Assalamu alaikum, all, if anyone’s seen the news the past few days, you will know that Hurricane Katrina has passed through South Florida, and now is in the Gulf of Mexico, and has become a very major hurricane. As of now, it seems to be heading toward the New Orleans area! I’m asking that everyone make dua / pray for Izzy Mo and her family! And anyone else affected by this hurricane! This seems to be very bad!
Izzy Mo! I’ve looked everywhere for your number! I can’t find it! I shoulda put it in my phone when I got your message with your number in it, but I thought I could do it later, and now I can’t find it! Not that I can really do anything, but if you need anything, call or email me!
OK, all, that’s all for now!

Planet Grenada: ol� to allah
Assalamu alaikum, the following paragraph got my attention:
Although the local Latino community has been largely supportive of the Alianza, some non-Latino Muslims have not. Mendez says many Arab and Pakistani Muslims
seem critical of the Latinos’ efforts to adopt Islam. Immigrant Muslims sometimes attend djumma (Friday) prayers at the Alianza, but they often criticize
the group’s command of Arabic and their understanding of Islam; one Pakistani Muslim even said that Puerto Ricans are “too promiscuous” to be “good” Muslims.
And in fact, the Alianza is actually being ousted from its current location by an immigrant Muslim landlord.
My question is, why do the immigrant Muslims spoken of in the article not considering hte Latino Muslims “not real Muslims”, and why do they say they are too promiscuous? I’d sure like to know that…
