Muslims should take control of their own image Dear,

Appearnces are deceptive.

US isn`t what it appears to be. They are devising new laws and orders baased on short-term convenience. In time every thing here will fall, but if we keep ourselves restrained, we would be doing something for our future generations to rejoice with.Islam will survive.

Their Hollywood is only the beginning of an end. Not only the present trend of depersonalisation of Muslims, but also promotion of extreme violence and extreme sexual immorality. We can face the reality, but accepting something and promoting something are not the same.

The Overlooked Problem of Pakistani Racism. Sorry, dear. I have seen those `ROOTS` eyes my self in the South of USA, inside the classroom of a reputed university. After looking at that way at an African, he thought he could do the same to me! No, he took his eyes down, but I kept looking at him with disgust.I am a Bengali, not fully Aryan, like my grandfathers on both sides, but what we call it in Bengali is `Ujjal Shamla,` though people of my community says I am `saaf.`

I say, it is this complexion, that has right amount of melanin in the skin. I can surely portray myself as a model in a magazine, but the question that arises, just to show that I am better looking male than the paler Europeans, would I go as low as to be a model.

Would I portray myself something I don`t want to promote, like promoting men as sexual object? I would like to request my fellow Subcontinentals, lets not compete with them in the wrong side of the road. It takes decades or centuries for people to realise, who are right and who are wrong.

Men musn`t bother about their complexion, and shouldn`t worry about their looks too much. A well built, well dressed Dravidian caucasoid man, is much more soothing to the eyes than a `pinky`.

For men, a `cutie` means a cute heart or a cute nature or a cute smile, and never a cute rose. And lets be careful about the views promoted by feminists and others(?).These are observations from my study.

Lets devote our time in worrying about something fruitful, but surely you must take bath regualarly, wear clean clothes, brush your teeth, and musn`t go to the mosque or elsewhere with stinky smell of garlic, onions or sweat. And moreover, surely use water after defacation, you don`t want to cover everything with perfume, do you?

The Limits on Women’s Lives Dear Anita,

My parents used to beat me , probably for minor reasons. But that was part of life. We appreciate

modesty so much that asking for DNA testing is not possible. Thses are something that is possible in the West. Hey! do you have a card that says you don`t have STD/AIDS. The person I have spent the last night with had one. Anything is possible there. But for me, doubting my wife is as good as first step for divorce. May be not for those non-Muslims who have attained superiority in the world today, this is no factor. But once you loose head you lost everything. In time we will win. Its just a bad period of time in the history.From my experience I can tell Western style promotion of feminism can not sustain marriage lasting for a long time. Family is made irrelevant. How about open marriage! common law marriage! gay marriage! incest! why what`s wrong with these to a atheist.

Can you answer just one thing: why do you think atheist who smirks at Islamic dress code, they themselves even wear a clothe. They don`t have any regulations. Why don`t they be more exposive? Why only in sea beach, why not every where? You can not answer that question, right?

The a good number of people of America may have Christian names but they are in fact faithless.

Same goes for us. You are right human are not perfect. We need strict rules. Can you develop feminism based on Islamic values, but strictly maintaining Islamic values? Don`t follow the Westerners , the Biblical Romans, or we will face the same fate as they will face.
