You know I was going refrain from posting but I think many people are wondering...

Green-Eyed...based on the advice you gave Rahma the other day on proper adab, do you think you are following the same right now when continuing to discuss your sex toys? I would say that is very high on the list of lack of adab. I realize you have stated earlier that just because you have one doesn't mean you use it, but I would like to remind you that there is only one use for such a thing. There is no alternative use for it, therefore discussing it in a public forum is a lack of adab. If you want to talk about it then please by all means continue, but don't call others out about adab when you can practice what you preach good.gif I just want to add I don't really have a problem with anyone here discussing it even though I think its too personal, my problem is with those who discuss such things and then call others out for being disrespectful.

When I call myself a dildo and porport that paper marriages are valid in Islam, then you can call me out.

One more thing. Over the last several months, I've read discussions here about what positions gets you pregnant, Muslimas calling each other fornicators, talking about "living in sin", and more of the same. What is offensive is particularly subjective here, and that can go for me too.

I know you want to fit in with the cabal, doodle, but you don't have the grounds on which to stand.

Double standards are the norm on this board. Objections are not to what is said, but to whom is saying it. As I said before, people jump on whom they want to. Discussions of sex on this board are common, though veiled. When the "rigt" people are in the nix, nothing is said. When the "wrong" people are in the mix, that's whan it's all wrong.

I'm sorry, but some of the Muslimas here consider Islam a joke until they have someone to pick at to divert from what they thmeselves do and say. Then, they side with the pro-fornicators. They resent me for speaking out against fornication, and will use anything I say to try to deflect from themselves. That is clear to more and more too. You are losing your credibility as critics because of your own hypocrisy and failure to practice what you preach and not apply your finger pointing objectively.

In short:



And, that's what you can do with your finger pointing.

I could give a rat's azz if I fit in or not. I think I've proven that quite a few times. What I do care about though is when someone calls another sister out for committing fornication, when she clearly hasn't. If you were half the person Rahma is, I would actually listen to your arguments but you've proven in this and other threads by waving your vibrator and dildo talk that you are not one to be spouting off any right/wrong speeches. You say that you don't use it for masturbation ..... do you hang it from a mantle then and use it for decoration??????

If you want to be taken seriously when you give out Islamic advice, I think perhaps you might wanna clean up your act.

I agree with JP that I don't mind the talk but when someone is being hypocritical and has hurt a dear friend, then I have to speak out as well. Obviously you've used this thread as you have others recently to try to scratch the surface and cause a fight. Do you think this is beneficial to your cause of peace on these boards? I think not, but then that's just me.

I don't give a ratz azz either, and I know I've proven that. I said proper adab is not calling yourself a whore and your husband a pimp in public. Do you think that's ok? If you do, then can you admit to being a hypocrite when you complain about me?

I'm not starting a fight, but, hey, blame me for you showing up to fight.

You know, Rebecca, I have been holding back on saying this, but I will. You used to want to be friends. You used to be very positve toward me, and I haven't changed, but you did. You know how I found out that you didn't like me anymore? It wasn't the way you prescribe for others, that they discuss their issues in private. No, it was because I saw you making fun of me and mocking my positions with people you know didn't like me.

This thread was the first give away. From there, there were other posts that clearly were aimmed at my views; I don't collect them. I said nothing because popularity here isn't important to me. That's not what I'm here for, and that's why I don't really care who likes me and who doesn't.

You folks dislike my proveniciality, and you dislike my unconventionality. You want to put me in a little box that allows you to do and say as you want, but restricts me to silence and absolute prudeness. But, if some can joke about sex, then I can too. So, get over it, y'all.

BTW, we were having fun here, like many of you do when you're mocking me. We will continue to have fun. Get over that too.

I have some advice for you long suffering whiners. Take it or leave it: the ignore button. I will not miss anyone who wants to use it to ignore me because anyone who would is not anyone I want to have to respond to anyway. I post here with and without you, and don't mind at all.

Having spent the majority of the last 6 or 7 years online, I think I need to sum up what I've learned so I don't feel that I've wasted my life:

It's not what you say, it's how you say it.

That's how I can have vehement disagreements with people, and still be their friends. I try to be polite, not condecending, and always open for dialogue. Plus, some humor sprinkled in doesn't hurt either.

Actually, you haven't held back because you said basically the same thing a few weeks ago.

Maybe you haven't changed, but my perception of you did, and that has nothing to do with anyone I know on here. Actually, I am not unique in this either. I think many people initially found your perspective refreshing and were thereafter put off. It isn't a cabal, it is what you are putting out. Fact is, I don't dislike you, but I dislike how you are relentless and I think that has has been exacerbated since the abnormal and gross incident.

The Hypocrites are afraid lest a Sura should be sent down about them, showing them what is really passing in their hearts. Say: "Mock you! But verily God will bring to light all that you fear should be revealed. If you do question them, they declare with emphasis: "We were only joking and playing." Say: "Was it at God, and His Signs, and His Messenger, that you were mocking?"

- The Holy Quran 9:65-66
It's so amusing that you have this in your signature. It's a wonder to me how someone can consistently call others hypocrites yet doesn't even realize that they are one themselves. It's not just me, but others have noticed as well. You constatntly change your story to make it work in your favor in different threads thinking no one will notice, as illustrated below. Why should we believe anything you say? You have insulted so many members on this forum and you don't let up. When someone confronts you about it you lash back with some BS about cliques because ofcourse you can't be wrong, it must be that we are all in a clique of people that just don't like you. Maybe you can explain to people here why in one thread you need a divorce decree and in another you say you were never divorced?

