I was watching the local channel for my city, and they have shows about multiculturalism. So I was watching the Arabic/Islamic local show. It was a 30 minute show about various Arabic/Islamic events in the city. I was like cool, me like watching.
Then it got to the part about some event that happened in the Mosque, and they showed the Imam of the Mosque speaking. Obviously it was all in English, and then he said this:
It’s good we had some turnout of our young minds from this city unlike the rest who are out dancing and partying all night and doing God knows what.
I heard that and my jaw dropped.
My mom said, “did he actually say that?”
I said, “hell ya! I would have SAID IT with more anger than that!”
I love it how people speak out their minds! EVEN those who speak out about their own people! :whee: (hint.. hint..)

My name is Mona and I am an internet savvy and technology obsessed girl. I am originally Palestinian and I live in the province of Ontario in Canada. That's some info about me, and you can learn more [
She passed by me as I was walking down the street with her tight white pants, short shirt, and an underwear streak that is as visible as lightning in the night. I never understood such motives of covering your hair with a veil or scarf, and your body being as visible as daylight. [
In other words, gossip. Ladies and gentleman, tonight I shall discuss the biggest sin known to man, gossip. Since I am an Arab representative, and I tend to speak on behalf of Arab ideology, I will not reiterate that again today, ... [
... Love, it is such an obscure concept in a male oriented culture. I noticed that some Arab men believe in love, and others, well, if the girl is not like his mother, he will never ever love her. [
... So Arabs don’t discuss love at all? It is forbidden? Are Arabs so secretive? Or is it a blasphmey to even discuss it? You know what the problem is with Arabs and love? The problem is that they don’t know how to love someone before they get married to them. [
A girl this morning asked me by email about living a double life in an Arabic culture. The cause and reasoning of why this thing is quite common within Arab societies. Especially for us that live here in the western world. [

I am only doing my responsibility toward a cause I believe in. I speak my mind.
