Question aimed at algerians only!

[Al-khiyal]

They fit perfectly well. Rather than people being nasty to her, people should have maybe approached a little more tactfully. We all make mistakes right, have imperfections... Is that not what you said? So she made a mistake and did'nt put it how most of you wanted to hear it.

They 'fit' in the context of what they were a particular response to. They have nothing to do with the original questions that Jannah posed. It's never a mistake to ask a question.

[Jannah]

People make mistakes and sometimes things we say come out wrong. I know exactly where Jannah was coming from when she said 'algerian men'. She did'nt mean it the way most of you seem to have thought. Why all the nastiness. We all make mistakes and there is not one of us here who has'nt, so rather than being horrible or judging, lets try to help people see how they may have come across in the wrong way or a way that you feel was offensive.
As Jannah says, God will do the judging.

Salam sweet sonya,

Thank you so much for defending me, actually the quote of Al Khiayal you chose was a perfectly innocent one and was referring to a mistake I freely admit to and regret, however a negative can become a positive when we learn from it and choose to do better.

The title of the thread is not of great importance to me anymore as it is an old thread and I have changed and got wiser as inshallah we all should do as we go through life. However I did find it disappointing to get such a negative response, but we as people are judged for our own actions and not others, I explained I think what I meant, if some people are less than charitable that is their own affair, it does not touch on my life.

I came on this forum originally to understand something of the culture and customs of my husband and his family to understand them better, I know what I meant and I think many sisters like me have become victims of confusion over another way of thinking. I not only took on another culture but another religion. I have found much more understanding from sisters like myself who have come through it. This is not a negative thing, I am much closer with my husband than I have ever been and I see sisters who have been married to algerian men and may have had some turmoil in the early years but have strong, happy and stable marriages.

Through something an algerian man said, I would like to get an idea of the truth of the statement! Is it common for algerian men to spend all night talking with their friends at ramadan? Is this a tradition or something? I thouht they were supposed to praying or with their family but apparently algerian muslims are different?

And this is the biggie...do algerian women sit quietly by and accept this with a smile and say nothing?

not all Algerian men’s are like that ! some spend the holy month praying and doing other holy stuff (machallah) . and some other don’t even care and not even bother about the month forgetting it is a very holy month that comes once a year!!!!

In this case not all women can do anything about this !!!!!!

loooolz
