The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia and I have much in common (when it comes to celebrating birthdays)
Saudi Arabia can always be counted on to put a wet blanket on any party you might be thinking about and last month the Grand Mufti went as far as to ban birthdays. This may seem horrible to some, but I say..."just in time". To those of us who may be turning 50 this year (Madonna are you listening), what a great place to be when that milestone hits.
The Grand Mufti can extinguish all the flames on my birthday cake...we can just pretend it never happened and I put on my burka and go on my way smiling under my veil
because I'll be 49 forever.

LOL this is soooo funny. I am Muslim and I love your sense of humor. If you have any questions about hijab for your abaya post feel free to email me at beduoin_princess@live.ca. I don't celebrate brithdays because the Prophet Mohammed didn't but it is something hard to explain to others in that sense sooooooooooooo I love your comment. I was once told (at nineteen years old by a fifty year old man in Oman) I was getting to old to get married (not so says my YOUNG and HANDSOME husband who married me a few years later)but you could say not having a birthday is a good thing for women with stupid men or dumb advertising companies: D
