Yeah, I've had that happen too. My mom has met a few of my old school chums in my home town, and I always feel weird when she tells me about them. Part of it for me is that I feel that I have become persona non grata for leaving my old religion. |

aww. theres no point in adding them if that may be their reaction. 
however, u could use it as an opportunity to dispel negative images of islam. they might just see you and think 'islam appeals to regular people, and hey he's still pretty normal..maybe it isnt this extreamsit faith i thought it was......  ''
u know?
if you're secure and happy with yourself, no on elses negative opinions can hurt you. |

Re: Facebook Thread
There's a "Ramadan 2008" event, and I RSVP saying that I was attending. I sent invites to all my Muslim friends on facebook. Currently, there's like 6 Muslim friends who say they are not attending Ramadan.

But why? This event tells you exactly when Ramadan is, I think?

No one knows when Ramadan exactly is until the New Moon is sighted for the Month of Ramadan.

To which case the creator of the event sends a notification to everyone saying the date has changed.
