Bismillah


To my understanding, may be the original poster puppet was aiming through this post to alret Muslims who are living in non muslim countries against being pulled into the waves. I think Curious started a thread on how Muslim immigrants to non muslim countries are looked at from their fellow nationals. I think that was the aim of the original post.


I do share the same opinion, that some of them, not all, some of them try hard to change in order to adapt. They even choose names to their children that are generic like Ramsey, Sarah, etc in order to fit in and melt into the socity.


So if u Curious and arclight are disapproving of some of the behaviour in your own community, we need to make sure such rejected issues are well underlined before our Muslim brothers and sisters for them to be aware. It is even better that u two made this open comment about rejecting such attitudes. May be a Muslim would read this and think twice before trying to melt in. May Allah Protect us all.

Muslimah, I can tell that you are a wise woman.


The fact is that, as a Christian (not just a nominal one), the things that Muslims hate about the west I also hate. Even Christians who believe as I do and embrace the Bible as the word of God are ridiculed by our media. There is a constant pressure for people here to be "open minded" even if it means forsaking your beliefs. I respect your people for clinging to what they believe is right.


I am about to be a father. My wife is 8 months along with our first child...a daughter. I can tell you right now that I'd rather have my daughter be modest and wear a covering like the Muslims than wear what some girls in America wear to the beach or while shopping! And I am not alone. A lot of my brethern agree with me...however...America is free. You are free to wear what you want to wear. Therefore, I can't make my fellow Americans share the same values that I value. I can, however, pray for them and try to influence them by my own behavior.
