if i bump into one more hateful/ignorant neo-nazi on the street...

You know those ignorant people that make racist/highly prejudiced comments to you randomly on the street? The people that you know have no interest or benefit from hearing about Islam so you usually don't chase after them, maybe even for your own safety? I am gonna chase after this jerk (cuz I am not the smartest kid in the class) and tell the bozo I have cancer. Then I want to see their expression and see if they realize how insane their prejudice is about Islam. I swear I'll only do it once....:D

I completely understand! I had a woman just recently who kept staring at me at the doctor's office. I think she was trying to decide if I had hair under there or if I lost it because I'm a cancer patient or something. It doesn't help that I'm as fair-skinned as they come. People have actually come up to me and told me I look really pale and if I'm sick....I just laugh and say, nope I was born looking this way! lol!

Ugh I know how you feel. At times I've been soooo close to screaming "MY BROTHER DIED FIGHTING FOR THIS COUNTRY IN IRAQ, YOU INSENSITIVE JERK"

Just so I can make them regret ever thinking of harassing me.

Assalamu alaikom,
Yeah, sometimes there is no point in bothering, I hear you there. But yes, do tell us what happens if you do decide to say something to someone!

Majda: that actually happened to a Canadian-hijabi aquaintance of mine on vacation in South Carolina, USA. This racist hick came up to her, and told her to go back to her terrorist country. She could honestly tell the fool with tears in her eyes that her brother had been killed defending American allies in Afghanistan. "Terrorists hijacked MY religion" she informed him.

Salam alaikom sisters,
Oh Pixie that is so sad.. Allah (SWT ) grant sabr to your friend.

I however, agree with sister eyes serene.. sometimes there is no reasoning with racists. They are so head strong and full of hate...

BUT if you feel you have to, for your peace of mind. go for it, as long as you dont put yourself in danger.

khair inchallah x
