I look at everyone suspiciously when I ride the metro since I saw the video of an ordinary looking asian man set himself on fire in a crowded train causing others to burn and die. Like why man? there are a lot of crazy people these days.

I am an atheist that grew in a Catholic family, and I never had those prejudices... Especially because I know prejudices are stupid. I have muslim friends, christian friends, atheist friends... What's the problem? We're all humans

I am Christian girl married to a Muslim man and I have to admit that before I met him I was like this too. I thought that all Muslim people (and Arabic people in general) were savages and ruffians. I'm so thankful I met my wonderful husband and made some amazing Muslim/Arabic friends. They really opened my eyes and I am ashamed of how I felt before (I mainly blame the media for this).
Keep up the good work and don't feel bad because of the way people think about you. They just don't know any better.
And one last thing: Girls with Hijab are beautiful !

Do you become a Muslim after your marriage?

Not yet, I know too little about Islam to be a good Muslim v/////v

You'll learn it when you become a Muslim I support you! I'm not a good Muslim yet either ^^ I still have so many flaw and sins. But don't worry, Allah SWT is the Most Merciful after all

Probably considered too low brow by most European moviegoers. Here's the scene I was talking about [link] (FYI Kal Penn, the guy depicted as a terrorist in this scene, is actually a Gujarati-American and is a practicing Hindu)

Haha, girl, I see your point, but relax, it's not only you and it's not only the handscarf that makes people look at you like that.
A lot of people make me feel unconfortable staring at my hair and clothes too.
They just can't understand you're just being yourself.

tuffix In reply to Paups [2010-12-29 13:11:52 +0000 UTC]

Of course, you're right.. it's always annoying, when people stare at you.
However with a scarf... you know.. it's like they burden you with all their prejudices about Muslims, about all they have read and (what they think to) know about Islam. And it feels like they want you to justify yourself for all this stuff.
I know, sometimes I care too much -.- --> [link]

Thanks for faving

I'm going to assume that because of the seat pattern this is in Berlin. Are Berliners already not accustomed to headscarves?

Well, Berlin is big. In some districts people seem to never have seen a scarf in reality..

Velica In reply to tuffix [2010-10-01 21:31:41 +0000 UTC]

Still, I'm sure there are worst places to wear a scarf in Europe. I got the impression that Berlin was fairly open-minded and tolerant.

You're right and I'm glad to live here. However I've got the feeling that discrimination is increasing in Germany. Media is making a good job..

Being in an Islamic country is better . You dont have to worry much.. not wait , you dont have to worry at all . I wear a Burqa or just a scarf when I go out . Hang in there my seestah's ! Allah will resolve your problems inshallah

tuffix In reply to Yadids [2010-09-24 07:45:25 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately not every islamic country is the best solution. Here in Germany I'm more free to life my religion than in my homeland.. -.-
You know, it's not that worse in Germany, there are just some small things, like having more problems with finding a job then a German - however it isn't impossible in no way!
But alhamdulillah that you're able to be totally free.

Actually I think sometimes there are more muslims suffering (really suffering) in islamic countries, which is much more sad . The prolems we've got here are just annoying not painful up to now, walhamdulillah. So may Allah be with the muslims all over the world.
