Answer 1

I do not treat a Muslim any differently than I treat anyone else. One cannot judge what is in a person's heart by their outward appearance. I once stood behind an obviously Muslim woman at a Wal-Mart fabric counter as she was having several yards of lace fabric measured and cut. She had two little boys with her, who were milling around waiting on Mom to hurry up and finish...I struck up a friendly conversation with her and asked what she was planning to make with such lovely fabric...she said she was using it to make a tablecloth. We live in a very diverse society where all people should be treated with equal respect. I would never act differently towards a person based on their appearance.

Answer 2

Like I always do. Muslims are no different from anyone else; they all deserve our respect. It is the radical throwbacks who claim to be Muslim that are the real problem. And when I see an Arab on a plane - yeah, I get nervous. I'd be a liar if I said otherwise. It's not prejudice; it's a natural reaction to the events of 9/11 that embedded that suspiciousness in my mind forever. Nevertheless, they have the right to ride a plane just like everyone else does - it's when they start testing their limits and being a disturbance like those dirty Imams from that incident the other week that they should be rightfully kicked off the plane.

Islam is not the problem. It's violence in the name of Islam, and the general apathy in regard to those movements within the regular Muslim community, that is the problem.

Answer 3

NO! my optometrist and my dentist are Muslim women, the eye doctor covers her head the dentist does not.
Neither one is any different than any persons I meet in my daily travels.
Once I had a Muslim Male exchange student working for me that fasted all day and night sometimes.
HIM, I treated different because, I run a farm and I feared that the lack of nourishment would cause a heat stroke, so he worked inside when he was fasting. Although I still don't know why he was fasting! Most Muslim people look a whole lot like the non Muslim persins I know so....what can I say....

Answer 4

No. I have no reason to make fun or hate anyone. People are what they are, no one is any better than the rest. I am a Christian and while my beliefs are not the same as yours i think they are to be respected anyway. Everyones opinion is important to them at the very least and who am I to strip that away from anyone? All muslims are not terrorists. Not all Christians are either but we have had our fair share throughout history and even up into the present times. A person should be treated with the respect you yourself would want regardless of race, color, creed, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation. We are all human first then the titles or labels come afterward.

Answer 5

it depends. Usually i feel respect b/c it's pretty amazing to commit to such a religion that highly involves your daily life. I also feel comfortable meeting Muslim people b/c usually they are friendlier and are in a kindlier disposition.
However, I feel bad that the women have to cover their hair and are considered inferior to men. It's a combination of pity and sympathy that I feel when I see a covered up woman, that is obviously being oppressed. Although I do know that many women choose to wear the hijab, I believe that the covering puts women at a lower level than men. Now if the men also had to wear full neck and head coverings, I might feel differently.

Answer 6

Hey, seeing a muslim woman is like seeing a nun. Do nuns get treated differnetly? No. So the way I see it is that, just because ur muslim, does not mean u get seen differently. And if there are ppl who think otherwise, why would u think of muslims differently?

Answer 7

Are you living in Iraq now.......if you are dont you have to cover up if you are a women? Or are you living in CA. now? Anyways, I think it is hard to approach a muslim woman when she is covered, Im not to sure why. Maybe it is because I dont know very much about the religion and wouldnt know if it was ok to be friendly or start a conversation.

Answer 8

Well, here's an answer you probably didn't expect - I've never been around one. I'm down here in the hills of Tennessee, and, except for a man I sometimes work with, who acts and dresses just like the rest of us in the crew, I've never been in the presense of a muslim in full dress. I'm sure my first reaction would be to stare, but, hopefully, I would catch myself after a few seconds.

Answer 9

i wouldnt ever make fun of anyone because of their religious preferences. but to be honest, i am a little more wary of muslims, seeing as how a lot of them are terrorists, and some guys in lodi ca, which is around 15 minutes away from my town, were arrested belonging to al quaeda. this is scary to me, but i know that there are a lot of good muslims in the world. they are not all fundamentalist murderers. i als think it is funny to see that some people answered saying muslim is a race. its not a race of people its a religion

Answer 10

I myself notice a Muslim as an ordinary person just like myself. The ones I notice in a negative way are the ones who go out of their way to antagonize other people, these are the ones who I personally wish would leave if they dislike us so much. That goes for anyone who expresses dislike of our culture, not just Muslims.
