the practice
in my first few days back in bombay one thing i've noticed is how much easier it is to practice islam here than it is in los angeles. with the negative connotations the word jihad has today, it might be not wise to say this but i'm beginning to understand why they say practicing islam in the west is a continuous jihad. the basic meaning of that term is struggle and considering how difficult it is to reconcile the islamic and western indentities, struggle is exactly what being a muslim in the west is all about. more on this later.
