Besides, if I'm the military leader or whatever, I can make them right how I wish, and I'd make them right according to Shari'ah.
How are you going to do that when you don't even know what Islam is, being that you were born and raised in Atlantis which sunk long before the religion was invented?
1: Correction: it wasn't finalised then. More on that in the Islamic Discussion Thread if you wanna learn about that.
2: Aquaman was part mermaid part human and lived on the surface. So if that's me, I'd probs have a familiarity with Al-Islam (and if I was adopted into a Muslim family that's even more connection and a plus)
