Re: A question for Muslims who feel they need to conform to perceived expectations
Of course RG, I read it thoroughly and I am sure I haven’t offended you. My comments here are not to corner anyone here, these are just based on my personal observations. I agree to your last line but this doesn’t happen every time.
That’t the point deeba. Why don’t they think they can enjoy our festive and what makes us think we enjoy their festive?? And ok, if we think, it’s because they don’t find interest in it, what do we do to make them feel interested in our religion?? Our festive? We might take part in their festive taking this as a custom thing, or proving ourselves as open-minded towards them as RG mentioned but sometimes it can turn the table… they can treat it as our Kamzor Iman, (while it isn’t), they might think, oh these Muslims, they can celebrate anything. When a large Non-Muslim community can be stiff about NOT celebrating our occasions, why shall We?? Why don’t they worry about proving themselves as very welcoming and open-minded community?? Why don’t they care? Why don’t they even enjoy?
