Oh, baby. | muslim musings from the Other east

Muslim musings from the Other east. October 21, 2009. As I write this, Mo and I are still arguing about today’s topic. We were casually discussing a number of things a few days ago, when we came upon the subject of our newly pregnant friends. Selim and Asma, both of whom are Muslims and graduate students, are married, but are not ready to take on the responsibility of a baby. This surprise has them considering, to my extreme disappointment, an abortion. Islam prohibits abortion at ANY stage of a pregnancy.

Muslim musings from the Other east. Introducing the Spider Removal Kit! Introducing the Spider Removal Kit! October 29, 2009. I have a problem. I’m afraid of spiders. I want to kill them, but I usually can’t. I wasn’t always afraid of spiders. Somehow, over the past three years, I have become more and more afraid of them. And for some reason, the big ones come out when Mo goes away. So there I am alone in the apartment and bam! October 29, 2009 at 2:06 am. October 29, 2009 at 2:45 pm. Hehe, thank you!

Muslim musings from the Other east. Sloppy Joe’s Leftovers. Sloppy Joe’s Leftovers. October 6, 2009. The weather is getting much cooler, so after a long walk from my home to campus, I found myself in urgent need of the restroom. Luckily, there is a restroom just across from our graduate workspace. I rushed in, but was utterly horrified at the site staring up at me: urine. It wasn’t just a drop here or there, but pools of it all around the toilet seat. October 7, 2009 at 3:45 am. You would think that peop...

Muslim musings from the Other east. Cirque du Sol…hey! Cirque du Sol…hey! October 14, 2009. Unfortunately, I’ve spent most of my life without my grandparents near me, and the closest relationship I ever had with someone over the age of 60 was with a former co-worker who was a chain smoking, heavy metal listening, thrice-divorced, godless woman with the heart of a 20 year old. Your seat is in THIS row! October 14, 2009 at 5:10 pm. October 26, 2009 at 2:00 am. October 14, 2009 at 10:07 pm. The old homes th...
