Arabification of Pakistan and Pakistani culture:

Even if it is a new “trend” born from America, why is that seen as a negative? I don’t consider Pakistani culture 100% my own because I’m not Pakistani. I’m American Muslim. If I’ve adopted ONE aspect of Arab culture who cares? It is about comfort, pure and simple. Just like I hang “Ramadan Stockings” on my fireplace for my kids and decorate my staircase bannister..that also is an adopted practice. Tomorrow if I learn something about Indonesian culture that resonates with me I’ll start doing that too. We’re all here to learn from eachother and assimilate…like the melting pot analogy. When it makes sense I wear shalwar kameez, when it doesn’t I don’t…and if an abaya is more practical then so be it. It has nothing to do with wanting to be an Arab Sheeple.

Well said, but that’s you Ms. Khatti.

I think I know where LondonsFinest is coming from…
