About that video...I must go and seek it out, because I can't recall it :( *early sign of aging* Ajla, I had a feeling it was something Balkan ;) I’m glad I didn’t sprain my brain trying to guess what it was! :D

As if that one Ph.D makes them all-knowing in every other subject on the planet. Grrr... That being said, this post reminds me of the Baba Ali video on YouTube about arrogant people. Now *that's* funny. :D I really dislike it when people flash their degrees in the middle of rambling on a subject that has nothing to do with said degree.

I thought of it too, that she might be a sufferer, but who knows. Her lines seemed very well rehearsed, and there was something extremely offensive rather than sympathetic about her. Allah knows best! <strong>Ajla</strong>, Wa Aleykum selam! :) I know, it's been awhile...must fix that soon, inshaAllah! :) I think she did not mention Balkan people because there weren't any in the masjid at that moment. As soon as she found out our ethnicities, she'd pile it into the mix. Bizarre, indeed. What's ncnc, sweetness? :? <strong>realistic bird</strong>, Wassalam :) I thought it was really odd the way she was going on...and she kept bringing up "Arab men" repeatedly, and telling the girl, "When you marry an Arab man, be careful for xyz" as if it's a foregone conclusion that this girl became a Muslim to marry an Arab man (she did not). And, ameen! <strong>Lisa</strong>, Sorry about my sporadic postings! Thank you, hon :) Atually her focus was on Arab men, and she threw in everyone else for laughs and giggles...it was amusingly offensive in the beginning, and then became tiresomely so when she decided to attack the men of this new Muslim's ethnicity. And I wanted to see her diploma by the fifth mention of her Ph.D! Maybe next time :razz: Oh and the solution is to run people like her out of the masjid, not for the normal ones to run away...she needs to find a new place to pray! Which is ironic, because she walked in, made wudhu, launched into this tirade...and didn't even pray :? <strong>zahra</strong>, can you believe that man actually passed what was basically a job interview?! Talk about missing the plot...I wonder if it will ever occur to him (or the masjid officials) that he should have focused on the fact that it's wrong for a Muslim man, nay, any man!, to <i>beat</i> his wife?! SubhanAllah... Cookie Monster, wassalaam :) If ignorance is bliss, then this woman was very far from blissful serenity, unfortunately.

The kicker - they offered this guy the job!

Missed you lots missy. I notice that they like to resort to their credentials quite a lot, maybe to deflect from herself a little. She makes it sound like revert men do it the most, almost like she had to throw Arab men in just for grins. So sorry sweetie, is there another masjid in town? Oh I love this post!

Why, did she not mention the Balkan people?! How insulting. Seriously, such people are like incredible. Stupidity and ignorance amaze me and I can't help but believe if I'd be surrounded by such people, I'd go for advice and socialisation to the snail next door. Ncnc. *imagines the Southern accent* Lovin’ it. :D

I want to say ignorance is bliss, but that would be insulting the ignorant people! One thing which makes me appreciate Islam more than anything is the fact that one should appreciate someone elses opinion, for you may not know when you are right or wrong. However, this woman reminds me of my colleague, who uses the word "ALL" so liberally, it is unbelievable. ALL means explicitly EVERYONE, and it is very shortsighted to take that opinion. Saying that, she may be a sufferer looking for support - who knows! Hey salaams!
