Have a really nice day, insha allah

My friend sara who is staying with me for the weekend said to me yesterday that I should write like a contribution to the teacher´s magazine about this Niqab issue. She think I shoud raise awareness to the dubble standards we have in this country. Like she said: ' Get it out of your system, I can see this really bothers you'
And she is right, this whole thing really does bothers me. Some things really gets under my skin, and I get really irritated about it and I have a hard time letting this go. Maybe I should do that? And not complain (like a reader said I do) so much in this blog. But really what do have this blog for, if not to write stuff that are stck in my head? Sometimes you can´t let stuff go, untill you have writing the thoughts down, like on this blog. If I didn´t have this blog to complain about stuff, I would never get any sleep! I love that I have a blog to complain to. My blog is like my punchingbag or something like that. Everyone needs a punchingbag! RIGHT?

Today is the last day on the weekend and insha allah this will be a great day! Me and sara and insha allah my hubby will go out and eat some dinner later, and before that me and sara really needs to study! maybe I should wake her up? She just sleep and sleep. Me? well I am sitting here in my kitchen infront of my computer with a cup of tea, thinking about if I should start making breakfast or not... hmm?

Unlawful desires

'Unlawful desires are usually associated with ugliness. They leave behind a lingering sensation of pain and guilt. Hence, whenever you are tempted, think about liberating yourself. Think about all the remorse that would accompany the realisation of those desires, and then make up your mind. Struggling your way through obedience is not an easy task. It is, however, associated with goodness and soothing pleasures. Whenever you overburden yourself (with unlawful desires) think about how nice it would be to repent and set yourself free. Think about the pleasures that lawful desires will provide and try to make the correct choice. The dilemma you will experience should be reduced by remembering the sweet pleasure and the ultimate happiness that your obedience (to Allah) will provide. Also make your struggle less of one by picturing the punishment that follows disobedience to Allah. Logically your mind should opt for the more rewarding option and help you to endure the pain of denying yourself the realisation of such desires.'

Ah saturday! YaY

So I am home and Sara is here and we are suppose to study. I am helping her with her schoolwork, but we are getting nothing done! HAHA so typical! it is so much more fun to talk and do other stuff than it is to study.

yesterday I won a bid on a sewing pattern for a skirt on tradera! So I will sew my own skirt instead of trying to find a skirt in a store! IMPOSSIBLE
Anywho! I love the fact that it is weekend!

The joy of honest day of hard work

So I´ve been to work today! Yay! I have missed the little ones at work, and the best is that they have missed me aswell! Oh they are just so cute all of them. Christmas is closing in and it gets clearer by the day. Today we put up a christmastree at preschool (not my idea). And I was reminded how wonderful it is that I don´t have to have a christmastree anymore :)

Now I am looking at Merlin! I love that serie :) It is sooo exciting!

Democracy or hypocrisy

How come, when people talk about democracy, they only mean a few selected people?
Or should I say they mean everybody except muslims?

We are always saying this is a democracy, but when a women choose to cover she is threat to the democrasy, suddenly she is not part of the democracy and therefore the rules for democracy does not apply to her?

Oh no, they don´t say this, but they act this way! Democracy is for all, except if you happen to be a citizen that is muslim!

And yes we do have religious freedom in tis country.... except if you are muslim. Then you do not have the right to practice. Like if I want to cover I can´t cause the freedom of religion does not apply to me! I am a threat to democracy!!!

Boring

I have had a really boring day today, not doing anything. I can´t go to work cause of my neck.... Yah it is that bad! I hate that I can´t really move. And work is out of the question at least for a day or two. My line of work is quite a hand full at some times and right now my neck can´t handle it. Anyway I´ve been looking at a new serie that I found on youtube called little mosque on the prairie. It is soooo funny! I relly do recomend it! They are making it funny, all the prejudices that people have. And see us muslim are normal to? didn´t you know?
