Well..here is my story..
Im a girl in school who is friends with everyone..I gues you can say im "popualr" I shop good, I get good grades (well..hehe..) Umm, Im just a typical girl. I am also Middle Eastern. I was born in USA, but my parents are both from the middle east. I love my culture, I am muslim too. I love my religion too. Every once in a while, (every year or so) someone will say something like "What do they do in the Middle east?" "What are they hiding??" "ahhh Ghina has a bomb!" but, you know..there joking. Today, a "friend" of mine kept saying things like that, and he called me a terrorist. He made me feel bad, but I didint show it, I just told him to stop..and that it wasint funny and stuff. At the end of class he took my hand and said "you know I love you, im just kidding around" And I was like.."yeah whatever.." And he asked if I forgave him, I said yeah sure, you know whatever. But...What should I do next time this happens? Has this happend to anyone else? Help me out.

I think it's just a maturity level thing with him. Although some people are stuck on stupid. This includes grown people who still think that they are better than others because of skin color, background, status, titles...whatever. The next time it happens...I say ignore it and them because obviously they aren't your friends.

I think that if this happens again, you should talk to him, or the person who said it, about it. And don't let it get to you. People are always gonna be mean, that's life, but showing that your the mature one by ignoring their stupid comments, shows that your really grown up and you dont want to sink to their level.

i'm muslim too but that never happens to me, but my advice to you is to just ignore them and if they dont stop, to tell them its not your faault things are happening like terrorists, its not like you had anything t do with it, eventually if that doesnt work out you might have to tell a teacher (i know you dont want to rat your friends out, i wouldnt either ) but right in case it does happen.
good luck x0x
