Don't know about other families, but sandwiches for dinner wouldn't fly around here! Thanks for the great recipes! I'll be trying them ASAP. I'm always looking for some timesavers. Things to Discuss Before the Wedding - Blog Entry25 Jul 2006 10:41 PM Wow! There is certainly a lot of misinformation and bigotry in that comment. So much so, that I don't even know where to begin. First of all, honor killings are a cultural problem, and are no way condoned or ordered by God. They are completely un-Islamic. Secondly, of course women enter Heaven. Third, if you really look at Christianity and Judaism, husbands do have a bit of authority over wives. Just because not all marriages follow that teaching, it doesn't mean the teaching isn't there. And, Muslim men are not ordered, instructed, or allowed to abuse their wives. I will not say that no Muslim men are abusive as I'm sure some probably are. But, the same could be said of any religion. Abuse is not allowed by God, but some people become abusers. It has nothing to do with religion. As for terrorism, again, you can't judge a religion by a few bad seeds. Throughout history, lives have been lost and blood has been shed in the name of God. Does that really reflect on the particular religion, or on the people responsible? I have been married for 10 years, and my husband has never laid a hand on any of our children. He is gentle and loving. His worst sin is sometimes yelling when he's angry. Overall, he is a wonderful husband and a terrific father. He is also a devoted son and a loyal follower of Islam. And I doubt he's an exception. I appreciate you reading my blog, but please do your research before you leave comments. There is really no place for such hatred. Keep reading, though. You might learn something.

Although I did convert prior to our wedding, we've had our share of culture clashes, too. Even if you're Muslim, there is a difference between a born Muslim and a convert. As you know, there are huge cultural differences, sometimes just entirely different ways of seeing the world. Without clear communication, these can become major obstacles. You and your husband clearly have good communication. That'll get you through anything! (En Sha Allah!)
