IF u r a western what are your first respond, action, attitudes, thoughts when you see an arabian or muslim?

Answer 1

I would most likely glance at them and go back to whatever I was thinking about. Most Americans are getting over the initial fear after the Muslim boys flew into buildings. Just because there are Muslims who think it is fine to kill innocent people around the world and especially in Israel, it doesn't mean we are afraid of all muslims.

Answer 2

Depends on how they are acting. If they seem nice and friendly I think nothing of it, and smile at them. Some of the women wear very nice silk head dresses. I've known some very nice Arabs and a few nice Muslims who have been very kind to me. I have a good friend who's from Palestine.

If on the other hand they behave like I have wittinessed certain people I know act, well I'm libel to think their a terrorist or an extremest. For example I once saw in a restaurant I used to work at, there was a group of them all in very traditional outfits (I assume) and one of the young Muslim girls had an a burka and took it off to eat her soup. This enraged the men who were with them. He stood up and started yelling something in Arabic. I also had one Muslim (and no he wasn't Arabic) tell me that he wanted to bring down the Western world because he hated America so much. I really hope this is not the usual behavior, I'm assuming it's extremist.

Answer 3

It would shock me, because there arent many Arabians or Muslims where i come from...if any... but my Aunty in law is a muslim, and i treat her the same as i do my Atheist aunties... i just hope she treats me the same way.

Respond: i make eye contact, i smile.

Action: None, unless needed.

Attitude: Wow, what a lovely Yashmak... *smile*

Thought: He/she has such lovely eyes.

Answer 4

If it's a women wearing a head covering, sometimes I wonder if she's hot. And sometimes I think about Indian food. Because not to be racist, but I don't always know how to differentiate someone of Arabian ancestry from someone of Indian ancestry.

Answer 5

I am a patriotic person, and still a little tender from 9-11 but I do understand that not all muslims are of an evil nature.

I don't stare but I do worry for their souls, because they have been taught that the Bible is faulty.

So to answer your question...I keep doing what I am doing and think "I wonder what they think about terrorism?"

Answer 6

It really depends on the context. If the person was acting suspicious then I would be suspicious. If the person was acting normal, I wouldn't give them a second glance - if I noticed them at all.
For me, race and/or religious apparal don't seem to have much of an impact, until the person does something that warrents my attention.

Answer 7

The same actions attitudes and thoughts I have when I see a Christian or Jew or Atheist. No different

Answer 8

Nothing different than my first response to anyone I don't know. Despite the government's best efforts I don't hate of fear Arabic looking people.

Answer 9

Why just western.. you forgot the ers that goes on the end their. Why do you single us out. Oh and by the way I would show them the same respect I show all people. There would be no reason for me to think anything about them I don't know them

Answer 10

I feel sad for them because they've been deceived by an evil cult. Most moderate muslims are good ppl but most of them have only seen a quran in arabic and they have no idea of the sickness in islamic history. Islam is a mental prison.
