mehreenkasana: Finally. A photograph that does not adhere to conventional methods of portraying a Muslim couple as emotionless, hollow, sadistic beings from a far away land. This is love right here. This is a normal Muslim couple. How hard is it for some folks to understand that, yes, a Muslim husband and wife enjoy intimate moments together? Why can’t people share more of these images? Damn it. I remember when I reblogged this; it had -100 notes. 8000+ now. Which is an achievement in itself because it went out to people who initially saw Muslim couples as people devoid of love. Thank you, everyone.
"The idea of the noble savage is that primitive things are better. So African drums are better than Beethoven. Which may have something to it, until you hear too much rap music, and then you think primitive things should be banned."
