@queer

chee,

nothing wrong with your idea of integration. its the confuzzled's and umezafeerah versions which really stink. assuming that muslims are the only ones with morals and values, judging others with their ideas of morality, zero respect for other peoples customs, but demanding respect for their own customs with great militancy. i hate to say this, but i wouldnt want confuzzled as my neighbour or colleague, and neither would most non muslims.

Feelings are mutual matey, I don't like the idea of my neighbours smelling of masaladosa/amla/heeng..

I think I understand a bit more now about your dilemmas with "integration", confuzz....college is tough when you're Muslim and the majority of others are not. Still, there ARE nice people, nice clubs to join etc where pubs arent involved. When you get a bit older and are out in the white-collar world, it is QUITE acceptable to go out after work and have pepsi, no one minds because its more about "hanging out" than it is about "lets all get blasted" yeah? Most times when I've gone out with colleagues it wasnt even a "pub", it was restaurant. Also with maturity comes more respect of opposite sex...you will no longer see the back seat slobbery that goes on in college years. Also, you might be surprised at how many people would really like to know you, your culture and customs and your food....invite a nice western classmate out sometime and I think you'd be pleasantly surprised and you'd be enriching the life of a westerner - when I experienced Pakistani food, I was just transported it was so delicious.

Last, just wanted to tell you....if you find bacon to smell a bit tempting...most grocery stores carry kosher turkey bacon. Its really delicious! And its ok for Muslims to eat kosher foods.

PS the arses who made you eat ham should be horsewhipped. You could go to your college administrators and lodge a complaint (which I doubt you'd do) but that was just really and truly an awful thing to do. You have my sincerest apologies on their behalf for their ignorant nastiness.

aww man ur such a sweet heart.. don't apologise, their actions are not your fault.. it's me who should be apologising for judging people as a group rather than as individuals.. and i'm sorry about the badtameezi (bad manners) yesterday, your ciriticisms were quite legit, i feel like poop now..

thanks for the turkey bacon suggestion, sounds nice, i've had soya bacon bits but not turkey, there's a kosher butchers on my way into town, i might drop in when i go for clothes shopping tomorrow (seen some cool linen pants in River Island, will come in handy in Pak, I can't stand shalwar kameez).

So then wat do all of you think of this:D

Living in a non-Muslim Country can be seen as a test of faith

Living in a non-Muslim Country can be seen as a test of faith because...

The country that we are living in is full of Christians and half of the time it is hard for some Muslims to stick to there religion for example…

This can be a test of faith that when we are doing what everyone else is doing, if they are taking drugs and we follow them cause we are friends and us Muslims are feeling Weird that everyone is taking Drugs and we are not then that goes against the teachings of Islam.

Some women’s in Britain don’t cover themselves nearly like they would in an Islamic country – it is unusual to see a woman all covered up here in Britain.

When Christmas comes, the very vast majority of children have Christmas trees and a visit from Santa Claus and all come back from vacation talking about the toys that Santa brought them. Christmas is very popular in Britain as they are many Christians living in Britain. Many Muslim children come to find out about Christmas. Muslim children get confused that as what they celebrate is it Eid or Christmas. This can also be seen as a test of faith in which does the mother make the child understand that us Muslims don’t Celebrate Christmas, they celebrate Eid.

This is a test of faith to see how far you go and what you do within the limits of the religion.

Some Muslims can’t read English and for them it is hard to know what is added in what

And what type of food is suitable for them, like food which haves Gelatin is not allowed for Muslims.

In Islam things such as mixing of genders, dating is not allowed, but in Britain Many people be Dating each other and in many places such as school and work there is always a mix of Genders that Muslims have to work with.

Some Muslims may feel irritated that other people can date each other but they can’t, this is also shown as a test of faith in a non-Muslim country.

The main reason why it is hard for Muslims to live in a non-Muslin country is because of these things above and some times Muslims do, do the things list above and therefore its going against the religion.

This test of faith is to see whether Muslims obey Allah’s rules or not and weather Muslims Fail this test or not.

If any1 thinks i need to make some changes then plz let me kno :)

Paki Pride... if I had to grade this essay, I would give you a big, fat F!

The grammer, the obvious cut and paste job, the pacing, conclusion .. pretty much everything is awful.

Folks gave you good points and you have made an unappetising kichdi out of it all.

Besides which are you not supposed to do the work yourself.. for that alone I would give you an F.

Are you sure you are in the 10th grade in the UK? Or year 10 whatever that is! Dude, you have some serious catching up to do!
