Muslim chick peas, lupin seeds, and Sudanese nuts vs. OZ ’Vegemite’
Genealogist Herald Sun – Saturday, January 6, 2007 – Page 23
Title; where is my real home? – www.heraldsun.com.au
Black Muslim Mum is not happy because her little boy is in love with Australian Vegemite.
Souzan Mohamed chooses country that is not suitable for her, but only for her little five years old sun Alsamandal who wants to be in future a ‘Hot Wheels'driver.
Now that she is enjoying her life here in Australia she doesn’t know where she belongs and where she does call her home. She is a black Muslim, and flexible woman.
Being born from the North Sudan and speak Arabic. Before she arrived to Australia she was living for 18 month in Egypt, where Alsamandal was born. Australia was chosen to live because they considered is safe.
This flexible Muslim family is living now in Melbourne for the last four years and her partner Ateif, a theatre director is in Sudan for a brief staying, due to illness of his father.
She is grateful to Australia giving her young family the opportunity, but she feels lonely most of the time. (Perhaps due to her partner’s absence)
In Australia everyone is busy, and if you want to visit someone you have to call first. But in her country you can just visit anyone at any time.
She also learnt that people here don’t hug and kiss as much, and only a single ‘Hi’ from distance. She took her son back to Sudan couple of times, but he doesn’t want to go back there again. (Sure there they don’t have vegemite tad)
Don’t blame boy for this Mum, he is now more Aussie than you are, he eats Vegemite.
When boy was with Mum in Sudan he didn’t even want to cross the road due to traffic with cars, donkey, goats, camels, goats, monkeys and pedestrians.
Finally this little tad will be growing up as an Aussie, and Mum is now in chaos. She admires the equality of Australian society, but Sudan is male dominated.
Souzan has an arts degree from Khartoum University and has just completed a Diploma in community development at the Victoria University at TAFE.
She also has to make a decision what language to use at home, her parents’ language is Nubia, or Arabic and here English. :bongo:
Your son is attending a school with English literacy, and it would be a very prompt suggestion that you use at home English language, to help him with his reading and home work, and you will also be able to improve your English at the same time.
This Muslim Mum, as I have mentioned earlier is very flexible, and she would perhaps be of good help to the others that are hiding behind ‘Burkah,’ and that will save as a lot of troubles here in Australia.
Souzan is in contact with her parents once per week, which is a very good manner, but it is too late know to think back what is over there and behind you. You should look ahead of you here in Australia, and this is what you should call your home. You sleep here, you eat here and educating yourself and your son. You are not lonely you have your little family, respect this land, not all people here were born with ‘Silver spoon,’ try to read Australian History perhaps this will give you even better understanding of this land. “This is now your home sweet home.”
I’m sure that your story from your native land is not sweet, try to put it down in writing. The more you complain about Australia, the less you will accept, and your son one day will stand up against you for that. You can’t hide your skin colour, or your religion, but people from your country are not flexible enough to get themselves into community circle and to work together with white Christians, that are much longer here that people from Sudan or Somalia. You have to adapt Australia as your second home at least.
World can never be the same, religions will never be the same, but the leaders in the world are to blame for most of it. People are also to blame as much as political and religious leaders, just look in the last few days what Islamic people are doing around here in Melbourne, in fact since they came here, and are constantly looking for trouble instead to have respect for the Australian Government, that gave them opportunity to join the circle of freedom and democracy.
Do not be critical of this country, I don’t like that, I don’t want that, this is good and that is not good. Wait for years to come, and than you can judge perhaps with more understanding and bigger respect.:clap:
