Let me start by telling you something about myself.I am a Muslim 21 girl.I have travelled around a bit and have explored different religions.And as a Muslim, I have nothing but respect for other religions and cultures.Christianity,Judaism,Buddhism,you name it.This is what I was taught by my parents,in school and in society.I'm not saying all Muslims are perfect.
I agree,there are horrible people who disgrace our religion by calling themselves Muslims.For example, those extreme Afghans who prevent children
from learning or those Saudis who
forbid women from driving.It's really a disgrace! It's sad cause this's the image of Islam that's being portrayed to the West.
Well, I'm a Muslim girl and like many of my friends and relatives,I've been driving since I was 17.I'm studying at collage.I work.I hang out with friends.I took dancing classes.
I Also fast in Ramdan so I can feel with the poor and the less fortunate and try to donate,volunteer and help as much as I can.I pray to be grateful for my blessings.
This is what our religion is all about.You can study,travel,work,have fun (as long no harm to yourself or others is done).Simple as that.
So please don't start bad-mouthing Islam cause you have the wrong impression of it.It is completely offensive and flat out rude.You don't have to Love it or even like it, but at least have the respect for ither peoples beliefs.
If you want to have a civil discussion then I'm all in.If you're curious about anything then ask away.
