Comments like Ahmed's are why I can't have these conversations with most muslims. This question was a genuine one to which I am interested in finding out why anti-Semitism still exists, AND what can be done to put an end to it.
I have no interest in debating about whether Zionists are racist...

I don't have one favorite show, I have several that I watch, and my taste changes often.
My avatar is still better than yours (I assume you remember mine before this awesome avatar). :p

I don't walk sideways when I drink too much milk... at least not that I am aware of...

"Super" nuts? Quite possibly!!

Cold and windy, but not bad enough to keep me from waiting outside for 45 minutes for a good pizza. :)
@StarryNightshade
Sufis!! They are much more spiritual than Sunnis; Sufism is very much focused on purification of the heart and less focused on ritualistic practice.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any sect of Islam that is accepting of LGBT... I do, however, know of Muslims who are...
These people are sick. Extremist Islam needs to be stopped in its tracks, but I don't think people honestly know how to do it. Even the US doesn't know what steps to take to make it go away (or they DO know, but don't want to ruffle the feathers of our despicable KSA "allies".
Islam is 100% in...
I think it SHOULD be important, and I am very annoyed that female sports aren't highlighted more. I have never understood the reason behind that. I think it is very important for girls' body image to be athletic and recognized for being so. Girls should be strong and fit. I would just hope that...
I'm not sure if you're replying out of sarcasm or irony, but this thread is over two years old...
(If it's sarcasm and irony, I get it, just letting you know).
@DawudTalut Thank you. I am blessed with a loving, caring family. :)
@Jayhawker Soule I love a good burger, lots of pastas, and hot fudge sundaes are yum. :p
Of course I like Indo-Pak foods too, but we've discussed that before. :)
@DawudTalut
We can never know what path our children will take. All we can do is guide them with morals and hope for the best. After all, the essence of religion is morality. The rituals are just methods of worship.
@DawudTalut
Thank you for your thoughts; can we keep this to asking questions though? This isn't a thread for trying to reconvert me or convince me to choose any religion. ;)
Ohhh, sorry @melkisedeke! That confusion between diseases is made so often I thought that's what you meant! As you know, Graves disease is hyperthyroidism, which is what most people confuse with what I had. Thanks for your kind thoughts. :D
@melkisedeke
Thank you for your kind words. :D It means a lot to me to know my posts are of value. Greatly appreciated.
Also, thank you for reading my blog; I had a rough 2013 with the hip labrum repair and hyperparathyroidism. I did not have Graves disease, however. My thyroid was very...
@Jayhawker Soule
That is an excellent question, and to be honest, I haven't really said much to my husband about my beliefs; I just stay relatively quiet. Religion is more important to him than it is to me, so I pretty much let him guide the children spiritually.

I live in the good ol' US of A. I have visited Pakistan and UAE several times, though.
I can read and write a little Urdu, but not enough to get through more than a sentence or two.
I have no idea if I will realign with Islam; I can't align myself with a culture that won't reform and...
@Revoltingest
I became Muslim in college, when I met several other Muslims and became interested in it. My father is from Pakistan, and his family is very liberal Muslim; I guess I got into the culture, and the religion kind of followed.
Favorite cartoon is Tom & Jerry and the Pink Panther...
