Love without Sex, is that a muslim marriage?

I have been hit with a question I have no answer for. And, strangely enough I’ve been asked by more than one woman in the same situation, what to do. I am religious, not overly or ackwardly so, but religious enough. So therefore the question of having affairs is well out of the question. But when you have a mix match of desire does running to the divorce court really settle anything? If the person you married is your heart mate, and soul mate, but not your pleasure mate, should you throw the baby out with the bath water and book?

Why is the cult raid in Texas news? Sex in the temple to what God?

I sit in front of my television amazed at the media frenzy over the cult in Texas. The cult was part of the same group run by Jeffries the guy recently sentenced to prison for rape of a minor. Now tell me if I am wrong but this place is not under ground, hidden under a barrel or anything like that, and usually when something like this has gone on for fifty years if not longer in the same spot, why are they just now going in to rescue all those poor little girls? Did something happen?

Why can't we figure it out, its so simple

Maybe we aren’t so smart after all. Maybe its time we all stopped and got a refresher course on Earth existence 101 or something. I guess for something like this to be effective, our ancestors, whomever they were, would have had to attend the same class. Maybe that’s the problem, none of us are getting the same message. My teacher used to tell one boy, “what planet are you on?” Indeed, what planet are any of us on?

Dear Media Give Us better images of Muslim women please!

Well as ususal when I  had a free moment I went looking for something nice to look at and found this.  Now at first glance it really does look like something from Iran, a woman buried alive in a pre-stoning preparation.  However, that’s not what it is at all.  They are trying to free her from dirt that is holding her fast….

Reversion/Not conversion

: to come or go back (as to a former condition, period, or subject


2 : to return to the proprietor or his or her heirs at the end of a reversion

Veiled and Obvious

See me…..I am covered because of the beauty of it like a river of color I adorn, with rainbows and silk, and metal and stones.  See me, I am successful, independent and free, the veil does not define me, it gives me respite, it gives me shelter and it

The Color of Cover; Hijab aint drab...................................

There are many ways to wear cover, and I think African women, above all, have the most colorful, and joyful fabrics.  The styles are fantastic, old and new are melded together to enhance femininty and modesty.  There is freedom of movement and celebration of culture, and religion in every step.  Yeah.  I think compared to African, and African American cover, everything else looks drab and uh sorta European…..........Allah Hu Akbar to all the sisters who cover


 


 

Inshallah; I finally found out it really means, NO!

Funny thing, I was talking to my husband and we were joking around, so I asked him to do something, something I knew he didn’t want to do, but I asked just to be a pain and his response was, "Inshallah."  I laughed, he laughed, we acknowledged what most Muslims already know, that if you ask a muslim for something directly instead of saying, No, can’t do it and here’s why.  They say, "Inshallah"  For instance there was this Moroccan sister who I admired, she really knew her Quran and could recite.  I wanted to learn from her, so I invited her to my hou
