This is still the case in some Muslim cultures, is it not? The male is still the Premo in the family. On what basis have you made such assumptions!! Hollywood movies?! You will be more than surprised if you would come to know how women are being treated in our cultures... many westreners were stunn...

Even if Islam claims to treat women very well, the fact remains that the Quran says that women must cover themselves to hide their attributes from men who might take advantage. On the one hand there are good intentions behind that, but on the other hand it makes it acceptable for men to disrespect ...

its strange who things came back to this topic..

We were some where else!

I already knew about female circumcision (better called female genital mutilation) but this was definitely news for me... omg !! damn female circumsicion, is that even physically possible !! what the hell do they circumsize ?? i really wanna know. where and why do they do it http://en.wikipedia.org...

While I do agree a woman is precious she's not made of porcelain. This is exactly the mentality that lead to women being considered inferior to men. They can protect themselves and do NOT need men to live well in any society. I think you missed the point - crystals normally are used to resemble: pu...

Shrouding myself from head to toe in black cloth would feel to me like people were trying to cover me up like I don't exist. It would feel odd to talk with people who can't even see my facial expressions. I enjoy the fact that I have studied, worked and lived in mixed gender groups and I don't ever...

So men can be impure and cracked, but their women have to be perfect? Did i say that?!! :shock: What i have said is just the opposite!! i dont know how i was interpreted like that!! Both men and women are capable of mentally, physically and s.e.xually abusing each other. The stereotype is that wome...

Intimacy, I interpreted your posts as justifications for why women are supposed to be covered and kept away from men outside their families until they are married. Your original posts focus on the fragility of women and their need for protection - you talked about women being like crystals, not men...

Oh come on Kan ...

I told you a thousand times.... never change my diaper infront of girls.

I am wondering why we dont see this on CNN, ABC, Fox news... etc!!!!

Valkyrie, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufism If you have any more specific questions after reading this, then please let me know and I'll do my best to answer. In short though: Sufism is a mystical offshoot of mainstream Islam (think Karbala vs Judaism which emphasises the spiritual over the physi...

Shaf, what you have mentioned actually represent a sect which has nothing to do with Sufis. They are tens of sects who are claming that they are sufis but they are nothing but a shame. i believe that real suffies are very well known in the islamic world like: Abdul Qader aljelani (ALkilani), Ahmad A...

thank you shafique and intimacy, it took me awhile to read that but it was worth it. about sufis, i have always found sufiism interesting and was curious if there is a lot of sufi music? Hmmm, well that depends.. most of the sufis would use there vocies only which is quit pretty and interesting.. a...

Well thats right.. thats his name. But Nusrat started as a sufi and he got drifted away a little.

Music wise.. he is music is so cool

Its actually not sad .. maybe the rhythm and the voice tone are..


although i dont understand urdu but the lyrics are so amazing

This is in Iraq...

With Such responses.... i am speachless

Intimacy, you are a sweet and smart guy, but people can see through these shameless attempts to continue to stir up anti-US sentiment. There are children all over the world suffering in war torn areas and you only seem to care about the Iraqi ones and most likely because Kanelli.... (1) Well i dont...

Intimacy, I get upset because you only post pictures in the forum about Iraq. Maybe if you posted on other subjects and showed the same kind of caring and compassion for children in the same circumstances in other parts of the world I might not criticise. I get fed up of all the hate mongering on h...

Intimacy, your intention was to stir up anti-US in Iraq sentiment on the back of the current US supporting Israel in Lebanon threads. Kan, This is ridiculously funny... Stir it up!!!!!!! i dont have to stir up anything Kan.. your Gov. has already and still stir it up by their brutal deeds every whe...

I see you playing in the green meadow… Changing the architecture of my life with your dance… Your little smile makes water drops feel shy… It evaporates to be an orah around my full moon.

I was trying to look around online for some definitions for Fasting in Islam, but i was surised that its not as easy as i thought. For many people - including many muslims - they dont have the proper understanding for Fasting or for Ramadan... they start becoming so religous and once Ramadan is over...
