:arrow: mine

[Sakinah]

you should have just a made a poll, Moby.

[springOnion]

mine is vegetable....

ok. thats a really really really bad joke, but i'm in a mood. be thankful you're not sitting next to me.

my ancestral heritage includes:
nubian, turkish, morrocan and egyptian. those we know for sure.

but that is only 4 out of 8 great grandparents. we don't know for sure where the others are from, although we have real suspitions they include roman.

so we go back to the really bad joke and determine that its really vegetable soup.

i kill myself with bad jokes

[ZUZU]

My parents are from Lebanon so that makes my background lebanese.

Although my family did not originate from an arab country which I find interesting because I always thought that they did. My uncle was doing a family tree and trying to trace our roots and he ended up in France! However my aunty claims that she is 110% sure that we originated from Montenegro which is near Serbia. Hmmm...

Well that's a lil of my family history for ya.

[naphez_c]

Well im arab!! Lebanese!! However

My dads side is known that his mum family (ancestors) came from persia and dads side came from the caucus

[GreenOz]

my parents were born in Palestine, their parents were born in palestine and their parents were also born in palestine, and that carries on for generations....................also, my parents are first cousins, their parents are first cousins and their parents parents are first cousins, and that trend most probably continues further up the previous history...........

I will break that trend

[umm layla]

well both parents were born in lebanon, so thats another leb on this forum. even though i was born here and have never visited lebanon i still consider my self as leb.

[GreenOz]

I am more Australian than I am Palestinian, but neither these two identities really dictate my identity, as being Muslim is what I am as i can live in an igloo in Antartica, or in a cave in the himalayas, at the end of the day its my islam that makes me essentially me as all land is Allahs' place and extreme nationalism is not Islamic.

Peace

[Blessing]

my grandparents from my mum's side are greek who migrated to lebanon and my dad is lebanese so that kind of makes me half greek!

but i like to just make it easy for myself and say im Lebanese!!

I'm total opposite to umm layla, I was born here and even though I've been back to India and Pakistan a couple of times, I would still identify myself as an Aussie, especially when the cricket's on.

Im in the same as umm layla!!! and im ARAB!! and MUSLIM!!!!!!!!!

[Wolf]

Culturally I'm australian 8)

[Sakinah]

HananD, similarly to you, my grandparents are cousins and my parents are cousins. Its good to break tradition

[islam4life]

[La`Dee]

Assalaamu 3alakom,
Im an Aussie :-D Born here, always been here :-D

But yeah My Dad is Palestinian, and so are my Grandparents.. and theirs and theirs etc.. and yeah my Great Grandma was Jewish. . . note "was" she reverted alhumdulilah

And as for mUmMy, she's Lebanese, born there etc and so are my Grandparents from that side :-D so that makes me Aussie.. but Palonese or Lebastinian :eh:

Unless U're related to Sakinah, U forgot to tell us about yours, Sis?

Anyway folks, I wasn’t born here, but I’m not even there so import/export is N/A here

Identity/(imaginary)belonging has always been a problematic issue for me (nothing 'personal' I’m just so allergic to it ) so culturally, politically, psychologically, ethnically, linguistically, I seem to be all over the place, … but like some one has indicated that ‘our’ Muslimness is an overriding (identifying) factor B) , therefore it's more constructive to be engaged in an in-depth decoding of the historico-religious construction of our hybrid multi(racial)cultural IDs than counting our (parents') "former" homeland neighbours now residing here

Speaking of hyphenated-Identities, heart vs 'offical paper' belonging, 'international' rejections, and cultural difference, check out this interesting paper presented @ an international conference in London back in 1998, discussing 'Muslim Identity in the 21st century'.

It’s a critical examination of our totalised ( and tokenised) 'Muslim IDs', and it seeks to deconstruct our ‘suitcase’ identities on the planet of Wogdom ... Ooops I mean the global village.

Enjoy ...

Ma' Salama, Cya, cio, Allah Hafiz ...
