There are some people that are like that. Still, many people do understand. The only thing you can do is just shrug it off. They are just ignorant. I know it is hard to ignore. But, really what do you care of those people's opinions? If they can't understand that many different beliefs and ideas is what makes our world beautiful and interesting who cares what they think? Maybe talk to one of your family members that is your age. Talk to someone.Talking about things I'm upset about makes me feel better!

I can understand how hurt you are. But, unfortunately, people everywhere are afraid of something they don't understand or something they are not accustomed to. Your clothing, for whatever reason it might be, is very different from what the majority of the women in the western countries. It might not necessarily be that you are looked at in a bad way, you might just be looked at. A lot of people are interested in learning more about Islam, Buddhism or any other religion that is different than there own and are very accepting of differences and very embracing of things that are common for everybody. You just did not meet such people yet.
I am sure you are like any other young lady. Young ladies make friends with other young ladies. Try to make friends, and when people know you better, they will stop looking at your scarf or your balatu; they will see you, a beautiful human being, a loyal friend, a person whose opinion they value very much. It is not easy, but it is worth trying.

Oh come on now: surely you can figure out the answer to your own question. They look at you as if you are different becasue YOU ARE! At least in your appearance, in this country. And given what has happened in this country since 9-11 you have got to expect some defiant stares. Of course you may be normal on the inside, but you are simply perpetuating your different-ness with your dress. I would get the same thing if I walked around Riyad with jeans, a USA #1 t-shirt and sunglasses. Right? ANd by the way: you ARE aware that the Koran says nothing about women having to wear scarves or balatus, right? That type of dress is modern and urban as for as Islam is concerned.
Also, us, if you really are muslim, why did you misspell it every time!!??

Fox information has been brainwashing sheeple into believing each person which will be Muslim is out to get the U. S.. it really is why. i imagine you ought to do inspite of the actuality that works for you, although, I do might want to be conscious the irony of a criticism of being seen as an merchandise of oppression once you your self state that the excuses a million 2 & 3 are submission. Oh, i will brush aside submission to God as this purely ability following your faith, yet on your husband - yet another human being? No. a faith that teaches this as moral is oppression. And that's sexist. it really is a coercion by a morally guiding body telling you that you, a woman, are a foul human being in case you do not enable yet another extra useful than you human being, a guy, have dominance over you in this way. there is such fairly some stages of incorrect, injust, in that it makes me ill.

The Imams of your faith need to denounce those extremist members of your faith that have declared war on the entire non-Muslim world. They need to back this up with solid action to bring these murderers to justice and destroy their enemies within.
Islam, a religion of peace has a rotten element that is too often accepted or applauded. The reputation of your faith has been hijacked by these animals.
Until steps are taken by Muslims to take back their faith, they will be painted with the same wide brush.
Unfortunately, this is so.
So, what you need to do is SPEAK OUT. Tell people who look at you funny how you feel. Encourage other Muslims to do the same. Take back your faith!

because the government and the media only tell people about the things that muslim extremists do because thats all anyone wants to see. they have a thing about thinking anyone who isnt white is from another country (especialy with the whole border thing). and they think that any middle eastern person or person of muslim faith is a terrorist.
my friend Vivik who is Indian and Hindu gets the same deal because people think he is a muslim afghani terrorist
it all make me unhappy to be a human!!

Well i respect all muslims, however realize that people see you differently because of the enemy america is fighting terrorists that are unfortunatly muslim. This raises racism. But don't let it get you down everyone suffers racism some worse than others. Everyone unfortunatly will stereotype everyone. But that is life we must accept it and go foward proving everyone that your judgement does not matter. Good luck.

Unfortunately people can not accept others culture and traditions which is a shame because I find you can learn from others. I would not look down upon you for wearing your country's traditional garb. People are rude just ignore them. :-)
