an unbreakable bond

link given to me by friend, given to her by MESA class:

my favorite part is this paragraph:
"Both religions strongly emphasize family. They tend toward patriarchy, believing in feminine modesty, chastity and virtue. And although Islam discourages dancing involving both sexes, Mormons report that church-sponsored "modesty proms" commonly draw Islamic youths."

Well, that's what it boils down to, folks.
the mormon-muslim bond is one of big, overly-invovled family life, the oppressive patriarchy, and alcohol-free, sex-free, exposed shoulders-free faux-proms.
ilhamdu lillah.
