]

I know a muslim turned gothic how does that work???????

Well are you talking about ancient Gothic Christianity, I have known Christians to convert to Islam, so why not the other way round? If you mean the musically orientated subculture, then what does Islamic scriptures say exactly - to cause you such consternation? Or does the mere prospect of any individual (religious or not) turning Goth make you feel queasy?

No I just dont understand surely the goths do not beleave in God so why would they ( muslm) walk around wearing unside down cross when they are not christains anyway what bearing can that have?

I think you have a slightly distorted notion of what a Goth actually is. And in any case, once a person knows their own mind, they have the right to decide which path to follow.

[Octavius]

Well I presume the Muslim doesn�t have any issue with it, and neither do I really. As for what bearing can that have - I have no idea. I doubt it means he is a Satanist but then not many Goths really are these days.

Can I pick up some points?

Goth is a love of a style of dress, music and possibly certain literature, film and art. It has nothing to do with religion.

Secondly, Goths aren't Satanists, and even if they were this is a Judeo/Islamic/Christian heresy, therefore requires a belief in a Judeo/Islamic/Christian God. I haven't met many who wear upside down crosses, (but I'm sure some kids do).
