    Movie: 300

    Mmhmm, the battle referred to here took place 480 "BC". And to be perfectly frank, I think we all have to admit that it doesn't matter WHAT the filmmakers intended to say with the movie...people will draw their own conclusions and run with it, claiming that they're backed by the opinions of...

    :salam2: Hello everyone :) I am Brie. I'm 23, a student in Arizona state, and a (very!) recent convert, الحمد لله! Which is kind of my problem. I'm a Religious Studies major, my studies are what led me to Islam. I've been reading and thinking about it for well over a year now when 3 nights...
