back 2 the topic


I think what Intuitition is wondering is why the people stare like that esp among the muslims.


I think People don't mix alot in the arab countries, what i mean by that is (racially). Most people marry within their race so maybe thats why they look so weird.


And ofcourse Allah knows best but that seems to be a common thing.


One time in Canada there was a Somali Sister living there she was in uni. This saudi brother fell in love with her. he was born in canada. He ended up proposing to her, the sister didn't have any family in canada, most of her fmaily members were killed in somalia in the war, So he said to her come with me to saudi and meet my family. inshallah my fmaily will be your mahram. After refusing for awhile she gave in and went with him to saudi. when they came to his fmailies home to meet the family. He told them before hand that he's bringing a girl with him whom he wants to marry but he didn't tell them where she was from etc. When they entered the house, family members travelled from all over arabia to see the girl. When they saw her they all became shocked. they kept saying to him why did you bring us this? everyone started becoming unhappy and hysterical. Everyone kept saying to him, why would u marry her when you can have an arab woman who is light skinned. They looked down upon the girl. The Brother still wanted to marry her regardless of what his family thought,  he kept saying to them: she is a good muslimah and I love her. He went over to the girl and he said to her forget them I'm going to marry you anyway. She however refused, she told him that she does not want this type of a fmaily to be related to a child that will come out of her body one day. The Young Sister took the next flight available back to Canada and left him and his family.


So I think it's not the holding hands itself that they are looking funny at it's everything else too, dont u think?

Such an incident does not have to mean that all saudi's are like that, i know many saudi's or kuwaiti's or any other middle east nationalty who mary african women, this racial descrimenation came to us first from the Jahliyah roots, and second from western communities, now every1 is fighting it and a few incident here or there is not a big problem.

But believe me it feels quite weird to have all of these people ogling & starring at you, as though you have 3 eyes or your the shortes man on earth or something. wacko.gif
