Not to worry good Ozy. Without simply refers to the breakup of my long term affairs at the JD. I am no longer welcome there it seems because the two administrators made a few mistakes in actions relating to my God belief versus my absolute intolerance for the ideology called Zionism. The two of them apparently underestimated my political savvy and that was always known and accepted on my part. I never wished to get into the depth of that morass with those two men. I always knew I'd have to walk away at that point. And perhaps, one of them also knew that I'd have to walk away at that point (and he perhaps wanted to 'help me out' a bit by asking what really is better found out on one's own in own's own spare time)..walk out at that point because of many things and not the smallest of which is that as a muslim, I am not 'bendable' like they are. Simply not bendable. And my logic is as good regarding ideologies as it is regarding 'believers' which encompasses every faith based on one God which falls under the jurisdiction of Islam. You know Ozy...it takes many years to get to the point I am with my Islam...and two folks who don't even have the essentials of the discussion under their belts cannot possibly expect me to tolerate ignorance or underhandedness towards a believer or what is believed in.
They think otherwise and perhaps they think it is a popularity contest. Funny, you'd think that believing firmly in something as good as God and God's word on everything from oppression to chastity would be a GOOD thing but in the world today, it isn't. The world today is mixed up Ozy and when you get to where I am you see things pretty clearly. It is painful to see sometimes but it helps to know that it is all expected. All expected.
For sure though...the Quran doesn't just talk about things 'non muslim'. In fact, most of it is about the betrayal within the faith itself but the only people that can get that far into it are the ones free from any doubt. Getting there Ozy takes a long time for some and for others who have good sense...it can take moments. I'm one of the (perhaps) less fortunate ones...I took the long hard road instead of the easy one. I'm glad I'm there though now and have no regrets about the passage.
All my best and salaam as always to you and yours. Is your grandmother okay? Wherever she is on this time line I hope it is a good spot.

Why without?
