And the kicker is that it wasn't Christians who did it. I could totally see some mexican abuelita with her 5 gorgeous nietas pandering Jesus-juice or compressed sangre del señor for a whiter complexion to people on the street. Christians doing it makes it sacrosanct, non-Christians doing it makes it sacreligious. I love the packaging though, I bet its a matter of weeks before its screened straight on to tees making an even more lucritive business venture for the company who started it.
I honestly want some virtuous vanilla lip balm, no matter how haraam it would be to carry something with the image of a Prophet on it. I'd scratch the part off and see if I feel any more virtuous for having used it.
It reminds of my days haunting the santeria shops with the candles of odd-named saints to help you win the lottery.
You know that Urban Outfitters would sell that stuff!LOL I'd get a kick out of it just for the kitsch factor!LOL So cheesy it's cool... In a wierd way...
I'm somewhere in my 20's, newly married to an Egyptian and learning to navigate the tricky corridor of meshing myself and my life completely into someone else and their life; although it helps immensely that he is the awesomest human being that I ever got a chance to call my own. I'm kind of obsessed with Islam, not in a stuff it down other people's throats way, but in a fuzzy-it-makes-me-happy sort of way, I go a bit nutty for palm trees, and I'm really just trying to figure out how this whole grown up life thing goes. And all in hijab.

Just when you think you've seen everything. It is indeed offensive. Still kinda funny though ;)

I know right! I still, deep down in my heart, still want a shirt that says "Mary is my homegirl".
But I never could or would.
