My wife has a Arab guy in her office who keeps asking her funny questions, what should I do?

Question

1. He asks her where she used to work.
2. He asked her if she was married and how many kids she has.
3. He always reads his Coran around her and always raises his voice so she can her him.

I think he is trying to convert her or make her into a Muzlim What to do?

Answer 1

He might think that she likes to hear it. Christians do things like that too, so it's not because he is Muslim. If she really has a problem with it, she should ask him to read it more softly. Otherwise, I wouldn't do anything. Frankly, none of that seems like that big of a deal to me....

Answer 2

Curb yr bigotry I'd say. It's Muslim (if not Moslem). It's Koran (If not Quran). I am no Muslim. I think yr concern is frankly ridiculous. None of the questions this man has asked your wife nor any the behaviour you've listed is cause for any reasonable and thoughtful person to be concerned. Just take it easy, put the gun away, take a nap...

What could be yr concern? Suppose he is trying to "make her into a Muzlim", what possible cause for concern could you have? She is an independent being, I assure he will not hold a plane to her head, insisting she convert. Are you honestly that threatened? that insecure?

Answer 3

Make certain your wife keeps this employer at bay. Sometimes, innocent actions of politeness within an office can be wrongfully misconstrued, i.e., bringing someone a cup of coffee.

There are many American customs that we have that can reflect some type of encouragement when dealing with others from another culture. Where we would take a midi or mini-skirt for granted and simply smile at a pretty girl wearing something fashionable, others, from a foreign land might take it the wrong way.

Above all, don't ignore the matter. If necessary, telephone her supervisor and as her faithful husband, and discuss the situation.

Answer 4

There is nothing you should do except learn about his culture.
Ignorance about someones culture is what makes all of us in America prejudice and judgemental. We forget to look as Mandella says to look at one another with a loving spirit.

He prays to Ala 7 times a day as you would to God as being a Christian out of the bible praising the Lord Jesus Christ in which Your are to do. If your were Hebrew you would be praying the same from the Torah. Atheist you would believe and pray to yourself and believe in youself all day long till you achieved your goal

He is not converting your wife. He is being friendly . He wants to know about his surroundings . Wouldn't you?

Enough with the 911 mystisism. There are People from Lebonon and Iraq that were persequeted by Sadam Husien and lived in fear. At this present Moment the Huisbiella are killing the Isreali's and the Lebonese that do not agree with them.

The fighting escalates. This man came here to work in peace and Freedom? They come here with nothing. Send their money home to 50 or more relative so they can make it.

Do we do that for our relatives here?

No!

Don't wory about what this man is doing with his Koran read it and find out what it is about. Mohammad was the last of the prophets. There is some good and bad in the bible as well as the Koran. It is translated in English if you can't read Arabic. You can learn Arabic Free on line. The alphabet is easy and can be written Easily. Classes on Moslim Studies are given at Wayne County Community District, Henry Ford Community College. Language is online Free just type in the search.

Answer 5

Well he is making a hostile work environment and there are laws in most states. I mean that is the far end of the spectrum but if my kids cannot pray before a football game or say the pledge then I think that the Koran needs to be held to the same standard, no?

Answer 6

He may have asked her these questions because he had an interest in her. He may hope that she listens to him while he reads, and likes what she hears. It's the same thing single Christian men do. Not all but a lot of them. She should just inore him unless he is affending & harrasing her sexually or spiritually. If she does not want him to talk to her then she needs to ask him to stop. If he keeps doing it after she has told him to stop then she needs to tell her boss.

Answer 7

Have your wife take the problem to human resources or her manager. You are not in a place to take an action. By the way, the fact that he is an Arab has nothing to do with unwanted or inappropriate behavior in the work place.

Answer 8

if she is bothered by him reading the coran, then she should tell him so. But the other questions seems pretty normal to me. are you worried about something?

Answer 9

She has to tell him that this type of questions are against work policies & rules & none of his business.
If he is her boss, she needs to sharpen her resume & start looking again. If he is a co worker, she can go to her superior & suggest that he not ask such personal questions of her. She should tell the supervisor that he is making her very uncomfortable with his personal questions, & reading of the Koran so loudly that it is interfering with her work.
Keep it on a very professional level.

Answer 10

I think you are paranoid because he is Muslim. Have you ever asked a woman those questions-- especially one you see daily at work? Many men (and women) ask those same questions. I am sure your wife can take care of herself-- if she really needs to. If it bothers her to hear him read the Koran, then have her ask him to respect that (unless, of course, she brings her bible and reads it aloud, too!)
