| [slm] when I was around 9th grade age, i realized islam was the religion that was right and I came to realize that I needed to do the things that it said I should do like cover myself. So I told mom I wanted to cover, and she said I would geet real hot and that covering clothing was too expensive, but I was taking home ec. so I thought I could sew some stuff, I tried a pair of shorts cause I had a pattern and a small amount of cloth on hand and they came out real good so I wanted to buy cloth and try to design something, but mom had someone mess up the sewing machine. Then they had me deprogrammed, and I not only forgot the name of my religion but I also forgot most of the german I had learned. They are crafty buggers, those deprogammers, and it was worse on me, because they needed a real history of my life to remove the unwanted undrestanding with minimal aparent effects, but they got a lied about story, and it was very obvious that something had happened to me, but it happened to a lot of kids around me too, I think it was kind of a fad to have ones kids deprogrammed. but through the years I did things I dont agree with and most of them seem to have their roots in this process, and I was wondering if people take up the name islam but refuse to stop gossiping or to respect their husbands, or many other things because of the deprogramming fad and if so how can we turn such people into real observant muslims? I mean I think that would show the devil something wouldnt it? He sends people to disrupt and we turn them into muslims, or is that not right, maybe the real will to be muslim isnt actually in them. I dont know, gossip sucks, just looking for an angle so I can get a handle on it. |

| [slm] In the dream I had men and women in the same room in the masjid, it was a halaqa and it was no one I knew all around, but I seemed to know them, amalgums of people and character types. The man who led the halaqa was the very shy type remanicant of somone who used to be in one of my classes. The women were many of them, well it was all women, and a man leading, the women wanted to fidget, we all had books in our laps, qurans, but I was showing tha man about bible study set ups, so the books would flicker sometimes, but the thing I wanted to show was this format, like bible study, but the quran as the text. And sort of hypnoticly, we just kept reminding the women to return to the text and when the man would get upset, I would remind him the same, and I reminded him to remind the women. There were also observing people, men I know, not fully material, getting the idea. I think its this or a catapult, maybe some may just climb into the catapult unbound, who knows. liberty is out ther for those who prefer it, or anyway, it seems to be. If the women arent being muslims, what is a poor girl to do? |
