These personality traits that you describe can be found in every religious or ethnic group, and its understandable that negative experiences create negative associations.<BR/><BR/>I agree with ChirpyChickadee, Melinda, and Autumn. I believe Muslims should stand united although they are very disconnected from each other on so many levels. We must work towards improvement. There are so many big steps that we can all take to change things, and when you surround yourself with the right people, you will have so much more support than you expected.<BR/><BR/>I know that I have met some really great people too recently ;) You will find more Muslims like yourself. You've already found a few now, no? <BR/><BR/>Khuda hafezAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611160878461950112.post-90134696535413653482008-04-30T22:35:00.000-04:002008-04-30T22:35:00.000-04:00Melinda:Yes..I know.

They are hard to find but I have found some :)<BR/>And I'm truly grateful I've found ones like yourself, chirpychickadee and broken mystic :)<BR/><BR/>Autumn:<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment. I'm trying to convince myself that this hate in so many Muslims is about them and not about Muslims in general. Their hate reflects their own insecurities and is not my problem. <BR/><BR/>It always feel great to meet like-minded people who I can learn from.Farheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432706760059040473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611160878461950112.post-86501812733566965422008-04-30T22:01:00.000-04:002008-04-30T22:01:00.000-04:00Not that I am Muslim, but I think that people tell...Not that I am Muslim, but I think that people telling you that God hates you has more to do with their own misery than their religion.<BR/><BR/>Which I suppose is your point, in that it's not the religion at fault but the people, who have a knack for being hypocritical, and in this case, blasphemous for evoking God's damnation on another human being. I think that's kind of trans-religious to make other people feel bad so that one can ignore their own faults.<BR/><BR/>I have the sense that Muslims are struggling with their identities, especially younger ones, and many of them in your same position, trying to, being forced to, assert themselves among all the outlandish things that they hear from all sides on what they should believe, look like, act like, etc. It is here I think there is more room to meet, learn, and teach.teiquirisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01231499596416411688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611160878461950112.post-81921950733366098402008-04-29T03:28:00.000-04:002008-04-29T03:28:00.000-04:00I agree with Chickadee...

But it does help to know that there are Muslims out there who are like me. :)Farheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432706760059040473noreply@blogger.com
