Is touring on a vespa fun?

Absolutely exhilerating! Compare riding in a Cadilac 400 miles on the thruway to Grandmothers house to Driving a vintage scooter 400 miles to Grandmother's house on back highways. The scooter, Grama and the back roads have stories to tell, they are all rich with history, the back roads, the vespa and Grama! They all could tell a story of their lives, the people they knew and the places they have been. They are alive, just like you are when you hop on that scooter, feel the leather seat beneath you, slide the key into the ignition, turn on the gas, pull the choke in, kick the starter lever and wonder how quickly it will start. The scooter rumbles to life, you can feel it thru your body. You mechanically pull in the clutch lever and turn the handlebar to select first gear, you skillfully slip the clutch lever out while giving it some gas and your "girl" carries you away on an "adventure" to grama's house. It becomes a journey that you are a part of, that you will never forget. Oh how wonderful, all your senses are awakened as you cruise your faithful little scooter all the way to Grama's house smelling fresh clean air and seeing brand new sights. You arrive like a pioneer explorer with "new" strories to tell all about your brave Journey. Oh, it is sooo much more than a ride to Gramas house, so much more......FUN. Dave Bentley

How has Judaism and Christianity influenced Islam?

Answer 1Judaism was the religion founded by Abraham more than 3000 years ago. Abraham's first son, Ishmael, was the ancestor of Muslims. Islam has dietary restrictions that are very similar to the kashrut of Judaism. Also, Judaism and Islam are both monotheistic religions, with certain principles that are ingrained in the Jewish tradition. The Islamic notion of Allah is just the Arabic word for God.Answer 2Judaism actually had a profound impact on the development of Islam. Several lines in the Qur'an are direct copies or paraphrases of Jewish sources that surely existed by 500 C.E. -- over 100 years prior to the Qur'anic Revelation.Some of these verses include:Q: 5:31 which corresponds to a story in Targum Y. ben Uzziah -- A raven scratches the ground to tell a dumbfounded Cain how to dig a burial pit for his murdered brother.Q: 5:32 which corresponds to Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5 -- This is the famous line that killing one person is like killing the entire world. Both specifically related this story to Cain because the bloods of Abel cry out.Q: 21:50-71 which corresponds with Midrash Breishit 38:11-13 -- Abraham is breaking idols in his father, Terah's workshop. The idolmakers get furious and demand that Abraham be punished. Abraham protests saying that the idols are meaningless because there is only One God and He is not in the idols. The idolmakers decide to burn him alive for desecrating the idols, but Abraham miraculously escapes being burned alive.Q: 24:24 which corresponds with the Talmud in Chagigah 16, and Taanith 11 -- Both sources state that the various body parts (specifically hands and feet) of a person will testify against him when he arrives in heaven.Q: 27:16-44 which corresponds with Targum Esther -- Solomon speaks to a large and powerful bird who informs him that there is a Queen in a remote land, which happens to be the Queen of Sheba in Ethiopia. Solomon demands that the bird bring her a message to come and speak with him. The Queen complies and believes Solomon to be a very wise king.In addition to the numerous Qur'anic verses that have origins in Jewish belief, the entire system of Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) is modeled in the same manner as Rabbinic scholarship. Holy Texts are read and interpreted to give meaning and discretion to current situations and these are debated by jurists (Faqih) until such a time as an answer is created and a religious decision (fatwa) published. (In Judaism it is the same; but replace Fiqh with Oral Law, Faqih with Rabbi, and fatwa with responsum.)Additional similarities between the religions include that both Judaism and Islam reject the Trinity as the Godhead, are based in orthopraxis (doing over believing), have a form of religious jurisprudence based on their holy books, have dietary restrictions, and pray in distinct holy languages at set intervals during the day.
