so, we got new neighbours today. they are Muslim. I do not believe that all Muslim's are terrorists but I must admit that I know little about their culture other than a lot of pre-conceived notions that are probably more based in fiction (i.e. 24 anyone?) than reality. I do not personally know any Muslim people. I did not go to school with any, I do not work with any.
I look forward to getting to know them if we have the opportunity. From the 2 minutes we met out front they seem very lovely. Her name is Ikram and his is Ahmed. They have 3 children around the same age as our children. It would be great if Nate (and Maggie) had a friend or two next door.
well, I think i'm going to go finish my book now, just an easy read Michael Connelly murder mystery - my version of chick-lit.
I am looking for an actual good book to read if anyone has any suggestions.
I know some Muslims through work, not well granted. Like most people they are probably as different as they are the same. I wouldn't be surprised if you have a lot of values in common if you can set aside the theological specifics.
ReplyDeleteI just finished "Holding still for as long as possible" by Zoe Whittall, Not sure if you will like it but I enjoyed it.
