    There are a lot of intuitive observations on issues in the Ummah here.

    Is this your writings?
    `But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
     `Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad.  You're mad.'
     `How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
     `You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

    No it is not. I really like how she lays out things, she takes something that has been bothering me and she just flays it wide open and shows parts I never considered before.
    It's like therapy.

    The blog about racism towards white converts, while at the same time placing them higher than black converts, was like a revelation to me. I've seen bits and pieces of this attitude towards some converts I know, but to see it put together like that was something else. Very nice.
    The future is full of thrilling possibilities.

    That blog is fascinating as to me it is describing a form of xianity I knew well, which leads to fascinating questions - is this something humans do, or is Islam really a form of xianity?

    And what is that comment about home furnishings? Is IKEA haram?

    Some things that IKEA sells are haram, yes. This is true of any furnishing store, I am sure.

    I know. She just cements whatever suspicion you might have had on a subject, by laying it out flat and in it's entirety, and no one can deny the truth of it.

    The most obvious would be items with animals depicted on them. I have met Muslims who had no furniture, believing that to have what the Prophet did not would not be Sunnah. How that excused their telephone, I have no clue.

    My grandad wanted to go shopping for a couch.

    I took him to IKEA.

    When he got out of the car he asked: Ey qey'a?

    Carpets. Curtains. Low tables. Cushions. Some won't even do bookshelves, just line their books up along the wall on the floor. Those are the ones that make hijra to Muslim countries, they don't last long here.

    I didn't mean from Ikea. They have some great natural fibre carpets, by the way.
