Being judged for what you believe in is hard.
Hang in there

.
im a christion and i feel u... not all muslims are terrorist and likes people to suffer..ive meet filipino-muslims they help others and gave food to strangers..they talk with christians and laughing unlike others... so people dont generalize it, some muslims are good but some are not just like not all christians are good.

thank you so much :)

thanks a lot my friend , i hope that all people in this world read what i wrote cause only god knows that muslim terrorists over the world are not real muslims , they just use islam to make people hate it and hate muslims :(

No problem.

:)

I feel you..
I have muslim friends and loved one. Our beliefs are not barriers to get to know more of our different cultures.
Peace be upon you!

thanks a lot my sister
peace be upon you :)

i can not describe what your words could make to my heart and my soul , thank you very much my friend , nice having you here :)

I have known for a long time that the images of bomb-throwing , sexist people heavily displayed in the media are not the full representation of who ALL muslims are.

I am Christian in my beliefs, but on my island of Trinidad, i have had the pleasure of being taught secularly by a number of Muslims , studied secularly with them at school, celebrated with them at their ceremonies/festivals , dined with them at their homes ,played with their kids and interacted with their family and friends for decades.

I have also been extremely close friends with a devoted hijab -wearing East Indian woman since high school till today . I have intimately witnessed her and her family' life and the practice of her religion over the last 25 years. What I experienced personally are people who are sincere , tolerent , equal partners in marriage and child rearing, and gracious and peaceful in nature and this is not uncommon in my country

The majority of people who hold the view that all Muslims are terrorists have based it on the 9/11 attack on America ,as well as very strategic images heavily displayed in the media and things they have read. These violent images and experiences are valid , evil and INEXCUSABLE, but they are not the full representation of who all muslims are... anymore than the Hitlers, land pillagers, slave masters ,and perpetrators of Apartheid are the full representation of who ALL Caucasians are.

Thank you so much for sharing

Hi Peggy,

What you wrote here touched me. I am a Muslim.
I was brought up in Singapore where my neighbours and friends are Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasion. We are of different races and religions but we live in harmony.
Thank you so much.

it's not just the 19 terrorists that killed 3000 people on 9-11, it's the thousands of terrorists worldwide that are still killing and causing problems everywhere since then... if you're locked in a room with 10 people and you know 2 of them are going to kill someone in the room, are you going to trust everyone in the room?

trust is researched and earned, not given because everyone in the room says it isn't them...

You are welcome Bahitieva.
There are possibly millions more decent muslims like you , and the ones we have interacted with in our countries, but society may never discover it because of the fear that a sub-group of people have created. Sad to say, but the hate against muslims is not likely to go away any time soon because the acts of Muslim extremists continually distort the perception of the muslim majority. Just like as a black woman , I will always be classified as crude, tacky and promiscuous by some parts of society because of the images that some of my people have projected on reality tv , social media etc And most white policemen will be labelled as racist because of emeging images of police brutality caught on phone footage. And all people from certain parts of the world will be labelled as scammers by the people in chatrooms because of the prevalant offenders.

Entire groups of people will always be condemned because of the destructive acts of SOME reprobates.Its just the way society works.

The act of generalising any group as all good or all bad is unbalanced , dishonest and destructive. All we can do is be a shining light for the group we belong to and refrain from the destructive act of generalising others.

to be honest , my english is not excellent to understand all of what you wrote and google is not great helper for me , but as i could understood , you are very well educated person and it is really my pleasure to that you reply one a thing i posted :) thank you :)

trust me terrorism is terrorism whatever its religion is , and if all countries not unite together agains it , it will occupate the whole world no except

what you wrote and what she wrote touched me too , thank u very much my friends :)

Welcome to Mingle...

As far as judging someone..
Don't we all do that in some way.
I could stand up and say I don't but that would be a lie.

I do instead try to judge each person with an open mind on their own merits. Sometimes I will admit that is hard to do.

i agree, it's a hard time for muslims right now.. but who is to really blame, muslims or everyone else? scared and pissed off people don't care about who the nice people are, after all, out 1.6 billion muslims, it only took 19 to kill 3000 people in less than an hour, only one runs into a shopping mall and kills 30 people... everyone knows not all muslims are bad, but the nice ones are not what people are worried about... i deal with all sorts of different types of muslims during the day, all of them seem very nice and polite... but like i said, it only takes one bad apple to ruin the barrel...

i appreciate every single word you just wrote , nice having you here :)
