Is this a class thing i.e low educated muslim men?
Do they fear our independance
My personal experience in my job - I get total disrespect from some muslim males, Im always polite to everyone, is there anything I can do to get respect or is it not worth trying?

maybe destest is wrong word, lack of respect I think is more spot on.

I'm a Christian, born in the U.S., blond, blue eyes. My husband is from Yemen, Arab and Muslim. He is the kindest, most thoughtful person I have ever met. He is considerate, especially of elder people, and women, but in general with everyone. He will go out of his way to help someone, anyone.

So, once again, and with hope that this message will get through - generalizations are seldom accurate when you take the time to meet and know a person individually.

sure, there probably is amazingly extremely some 'passive help' between Muslims in western worldwide places for Bin encumbered and/or Islamic fundamentalism, in plenty the comparable grow to be that there is extremely extremely some passive help in western countries for an imperialist and racist recommendations-set which looks down on maximum human beings of non-whites as inferiors. will we've a teach of palms from all white US voters who've in no way felt this recommendations-set in direction of blacks, asians, Mexicans or Puerto Ricans, regardless of in the event that they have in no way expressed it verbally? will we've the comparable from white British people who've in no way felt that blacks and Indians are in basic terms in the united kingdom because of the fact they have been until now our slaves or got here from worldwide places which used to affix our Empire?

I think it's more to do with their culture. It depends where they're from etc. Do you know where they're originally from? If i knew, i could help. (I'm a muslim myself.) Anyhow, some cultures naturally think that men should have control over women, and that would mean that women wouldn't be entirely independant. If these men were brought up in that kind of culture, then yes, they're probably afraid or disagree with your independance. I personally think that men who think that way are stupid and need to see the reality. Maybe they'll get used to your independance...? If i knew more about them, maybe i could offer more help.

I don't know if that's true. In my career (I work in a Vet clinic) I see LOTS of 'western women' married to Iraquis, Iranians, Saudis and Pakastani men. It could be regional, but I can think of at least 6 couples of Muslim integrated couples.

maybe on the surface they hate western women but I don't think they'd kick one out of bed. They are men, after all.

In my experience, they have not "destested" but certainly seem to lack respect, professionally, and can be rather sexist. This is from Muslim MDs, so they are quite well educated.

I do not know if it is cultural, religious, or both.

That depends. My husband and his family personally think that all Western women especially women in the USA are dogs. No they don't fear Western women independence. They don't like the morals of the USA and don't agree with the USA and Western women dressing like girls on music videos naked or half naked and showing off their beauty to strange men. In Islam modesty is important for both men and women and the opposite sexes are not allowed to intermingle or even hang out together unless related by marriage or blood. ALLAH(SWT) did not want men and women to appear like sex objects so that is why men and women in Islam dress modestly to preserve their chastity. Women in the West are acting like bad women by showing off their bodies to men who don't deserve to see their beauty and causing men to cheat on their wives. Maybe if you dress with a halter top or are showing too much skin that is the reason why the Muslim men are avoiding you so they don't fall into temptation and commit Zina(adultery). In Islam Zina can be committed with the eyes as well. Not just the body or by having sex.

I don't think you can generalize by religion.

What country are the muslim men at your place of employment from? If they are Middle Eastern, then chances are the concept of a woman having any power or authority is just plain foreign.

The thing you do to get respect from them is the thing you do to get respect from anyone else - treat them respectfully and don't put up with any nonsense.

you are LUCKY. no offence but where i live, they eye our women up like we are harlots and no offence but i aint no slapper and i dont dress like one and when i see dirty immigrants staring at my ten your old sister and my sister in law it makes my lood run cold. it is degrading. i would rather not deal with them at all than lower myself to making an effort to be sociable. and i wouldnt work with them if they had an attitude to me - in fact i wouldnt work with them based on my own principles.
i am sorry, but it is wrong how muslim men feel they can intimidate women of their own religion and now in our western countries even though this isnt their land.
dont take their sh*t - ignore them and report the attitude to your boss - unless hes muslim too - then you're best just moving jobs because you deserve better.
i admire that you are trying to bow to them and mix - but why should you have to give way for them? you need to re - evaluate and stand up for yourself not give in and put on an act so as to please these bullies who call themselves men. i have no respect for most muslim men, because they have no respect for the female sex as a whole.

Good luck to you on trying to get along with them. I think you'd have an easier time holding the wind in your fists than of getting them to change what are obviously deeply ingrained beliefs which causes their behavior.
Rigid, unable to adapt. This is what certain groups are like, and they want to have it their way everywhere.
