I had an amazing experience yesterday. I was a victim of racism for the first time in my life. I’m not sure whether it was racism though. I need your important opinions on the matter.
July 21, 2006. Friday. Event spot: Elmont, New York.
Sunny day at 2 o’clock. Our weekly prayer just ended & we were getting back home from mosque. On the way, I heard someone saying something with annoyed voice. A 65 year old caucasian guy throwing foul remarks towards us. He looked annoyed and he was saying “Jackson heights, Jamaica, Long Island city now Hempstead…” (may be alluded that these places filled with damn Muslims) He was dissing us for no reason. I was amazed. What is he doing? Well, unlike him, none of us Muslims said a word. Anyway, while driving back home, I took a second look at the old man. Guess what! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The old man now took out a whistle & started blowing it towards the Muslims, mocking offensively. I couldn’t get more amazed.
