hosting live meeting

Is it necessary to tell my future homestay family I’m Muslim?
Assalamu alaykum wr wb
I’m thinking of going to Quebec this summer to improve my French and I will be staying with a host family there. Do you think I will experience prejudice from them because of my Muslim faith? It’s not always necessary to mention my religion to non-Muslims I meet, but since I’ll be living with a host family for some time, do you think it’s better to inform them? Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Yes. You absolutely have to tell them.
In some cases, I would say it’s not that important. But I’m French Canadian. We put pork in everything. EVERYTHING. Even fruit pies will have lard in the crust, lard made with pork. You have to tell them well in advance so they can straighten up the food situation.
(note: I no longer put pork in anything.)
It’s possible they will have a problem with you being Muslim, but it’s just as likely they won’t care. It kinda depends on where you go, too. Montreal has a lot of Lebanese and North African Muslims (due to the language) so you wouldn’t really be out of place there. But if you’re in a very small town it could be different.
Mashallah on you for working on a second (third?) language. Inshallah you will enjoy Quebec, it’s a nice province, very pretty. Have a great time.

Best Drupal Web Hosting Company?
Hi,
I have decided to go with Drupal as a CMS and website builder. I want to know which is the best company (I am not looking for general referral links, or how cheap it is, or how good the overall customer service is) in terms of support for Drupal (installation, upgrades, customer service for drupal questions, drupal theme management etc.,).
I am evaluating site5, dreamhost and siteground. Which is the best among these. Any other that you recommend.
Thanks,
Ajay.
I use Dreamhost and don’t have enough good things to say about them. I consider them the best LAMP-based hosting company, period.

It’s been happening constantly for the last few weeks. Every time I start my computer to go to my desktop it says that it was my desktop was missing so i have to restart a few times just to get to my desktop and then that message would pop up. I don’t know what to do. I have an Inspiron 530.
