Izzy Mo is OK!

August 29, 2005 at 11:15 pm (Uncategorized)

Assalamu alaikum, I spoke to Izzy Mo earlier today!  She is fine!  Though she’s still at the airport, or wherever she said she was!
 
      Please make dua for her and her family and everyone who has gone through all of this!  This storm is coming this way, and I think is still a tropical storm!  As of now, I’m hearing rain or wind or both, outside the window!  I’m not sure how much rain we’re supposed to get, but we’re under a flood watch at least and maybe even a tropical storm watch or even warning, but I need to check the weather!
 
     I’ve been reading a book, so need to go and pray Isha now!  Also, if I don’t get there first, or even if I do, could someone kindly go over to Izzy Mo’s blog at http://izzymo.blogspot.com, and just post a comment letting everyone over there know she is OK?  We might get some bad weather tonight, even tornadoes, though don’t know how likely that is, but I want to try to sleep, just in case the weather gets bad during the night, and I have to get up and head to the basement…
 
     Take care all, sorry this is written in a hurry, but it’s getting late here, I’m tired, and my head is starting to hurt!
 
Take care all…

Make Dua for Izzy Mo

August 28, 2005 at 1:11 pm (Uncategorized)

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

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…
