I'd ask but I'm muslim too so I can't think of anything to ask

This is so cool idea - when some question will pop up I'll let you know

xoxo!

Urm, everything?
I didnt listen in RE at all.
I would like to know about the terrorism thing because you are a peaceful religious group (from what i remember in RE)

as-salamu alaikum habibti how are you?
I just re-read your post.
Gah! long day

oh, no I'm not offended honest.
sorry if I came off that way.
You know its the typing, sometimes it seems worse than its meant too.
It's not common with anyone I know.
I know no one who even thinks like that.
Majority of my friends love this country ( usa).
I doubt I could live anywhere else in the world and run my mouth the way I do

Well I have a pretty basic question... what is Eid?

I just wanted to say I am married, my husband doesnt force me to wear the veil, it is by choice that I cover myself while in public .

I'l ask about that too.
The veil that covers you all over apart from your eyes, is that a religious law or is it a taliban law (sorry again if that offends, i seem to remember that from somewhere too)
and sorry again about that offendedness thing, i know some people can take things to heart, especially about religion. I should think before i type. lol

Dont worry . It's obvious your question is serious, and is not meant in a mocking or rude way,so as long as its respectful I'm fine . I wear the veil that covers everything but my eyes, most of the time. I take it off at work. I will go back to wearing it full time soon. The taliban was very oppressive and did force women to cover.
Forcing someone to cover is NOT Islamic. It's about choice. Just like you cant force someone into marriage.
The Quran and Hadith(our two main sources of knowledge) tells us to cover. The Hadith is basically traditions and sayings of the prophet Muhammad. It goes into much further detail of what you should be doing. Muslim women should cover everything but their hands and face, after they reach puberty.
Its a spiritual thing. It doesnt come natural or easy for everyone. Some women wear it much later than others.

what did your wedding dress look like, and also what was your wedding celebration like?

salaam, msprettypanties im also a muslim and so is my whole family...lol
it was my sister who posted that Eid thread..hahahaha

how do you wrap a sari and how long does it take and is it hard to go to the bathroom with it on?  or is it a burka that you wear?  in any event the same questions apply, i guess.

I think you can google how to wrap a sari( i'm not being rude or sarcastic), I dont know how to explain it. I'm not from there.
I wear a niqab which is similar to the burkah. I can go to the bathroom with it on, its not necessary. I dont wear a Sari. I wear an Abaya, which is pretty much a dress. It's an overgarment worn over clothes.So under my abaya I wear stuff like jeans and a tshirt.

I wore a saree once. If you tuck it in properly and tightly then it shouldn't fall off - ever- but for the first few times it feels like it might at the teensiest tug! It won't though...that's just because you're not used to wearing it the first few times...for like everyone. And yes you can go to the toilet wearing it, just lift it lol. There's not really much chance of it er getting dirty.
