I'm really into nature type things. Like, taking a handguide and foraging for foods/medicinal plants. Rockhounding is fun. 🍃 Friendly. I used go kayaking before I became a mom. Also used to enjoy local festivals. I'm kinda just a homebody now tho sadly..

I am not from the UK - my family has lived in this country for almost 400 years

She went to an American School in Iran - participated in a Christmas play as a child - and had to leave the country after the Islamic Revolution because her father worked for the previous government

Most Muslims aren’t the sort of religious zealots typically portrayed in our country - just like most Christians arent the White Christian Nationalists trying to become the American version of the Taliban

Do you even research the folks in office?

Doesn't matter. You're from the UK, one doesn't just shed being a muslin. It's not just a religion, it's a culture. (With various types of it depending on the region)

Muslin upbringing deeply shapes your worldview and one doesn't just turn on or off how they were raised by their families and their traditions and cultures. I'm not saying this a pejorative either.

That only happens in the West, and even then...

Same thing happened at the indoor garage sale they had. Kinda makes you wonder if they're there for every show and know each other.
