    @BrotherInIslam, Salaam I read the links you provided, and I have to tell you, I felt really uncomfortable with them. I have never celebrated Christmas, or Easter, or Halloween, or Valentine's Day, or anything else - because I'm a Muslim. But I cannot imagine one of my Christian friends...

    What do Muslims do on Halloween?

    "It is good Alhamdulillah that you are aware that it is prohibited for us to celebrate or greet others on non muslim celebrations. As the Prophet SallAllahu Alleihi Wa Sallama said “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood). Also ‘Abd-Allaah ibn al-‘Aas said: Whoever...

    LIFE AS A WHITE MUSLIM-

    I agree fully - this is not a competition to see which hijab-wearing race gets discriminated against more. Personal articles relate a personal experience, and that's it.

    LIFE AS A WHITE MUSLIM-

    Salaam Do I feel a bit of deja vu coming on? This sister posted the article and she relates to it because she's had the same experience. Nothing was said about this being the standard prescribed general experience of *white* Muslims in the US. Let's be easier on each other - this forum is a...

    LIFE AS A WHITE MUSLIM-

    Salaam, saralou I liked the article a lot - thanks for sharing it. The funny thing is, though, a lot of my Syrian Muslim friends are really "white", too. I guess maybe "foreign" is what these people are hinting at. Masha'Allah that you're a flag bearer for Islam in the US - may Allah protect...
