    <title>&quot;wari, faith and islam&quot; (by oscar siagian)</title>
    <link>http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/contact_sheet/31023</link>
    <description>Al-Fattah is central to deepen and studied religion for transvestites (waria), transvestites are still praying, reading the Koran, and prayed together. Those who feel comfortable using gloves and a hat, please wear it. Those who feel comfortable using mukena not also be questioned.
 
The transvestites are still firmly embraced his religion. This center is the choice for them to get closer to God. The transvestites seem to continue to feel confident, God still loves them, give grace to them, and still promises paradise for those who work well and threatened with hell for those who are working poor. Just like always promised to all followers of His religion. They do not care how their presence is wasted by the same religion, how its existence is rejected by their brethren.
