Are you getting your deen back together, Muslimah?

I will always be culturally Muslim. It's hard to break free from religion a 100%, so I use some Islamic phrases with my friends who understand them. I don't see myself going back to any organised religion anytime soon. My bio profile in Arabic says I'm a Pagan, lol.

I used to hang with Muslims back in the 90's. Almost invariably, if you asked one of the brothers if they were gonna go to the masjid or do this or that and if they said "inshallah", it pretty much meant it wasn't going to happen lol... used to laugh about it

It is amusing. I would get mad as a kid when I asked my parents for something + they'd say inshallah, I would get so mad bc I knew it wasn't gonna happen.

I would rather they just tell me no, or they won't do it, but okay... I can use inshallah for when I don't wanna do things too π.

That's what I learned about Islam from the Muslim brothers. Everything is deceptive and no one ever really says what they really mean and you have to always read between the lines lol. It's all an appearance, a mask...

The Ottoman Empire ruled Turkey for centuries. It was the last Muslim caliphate. It wasn't until Attaturk came on the scene back in the 1920's that it changed.

Right. That was the end of the caliphate in Islam. World War I changed a lot of things all over the globe. End of the Czar in Russia. End of the Kaiser in Germany. Beginning of Zionist Israel (Balfour Declaration). Many, many changes...