QUOTE(szsz @ Jun 9 2006, 07:25 AM) *
Khadiah said:

I am sure everything said here are all true BUT you must know it is traditional to have a Moroccan wedding with the family as a celebration. It is a way to prove you are married with family and friends at Morocco. My husband and I married at Morocco, we are both very simple muslim people BUT we still had a simple traditional wedding with family and friends of family to acknowledge our marriage to many people. I am sure this is what the CO had in mind because they know it is traditional at Morocco. Even if we are simple people it should have been preformed this way to make all family and friends know the marriage was accomplished. You should have photos for proofs as well.

I spent a lot of time in Morocco before I married a Moroccan, and I know LOTS of couples who didn't have a "traditional wedding". Hecks, lots of people all over the world don't have "traditional weddings". I'm Muslim too, and I know lots of Muslims who have very simple nikahs. In fact, there are ahadith that tell us this is proper to do because to do otherwise is a waste of money that one could use to give alms.

We had a small family reception, and like someone mentioned before, we married just before I left. We registered at the adoul in Sale at 7pm and I was on a plane alone in Casa the next morning to leave at 9:30 am! We barely had time to sleep, much less to throw a fete! The rush was because the judge was trying to find any excuse to mot allow us to marry in the first place and we were down to the wire by the time our newly-hired attorney was able to convince him that if the US Embassy had validated my divorce ( a requirement), then why wouldn't he accept their word, if not my divorce decree. We did have a honeymoon in May this year.


QUOTE(szsz @ Sep 27 2006, 05:09 PM) *
Ok, so how many ladies here have put their SO to the "test" regarding the just-for-a-visa issue? (Be honest now.)

I never tested my husband so much as I didn't take him seriously for a long time. He was 26 when we met online, I was nearly 47. Although most of the women in my family are married to younger men, several of them Moroccan men, and although men at least 10 years younger approached me regularly, I was still looking for someone my own age. That's what I was used to. So, despite the fact that I have a house in Agadir and go there at least once a year, it didn't really occur to me early on that this young Moroccan man had a chance to ever be my husband; visas never even crossed my mind. Besides, having grown up there, I knew that, outside of western Sahara, the percentage of older women married to younger men was very low.

I had some fun with him and was attracted to him, but kept looking for older guys. After a few months talking to him, I told him that it had been fun, but it was time for me to get serious and for him to find a woman his own age. He protested that I was the one he wanted, but I was gone. For about a year, all I would give him was cursory hellos, feeling oh so guilty about the continuing attention and gifts he showered on me. When he'd catch me online, I would remind him that he was too young for me and ask if he had found someone else yet. Always the answer was no, he was waiting for me.

After a while and several older suitors later, I realized that he was the only one who remembered my birthday, my favorite movie, what color my eyes were, and all the details of my life as I had related them. I realized that he was already committed to me, and so much better than the rest. Just because he came wrapped in a smoother, not so graying package was no reason to let him get away. I had to allay my fears about growing older ahead of him, perhaps he would change his mind about not wanting children. I've never been divorced before and didn't want it to happen to me, especially at an older age. But, these are the chances you take in any relationship.
No, I didn't test him, per se, but now, after waiting four years to meet me, and now more than 2.5 years to live with me, I know for sure he could have gotten a visa easier with someone else, so, even though he gets terribly frustrated with the bureaucracy, and sometimes with me, we're still hanging in there together.

OMG, I hate it when we are fighting and he says "as you wish"! That just makes my blood boil.

I hate that too!

The rush was because the judge was trying to find any excuse to mot allow us to marry in the first place and we were down to the wire by the time our newly-hired attorney was able to convince him that if the US Embassy had validated my divorce ( a requirement), then why wouldn't he accept their word, if not my divorce decree. We did have a honeymoon in May this year.

I've never been divorced and I didn't have a divorce decree. I had a death decree. That was a typo I didn't catch. The rest is true.

Babybunny-- sorry since I'm not up on everyone's religious preferences yet..

But I would choose the chocolate chip! i made them for my husband and he LOVED them. if your SO is Muslim and you want to keep it halal, just buy vanilla powder or non-alcoholic vanilla when you make the recipe! Chocolate chip is best made by scratch, buuuuut PB is great if you buy the pilsbury one and then add some extra crunchy peanut butter to the dough! So I think you could do both!! Sugar cookies are also good from the pre-done dough.

You could make a cake? And write something cute on top?

AND! OMG! You could have a cuuute dinner with candles and non-alcoholic wine (sparkling juice) if you're keeping halal, but I think I'd do that on day 2!

As far as what else in the basket? Depends on what kind of signals you want to send! Rahma has good ideas! Or you could put in some of his favorite snacks or candy, or maybe you could do some fruit.. what about an itenerary for the week? Or the next couple days at least? Maybe some redemable massage tickets (for him from you) or something cute and private like that?

It's quite a typo to go from "the death certificate of my former husband" to "my divorce decree."

I'm not going to belabor this, JP. I have no reason to lie about that. I make a lot of typos. I've also made many posts about my first husband's death. So, take it as you will. Do I care? No, I don't.

For awhile, i was using real vanilla beans in my cooking. While it taste great, it's a bit expensive. We just recently got little packets of vanilla sugar from the local ME groccery store. The cookies that are sitting on the stove cooling at this moment are really really tasty.
