Middle East and North Africa	MENA men and their family	I agree with everyone on this. Last year kamal had his visa right before ramadan and he wouldn't leave til the end. He took that time to see his family and spend time with them because he really didn't know when the next time he'd see everyone was. We are planning a December 09 trip, insha allah.

Middle East and North Africa	The hijab is a symbol of oppression, sexism and perversion - Agree or disagree?	QUOTE (rahma @ Nov 25 2008, 08:13 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> On youtube, there are a bunch of videos showing how to put on different types of hijab. Specifically how to put on an al amirah (the two piece one you have I believe), check this out. For the longest time, I only work my hijab like this, because it's the only thing I knew how to do: When I went to egypt, my SIL physically showed me how to do it and wrapped different styles, which gave me some skills, so now I can do different styles on my own. I still actually wear it like that most of the time, but today I have on an underscarf and a big rectangle shayla. If there are some hijabis in your area, ask them to show you. Also, you were suppose to send me your address and your favorite color, cuz I have a present for you AWWWWWWWWWWW, thanks Rahma, I sent you a PM.	Muh and me	Female	Egypt	2008-11-25 10:13:00
Middle East and North Africa	The hijab is a symbol of oppression, sexism and perversion - Agree or disagree?	Rahma, what you posted is absolutly beautiful. I have a few two piece hijabs and a few scarfs. I am having the most difficult time trying to wear these the right way. Any suggestions?	Muh and me	Female	Egypt	2008-11-24 18:48:00
Middle East and North Africa	The hijab is a symbol of oppression, sexism and perversion - Agree or disagree?	OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I can just smell all kinds of trouble with this thread!! Personally, I find women in hijab probably more attractive then women without. And i'm not gay or anything like that.	Muh and me	Female	Egypt	2008-11-21 20:08:00

Middle East and North Africa	Double lives of visa journey petitioners ( what we dont really want to post)	QUOTE (star_dragon @ Nov 25 2008, 10:38 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (morocco4ever @ Nov 25 2008, 10:16 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Kat, you have got to stop reflecting what has happened to you onto everyones relationship. You take everything that is said and have blown it up into a big nasty slam fest. Not everyone that posts here feels the need to tell you their lives story. It doesn't mean they are hiding it, it merely means that it is nobodys business. My thoughts exactly I second that!	Muh and me	Female	Egypt	2008-11-25 11:48:00
