(Elhamdullah) finally married to hbib

[Henia 11]

Ten pages of this and still going. I'm not really interested in reading any of it so if I'm interupting the current train of thought forgive me. I came back to say something because that's just that odd thing about me... irritating or not.

Its a sad thing when people choose to worship a religion instead of that which is... that which is the creation... Allah, God, Wakantanka, whatever label you wish to give it. Worshipping a religion is in essence creating false idol which was discouraged by the prophets (insert applicable prophet here...). I don't remember Mohammed saying to WORSHIP Islam. Respect it, yes. Embody it, yes. Worship it, nope. Idolize it, nope. I think we have borne witness to many fine examples of the result of false idol/religion worship. It leads to separation and pettiness... i.e. "war" on whatever scale. Look at the idiocy with the comment made by the pope. (Note: I did not say the pope is an idiot... I am referring to the fervor surrounding his comments... i.e. THAT idiocy.) Now the world is back to playing "my religion is better then your religion" on a grand scale.

I don't see how any of this embodies the "message" of religion. Even if you're not religious... there is still a "code" or "moral ethic" one lives by. Just depends on how you wish to shape the metaphor.

Anyway, now that the commercial break is over, carry on...

As usual Jean you have said it well,,, thanks,, May Allah give you ajr amin

Henia,

Do you have pics up somehwere? Did I manage to miss them? I am not yet technologically savvy enough to post mine, but it would be great for us to see some pics of Algerie. You painted such a vibrant picture, full of all the chaos and color of the place. Enjoy it!

Congratulations Henia !! What a beautiful story .... it kinds of reminded me our wedding in Lebanon

P.S. Please don't let all that "info" people are posting get you down. If I was you I wouldn't lof into VJ till I'm through my honeymoon

Insult is the last refuge of an exhausted mind.

Why waste your time insulting me if I am of no importance to you? Please go rest, or study, instead.

Crickets chirp, the wind whispers softly through the trees... and this is the sound of truth.

Henia, aside from all this rubbish cluttering up your thread, I would like to extend my best wishes to you and your darling. What is between a couple and Allah is their business only. I hope the best for both you.

this is ridiculous that it's still going on.... I give up on you people....seriously, I'm outta here.... I'll speak privately to those I'd like to commune w/ and search (hopefully successfully) for the info I need, but this train wreck is getting OLD!

Now I have to preface the rest of what I'm about to say with the fact that I have read loads of your posts and usually like your no BS style & your wealth of information. Yet, I think in this thread, you've gotten a little impressed with yourself. Whether or not Henia is filing a K1 K3 whatever...it is none of your business really. And you dont have to bash everyone over the head with the 'rules of Islam' and stand up on your pedestal giving your lecture why you know more than everyone else. Whatever Henia has done is her business...and it's between her and her God to deal with...it's not for you to judge. You are free to live your life however you see fit, and while I'm sure it must be annoying to see others 'getting it wrong' where it comes to Islam....this thread was neither the time nor the place to dazzle us all with your brilliance on a topic that has already been beaten to death. I think everyone here (at least I am and I'm rarely in here) is familiar with the 'enforceable' aspect of the contracts and your views on such...and this wasn't the time to start off on it yet again.

Whether or not Henia has done right or wrong...its not your business. Yet if you see her making errors, a quiet private word would have been helpful instead of this 5 grillion page pat-yourself-on-the-back-cos-you-know-more soap box.

If it's none of my business, Lisa, then it's no one's business. so it's best if people keep their business off of a public forum where anyone can make comments and ask questions. I accused Henia of nothing, and stated often that since I had no information about her situtation, I was speaking in general. I did that ONLY after reading the crass feedback and false accusations aimmed at me hours after my last post.

Some of you don't seem to know the difference between public and private, read and ignore, and expect to be able to regulate the reactions of others to what is posted. I can't control your responses to me anymore than you can control my responses to you, so, other than stating how you feel about it, there is really nothing to be done.

The fact is, people see what they want to see, and I gave up long ago trying to explain myself. Why? Because it's so easy to discover the sensitivities of someone who is offended by just about everything. It's not a matter of being impressed by myself; it's about the over reactions of others, imo. Just as someone can agree or disagree with what is said by someone else, they can agree or disagree with what I say.

I guestion, and don't take things at face value. Those who hate that can turn their heads. Truth ain't always pretty, but we can't always deliver roses either.

I think this is dubage you are sputtering SZSZ because, you knew full well this thread

was labled " Elhamdullah) finally married to hbib "

it said NOTHIG about. SZSZ come give me the general speech on how I am doing the wrong.

stop back peddling. you stuck your nose in henias business on her wedding thread!!

and then top it off you wanna keep aruguing and justifying .

give me a BREAK. bow out and leave it alone. she already had to stop what she is doing to come

tell you - your off base. what happend to asking her about her wedding and asking for pics

and rejoycing with her? you wanna talk religous and truth, why come on here to do it?

I supposed my beef is if this was my wedding thread I would be pizzed off and very disappointed.

see henia responded very nicely and very much like the lady she is presenting herself to be.

hats off to her ! for you please BOW OUT NOW...

Still talking about me, eh? I guess I'm more important to some than I give myself credit for, even when I haven't done what I'm accused of doing to garner so much attention.

We don't agree. So what? Life goes on. I did fine before you, I'll do fine after you, insha'allah.
