ignore them and show the good muslim example to them. when you get angry, do istighfar. So face it with patience and the hope of earning reward. The Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) said: "How wonderful is the situation of the believer, for everything is good for him, and this applies only to the believer. If something good happens to him, he gives thanks for it, and this is good for him; if something bad befalls him, he bears it with patience, and this is also good for him." (reported by Muslim, may Allah have mercy on him, in al-Saheeh, no. 2999). pray to Allah to give them guide (hidayah). ask for Allah's guidance and protection. gain knowledge about Islam as much as you can from the right sources. Allah knows best.

First of all, just because someone does not agree with you does not automatically mean hate. You admitted yourself that you are young so realize that people are allowed to disagree and nobody has to respect islam as a belief. There are thousands upon thousands of reasons why people do not believe that islam is a peaceful religion. 9/11, London and Spain bombings, threats by Iran, genocide in Sudan, suicide bombings around the world are just a few examples. Most people do realize not all Muslims are violent, but we also realize that the existing violence is being done by Muslims. You can choose to ignore or you can seek the answers yourself. Then you can allow people the right to their opinion or you will just continue to send the message that islam is totally intolerant of anything other than itself.
God Bless.

Dear one, unfortunately there are those who are informed and quickly jump to judgment. I am sorry you are a victim of such hate. I am a Christian, and I do not hate muslims. Be assurred, there are those who are not so narrow-minded. I wouldn't seek 'comebacks', that only shows they got to you. I would simply say, "I'm sorry you feel that way, I'm a good person." and walk away. Some people are just too shallow to teach - they want to be mean. You can't reason with fools. Just go your way and try to be a good loving person. All people want and need love. Blessings to you.

I am a Christian but I do not hate anyone. John 14:6, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 15:13, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Jesus laid down his life on calvery and was crucified for you and me. He washed away our sins. Romans 3:10, As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 3:23, For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Our sins were washed away by a perfect sacrifice on the cross. When he arose he forever opened the door to salvation to all who will call upon his name, will you do that do today, will you step out in faith and accept the free gift Jesus can give, you have no guarantees of tomorrow, if you leave here this year are you sure you know where you will spend eternity. You can be sure right now, just pray this prayer in faith believing in Jesus and you will feel the Holy Spirit touch your heart and mercy and grace will set you free, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

Keep reading and learning and you will improve you knowledge of Islam and other religions.
Dont get angry but find the answers.
The beauty of Islam is that is has wonderful answers for lifes problems that the whole world needs.
Be patient and search for those answers and then share them with others. It is up to them to accept it or reject it.
You will always benefit if you take the attitude of a student and be humble with your answers.
Dont be affected by negative words or statements but realize that you can negate that negativity through silence or good words.

If its fellow classmates are harassing you for your beliefs, What could really help is if you propose to your schools headmaster to allow students in your classroom to visit or spend the night at a Muslim household or have them take field trips to a Mosque (if your Mosque approves of it) to show them that your culture and traditions and prove your normal people. and not what they are taught as stereotypes, or you could present on Islamic culture to your class and let them sample your traditions and bring a Koran to use passages in it that prove your not violent people (but don’t preach). Xenophobia results from naivety and ignorance so to break it you would just have to gradually introduce your culture to them. They can ask questions to your (what do you call a Muslim priest? I'm sorry) at your mosque whenever available and make your lifestyle become an educational experience for your fellow students. If they ask any stupid or insulting questions, don't get angry, condenscending, or defensive doing so would prove them right. Instead just assertivly give an answer to their question as if they are a naive child and kind of smile at them in a friendly matter (with a slight giggle). (dont do it in a condescending way). Sort of like how some of the guest speakers on the Ali G show respond to Ali G when he asks stupid questions. They just casually answer him as if he really did not know the answer to it. So just simply educate them on your culture and gradually expose them to it. When I did that for my Jewish culture, in the end they appoligized for what they said, some even commented "I can't believe I was stupid enough to think that" or sometimes comment on it being interesting. So don't use come backs please. Assertivly educating is the best comeback for predjucial remarks of your culture.

You don't need a comeback - if you believe you believe, and that's your business and nobody else's. If somebody has a problem with that, let *them* waste the precious seconds of their lives worrying about it. If somebody bashes your religion in front of you, just ignore it - taking one's faith too seriously is what keeps getting us humans into so much trouble.

If you call them infidels, you'll sound like an idiot.
If you say you'll chop off their head, you'll sound like an idiot.
Just say something like, "Don't be hating on me! I'm not hating on YOU and you're a bigot so you deserve to be at least disliked! But I'm trying to forgive you. Check back with me next week and maybe I'll be there. Now buzz off."
LOL
And my best advice to you sweetie, is ... it doesn't matter what others think. It matters only what YOU think.

Don't listen to anything anyone has ever told you or is telling you.. Try to wipe your mental slate clean.
Pray to the God of the universe to let the truth prevail in your search for him.
Tell your friends that you're seeking truth.
Read and consider everything.
