like it or not, its called free speech. and how does a remark against your religion constitute being racist?
A racist remark is about your heritage, not religion.
Don't like free speech? Move to another country. Don't like my answer? Then stop whining about someone making derogatory remarks about your religion.
Besides, I have a hard time believing this person just came up and stated on you about your religion for no reason. I got a good feeling something prompted him to do this that you failed to mention sweetie =0

I'm not sure I understand how racism is associated with religious beliefs, but intolerance and ignorance are usually partners. I'm sorry you had to be on the recieving end of this, but as a religious person you also know you have a duty to forgive. In this case, I would recommend leaving things cool down for a few days. Then perhaps you could approach this boy with a calmer head and less hurt. If you do it in a non-threatening way, with just the two of you, you might be able to actually educate him, so he doesn't repeat the offense. At 14, he is repeating what he's heard from others, not likely what he knows from experience. So you have an opportunity to teach him better, and prevent somebody else from the same kind of hurt because of him. You will do three people a good deed this way. You will be blessed for forgiving, and possibly make a friend. He will be blessed by the education and the chance to make amends. And the third unknown person will be blessed by being spared the hurt.

Too defensive over once religion is one of the cause to so many war and terrorist acts in the world.

Set the example - treat the kid with love and mercy. Pray for him.

He got busted and knew it hence the crying. You did enough let things be.

Let it go--- the more you make of it, the more it bothers you and others---"sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me".....it's an old saying it applies to you right now...let it go and it will go away. Sorry you were hurt......
