I will not lock the thread. Matter of fact, yesterday I was thinking to myself about a number of issues, on a personal level and how I am going about handling them.
On the side, non Muslim members were part of my thinking. As one of the issues was handling children when they go wrong.
Certainly they dont mean to stress us grown ups out, they dont mean to be nasty or source of trouble most of the time. They are just children and see things differently.
Just exactly as non Muslims. They things differently, they an impact, directly or indirectly from our course of action and life style. They see that we are not allowed to do this or that. They see that we justify things on different bases.
So we are different. Certainly they mean no harm, I mean if they are people like you, who dont push us Muslims towards a wall or jeopardize our practice of the religion.
Then I started developing a different way of thinking, taking all this in consideration and keeping it in mind.
So consider this a new Muslimah. Btw my approach towards non Muslims was never far from this. I always feel so sorry for them, really sorry, for what they are wasting and loosing, while thinking they are having the best.
But it gave me more insight towards their attitude. Only the peaceful ones. The hostile ones I also have a different persepctive about them.
