Muslims in the west, have you seen an increase in racism?

[Fishermans_eye]

It was an article about increase of Islamophobia. I don't "look like a Muslim", but Islamophobia is just another word for racism against foreigners.

I've noticed it, I don't think people turn more racist. I think people are just more open about it.

Is there anyone else that wants to move to an Islamic country?

Yeah definitely, Indonesia, been planning this all ma life you know, not that I was really a victim of harassment or bullying, but now things are starting to cave in, I've been called a terrorist a few times already, it's horrible,

I know it's worse elsewhere, UK aint all that bad.

Sweden is very bad. The Politics are still good but our BNP will beet barrier and enter in the next election. I get harassed all the time, just the other day someone blocked me in the buss. Sweden is seen as good on the outside but it's horrible in the inside.

Never been called a terrorist but I've been called a "chink".

Haven't noticed an increase in racism myself but have seen it in news and newspaper etc.

One time, whilst canvassing, I experienced some racial abuse. I could have beat the living day lights out of them but that probably wouldn't have gone down well with Npower - my job was to sell gas/electricity, not beat up random chavs unfortunately

Ohh that's so cruel, You shouldv'e got your brother to beat them up, atleast he hasn't got his job on the line, I though pakistani ppl always do this, get their whole generation to jump one muppet, or isi a Lu'on fing?

I never thought anyone would call me a terrorist! And they were really fat man :blind:

Well I can't exactly say I've seen an increase in racism, but I have experienced quite a lot of it - direct & indirect. You could say I'm used to it now.

Mostly though it's OK - it's just those minority.

I have been in UK twice for two months in each visit and it was REALLY SUCKS there. I was not comfortable at all there, I really pray to Allah to make it easy for muslims there
I was feeling like I am totally stranger there, everyone staring at me like I am comming from another world. I cant even go for shopping freely. it was really bad there

1. The UK is not that bad. There are a lot of countries where they murder Muslims all the time.

2. Where are you from?

Oh thats awful.......I heard that UK is better than the other countries
I visited London two years aga and one of my visits there was on the underground explodes event, I was completly disable to go out from the home (it was becuse of the way I dressed) even my father and brothers cant go out. many time they have been asked by strangers there about where they are from and why they are the UK.
I am from one of the Arabian Gulf countries, It was really a relief when I back to home and seeing my muslim people there again

That's the one side of Sweden. My closest friend lives there and sure she has seen it too, but not all that much.. I think I must ask her further. It must depend if the place already has lots of foreingers or if it's something "unusual".

In Finland it depends, some places can be worse and some you won't really notice... I myself haven't gotten all that much trouble, just a little. I know people who have gone through worse and a few even murdered.

What I have gotten more trouble with is the fact I am Muslim, the comments about Islam are more usual than comments about me being an Kosovar (maybe they don't even notice I'm one! lol).

well im in London and i havent experianced anything bad, perhaps they know better than to mess with me :Evil:

i did experiance one slight form of racism last year, but it wasnt because i was Muslim, rather the idiot thought i was Jewish and called me a YID which is a derogatory way of calling someone a Jew.

i went to New York last month, and Norfolk Virginia, didnt experiance anything bad.

the racism though is all over the newspapers.

Just curious, but which countries are these in particular?

I Got called a Northern wazzack by a Southern nonce the other week. Theres no way I'm moving to the midlands though. Theyre all a bunch of spanners.

Thank you for your reply.
Which countries in particular? Is the killing of Muslims common there?

Russia/Poland/Bulgaria/Serbia

Russian police arrested a student yesterday for posting a video on the internet which appears to show the execution-style killing by neo-Nazis of two migrant workers.

Human rights activists said they believed the horrific footage posted on a far-right website on Sunday was genuine. It shows two men with their mouths gagged and hands tied behind their backs. They are kneeling in front of a red and black swastika flag in an unidentified Russian forest. A caption says one of the men is from Tajikistan and another from Dagestan, in Russia's mainly Muslim south.

In Russia it happens, I dont deny, but not in Poland. And not only because there are so few muslims in my country.

Of course it happens. Eastern Europeans (polish included), have been damaged by communism. You are uneducated and your youth turns in to hooligans. Much like the terrorists in Islamic countries.

This is not Muslims but Hindus.

Ryszard Matuszewski is a great Shaiva guru and yogi. He has been arrested several times by police on trumped up charges, he is slandered in the media and by catholic organisations!! He was beaten up by policemen, attempts were made to kill him!! He is the leader of a Hindu organisation called the Himavanti Confraternity Order, which is also persecuted. Attacks were made by catholic mafia on its members, some even managed to kill some of them. The Order is publically slandered!!

LOL, either you are so young or so ..../ Oh well mg:

So this thread is about Hindus?

In my country muslims make up about 0,001% of population.So when hooligans want to beat someone they ussually atatck other Poles, because there are almost no ethnic minorities in Poland. And there are about 10 times less hindus than muslims in my country.

That's the difference between the west and the east. You are 50 years back in time cause of communism. In mentality that is.

Islamophobia = racism. Cause western converts are not targeted.

Wow, what made you take in people in the first place, the EU?

Are you one of those countries that still depict black people as dumb monkeys in cartoons?

Aha, so indeed you must be very young. :giggling:
