Re: Follow the Idol Breaker

Thanks but no thanks Madhanee. I dont trust you with my address. If I ever feel the need to bash you with a weapon of some sort, I will come to NY. Since you've already said it is ok, I wont ask whether you will tolerate it or not.

Now back to the topic. And I dont want Irshad Manji to be brought forth yet again.

Do you know any converts?

Pindi, next time I see you I am going to smash a statue of Ganesh on your head. It is pure brass. I will see how tolerant you are. I will do it after downing a few.

it’ll be a true match to watch if pinstripe uses a heavy leatherbound Koran from gitmo to fight the guy with the brass idol…

Anyway the point of this thread was not to discuss the Taliban. It was that many people have to go against their own families sometimes, and the social norms. And in this day and age, a lot of people live to follow social norms - and I was stating that in order to follow the truth people have to discard these things that at one point they might have held dear.
I mean people rarely take actions that differ from the rest, for fear of being outcasts etc.

I know exactly what you mean Muslim_Queen, when I convert to Islam some 14 years ago I told my mum, and she slapped my face… saying I shouldn’t even think of telling my father, so I kept it secret…till I grew up a little bit more just to see if my faith would be fading or not…then I told my father, and I saw him sad…he’s been living in muslim african countries during his youth and has a quite negative opinion about muslim societies…So I made him forget about it. I never speak “as a muslim” in front of my family, I don’t either do anything that could lead others to know I’m muslim, because of the “social norm” you were pointing at…it’s like I have a double life: inner I have faith, outside I don’t show it, only to some very good old friends…

parissenoor – Aww Im sorry to hear that. I’m sure it must be tough !! I dont really know how old you are or your situation…so the only advice I can give is that you think things through , and wait until you are of legal age - before you take any steps to contradict your parents or move out etc. I wish you the best, and I am sure things will turn out for you. Have some faith - and patience.
