Re: Clever Answers to Dumb Taunts about Islam
See, I wouldn’t even want to bother myself with people like that. I’ll probably even stay away from them.
I have been asked dumb questions, but usually it’s people who are just ignorant and want to know the information.
Once I was asked if I ever wash my hair (I’m a hijabi), in my college’s bathroom and seeing how the chick was one of those sorority-blonde types who probably had no idea about Muslims, I explained how I not only take showers daily, I also have to clean myself properly in preparation of the 5 daily prayers. It was a pretty dumb question and the way she asked it sounded a little offensive, yet when I realized that she really had no idea, I explained it to her without being upset about it.
On the contrary if this was someone who just wanted to make fun of me or insult me or my religion, I’d probably ignore them instead of playing along or hell even report them to my manager if they don’t stop. There are very few things I’m as a-nal about but yeah, making fun of my religion, looks, race etc., is not something I’d ever be okay with.
