First of all, there is no proof you are indeed a Muslim. Where were you before when the islamophobes were attacking Islam and we could have used another knowledgeable person to help explain things to them? Instead, you sat like a potted plant and watched this drama like you were watching a soap opera. Now suddenly, you find it necessary to speak up, not to criticize those who trashed your faith, but to criticize the fellow Muslim defending it? Sorry, but you are very likely not a Muslim. Second, I do have islamic adab. But Muslims are not required to remain silent in the face of mockery and insults. I said I would stop the insults and mockery if they would agree to do the same. Immediately thereafter, they slew more insults, then asking Muslima to post a pic of herself in veil to garner public sympathy. Sorry, if you were a Muslim with strong feelings for your faith, you would have protested then.[/quote]

There is no proof YOU are a Muslim, either.

I don't think there is any point in arguing the superiority of our way of life to non-Muslims.  Islam IS different from the West, we live our lives by different rules, values and philosophy.  We are not required to be the same as the West, understood by the West, or approved by the West. I am secure in this knowledge and conduct the affairs of my family in that way.  I am comfortable in accepting that Islam sees women and men differently from the West, that we raise our children differently, that we see the world differently.  I am comfortable explaining it, but if someone disagrees or doesn't like it, that's their prerogative. To me, my religion, and to them, theirs. This is how we do things. There is no need for anyone to agree with our ways. I am not dependent on approval or understanding of Westerners. You think you defend Islam by your behavior here but all you do is make it look bad by slinging personal insults. This is not how Muslims are supposed to behave.  If you were my daughter, I'd be embarrassed.[/quote]

Salam,

I think she knows that Islam is different from the West.  I think both the PP and I are comfortable in the fact that we do not need approval from the West, that's why we choose to  be and stay Muslims and live this life, after all Islam is a life choice and only those who choose it adhere to its teachings.  Yes to us our religion and to them theirs but fallacies were being said about Islam. The issue at stake was the misrepresentation of Islam and Muslim Women. I agree that the discussion could have been more mature and our adab was less than islamic at times but PP did apologize for her behavior., so now it rests between her and her lord. When we have differences, we must not forget that it does not take away from our primary bonds of Iman, so let's all close this chapter and move on, wa salaam.[/quote]
