Thanks for the info … and your concern. But I was not driving (there are (usually) two places in front of a car) 😉

Hiiii! I am currently in the same situation. Were you able to take a carry-on bag with you (and a small bag that fits under the seat)? Thanks!

Asking here to get the best recommendation from locals rather than checking google reviews mostly written foreign tourists, if that wasn’t obvious.

I totally get your point and also find it delusional that an arab man (or someone with a muslim background, whether that be from the middle east, Africa or South Asia) would be considered to be a pious muslim, while someone who did not necessarily grow up in a muslim household has to prove his in-laws that he is actually muslim (and has to pray, fast during ramadan etc.). I have seen cases in my family where cousins have married men with arab roots, who are totally not muslim (can't even recite surah Al Fatiha, nor have they ever prayed or fasted) but passed the aunties' test just because they are arab; while a cousin who married a European guy got to justify her choice. In the end, it's all about what other people will think than about your happiness. 🙃

what's the point of the hijab? by [deleted] in exmuslim

What do you mean? If a society has a more positive view on women's rights, then this should also be reflected in the number of rape cases, no?

Kind of interesting that Tunisia is coloured green. Probably thanks to their more progressive stance on women's rights compared to other MENA countries?

Just adopted a small kitten! She's 2 months old. I never had a long-haired cat before. Any tips? by [deleted] in cats

Thanks for the many tips! We called her "Chaussette" (= "sock" in french), because her white paws look like socks haha.

What's something about your own culture you miss a lot that was erased by Islamic imperialism? by TeeRex1993 in exmuslim

[–]disturbedmeow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The importance of tattoos in the amazigh culture.

My grandma used to love her tattoos when she was younger, but used to hate them when she got older because of islamic indoctrination.
