   Salaams

I think it is a big issue.. and honestly I beleive more of an issue amonst the women than men..  I have many theories.. but they are just theories.. 

When I tried to be invovled in a masjid I signed up to help with a fair or something like that. I was in a kitchen with a bunch of women and only one older lady was nice and talked to me.. and she hadlimited English. The rest, i was there an hour, said NOTHING to me.. 

Frankly, i know too many revert women who are just plain isolated.. it is a terrible problem.  I don't think it has to do with 9-11.. not among the women. Women are just cliquish..

	As-salam-u-laikum! I live in Stone Mountain,GA. I have run into sisters who don't give their salaam back. But their are sisters who give their salaam also. It does bother me. The other day my friend and I were in the Farmers Market and we passed a sister and gave her our salaam. We had no response. I walked a couple of steps and decided to turn around and give my salaam a little louder. She responded. It seems like she was thinking about what she was buying then her surroundings. LOL! Well sis, I give you my salaam. PS. We are not that bad down here. Edited by Danty - 13 April 2009 at 8:52pm
