dear sister al-ajnabia, in times like these, tis too tempting to stoop to their level, but your Lord (& my Lord) knows best what to do:  8)

023:96. Repel evil with that which is best: We are well acquainted with the things they say.

041:34. Nor can goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: Then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate!

you may wonder what "better' that you could do.   My suggestion: play the recitation of qur'an to the level they can hear (with the english translation after every verse), so that they may understand...  the really evil ones amongst them will probably run, for they would hate to hear Allah's words being mentioned, esp in arabic - but if you play the qur'an with the english translation, inshAllah, maybe 1 or 2 from amongst them, will have their hearts moved, wallahu'a'lam.

peace,
:-)

p.s: on many occassions, i could've had bickering sessions at work, esp. working with men with big egos...alhamdulillah, i was able to keep my cool, continued smiling, and spoke softly whilst never compromising to their demands, nor stoop to their arrogance  8)....all due to rasulallah's sunnah, and conduct which i often remember in times of trouble....and alhamdillah, on occassions, they even agreed to my demads....

p.p.s "kill" them softly with your words....

Are you sure I cant just go over there and make sure they are awake?
I mean real sure? Like maybe I sould be neighborly and see if they could loan me some sugar like right now?
Yeah, the quran thing does work, or any arabic, for that matter.  I was watching saudi tv real loud the last time and they got up and went somewhere.
Well, I have been making real sure my door is good and shut this morning just to make sure that their coversation is shut out as well as possible you know.
Well, thanks for the suggestions, I'll take them under advisement.

I apologise for "demeaning other people's faiths" but I also am at wits end about this.
These people of non mentioned faith were standing outside my door discussing how they were planning to keep me up all night because somone had given them money to do this.  They also mentioned how they were surprised "that a muslim would pay them to do this to another muslim".  they talked about how they planned to let me fall asleep and wake me up as many times as they could and they made it very clear by what they were saying that they knew that this would be disruptive to me but they had no bad feeling about it.  Now I was double angry, once that they had clearly said that it was a muslim who payed them, and also that they accepted the payment and intended to cary out the hired action which they did do.
These are the same people who in the past have wrote hindu racial slurs against muslims on my door because they didnt think I would know what it meant and have erased ayat that I have put on my door for self encouragement.  
There is obviously no love on their part towards me.
I'm sorry but I have never had any positive experinces with hindus,the closest they have ever come to ever being nice to me is when some of the older ladies suggest that I could be a good maid for them.
But this is all in the spirit of diversity and acceptance of different points of view.
That is they can behave as though if they got me on their shoes they would have to throw them away and I have to behave like I am not aware of what they write and do, and like I dont understand what they are saying.
I'm sorry but right now I am sick and tired of being an english speaking american because we are the one group on this planet who is not allowed to return what all other groups say about us.
It is the devils world out there, its just a trial, but I dont think any of them should ever go for a walk in the desert with me, if they know what is good for them.

Well, sis Faith, the Quranic recitation does atleast drown them out, and it discourages loitering by my door but not completley.
But what it does do is give me something positive to listen to while I am inbetween sleep and awake rather than the depraved ramblings of directionless whatevers.  I think actually that I may make a regular thing of this.  Imight as well make use of this time that I must be awake for something good.  Otherwise i find myself thinking of places to ...
But when I think about it especially on friday and saturday nights when it is the custom to get down right depraved I think my contribution to the sound problem will be this, inshaallah.
But the core or the problem remains, when there is sickness like this that is ignoored, how can we wonder that we have not overcome the disbelivers and stopped their behavior?

Ever find yourself wondering why people will move to countries that seem far out of the way to them to face hardship and train in violence and call it a holy jihad,
but when a simple thing could be settled with a little organization nobody is intersted?
Is it because I dont have Osama's "sexy" eyes?
Honestly I am trying to learn taht third century hijra arabic of his, but its like taming greased weasles with a frayed piece of string to try to get that kind of education from any university I can afford.
For a whole lot of people I am only just a few miles down the road.
I used to think it was I good thing that I could honestly say taht nothing I have ever done has ever caused anything to actually blow up, but is that really the only kind of language people respond to?
I could learn to speak in well oiled platiudes but they would sound false in my ears and I would lose sight of what I am here to do.
Setting priorities must be a lost art.
like the understanding of sanskrit and the ability to read the vedas, it is something that hasnt been possble for over twelve hundred years.
