Ramadan Mubarak!




The moonfighting should be wrapping up by now, and most of us are hunkering down for 29-30 days of  trying to fill lunch breaks in the absence of, well, lunch. No progressive mosques in the San Diego area means that iftar for me is a very small affair; but that just leaves more du’a time for those who cannot have iftar at home, as the recent earthquakes in Indonesia destroyed so much of the joy some might have had at this time.
I’m learning to share Iftar and Suhur prep duties, and rather disappointed that even though I live in a date growing state, I still can’t find fresh ones.
My Ramadan recommendations: light midnight snacks, spend some worship time alone and some with loved ones, and at the mosque and everywhere, be beautiful to yourself.

Hey, I have a crazy idea.

Hey, I have a crazy idea. Maybe you could avoid ghettoization and eat with some muslims you may not agree 100% withon every conceivable issue!

I have an even crazier

I have an even crazier idea: instead of assuming that I only eat with those whose views are identical to mine (an impossible feat, by the way) how about you assume that I’m not terribly interested in bland food and boring conversation? I’d love to find an iftar held at an area mosque with well-prepared food and pleasant company, and I’d be willing to get into a slight disagreement to do it. I’d disagree with Mohja Kahf on the "conservatives have better food"  point- even with debates spicing the iftar, the best food and conversation is with progressives- unless you are inordinately fond of shopping and overboiled rice.

Yeah, whatever. You’re

Yeah, whatever. You’re totally different from a closed-minded Salafi who won’t eat with non-Salafis, because you’re just so much smarter and more interesting than the average Muzzie. Keep telling yourself that. You need PROGRESSIVE Muslims.


Reason why the progressive movement is and will always be a ghetto, exhibit a, your honor.

DA, as your bestest friend

DA, as your bestest friend in the whole world and soon-to-be marriage councelor, WTF?!

DA, get over yourself.
