Of cultural clothing,I have one kurta shalwar, and one palekat (malay garment). I like m'pants. I like 'em good. The family I live with, yes are methodist Owl. These are people who I would call good, perhaps even true, practitioners of Christianity. They're good to their neighbors, they help out massively in the community, they give generously, they're always always helpful to family <i>and</i> strangers who need a place to live (such as me). They share their food with me, they share their laughs with me and most importantly, don't judge me or stereotype me. I'm apparently the 3rd muslim to live here. That's why I love Islam even more. Because only Allah knows what will be the final reward for such people, rather then a definite hell for not accepting a faith. Actually, I’m always dressed in khakis and what nots, rarely in jeans.

I get the understanding that you, your sister, perhaps brothers (?) and father are muslims. Please clear up this ignorance of mine. jaza kala khair. =) If I may ask, is your mother the only immediate family member who is not Muslim?
