Putting the Veil back on and turn back to being Pesco-Pollo/Semi Vegetarian

 As Salaamu Aliakum

Yes the above is yours truly... For a long period of time I wore the Niqab (veil) for no other reason but for my faith and my love for it.

I have a HUGE collection the two above are two piece niqab.

Why do I enjoy wearing something that covers my face?

I know alot of people muslim and non always wonder this... like why would some women in Islam do this...and because of not know people tend to look at it as a bad thing or degrading women... But in truth it's the opposite...

Well because being covered like this- I am treated with more respect oppose to not having it on... I don't feel like I'm in competition with other women... Nor do I have the need to want to look "Cute" according to western society of beauty...

Do I go out in public like this?

Yes.. People gaze.. Surpisingly women talk mad ish about it... but men are amused by my veil...

One day I was out with my friend. And this woman start talking ish about my niqab... "I don't know why they put that thing on their face and blah blah blah" Her male companion said " I dont know either but I can say one thing - they have some beautiful eyes"

He said this as a float pass them..The women kept quiet- pretty much he shut her up.

Maybe it's the unknown... that either scare someone or interest someone when it comes to they veil.

PESCO-,POLLO-, AND SEMI-VEGETARIANISM

In the Church of Veggie, these are the Unitarians. Pesco-vegetarians eat fish (because fish don't have sophisticated nervous systems). Pollo-vegetarians eat chicken (because, well, they just like chicken). The newest phylum is the semi-, for people who frequently but not systematically avoid meat and dairy. These three forms may represent a healthy diet, but they are not, strictly speaking, vegetarian.

My one of my best friend is a vegetarian but she sometimes eat fish- I tease her and call her Pesco- Vegetarian... LOL she hates that.

Hardcore vegetarians don't consider either or recognize these types of vegetarian But Peta does... LOL

I could careless what a vegan or vegetarain think or say about what I put in my mouth.

Anywho- I don't believe eating animals are wrong... According to my faith Pig, Dogs, horses, carnivous anmals, lizards reptiles, (any animale that does't have split hooves) are forbidden to eat. Halal or Kosher is key- Basically as long as the food is prepared in these to fashion all is good for me to eat.

But with that said- Muslims shouldn't go buck wild on a steak. Even the Prophets (As) Including Jesus had a some what semi vegetarian diet. So to follow in their foot steps I'm reverting back to my old eating habits.,... My parents used to buy chicken and fish just for me while everyone else eat red meat...

What made me stop? Simple I had low iron- due to not eating red meat and I don't take multi vitamens. So it was either swallow horse pills for my health or add red meat to my diet. i tried the horse pills but I can't stand taking them... YUK so I added red meat to my diet.

But I now found a multi vitamin that's a gum... I can chew that... LOL
