I got the impression that somebody might think that I was merely being harsh on my opinion in the previous entry. I am in no position is saying that the Muslims are a bad lot and Muslims culture and tradition is all bad. What I meant to say was that since Islam is given to us, the human kind as a nur or deen that supposed to transcend time and geographical differences, we should try to seek what the true teaching of Islam is and differentiate between whether what we practice is culturally oriented or the true teaching of Islam. Anyhow, I am just a lowly person who makes mistakes. Forgive me if my thoughts offend anyone...
