It is because of this action towards women, that many…

Furthermore, one’s own religion should stop a person from committing a sin. In every religion, having sex before marriage is considered as a sin. God created sex to be in a holy matrimony, not out of the constitution of marriage.

Because of this, Patten seeks to address and breakdown the differentiating components in one’s own racial identification. The…

Here’s some shocking news; I’m Muslim. Most people do not expect to hear that I associate with the religion of Islam because what they see is a tall, white girl with red hair and green eyes who would walk outside in a sports bra and shorts.

Being Bosnian, there is an even greater emphasis on being proud to practice Islam due to the attempt to ethnically cleanse Bosnia of…
