Yea same here.

And I really like the way Indian nuns use their saris to resemble a nun's habit

Wait, what? Do you mean to say "we" get bent out of shape when people say it's NOT more than fabric? I must be crazy because I'm a hijabi and I see the hijab as being MUCH more than "just a piece of cloth"

the English language is BUILT of words from other languages. Arabic being one of them.

I agree, good post

Displaced, I'm starting to wish I hadn't wasted a positive rep on you in FPH. It's not just "religious" pepople (by that I assume you are referring to "religious" Muslims in a derogatory way?) that use Arabic words. A (Jewish) professor from Princeton came and spoke at our masjid yesterday and he speaks Arabic fluently and uses Arabic words when describing certain things. What the heck is so odd about it?
