she doesn't see the problem. she feels that she has made hijra, whether unintentionally or not. she doesn't want to return to the land of the kufar, if she can avoid it. i think that because she says it's OK to take a 2nd wife that she is in the clear so to speak.
most people around seem to AGREE with her! they DO admit that what she is doing is wrong, but they say Yemen IS better than here and IF you want a 2nd wife, just get one.
i guess i'm like, if my wife wants to come back and CHOOSE the 2nd wife, then she can go back after that. not really but..
i should have seen this coming when she tried to get this other woman to move in with us.
but i was too embarrassed when she explained what she meant.
we have no kids together, mine are from the 70s. IF i divorce her, it seems like i would be saying that she has wronged me in some way, which is NOT her intention. the weather there would be better for my lungs and i reckon it would be easier for me to learn Arabic there.
the only problem is that i am working on a few presentations about the Bible and Christianity that will enable, In Sha'a Allah, many more Muslims to show "what's wrong with the Bible" without getting all Ahmed Deedat [may Allah have mercy in him] on them. i've shown a few Muslims already and they were astounded. one had bought a Bible when he heard me explain some things. i took the bible that he had showed him, "look, it says right here, here and here that it has been changed!" we don't have to argue, we show what there own book says about their book! i want to get it down to 3 different 1 hour presentations so that i can put it on dvd. 1 on changes, the 2nd on a few MAJOR contradictions [not numbers] and the last a bit more involved showing that Islam is actually OLDER than MOST of the current forms of Christianity!
IF i get THAT done then, In Sha'a Allah, i'm ready to leave. who knows, maybe i could teach it as a course. but, i would like me wife in the mean time.
