Hi. My name is Amanda. I was born and raised in Colorado. I have a lot of friends at school and I'm a popular girl in school. As for my looks, I'm pretty. The thing is though, I'm Lebanese. I also have Mexican in my blood. I don't wear a scarf though.
But, sometimes some kids will tease me. I don't like it though, when people make fun of my religion and say the worst things about it. Because, in reality, it's a very peacful religion. You only hear about the bad cases. I get teased in school saying that the men are (supposedly) allowed to beat on the girls. NO! That's not true whatsoever. God punishes men who do this. If girls get raped, God punished the guy who did this. And they ask me if Arabic people believe in Jesus. Yes, we do. We love Jesus. He's one of our prophets. There are good and bad in every religion. All 3 religions are alike. I just don't want people sterotyping me. You know?
And I'm not ashamed to be Muslim, I'm just angry people have these ridiculous assumptions
