Patriot Act,

I love how no one read that, and they got it passed in the middle of the night, very very interesting I would not be surprised if they are breathing down my throat as of now, not paranoid, just expect the worst. Just a little tip to my fellow Americans, don’t use humor, or any kind of off colored jokes, these people don’t appreciate humor.

Ganja_Girl... did i miss something??

lol, I can imagine them spending hours going through my mail, and other stuff. I think it is funny as hell, but when did we become the police state we are now, how did this happen, and it happened fast. I am not a fan of Bush and I am pretty open about it. Lol Used to be I always feared being locked up aboard, now I fear being lock up in my own country. We have more people in prison in America than any other country in the world, pretty frightening.

I guess I would like them to work at enriching their lives... I am just thinking the reward they can get by helping those that need help. But instead.... well you know.

April, Sigh. I wish you'd just get it that Jews and Christians do cover, Christians not so much in the US but Jews yes.

Hey we've already moved on to another topic so let's not make a mountain out of a molehill. (No hagas una tormenta en un vaso de agua)

HisLittleMisriya, thanks for the advice. My American friends tell me to not worry about it but also to not argue with my husband's family because I won't win So I'm not touching that one with them!! Also I found out that my mother-in-law is deathly afraid of donkeys at night (?) she says that they're shayatin (?) have you heard of that? I haven't researched that one lately cuz I've been a little busy. And it's not like I happen upon hmir every day! Gosh what else is there, so much. Lots of Moroccan culture mixed in with Islam over here to create a "Moroccan Islam" is how I see it.

It's veeeeeery interesting though to see how converts practice Islam, for the most part, at least the ones I know, they're like cultureless, they don't have any cultural baggage that they bring into the religion with little superstitious practices, but keeping certain American cultural habits and traditions isn't un-Islamic either, I mean, aint nothing wrong with SuperBowl Sunday or baby showers or house-warming parties or countless other American traditions because they're not religious. (Right?) Oh yeah last night my husband told me that whenever I hear a hamar going eeeaawwweeeeaaaawww at night to say authoobilahiminashaytanirrajim. Do you guys do that too? Not like I would've known that back in the States, not many asses around. (Well...)

April

Ok so this is what i've found out.. if a donkey bays or a dog barks at night you are to say that because they've heard something at night that you haven't. We typically not find the "best" of people roaming around at night, not to say they are satan but well who knows? but per my book

"Fortress of the Muslim Invocations from the Qur'an and Sunnah" it says "When you hear a dog barking or a donkey braying in the night, then seek refuge in Allah from them, for surely they have seen what you see not." (abu Dawud graded it authentic in Sahih Abu Dawud)

As far as the Gin in the sink?? I remember asking my husband about this when we got off the phone and he seemed like he didn't want to tell me... he's on the site i'll ask him to see if he'll contribute to the "moroccan" tales.

Ok so I asked my hubby he said that we shouldn't poor hot scolding hot water down the drain because of the Gin.... ummmm news to me. But when I asked him for a Hadith on it he said he didn't know... I asked him to please ask... I'll check out on my end but I think it's more a cutural thing than Islamic...

Now as far as Islam goes that is the beauty of Islam the cultural diversity and accpetance that I enjoy sooo much. We just have to be careful what we label "Islamic" and what is "Cultural"

Kind of like changing your name when you convert... that's not Islamic as far as I found ??? But I did hamdolah and love my name..."hope"
