Of course, it works to the opposite-- growing up in the West can make it easier to turn away from even the smallest forms of practice, because it isn't a social norm... but for those who hold onto it, it's stronger because of the effort it takes to find it in the West.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181814921478992436.post-65504151154911481462010-10-01T19:50:02.818+04:002010-10-01T19:50:02.818+04:00This was a great post Assia!!This was a great post Assia!!Samyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04947486913706978185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181814921478992436.post-10643609199724251492010-09-08T08:46:15.477+04:002010-09-08T08:46:15.477+04:00Subhanallah the point about being more worried wit...Subhanallah the point about being more worried with practicing your faith as opposed to people's vision of Islam is exactly what we were talkin about that night in Dearborn, remember?

LOVED this post. I really loved tha...Salaam missy!<br /><br />LOVED this post. I really loved that quote about choice too.. it's so true<br /><br />He gave some good points to think about for sure... it is more important to think about what we are required to do as Muslims rather than worry about the image as much. And that brings the last point home, because if we do worry more about ourselves, that will inevitably allow us to lead by example.<br /><br />thanks assia!Fatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388435074033840210noreply@blogger.com
