I was having an intellectual discussion the other day in the park with this man my husband and I know from a previous encounter. He is basically a Christian who researches a lot about other religions and so we were having a form of debate I suppose you could say. My friend's husband saw this and later started yelling at her about how awful her friend (me) is that I was talking to a man other than my husband and that this is was just awful. OK, as a Westerner this totally infuriated me because I know if I were in his country I would respect the culture there as much as possible. But he was being a real jerk and going by his cultural views here. As a Muslim I know that according to my religion I did absolutely nothing wrong. And that is all that matters to me. I could care less what others think of me. My own husband was mad simply because another Muslim brother saw me like this and was so afraid I would tarnish our reputation! I don't live for others! I live for myself!
