After they were grown I met an older Muslim man and was quite submissive in our relationship and I found it was quite wonderful after a lifetime of always making the final decisions. He was a wonderful man although very dominant. But that was not just because it was he was Muslim, it was due to the type of man he was. All men of his level of international power are similar.

Due to circumstances beyond our control (the goddam war in Iraq) we had to part.

I never said, btw, I am a GOOD Muslim did I? I read the Koran, I dress modestly and cover my hair, I do not eat pig, eat halal which is actually organic healthy pure food, do not drink alcohol or wear pants. I say my prayers most of the time but am not fanatic. My home has no face or living imagery on the walls, photographs are kept in albums.

Also because I came to Islam so late in life, there are things I simply do not adhere to. They just seem silly to me. Bad Muslim! I let dogs in my house!

I am also aware that most religions are man made methods of control of civilizations. I study all religious, currently I am studying the Jewish Talmud. I usually pick up things from each one that are of value. All I am learning from this Talmud is… I never knew the human mind could be so low filthy and absolutely venomous and hateful and be called a “Holy Book”.

From a lifetime of working with children, for day to day events, I believe humor deals effectively with problems.

Despite my thoughts and rebellious ideas, I am naturally a very polite and thoughtful person. I do not judge unless it is obvious, and even so I look at possible CAUSES for many behaviours in others rather than quickly condemn and that is a truly Muslim way.

My language is clean but I say what has to be said. Just check my blog. I do not speak like a Muslim, I speak like a human being with serious concerns.

Most of the Muslim women I know are strong women who say “He tries to hit me and I take the children and leave” “…I would knock his block off” These are Egyptian women, Syrian women, etc etc. I was offered marriage several times in places like Saudi Arabia and other repressive Muslim regimes and just said no. I have my limits and giving up my driving or rock and roll just do not make it possible.

So I hope that answers your question. As with every religion there are levels of devotion.

Muslim women want to be as fashionable as everyone else and there isn’t a bigger fashion icon than Hello Kitty. This burqa is exactly what they have craved so that they can share being fashionable and loving Hello Kitty with the rest of the world.

It’s time you got off your high horse and told the truth because we are all tired of your lies.

You have just been blogged!

Just tooooo funny. Omg… I am gonna laugh all night, especially at your comments.

BicycleBob, I have been involved in feminism since the ’60′s and have come to the conclusion that like everything else that must be handled with political correctness, all humor is killed. People get so wrapped up they forget to laugh. PC has killed laughter and much joy on this planet. But what else could you expect from a creation of the Frankfort School of Germany, a Marxist creation to prepare the world for a Communist overtake?

As both Feminist AND Muslim, I find no problem laughing. So, lighten up a little bit. This from someone who is into heavy duty serious politics… here is where I come for a giggle after writing politics all day. Not all Muslim women are oppressed.

Friedrich has it pretty straight. The Taliban/Wahabbi might dislike it because it could make someone smile. However I can see this going over big in Palestine provided the Israelis would let HK in, but probably not cos it would add happiness. Dubai and the Emirates, not a problem. Syria either. Surely in Iraq. Not toooo sure about Malaysia or Kerala, but they are big on cuteness down there too. Personally, I would wear it. ‘

And yeah, that is a dude in that burka.
