Re. the hijab, <a href="https://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2009/09/muslim-wolf-at-feminisms-door.html" rel="nofollow">Sultan Knish</a> stated my concerns exactly. <br /><br />In the years after 9-11, I always thought it weird and disturbing that most of the janitorial staff at Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix seemed to be Somali immigrants, and they <i>always</i> wore the blue sack garment that covers everything but the face and hands. God forbid anyone should express concern, though. That would be insensitive.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-47197225508959213382016-10-06T06:06:35.128-07:002016-10-06T06:06:35.128-07:00Julie said "Have to say, there are a lot of w...Julie said "Have to say, there are a lot of women in hijab around where I live..."<br /><br />I haven't really flown in years, going from airport to airport, but we went with my wife on one of her flights for an extended layover in San Diego over Labor Day... went St. Louis-> Chicago-> San Diego, and the number of hijabs, and full body-bagging was... alarming. <br /><br />I also couldn't help noticing that the shops in the harbor touristy place, which we'd last visited with the kids when they were all pre-teens, had drastically changed. Still the same sort of shops, but it was apparent that blocks of them had the same middle eastern owners, gaudy flash and smarmy attitude to employees and customers ... a very different, and unwelcome, vibe all around.Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-85361624257232443972016-10-06T05:57:26.978-07:002016-10-06T05:57:26.978-07:00Prayers Julie.Prayers Julie.Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-6423682761251980332016-10-06T04:54:48.993-07:002016-10-06T04:54:48.993-07:00"Eh, I don't buy it."

In a world whose trade mark is lie, let us leave it to the divine you talked about and you are seeking his knowledge, to settle this difficult issue. I do believe we are moving toward a time where every thing will be exposed in fair or in foul. Thank you again , for me I like to seek points of convergence because the world has for a long time been living in the swamps of divergence picking on each other,pursuing the destructive road that we see its signs every where. Of course it is easy to accuse but it is very difficult to find good evidences for the accusation.

Every thing in life is subject to polarity, do and do not,buy and not buy ,obey or disobey, be adulterous or straight. God himself is wrathful and merciful,harsh and gentle, has friends and has foes after all where from have we learned our attributes but from his attributes. The story of the image.The verse you quoted from the koran is addressed to the angels to tell the humans that there are unseen forces that can be mobilized to support the humans in their fight for truth and justice, after all prophets are sent to correct the perversions committed by the humans including the impostor mohammad. Trinity is the basic principle of activation and procreation in both the physical and non-physical world, father ,mother and son,lover beloved and love etc but even this basic principle can falter some time where no intercourse of male and female give a son. God is not a human and we can not apply the human attributes on him,after all we do not know his essence to tailor it according to our human limited knowledge. The story of the human representation of god in earth is a recurrent story and thus he was endowed with divine consciousness to be able to exercise that representation and that is also what is behind the story of the treasure which you do not buy another situation of buy and buy not. This is basically the purpose of the freedom given to the humans so he can not blame any one for his choice as they say everyone is the slave of his action. The perverted pictures of any religion can not be cited as representative of that religion, there are killers everywhere. Generalization without qualification is a dangerous road. Sometime I ask myself after this more than eighty years on this divided earth about the use of knowledge if not to know the where about of god and be a more honest person and more truthful in expressing myself and dealing with others.
