No problem. I actually prefer when people ask questions and are curious vs just assuming things or believe what they read in the NY Times. ;-) The more we talk about it, explain and have conversation the less mystery and misinformation there is out there. I certainly am still learning myself as are most Muslims. …
according to you.. your opinion is not fact. So we will leave that there. If you want to spend your life judging and shitting on other people's choices and customs then rock on.
ha! this is very true. I did get a few eyeballs when I asked and used the scary W word in the airport. I will make a mental note of that on my next trip ;-)
I don’t mind answering. I’m Muslim. Men cover their heads too. Not just women, a common western misconception. Some men don’t. Some women don’t. I choose to. Hijab is personal and everyone has their own way of expressing it. I wrap my head in a more traditionally west african manner (knotted in the back). Many of my…
If my headwrap was lined in lead the scanner would pick that up and then they would say “Excuse me, your headwrap is lined in something blocking the scanner and we can’t see y our skull. We need to check it.” Otherwise they see my skull which means it’s not. Thanks for playing.

When I said to TSA "Wouldn't a concealed weapon/item appear in the scanner I just walked through?" they refused to answer me and went an got a supervisor whom I…
My daughter has the Mirena and she really likes it. She is in a LTR with her boyfriend of 2 years and she and I have very open conversations about STD's and sexual health. She is 20 now but has had it since she was 17. Her periods are not as bad and she hasn't had any negative effects. I think just like any adult…
Mine does work. Kids are not perfect little behaved robots who do our adult bidding all the time. That is a totally unrealistic expectation. They bicker, they get into shit, they drive us all nuts sometimes but that is TOTALLY NORMAL and you don't shake or hit your kid for being freaking normal. It's actually not…
he's not a baby. he's four.
Anytime! And yes, bras are pure evil. I base all my decisions about how much I want to go somewhere on the simple question of "Is it worth putting my bra on?" My youngest child is 6 years old and I still wear my nursing tanks because the are the closest thing to a "not bra" for anything above a D cup. ;-)
hijab comes in many forms. It's more about intention and one's relationship with Allah and Islam and how that connects with the pillars of Islam. It's actually quite personal and has a lot of variations to it. So hijab is really less about the fabric and how you wrap your head with it and more about the why and how…
I hope that cat shits in his shoes and pisses on his clean laundry.
This is one of the those times when the comments on Jezebel take the article to a whole new level of "What the fucking hell???"""
