Re: In America - vulnerability of Muslims
ahh, just finished reading the whole article and the comments by others - all enriching and quite informative, thanks. :)
sis, and everyone, case_study feels that being perceived as vulnerable does not mean that we are.
and we are really nice people, the ex patriot communities are beneficial just much as they are benefiting in foreign lands.
comparing the plight of other people from other races will make it less anxiety-ridden for us to feel apologetic about our id.
it is true for other people such as Africans, Caribbean, Indians and eastern Europeans etc. who labor in other countries and not their own.
of course we have to address things blown out of proportion as in propaganda and also taken out of context to hold our identity as Muslims who are willing to make all sacrifice and settle in non native parts of the world.
good and bad is in all backgrounds. uk is no heavens for anyone.
we make it for ourselves or fail at it due to factors not directly in our control.
hopes that people can become more accurately aware of each other and the targets of their stereotypes and paranoid illusions or delusions.
cheers!
