Thank you Inception, that's lovely of you to say.

You've bought back some memories here. My intro got overtaken by an argument about circumcision. How rude. And I wasn't half given some stick on my first day here. I'm not saying I didn't deserve it though.

Thanks for digging this out. I think. And age doesn't define me, I won't let it. ~~i have to believe a little more as each year passes~~

Lol I was kidding. 34 is not too old

I skimmed through the posts and summarizing, you are married to a muslim woman and have a son who's been circumcised.
Well I dont really know what to say about that matter, because a lot has already been discussed.

So now he is 5? Wow
I hope that when he grows up, you will let him make his own decisions and please dont let your wife make of him a religious fanatic. I know she is a good woman tolerating a man like you, but let your son choose for himself.
Ah and I always like quoting this poem all the time. Show it to your wife.

Quote
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

You are 38 now! Lol my maths

He's five next week in fact. Lovely boy. And great advice Inception, and a lovely, lovely poem. I will show her that, to influence her
hopefully.

She tolerates me less as reach day passes Inception. But I will look after my son. He has the devil in his eye, like his dad. I can see that already

I know. We spoke on my other dramatic thread... the one where I was desperately wanting to return to Allah. Anything to fix the mess.

Welcome musivore.

Damn, asbie/Inception beat me to it.

My mind runs, I can never catch it even if I get a head start.

Thanks for bringing back the memories Q.

Looking back now, this forum has been so good for me. I really was alone in some ways, in the years that preceded me bumping into this site. Since then, this is where I always come to when I need somewhere to scream. It has an endless replenishing supply of members, who mostly all seem wonderful, supportive, humorous and mightily helpful to those of us that occasionally need it.

Yes we really do but for that I'm a convert/revert and you were born into it there are many parallels. Sorry for being so negative on your B's interview, I didn't realise that it was really you.

That's ok, I was being cryptic about it all. I realised later I should have just said, hey, this is me. An honest opinion towards someone anonymous, is probably better than what you world have said had you known it was me?

True, you got an honest response but don't worry part of it just hits home with my own story which I'm sure some would find depressing, not to mention losing contact with most of my close friends, intentionally or otherwise=0 social life and constant hang ups about my decision to convert/pretend to convert. Cry me a river.
I'm sure if I'd never converted I'd be far less worried about openly critising Islam that said I might be far less interested in doing so, up to the point of meeting my wife Islam played a virtually non existent role in my life.
