My heart really aches w...That's too depressing.<br />My heart really aches when it comes to any being (human & animal) gets discriminated against.<br />I agree that Copts gets discriminated against but I don't agree that the problem is that simple, i.e. muslims discriminating against copts. It's more like ignorance leading to rejection of the other, regardless of his preferences.<br />I had my own share of discrimination as well, and I'm a muslim, believe it or not.<br />I'll have to bug u with my personal experience to elaborate on that point.<br />I used to be your average middle class bikini wearing muslim, I had a life altering experience where I lost faith for a while then converted back to Islam, part of that was wearing the Abaya.<br />Then life turned into hell for me, after being on top of my manager's succession plan, looked at as the potential to head the organization I was working for & having zillions of friends..I was suddenly jobless, can't find a job yet & absolutely friendless.<br />The isolation part is the most intriguing so I second your words about not waking up to decide that today, just 4 kicks, u'll live in parallel world...<br />My friends thought I became so much fun as in me being the fun side of a party "Hahahaha, look at her, she looks hilarious".<br />Found a teaching job that I'm overqualified for & got the "hate looks" u talked about. And literally got accused of being a spy for MB & Salafis all at the same time. That was the teacher/student joke when it's in the teacher ethical code that we respect others in front of students even if we hate them.<br />Again I had to quit.<br />Won't begin with how my family treats me, that would be a shocker. They might've as well sent me to a church :)<br />My point is, it's not as simple as laws & legislations. That's the easy part.<br />The hard part is getting everyone to understand that human beings r all "human beings"? So stop it everyone..I disagree that religion should b kept at home, whether islam or christiany or those who simply believe in an ethics model. It should be practiced properly instead.<br />Education is key to that.<br />The problem here is ignorance. It makes u discriminate against the other to feel more special, then u have to find another other 2 discriminate against. It's a vicious circle. It can burn us all.<br />I hope this will work out for the best.Me, Myself & My imaginary worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095422516018379017noreply@blogger.com
