Allah loves you
Becomming involved in an emailing list for the sake of a little research has more of an emotional affect on me than expected. My main objective was to get my voice heard, and have prople respond to that voice. I tend to have an oppositional opinion on mainstream thinking and feel like I have to be weird in order to stir the pot.
The dude who I condemed for telling me to "behave like a proper woman by not wearing make-up and mixing with men whom you am not permitted" has responded to me personally. He is trying to show me the true way of Allah and the Muslim way of the Koran. He is so sweet and thinks he has all the answers as to why women need to be "like a garment" to their men, that I can fight with him no longer.
The site I invaded for research purposes is based on love and friendship. I feel like I was the Western scientist sticking my cold hard probe into their cosy environment. All I wanted to do was show them that women are free to do what they like in the Western world. All they wanted to show me that there is much love and respect for women in the Muslim world, as long as you follow the rules. Who is to say what is right? For me though this exercise has shown me that I do not have all the answers, and that tollerance for difference is quite liberating.
