Letter to Julia 20121213

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hi again, my Julia!  Kiss kiss!  Thank you for your love.  I love you!  How are you feeling today?  I just had some "nasi lemak" and "laksa" over at Ina's restaurant, so I'm stuffed.  You must be fascinated with the local cuisine here, and you may have learned a few tricks and recipes.  I want you to master German cuisine.  The local food is everywhere here, well because it's local.  But I want halal sausage, cooked in sauerkraut!  I want you to teach our children and me German, I want our children to be trilingual.

I'm sorry to bore you with talk about Shadowplay music, and an old man's memories.  But I'm sure that you can see that now is not the time for me to talk a lot about the fashion business.  This is your time to blow the fashion scene to pieces, and be the fashion mogul.  It's your turn to shine in the business you've worked so hard in.  I am here to love you, and marry you.  Remember the goal of our marriage, is to make them come to us, so we can slow down and stay put, and enjoy our family together. 

Maybe you want to be nice and all that, but just don't be too nice to your enemies.  And it may be that Allah may grant love between you and those you hold as enemies, for Allah has power, and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.  Allah only forbids you with regard to those who fight you for your faith, and drive you out of your home, and support in driving you out, from turning to them in friendship.  And remember, there are the completely lost souls, on whom is the Wrath of Allah, and they are in despair of the hereafter.  Keep away from them.
