Yeah I liked that video! It’s so true we complain about everything if it takes more than two seconds now, remember the old dial-up internet that took like five minutes just to connect and then you had to wait like ten minutes for a page to load. Now everything is so fast. Great video!

Comment on A Response to: “Married Men, The Untouchable Species” by Umm Salma

A very well-written response to the story. I completely agree as well, although from a married woman’s point of view. But although it’s been said from both you and her, that these men are “untouchable,” we forget to realize that actually, in Islam, they aren’t really untouchable… they’re just slightly out of reach.

its really nice to come home to people who ask you how was your day instead of what’s going on nowadays with everyone being on TV or the internet and not caring who goes in and out….

Comment on Islamic School thrives in the Capitol of California! by History of Al Andalus

As salaamu ‘aleykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu

Forgive me for a comment not related to the post. There is an excellent new blog dedicated to a book called: *An Incomplete History: The Muslims of Spain Post 1492 in a Global Context and its Relevance to Muslims Today*

http://historyofandalus.wordpress.com/

The situation of the Muslims living in the West today poses a striking similarity to the situation of the Muslims in Al- Andalus post 1492 (when the last Muslim ruler surrendered the last Muslim stronghold of Granada to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella). This marked the official end to Islamic rule in Al- Andalus. However, this did not mean all the Muslims left Al Andalus in one go.

Muslims lived in Andalus for at least two hundred years after the fall (1492). Their lives were not easy. In many cases they were forced to give up their identities, could not practice Islam in public, they were not allowed to speak Arabic (and therefore could not pray in congregation) or even give their children Muslim names! So what began as tolerance for the practice of Islam in Al- Andalus and allowing for their affairs to be judged under Shari’ah courts (Capitulations of Granada) slowly but surely led to the persecution of the Muslims of Al-Andalus until no trace of Muslims in Andalus were to be found.
