You should definitly not be embarassed about your faith. And people shouldn't make fun of you because of it. You have freedom of Religion, and if they can't except that, then forget about them. I'm sure theres a lot of people out there who will accept you for who you are no matter what faith you have. It's good that you don't support 9/11(nothing against your parents or anything).

Bin Laden is/was an EXTREMIST. He "hijacked" Islam, much in the way there are fundamentalist Christians who have completely twisted the whole "love thy neighbor" message into something hateful.

Greetings....
You need to understand that people lash out in anger, and anger comes from pain, from fear, and from not understanding. It's not right for them to treat you and judge you as they do, but truly there is little you can do about it. There will always be someone else out there who speaks first, and thinks about it later.
Most important though is how you feel about yourself. To remind yourself that you are not responsible for the sins of another. Nor should you feel guilt or be punished for them. The same goes for your parents views. They are thier own, and you have your own. You know what is inside of you, you know your own heart. Never let anyone make you feel as if you have done something wrong for being who you are. You know what you believe and what you feel, and that is most important. Stand proud, turn your back on the ignorance of others, and do your best to ignore them. Just remind yourself it is truly with ignorance that they attack you for the sins of others. You are not at fault.

Your parents are making this much harder.

First, tell people that Bin Laden is a poor example of Islam and that you don't agree with him.

Anyone stupid enough to pick on you over this deserves everything you can throw at him/her. Tell them not to be so racist.

Complain to the school counselor if the teasing persists.

And, of course, don't lose your faith unless you want to. Religion is a personal desision. It should be made by YOU, not by a bunch of bigotted classmates.

First off, your parents must be complete idiots. Anybody who supports terrorism regardless of who it is against is ridiculous.

You parents probably don't make it easy for you. Having to hear people say the stuff they say to you, then hearing your parents basically say "Bin Laden kicks butt!" is probably really confusing and depressing. You getting to different messages from different people and it's putting you in the middle of it.

There was a Muslim guy at my school that was in a few of my classes. He was picked on a little bit and it made him upset so he talked to the school counselors about it and they gave him a pass to get out of class and go straight to the counselor's office if he felt uncomfortable or threatened. Being able to just get up and walk out helped him a lot. Maybe you can talk to your counselor and see if they can do the same thing for you?

I know there are a lot of places for Muslims to go and get support from other Muslims. It's probably a good idea to just check it out. A lot of them probably have the same problems.

For now, whenever you are being called Bin Laden and being picked on tell them you are Muhammad Ali and your going to "fly like a butterfly" all over their asses. They would be so shocked. I noticed most Muslims don't stand up for themselves. Try it. See what happens.

Hopefully things work out for you.

Good luck.

First off, if that was me, they wouldn't be saying another word for a long while. I hate it when people are like that and I am so sorry you have to go through that. Just tell them to beat it and leave you alone. Its not the best way to beat off some racists but if they go and do it again, tell them off. It may not be humane but thatll teach them to mess with you. lol. Hope I helped, if I didnt i am so sorry but i am truely sorry that people out there are like that and you have to deal with them.

Lots of Love,
Nicole

I'm sorry to hear that people treat you like that! Just tell them how you feel and let them know you dont support the 9/11 attacks. But dont let their ignorance get to you. As for your parents...im glad that you don't agree with their beliefs, because what Bin Laden did was WRONG!!!Just be proud of who you are and where you come from!

queenbee answered Saturday July 24 2004, 10:44 pm:
You should not be ashamed of your beliefs. Do not let other people's ignorance dictate how you feel about yourself. Be proud of who you are and where you come from. You cannot change how your parents feel but you don't have to agree w/them 100 percent of the time. 9/11 is a tender subject in the hearts of all Americans regardless of race and/or ethnicity but that does not make it okay to single you out because of your religion. You had nothing to do with what happened and you don't have to bear that burden.

They don't know what they're talking about. Just live your life like you normally would. 9/11 was terrible but Muslims weren't the ones responsible, Al-Quada was. People like that are ignorant and biased and need to be ignored. Hope this helps. <3 Sporkster

kevin1986 answered Saturday July 24 2004, 10:41 pm:
Tell them that it really bothers you that they do that. Remind them that a lot of people died that day and it annoys you that they would even joke that you support that. You have a right to practice whatever religion you want. If they still don't get the picture,they're not really your friends and hang around somebody else. It's not your fault Osama hates us. And it's not your fault 9/11 happened.
