...on both sides.

Sometimes, when I'm outside, I really become paranoid

I imagine, what people think about me and my hijab while they are staring et me (even if they don't do).
Then I stop and I think of all the other possible reasons, that make people look at me. And I realize that as Muslims we are often too sensitive and we are at risk to make the same mistakes, that we face: We generalize.

You know, I have many non-muslim friends and I very rarely faced any racist-based acts of hatred. And the few cases were merely ridiculous, alhamdulillah (thank God).

So we need tolerance on both sides.
As Muslims we need to leave behind the role of a victim and be more confident - and I mean self-confidence as well as some more trust in our fellow men. We can't cooperate while being suspicious towards each other.

Please note:
"Infidels" isn't meant seriously, it's not the word I would choose myself, that's why I put it in quotes. Rather I wanted to show, that the girl on the right side thinks, that the muslim girl will call her "infidel". So her own interpretation makes her be offended.

Brother Nayzak reminded me, that Allah said in the holy Qur'an: "O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin..."
[from Translation of 49:12]

I often think that when I am with my girlfriend or wearing a pro gay rights shirt.

I don't look weird at girls with scarfes but I do admit I look a little weird if a woman is fully dressed in black/burqa during the summer.
But thats more because I think 'Wow that must be terrible smelly''

Sometimes I cant avoid to look at girls wearing hijab because where I live you rarely see one and I think they look very enigmatic, so I just feel attracted by their look. Just curiosity. Sorry :C

haha, no problem. There are so many reasons for looking at people. We all should stop thinking of the worst possibilitiy (:

I'm afraid that Muslims will think that I'm thinking that they think I'm an infidel. That's a bit for a problem. I really want to learn from the Qur'an, I think hearing it being read is beautiful, more beautiful than any song.

What do you do when you're so scared that people think that you're offended when in no way you are? *buries face in hands*... Why?

haha, pretty complicated, isn't it?

I think a smile can do more then words (;
