  • Caught buying alcohol...
     OP - August 26, 2013, 09:26 PM
    I was at the local Tesco to buy a small bottle of gin before the store closes.  I didn't think I'd see anyone at this time but when I turned around I saw a local Muslim guy behind me just staring with an odd look. 

    He lives just opposite my parents' house but isn't really on speaking terms.  However I'm kinda concerned because I know how close-knit communities (Asian) behave, I.e., they talk/gossip and word gets around.

    Any advice/suggestions?

    Sorry for any mistakes this is from my phone.

    You were buying it for a friend/work colleague as it's their birthday.

    Whenever I go to a BBQ I always pick up a bottle of Rose for my friends who invited me.

    My friend got caught drinking on Wednesday. He told me about it on Thursday. Tried ringing him on Friday. No answer from him as of yet. He is married with two kids.

    It would be lovely to say you bought it because you wanted to. Smiley

    I hate the constant looking over our shoulders we've got to do. My advice is don't give any thought to it. To do so is to give someone power over you i.e. what they will do/say etc? Just be yourself.
    Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

    Problem is I'm staying at my parents' temporarily and they know I have no work colleagues right now nor any friends in this city, this would have been a perfect backup otherwise. :(

    Oh wow your friend's situation is even worse I think it might worth checking on him tomorrow or something! He left Islam during his marriage then?

    I know :( and in any other city I wouldn't give it any thought.  But I'm in my home town right now where Muslim families tend to know each other at some vague level at the very least.

    My friend...do what's best for you. Do what puts in least danger and avoid confrontation at all costs.

    Worst comes to worst you could atleast deny it and say the guy is making it up. OR you could 'fess up. Whatever path you choose make sure you consider all the possibiliteis and possible ramifications.

    If you need a quick place to stash the bottler, send it over to me!!  dance

    Zam-Zam just sounds like an alcoholic drink.

    Zam-Zam and Coke

    Zam-Zam on the rocks

    Zam-Zam and tonic.

    It's got that ring to it. Smiley

    Final Fantasy - You be smart. You rehearse the exact same story but in your story he was buying the alcohol, (you may or may not add some bullshit like you gave him a look, like you might tell his family!)

    If and when next dude is seen near your place or unbeknownst to you has actually told your family (the never do though , do they, they tell other people) you hit back  rehearsed/polished truth that it was him who bought the alcohol and he has only grassed you up as to pre-empt your possible action). Right this makes sense to me, as I write it, you ask for further clarification because it will work. It might not totally exonerate you but gives you wriggle-room, gives your parents time (maybe they won't want to believe it of their son/they like your denials that you don't drink to save face with others), you could get off with reasonable doubt.

    If you can't say you bought it for friends/coworkers, how about for your boss? Maybe your boss just had a kid, or their kid got married, or some other piece of good news, and you know he likes gin so you got him a small bottle, etc. etc.

    I can't say I like devilsadvokat's idea of throwing it on the guy who saw you. I know that many of us ex-Muslims deal in secrecy, and lies of omission and lies of commission to hide our apostasy, but the idea of making up lies about someone else (even if they are a judgmental Muslim type) doesn't sit right with me at all.

    Actually, I could totally drink Guinness and call it Zam-Zam. It's been a lifesaver many a time on a hot and dusty day.

    Quote
    Absinthe (i/ˈæbsɪnθ/ or /ˈæbsænθ/; French: [apsɛ̃t]) is historically described as a distilled, highly alcoholic (45–74% ABV / 90-148 proof) beverage.[1][2][3][4] It is an anise-flavoured spirit derived from botanicals, including the flowers and leaves of Artemisia absinthium (a.k.a. "grand wormwood"), together with green anise, sweet fennel, and other medicinal and culinary herbs. Absinthe traditionally has a natural green colour but may also be colourless. It is commonly referred to in historical literature as "la fée verte" (the green fairy)...

    100% Halal alcohol

    Zam Zam
    Dates
    Blackseed oil
    Honey
    Camel urine (isn't there a hadith that states you can drink urine?)

    The hadeeth referred to by the questioner is a saheeh hadeeth, in which it says that some people came to Madeenah and fell sick. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told them to drink the milk and urine of camels, and they recovered and grew fat. In the story it also says that they apostatized and killed the camel-herder, then the Muslims caught them and executed them. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2855) and Muslim (1671).   http://islamqa.info/en/ref/83423

    What's the worst that happens if you just tell them the truth?

    I'm speaking from some experience in that my siblings (who know that I'm a non-believer btw) found out that I had eaten bacon and confronted me about it. I told them the truth and while they were sour about it for a bit, it hasn't really affected our relationship in any meaningful way.

    So yeah, there is always the option of telling the truth if confronted and just living with a clean conscience. Because after all, you didn't even do anything wrong.  Smiley
