Exactly. It is a proven fact that there are predators out there, some even pose as Muslims... and they often prey on the young.

I remember when I lived in Amsterdam, I was called by one guy who said, "I know your Muslim, Can you help me? I need a haircut". I found it very very strange as there was nothing about my appearance that said 'Im a Muslim'.

The guy was homeless and he was a Muslim too, From Somalia, I took him to the place i was staying and gave him the haircut he needed, then let him sleep for a while, gave him food and let him listen to some Bob Marley for a while... He loves Bob Marleys music... I became good friends with this guy... and he showed me a peice of paper with his name on it, and told me to never forget his name... To this day I know his name, Farah Hasan and Insha'Allah I'll never forget it. Although I was weary of his intent, it turned out ok and I managed to help him in the little way I could, I think I was nieve and probably could have been putting myself in danger, especially showing him where I lived, maybe in the future i wont be so quick to trust, But then Im left with the dilema of, Do I not help someone out of fear for my own safety? Hmmm... I think I have to do some thinking :)

If you had a daughter though, would you recommend her to behave like this?

NO! Definalty Definatly not!

You just made me think something....

To all who have read my posts : Please do not think I am promoting 'being unsafe' in your day-to-day life, I am just writing about my personal way, Like the saying goes from most parents "Dont talk to strangers" and there is reasoning behind that saying, as Ninth Scribe has already stated. I dont in any way want any person to read what I wrote and think... ''Well, that brother was ok, I'll be ok" Because you might not be, and I consider that I'm am blessed that my openess to strangers hasnt landed me in serious danger in one way or another, So I'd just like to say, Use common sense and heed wise words, DO NOT do as I say or do as I do. It is for Allah (SWT) to guide you, not me. Again, Im only sharing my personal experiences, not offering advice as to how to act

Peace and Blessings
