Being afraid to befriend anyone is a personal decision and usually brought on by family or peer pressure.
If you give in to either one on these pressures, you will end up loosing the opportunity to have a really great friend, and perhaps your life-long best friend.
There is so much prejudice in the world today, and some of it comes shamfully from our own churches. Your friends have nothing to do with your religious beliefs unless you let them interfere with God's plans for your life.
Make friends with whomever you want.....and you will be the happier for it. And if someone denies you friendship based on your religion, then you are better off without them.

you are lumping a lot of people into this...i don't think EVERYONE is afraid to befriend a muslim girl...with a headress. there will always be ignorance in the world. there are a lot of uneducated people that look at all that's going on in the world and blame a group of people. everything has to be someone's fault. be confident that you can find a friend most anywhere where there are open-minded loving people.
blessings.

Yeah... its hard to find someone that would want to be friends with you and hang out when you're a Muslim and wearing a scarf...
Most my college friends were friends in the college... not outside... except for a few that didn't care what religion they befriended...
AND... believe me... even most of the "college friends ONLY" have changed their minds about me once they started to know me... NOW almost everyone's hanging out :D instead of a few :D
SO... it takes time... they'll start befriending you... and if they don't... then it just means they weren't good enough to be friends with you...

Because they think that their parents are very strict and are afraid of offending the family. They think that Muslims walk around with bombs under the Abaya which they don't. They believe the media and just hate Muslims in general. There's a huge issue right now in Britain with the Radical Extremists who want Shariah Law(Islamic Law) in place instead of democracy and the Britain's are trying to ban the Muslim women from wearing the niqab(Face veil) in public.

Perhaps you are only referring to everyone of your immediate relatives and close friends. Those who avoid befriending a girl because she's a muslim are missing a lot. Some of them are

Muslim girls are not allowed to have extra marital friendships with men but they can befriend with anyother woman who likes to have.But if somebody has a religious bias, I think nobody should be prepared to have a friendship.There are kidnappers, suicidal attackers,serial killers and rapists in the non-muslim society also but nobody from muslims hates to have friendship with them on this basis.If somebody wants to hate him, why should he care for him.

Not everyone is afraid of Muslim girls.
I know three Muslim women I am friends with but we have agreed not to discuss religion and we get along fine.

I have nothing against the religion as long as the belief isn't pushed onto me (as with any other religion). I think some people are just afraid that they won't know how to talk to you or what to say. Some people are downright hateful and small-minded.

erm.. to everyone, not all muslims are arabs
im muslim and im asian (not indian, not pakistani)
and i believe there's nothing wrong with befriending me
i have friends who are christians, buddhists, hindu, even atheist
and they love me for who i am and we can talk about religion without being judgemental towards one another
i don't have strict parents and they dont force me to cover myself
they let me do whatever i want, as long i remember who my Creator is and that i don't kill ants (sarcasm)
i love u all
oh, and did i mention not all muslims are arabs?

I agree with Samantha. Sometimes it takes a whole semester for ppl in the class to really start talking to you (after you have already tried talkin to them)...and then you may never have a class together again.
