Dupatta-fied Hippy Loon...
I’m sitting in the public library, vigorously typing an email to a certain Niqabified. As usual, and committed solely to my habit, I look around to see what is going on around me. I’m wearing yellow trainers, loose jeans, a bright blue shirt, a white dupatta and a scorny, unapproachable look across my face. I suddenly look to my right and see a middle-aged (cute-ish?) ‘gora’ sit on the computer next to mine. 'Asalamolikum,' he says. I’m a mixture of stunned, gob-smacked and lost. I’m so not good when it comes to quick talking. (thats an understatement. im actually AWFUL at it!) Not knowing what to do, I flash him a forced, prettified smile. I quickly log off and run away, away, away. Im thinking that he's probably thinking what a loon.Thinking back, I realize what harm would it have done to say 'Walaikumsalam'??
DAIIIIIIMMNN me!
[ I should have thought of DR.PEPPER ... whats the worst that could have happened? ]

said... U cant percieve a person from what they look like, for all u know the guy who said aslamulaikum may not be a muslim, but could be a phsyco. The world is a dangerous place. Its better to just say w.salam and carry on, and if the person is persistant then u hav 2 options:
1) kindly say, "im sorry, but im busy, plz dont disturb me"
ot the 2nd option is smack them in the teeth.-

Asslamualyukm
erm as far as i have read its not permisible to reply with walykum asslam
as thats the reply muslims are given. therefore to walykum wud b ok insha'Allaah to avoid any harm that may be caused to the repligion of islam ie waht the man thinks. and Allaah knows best
Asslamaulyukm Humera Aslam-

u might wanna consider falling again(but spare the mangoes this time), it'll give ash something to blog about...v dont want her to go off blogging now, do v?!-
