Re: A Zionist visitor
how have you responded?
depends on the individual, their intentions, manner of asking, etc
it ranges from explaining and educating, to ignoring, to telling them to piss off and worse.
I have no patience or intentions to engage in a discussion with some bigot who is not there to communicate but to accuse.

I only have been "confronted" or asked after the OBL raid at work when it samehow came up that i was pakistani/muslim. But from what I can tell it wasnt necessarily with any mean intentions, so i responded with calm. But I agree, if the manner/tone of asking is offensive, then my reply would be in kind.
Re: A Zionist visitor
What are the good and bad points of Zionism? We Muslims have a negative view of Zionism just as Jews would have Nazi's. It would be nice to hear a Self-confessed Zionist's story.

aside from one person everyone I know or work with or hang with has been cool. a former colleague started reading all kinds of stuff after 9/11 and the discussions with him were painful because he would do the usual selective quotes and sharing of selective events, and then i showed him I could do the same but that is not a discussion it is a holy pissing contest which I am not interested in, and that I am done talking and am not obliged to entertain a barrage of accusations, until he wants to have a discussion which is not based on crap he is reading on lame sites. we stopped talking, and surprise surprise it took him a few years but he realized the uber right wingers he was getting his intel from were a bunch of idiots. All it ooh was the discussions to talk about race and they went all out on africans, not realizing the dude is married to an african lady...opened his eyes to what these people really were.
