Good morning Viraj and all readers,

I liked your comment regarding the religious aspect and how it can disturb your subconcious....this is so true as I felt the same, but only when I was visiting my husband and his family. I felt as though I was obligated to respect to Allah and the muslim practices while I was there in Algeria. Every morning as I lay in my bed I would hear the announcement from the loud speakers of the local mosque that it was time to pray. Then i would hear my father-in-law speaking the name "Allah" in a loud voice. The first time I heard him I had cold chills all over my body and in my mind I was feeling that I had violated my religious beliefs.

Please know readers that I am not in any way condoning the Muslim faith. I am a Christian. I do acknowledge other religions.
This was a delicate position for me every time i was there. I had many concerns about how my husband and I would intergrate our beliefs under the same roof. Could we possibly have two different Holy books....The Holy Bible and The Quran under the same roof. Could we have a picture of Jesus Christ and Mohamed (pbuh) hung on a wall under the same roof. ????? These concerns are a reality and deeply concerned me.

These concerns should be a reality awakening for the female readers who are not Muslim.
