Islam in South Africa is the most diluted form of Islam anywhere. If you want to see a "melting pot" where people really lose their identity and become something else, go to South Africa. 100 years of apartheid did a number in that in place.

Tell me why a second generation Pakistani had no concept of pakistan, his ethnic identity, his heritage and even his faith. Name was all focked up pronunciation and his ethnic comprehension was limited to being "colored" and he seemed lost as hell when I said where are you from originally and this was a 40+ year old man.

Sheekada meeshay marayso markaan ogaaday aayar baan shib iska iri. Multiply that experience to the rest of the Muslims I met there and you know what is up.

I had the pleasure of being in Capetown during eid and incidentally happened to be in one of the major malls. It was completely taken over by Muslims...mom, dad, kids, grannie, granpa all dancing to a concert by an Afrikaan singer.
I tell ya, it's an experience.
