People like to identify wid successes and accomplishments. We don't have anything in our recent past or present that we would proudly like to identify with.

Thanks so very much for lending me your ears! It'ld be my pleasure to coach young Muslims to correct understanding of the religion - balanced and far from any extremism.

Good deeds cancel out bad ones. It all depends on the nature and magnitude of mad ones. SOme bad deeds don't get wiped out. Be more specific in your question if can be.

Omar RA says about himself that he was an abused child. His father made him work hard labor and so did his aunts and uncles with little and seldom rewards.

LiL_Dolly, I wanna give my children the pure Islam so they will attach to its sources. In present day situation it is needed. In the time you were growing up, in 80's (I don't know how old you are) Desi parents in US were busy raising children as Desi Americans. Objective was to build a religious safety net around children who valued rituals and performed physical actions of prayers and suffered hunger & thirst in Ramadhan but it never was captured in their hearts. This was to prevent children from melting in the pot.

Hey that's the advantage of being raised in the west. You can be straight and direct in this society. What you don't want is any confrontation. Present your concern and hurt to her in confidence. Such that she feels important just the way she likes it.
The hadeeth is about not talking to one another for more than three days. That doesn't mean it can happen only once in a life time with the same person.
I am not suggesting to sever relations or to stop seeing her. All I am suggesting is that you don't play a role in making her the center of interest.
