One is Too Many

Why is it ok to kill people as a country when it is not ok to kill people within our country? Police officers have to file a report and explain every time that they discharge thier guns. Why don't out soilders have to do that? If they are always doing the right thing as the media would have us believe why would it be wrong to have them explain. The world has become this crazy place of us and them. As people meet more people they just find new people to hate. But most people love those around them. That means that most people are lovable. When will we learn to look to love new people. I feel like I spend all my time trying to unteach people, to help them see that muslims are real people. It is very strange to find so many people that want to dislike me, or if not me they want to dislike people I love, as if me being an ok person is a fluke and they would have to meet every muslim in the world before they would admit that most of them are good. And this is the part that gets to me, if you are a happy women with a loving husband, he must be a moderate muslim. NO The stronger my husbands faith is at any point in time, the better he treats me, the more loving he is to me, and because my husband has faith I never fear that he will leave me, I never fear that he will cheat on me. I am at complete peace in my marriage because of my husbands faith, and if he were to become too "moderate" then I would start to fear.
I'm so tired of hate and misunderstanding, I just want to fill the world with love. I just want to make a place that is so full of love and friends that even if times get hard the love will make those times great.

Ode to spoiling milk and Z

Z, I always doubted that oatmeal would taste good when made with milk despite your boyscout stories. But as my milk is set to spoil at anytime and I am out of bread, which prevents me from my standard breakfast of toast, I decided to give it a try today. It is good, I shall never doubt your boyscout skills again.

Hijab trials

So of late I have been feeling a little bit restricted by my hijab. I don't think it is really a reflection on my hijab but more of a general reflection of my frustration with Columbus life. Anyway I decided that I would try to combat my feelings by enjoying my scarfs and trying out some new things. I'm not sure that this was entirely a success, either in style of feeling but I thought I would share my meager efforts via blog.
I think that this could work but I think the top scarf would have to be lighter weight so that the braid was not so big.
I like this but I need a white under scarf I think.
Simple, girly.

I'm not sure what to say about these. Feel free to comment or send me new scarfs with which to play. :)
