Chatterbox: Down to Earth
I'm Muslim, and
I'm Muslim, and it makes me so mad the way some people treat me because of the way I dress. I wear long skirts and a headscarf, and I'm proud of it. It's just that some people are so rude. Once, my mom and I were walking in a store, and a woman passed us. As she was walking, she said, "You don't have to dress like this in America."
My mom stopped and said, "Excuse me? Why don't you come here and say that?"
"Okay," said the woman, and she walked over, looking huge and vicious. My mom set her straight and explained to her our religion, and afterwards, the woman gave us each a hug and apologized. "You've really opened my eyes," she said.
I'm as American as all of you. My dad is from the Middle East, but my mom is completely American. She was raised as a Christian, and she converted when she was 18. A few years later, she met my dad and married him.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but what do you guys think of Muslims?

Oh, it's just another word for Catholic. l might've spelled it wrong.

Yay for acceptance! I'm Catholic but am pretty accepting of LGBT, other religions, and of course races (I'm minority race and not WASP!)

@Anonymous and Somebody: I would never ridicule you for your beliefs. If you don't believe in God, that's your choice. I'm sure you're noth great people!
@Will T.: Thank you, Will!
@Brookeria: I've never had the impression that Christians are haughty! You're a great person, Brookeria, and being Christian doesn't affect that. As Muslims, we're supposed to be humble and to love people, too.
