					<description><![CDATA[Sorry for posting again, don&#039;t mean to hog the comment space. But MU is right. Can anyone name any fun things that will be accepted by religious fundamentalists? I don&#039;t think so. Music, kite flying, dancing, partying, racing, going out with friends, sports, almost everything fun is considered un-Islamic in our beloved country. 

These extremists always complained that we have borrowed these non-Islamic values from the West. Do you realize that Islam is also a Western religion and came to us from the West (look at the map, Saudi Arabia is to our west.) Even if you take a look at the Saudis, they still practice many of their pre-Islamic cultural values. They spend immense amounts on food, liquor and belly dancing; desert safaris, hunting, smoking sheesha and chilling out in their tents. Look at the Turks. They were the ones who brought Islam to many countries. They still have their cultural values in tact. The same goes for Jordanians, Syrians, Lebanese, Palestinians and most Arab countries. I don&#039;t think that we have to give up our cultural values in order to be Muslims. Religion and culture can, and do, co-exist. I think we are just intellectually deprived. Instead of opening channels for people to communicate and come to terms with the realities of civil life, we brand everything that pisses off the Maulvis as un-Islamic and then shy away from any meaningful debate.]]></description>
