1) sleeping around is bad, it has societal, social, moral implications but then i see guys in beards throw around words like misyar and mutaah. what is that all about and why does it make any sense.
I guess that is why Mutaah is not acceptable in some school of thoughts.
2) some say interest is usury, fine. but then the same people look at 'shariah compliant financing" , explain to me how shriah based financing in essence is any different than a fixed interest mortgage?
**
Any and every Islamic bank is backed up by a bank (maybe federal) that gives out loan on interest, so no matter how you look at it, the foundation of that financing is interest based. In my humble opinion, people should look beyond this faltooness of shariah compliant financing" (I wanted to use another word than faltooness but I know that people would mind)**
3) if you are not a blood relative you are na mehram and you observe hijab..so how does a simple act of nursing a child make him a 'mehram' its not that his genes changed, its not that he became a blood relative.
**
Meharm just means that they are disqualified for Nikah forever. It has nothing to do with being a blood relative.

4) I am have read by some that muslims should not dress like nonmuslims and that my jeans and jacket are bad, usually the type of people saying that are wearing the clothes traditional to their geographical area and either were clothes that they and non muslism both wore..and wear like iom middle east, or pakistan and india.
This is another faltooness. Prophet used to wear the same clothes that Abu Jehal (kafir) used to wear. Clothes conditions are it should not be bodily hugging enough to highlight body contours. One hadith is, you should avoid looking like kuffars and people get confused with dressing up like them
