Great Idea I must say, I find it...Asalaamu Alaikum,<br />Great Idea I must say, I find it odd that Arab men not all but I have to say it is mostly within Egyptian and Gulf Arab communities are very misbehaved, I don't know if it's the mothers spoiling, or sense of entitlement, but it's their in fact they only get worse when they come to the west, for instance I live in NYC near Astoria so the big Muslim community is Steinway St, which unfortunately I can no longer go to a certain section of even though I wear niqab because it's overrun by Egyptian hookah shops with those very same See my Miniskirt abaya type women inside.(YUCK!!)and they stare and I've just decided I'm only going anywhere near there to go to the masjid and only when I need to, my Mr. man hates it, and Another friend's husband has pretty much forbidden her from going. Of course when my MR told me about the Saudi men I was inclined not to believe it but some of them are really bad from what I have noticed, he always get's angry when Saudi's come up in conversation and other gulf Arabs,goes on tandems about how they just come to Morocco and pick out girls and take them to hotels, and how they treat other Arabs horribly. I must say he sounds a bit bitter, but at the same time he say's and I tend to agree that the Saudi's are the best at explaining Islam. I think that pretty much describes the Saudi Dichotomy does it seem that way to anyone else? Of course I'm not Arab and am a revert and am a Niqabi so to me I tend to see more positives in Saudi than he does. For instance I told him the other day how great would it be to live close enough to drive( be driven) to Mecca Everyday SubhanAllah I would love it he gave me A point for that.But i don't know just someone on the outside looking in.<br /><br />Salaam's KhadijahKhadijahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481269903589710089.post-75325958364709797062008-08-06T18:19:00.000+03:002008-08-06T18:19:00.000+03:00Such an idea sounds terrific!!The problem is that ...Such an idea sounds terrific!!<BR/>The problem is that when being harrassed bey such stupid animals,some girls might get angry and start shouting so , there won't be a chance of videotaping them or even taking a picture!! Other girls might panic by doing so if the guy noticed it since guys these days are so crazy when it comes to ruining their reputation. Albiet, they don't fear on those girls reputation at all!!<BR/><BR/>You are so right about such type of girls too. I really don't know what is all the colored abays fuss!! What I know is that we have two types of abayas. A regular one for everyday life, so simple without decorations. The other type is the kind of colored one, sleeves only, which people wear at occassions and weddings!!<BR/><BR/>True, it's becoming the girls' fault these days not only the guys. I have seen alot in shopping malls and restaurants talking to guys and moreover giving numbers which would surely be the SAWSA number their parents would never know about!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481269903589710089.post-43481212826109868402008-05-11T20:11:00.000+03:002008-05-11T20:11:00.000+03:00sand_sparklesCouldnt stop laughing wen i read this...sand_sparkles<BR/><BR/>Couldnt stop laughing wen i read this.<BR/>I live in saudi and it does make me puke wen i go 2 Jeddah (heaven for the ones who want to flirt around)<BR/>and i see all those made up women and men, on the pull yuk.............Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481269903589710089.post-58542199434918813272008-04-24T14:46:00.000+03:002008-04-24T14:46:00.000+03:00Hey,Read many comments here but are you guys sugge...Hey,<BR/><BR/>Read many comments here but are you guys suggesting how we can move out of these issues.<BR/><BR/>There is a problem and it must be addressed with speed it deserves.AFRICA SHIPPING LINE - ASLINEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00168117189368747703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481269903589710089.post-23814753519769025162008-03-12T18:45:00.000+03:002008-03-12T18:45:00.000+03:00nhsticher- welcome to my blog!

For one who lives within the culture, these signs are easy enough to pick up on, such as the "falling-open" abaya and eye make-up that drag-queens would consider too much as well as direct eye-contact (maybe some winking)! These are the ones I'm talking about and it is an obvious to both genders what her intention is through her mannerisms as well as dress. Not all women are angels and there are many who WANT the attention so they follow that formula to get it. However, because girls who send out these blatant signals are part of a minority, young men take pot-shots by shooting hopeful advances at any and ALL women, hoping one will reciprocate. <BR/><BR/>The fact is, if I don't want to have sex with my husband, wearing a teddy will be sending him the wrong message as it's understood that wearing a teddy is a type of invitation. Likewise, in this country it is culturally understood what signals indicate a desire to flirt.<BR/><BR/>I hope that clears up MY intentions for you:-)Saudi Stepford Wife-Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934386285333242262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481269903589710089.post-23959062076679875892008-02-28T05:41:00.000+03:002008-02-28T05:41:00.000+03:00Love your blog, but never commented.
