Queen…of course I’m not going to start listing all the non-Muslim people in my life that reciprocate and give respect to my culture…there are simply too many.

But don’t you wonder why there are such people in my life? Why do you think that is the case?

And even if there weren’t…are you suggesting that respect should only be given once it is received?

No, that’s not what I am suggesting. What I am saying is, respect everyone, everyone’s religion, their customs, their traditions, festive, but yes, IF they celebrate your occasion with you, you should treat back the same. IF they don’t, why do you need to?

p.s. “YOU” above is used as third person. Again it’s totally what I think. Of course, I am no one to question here on the beliefs and faiths. Not everyone will agree to me and neither would I. I think, mess starts when people think that the comments in any certain threads are thrown to each other indirectly and are raised to question each other’s belief, while it is not true. Sometimes, discussions should remain discussions, and if we have such a big heart to respect other religions and their festive, I think we should have enough big hearts to respect each others views too, where “each others” is referred to Muslims. We, Muslims. We can respect our own Muslim Brothers too!!
