An invitation I don't quite know if I should turn down...

I never said I was there to represent Islam/Muslims Hareem nor did he invite me to make some sort of a statement. It’s just a friend inviting another for a wedding, despite a controversial one he knows I don’t carry any kind of resentment towards what his choices are.
Having said that though, I think all Muslims represent Islam in some shape or form. It’s sometimes obvious in the way we carry ourselves, our clothing, daily activities etc., so whether we like it or not, it becomes incumbent upon us to act in a way which doesn’t go against the ways of our deen.

I didn’t say you did…(but you’ve been giving likes to those posts…lol)

I don’t think we do EVERYTHING to represent Islam, at least I don’t and I’d be honest about it. I just don’t agree with a comment that said “go to the wedding to portray muslims’ image in good light”. For some you’d be representing Islam in a good way, for some you won’t be.

Some scenes just aren’t suitable for hijabis like exotic beaches and bars.

And this whole idea of “oh we can wear hijab and dance at the same time” is so screwed up.

errrr…yeah okay. So you think attending a gay wedding is not going against the ways of our deen?
