I am thinking of changing my surname because it is a Muslim surname

I am from a Muslim country and my family is also Muslim, but they do not practice it. I have a problem because I hate Islam and Muslims, and I do not feel comfortable with my surname as it is a Muslim surname.

But then I am in a dilemma because it is my family surname and has been so for so many generations, so idk. What would you do if you were me?

Should I change my surname or just leave it?

Actually job discrimination on the basis of being Muslim in the US has increased. In addition to this, in the UK, the government conducted a study whereby they sent many job applications to various companies across the UK of which they were a number of non-white British names and white British names that 'applied'. The results acquired from this study clearly depicted that the latter was more preferred as they recieved the most postive responses.

This is why I hate Muslims, you are all so abusive and cannot respect anyone of a different belief.

Yes I know there is a difference between Islamic and Arabic. My name is a strictly Islamic name, and I am not from an Arab country. Idiot.

Your family aren't Muslims if they do not practise Islam.

There's a difference between Islamic and Arabic you idiot, like Jamil is Arabic and even Christians use this name.

Secondly, how many people here are athiests does that mean they want to change their names because they hate their ex-religion?

You're a pathetic self-hating troll (I mean I know of Muslims that convert to other religions but does that mean that you have to hate Muslims?).

What are you going to do about your Muslim face? Change that as well? God, you're insecure.

Hmm is that really surprising? Surely if you did the same kind of experiment in a country like China Chinese sounding names would be more likely to get jobs?

People hardly judge people by their surname... so people with Muslim surnames don't get jobs? It will not make you less of a Muslim if you change your name. I don't know why you hate Islam and why you want to change it exactly, but changing it wont make you less Muslim.

P.S: you mean Arabic surname not Muslim right? since "Islam" is not a language...

rubbish..absolute rubbish.,...what world do you leave in......??

People form an instant opinion about you based on your name...it is a trend in today's' society..... Turn in a resume for a job and the first thing the recruiter does is look at your name...

I hate to be pedantic but it's interesting to see you've used a superlative for the negative type of muslim and only "ok" for the better type. Are you trying to suggest practicing muslims can't be great people?

So someone with an Arabic surname is less likely to get a job than one with a western one?
