Was just thinking this morning after fajr, I've met so many UK people and so far they all were so arrogant almost if they better people, lots of pride.

Then I join these "Islamic forums" and realized that they not arrogant they just ignorant.

Taqwa doesn't mean u live in the UK, and knowledge is part of taqwa.

That's because we all take a special class called: 'How To Act Terribly Snobby When You Meet Judgmental People'.

Bro, don't tell me you have made this assumption based on your experiences in the polygamy thread? It is the type of subject which will receive pretty strong responses - and it just happens to be many members here are British.

But yes, many people misunderstand us Brits - they think we're bring snobbish when really it is the 'stiff upper lip' attribute we all have in order to survive. ;)

Lol, no not just about polygamy.

General experiences, meetings, on the net, all over. Even the people that come here to study, very arrogant. I don't know why.

oh ALLAH, please guide us and the ummah, ameen

They have to take a test called "life in the uk" where they learn how the queen wants them to be, blame the british government.

UK Muslim, I saw some jews in tesco.. First thing I thought..

Israel, what's that about?

..I have no idea what they thought of me.

Yes I am ignorant and yes the gaps in my knowledge are like the oceans..

To me the caliphate and zionistic state seem equally abhorrent..

So I make do with my snobbyness and ignorance.. And develope a tolerance for all things different.

Strange days.. But it's not my fault.

Lol i know i was born there, i just wanted to join the fun in this exciting thread. :)


Also wanted to add that they also become zombies after taking the test and become enchanted with the queen, and they eat ice as a staple diet, that's why they're so cold hearted.

Edit: and snow for desert btw.

Welcome to the forum. Hope you encounter friendlier Brits, or that they make a better impression on you moving forward :)

Lol, well eating snow and ice is something I've always done - and it must be taken into account Brits live in a small little island in the middle of the sea, there has to be a certain cold-hearted image if they don't want to be walked all over.

But it rains so often.... lol! You know all those tourist brochures for the UK? All the photos in them with glorious sunshine used to be taken on the 3 days in high summer where it doesn't rain. Nowadays, they are just Photoshopped. ;D

Lol, check the post below urs quoted above,

Yeah man even the Brits agree that they cold hearted, its strange though, the cold heartedness seems to work between themselves.

Brothers and sisters from all over the world, i started this thread, but one of the reasons is that lets leave nationalism and lets just be Muslims. There is no superiority except through taqwa.

Yes, ma'sha'Allah the weather is beautiful and sunny here (so I'm in a good mood atm :)).

And one of the many beautiful facets of Islam is that it has erased all national and ethnic divisions, we are all brothers and sisters of one another whatever our background may be, Alhamdulillah.

Some people are genuine snobs. Some aren't. You just have to deal with it.

You can't really say someone is a snob unless you actually know them.

People think I am a snob at work because I won't sit and idly gossip with them. I've found the Muslim colleagues to be nastiest. Non Muslim colleagues don't seem to care one way or another.

I am not a snob though. I have too much going on in my life to sit and mingle with people I don't really have anything in common with.

Assalaamu alaikum Abu Muslim,


(smile) I'm curious... where are you from? And have you visited the UK?

I do know that Brits seem cold to some ethnicities who are more overtly demonstrative. But they are just as caring (or not) as anyone else. They just express themselves differently. As for arrogance... (smile) perhaps what you are noting is reserve?


May Allah, the One, Help us to understand one another.

Arrogant people are arrogant people. Period. They exist everywhere. Have you met Spaniards snobs? Venezuelan snobs? Kuwaiti snobs? Indian snobs? They are everywhere. But there are also nice people and sweet and kind. There are also majorly and I mean majorly religious Muslims who go to the masjid, pray, carry around prayer beads, recite the Quran and they are snobby and rude and just horrible people. They are all humans. But we know not what goes on in each heart, in each mind, or whether that person is generally nice all of the time and then the day that you met them, they had the worst day of their lives and ended up looking snobby and arrogant. [emoji39]

Also lets give everyone at least 70 excuses for the mistakes they make and then... More excuses. If our judgement was permanent, اللهُ have mercy on us because no one is perfect and we are all snobs, arrogant and rude. Allah sees all that we do, knows what we think and still has mercy on us!!!!

Eh? I thought the Royal Family are supposed to be reptilians from outer space who control us all and keep David Icke solvent?

Nah, you're thinking of black pudding.

Correction: Shape-shifting reptilians (according to icke i think).
Lol the dracula part was true though, jus' google prince charles vlad dracul transilvania.

I think slush puppies go well given the diet of snow and ice.

Anyways....this thread's getting boring, not enough mud slinging, i'll go down the hallway and look for pygo, he must have something exciting to say.

Love it when people make an assumption on the whole population by getting to know a couple of people! It's BRILLIANT!
