Just because, where I live, most -say 99%- muslims
are from abroad -probably they are from Morocco,
Algeria, Lebanon, Iraq, Bangladesh, Pakistan...
Just because of that, spanish muslims are quite a
strange thing. In fact, the right wing (politically
speaking) is openly islamophobic; and the "left"
wing is openly anti catholic (due to this country´s
recent history...), and -call it cause&effect- agnostic
or just atheist...
Here we had our own dose of 9/11 in 3/11, probably
everybody knows...

So the picture is this: there is nobody I could really
talk to about my faith, about my feelings, about the
changes happenning within myself.
My iman is isolated. I can´t go beyond routine in
relationship with muslims, because of language barriers,
or cultural barriers.
I ask in my prayers to Allah to empower my faith.
Don´t know what to do.
This is just a quick view into an issue far more complicated to me...
