"Everyone hates me because I'm Muslim"

That's a really sad story and it makes me annoyed at the attitudes of some people and the media.

Is this your friends story?

Thank you for replying. And unfortunately yes.

Hey guys, so one of my friends had told me to upload this thread, "hated because I am muslim":

"Im just an ordinary prepubescent self-identified Muslim, who currently attends Secondary School. I have a lot of friends from many ethnicity, backgrounds and I get on with everyone. However a lot of people treat me differently because I am Muslim and I just don't get it. What have I done wrong. I respect other peoples beliefs, cultures and considering I went to an Catholic primary school my parents even encourage me to go Mass. But I just don't get it. Im honestly a really humble person, but why am I defined by my religion and why is there so much hostility towards me. It makes me upset and depressed as I have lost alot of friends since the Paris attacks".

"Im just an ordinary prepubescent self-identified Muslim"

"why am I defined by my religion"

So this person has lots of friends AND everyone hates him? That's one confused victim complex!

Sounds like a good time for your friend to become an atheist.

Contrary to what we're lead to believe

Right so if someone hates you for who you are, YOU'RE the one that should change?
Makes sense.

To understand the reservations people have when it comes to the Muslim faith (beyond simple prejudice/intolerance), try reading the Koran from cover to cover from the perspective of the 'kafir', a woman, or a homosexual, for example. Contrary to what we're lead to believe, Islam is the religion of 'submission', not 'peace'

If you are a devout Muslim, who holds the Koran as the indisputable word of Allah then this cannot be so, for it is littered with damning and divisive rhetoric regarding the beliefs of others (just as other religious texts are, sadly)

You don't have to be, you have a choice, and you certainly should challenge anyone who makes false assumptions about you and your beliefs

Kind of answered your own question there, unfortunately, the actions of a relatively small proportion of your fellow believers, perpetrated in your name, have horrified the world and helped entrench Islamophobia. This is, sadly, just the tip of the iceberg, however

Well kinda makes sense. For example I hate polytheists who do shirk, so yeh, such people should change for the better.
