[QUOTE]Originally posted by 7aya: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tigerlily: [b] 7aya, didn't you ever wonder why Egyptian Muslim women don't have that sign from praying too? Isn't it kind of strange that it seems to be gender related? And logically does it mean that these women don't pray that often and don't have such a close bond to God? Good question in my opinion. By the way the bible also forbids tattooing. But the Copts in Egypt don't want to blend in with the majority of Muslims and proudly show of their own believes. [This message has been edited by Tigerlily (edited 08 September 2005).][/b][/QUOTE] you know tigerlily you have lived in egypt for three years, and you have lots of good information and accurate opinions. but sometimes like now you say wrong things, and there is nothing wrong with it, you are not expected to know every little detail about the egyptian and muslim culture. but to be quiet honest i'm starting to get insulted here, i'm egyptian and muslim have lived her all my life and i'm trying to explain to you and you don't want to listen. further, this is not one of this things that you can have an opinion about. its not like we are arguing about islam, or the cold war, and you feel like you have a differnt opinion. this is a fact, just like the night is black is a fact, and sun is bright is a fact. now listen to me, i will try to explain this again. when people prostrate, this area in the forehead dries and then darkens. especially as troubles said if the floor is really rough.not every men gets it. my brother has been praying for ten years and doesnt have it. on the other hand i have a friend at work who only started praying a month ago, and he has it on his forhead. my dad gets it but he hates it, so he puts cream to make it go away. how big and dark it is depends on the skin type. your theory that its a tatoo because women don't get it, is also wrong. women have a different skin type than men. although i do sometimes get dryness in that area, and have to apply cream. now there is no way in hell what you are saying is true, because i live with those people. seriously i would know if its a tatoo. unless these men have some secret tatooing society, and go out at midnight to get their forhead, done, and none of the women have discovered this secret for the past 1400 years. i hope you understand now [/QB][/QUOTE]
