There is a famous saying in Japan, 「お米一粒に七人の神様がいる」(There are 7 Gods in every piece of rice.)
Does this mean people actually think there is 7 miniature gods inside of the piece of rice?
Often I receive comments from Japanese and non-Japanese alike telling me that Japan has many Gods, Islam has only one. Japan is just too different and will never accept Islam.
...As a reverted Muslim who was born into a Buddhist family but also visited Shinto Shrines throughout the year, I obviously disagree.
I am working on a video to explain why Japan and Islam aren't as far away as one might imagine. The editing is going to take me some time, so please be patient with me :)
