[Finding Peace]

One time when my grandpa came to visit. Him and my mom went for a walk and they were talking in Arabic, my mom was wearing abaya, they stopped at a corner, then this guy (white) came out yelling at them, saying get out of my property and things.

Onetime when my mom went to Costco with my grandpa, they were walking and this guy (white) gave them this ugly look and said "Ugh what are you doing here" my mom said "this isn't your dad's store" but she said it in Arabic he didn't understand.

To put it out there I have nothing against white people and so my family. I'm sorry if I offened you, it was not my intention. We love all mankind. And we don't judge all of a race for what a few said. We've met the good in all races. We all came from one so we are all one. Peace to the world. ☺✌

Dunno about phobia, i've experienced the anti-Islamic ignorance and hatred that the corrupt warmongering politicians whipped up through the docile corrupt media.
The stats were easy to sift since it was about racism until they decided to invade Muslim majority countries, was never about way of life in my father's days, (thatcher and pre-thatcher).Ultimately, there's good in it due to the amount of publicity and consideration it evokes. Racism was just blank.

corrupt warmongering politicians

which politician??

[Abz2000]

Bush, blair, karzai, mahmoud abbas, gordon brown, david cameron, barrak obama, what hole have you been living in?

[ardianto]

Bush, blair, karzai, mahmoud abbas, gordon brown, david cameron, barrak obama, what hole have you been living in?

But when did you met those figures and got personal experience of Islamophobia?.

For those ones we can blame about everything. But why Mahmoud Abbas is on the list? He is Muslim himself. How a Muslim can spread Islamophobia against Muslims? Or Karzai?

[M.I.A.]

Not really no, I have had friends of all ethnic backgrounds and business dealings with all also.

In my personal experience I have had more agro.. Lol.. With people of similar ethnic background than other non minorities.

I have also lived in predominantly non Muslim towns with little trouble.

I'm exactly the opposite of intimidating if that counts towards or against me.

But for the most part I have not wronged anyone or been ignorant of my surroundings which probably accounts for something.. Or at least should do.

I am extremely greatful.

All praise is due to Allah swt..


Although it is very easy to forget sometimes.

..and I do not know what the measure of success is.

If you want to meet Mahmoud Abbas you can go to Jakarta right now. I heard he already arrived, and will attend in OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) conference about Palestine that will be held tomorrow. The conference itself held in Jakarta due to request from Mahmoud Abbas, regarding to brotherhood between Indonesia and Palestine.

[Abz2000]

Oh yeah, and nouri al maliki too.

I don't think most of the people of iraq met bush either, but yes, they felt the Islamophobia too.
And i don't think most people in Germany met hitler personally either.

[sister herb]

I don´t think we could call the western policy as islamophobia. Behind of it are the same elements like every rulers - westerner, "islamic" or some others, like lust for power, getting raw materials cheaply, spreading own country´s political and economical influence etc. Phobia or simply hate isn´t normally any aim to make the international policy.

[SSHorror]

I'm not Muslim but the internet seems to be rife with this. Visit any news article on ISIS or any YouTube video and it's filled with many commentors talking as if every Muslim is a terrorist.

[Scimitar]

But when did you met those figures and got personal experience of Islamophobia?.

Living in London - it happens when you see the papers, the news, the conversations at work...and a whole host of other things.

Thankfully, where I live it's quite diverse and everyone feels like an outcast so yeah it's all good.

It happens quite regularly. I don't look or dress like a Muslim when I go to work so I don't get it much. But when I go out with my Mom who wears a scarf and tradition Muslim clothes, we have had abuse and dodgy looks. Once a bunch of elderly white ladies laid into us giving us the usual Paki and Terrorist rubbish. I came close to retaliating but my Mom said let them spout rubbish for they are wasting their breath. It's not gonna make any difference to me she said.

People at work often come out with some stupid comments because they know I am a Muslim. Quite recently someone's Dad died and she was asking if Muslim men took all the inheritance and left women out of it because that's what she read online. Bless her. Lol.

With regards to Prime Ministers and Presidents being Islamophobic, I think they are. They bring in all these harsh crazy rules for Muslims and everyone else gets away with murder. For instance, if the authorities think you are a terrorist they can storm your house, search and arrest if you are a Muslim. Yet rules like these were never brought in for Irish terrorists from the I R A. Hmmm. Go figure.

I remember this one time a random guy on the street came up to me, making disguisting islamophobic comments. And then tried to hit me with a chair.

[M.I.A.]

I got spat on walking home late at night..

Ended up in a headlock next to a zebra crossing..thankfully me doing the headlocking!

Imma let you go but don't do it again..

Ok.

Both get up and walk off in different directions.

Could have been worse.

Upsetting.

Although I hope it doesn't count against me.
