Ok I have this friend who has very strict muslim parents, but she is not religious at all, and is FAR from a muslim. Anyways, I think her parents have inflicted some serious ****** and prejudiced attitudes in her mind. She knows I’m not religious, and I have told her many times that I think religion should not be considered a race, but a belief, and that you are not “born” jewish or muslim or anything. By the way, my father is half jewish, but doesn’t practice the religion and such. So once in a while she’ll laugh at some stupid jewish stereotyped joke, or say, “that’s sooo jewish of you, hahahahah”. But the other day, I had the last straw. What happened was we were in a car, and I saw a volvo and said, “my dad used to have one when I was little”, and she said, “what? I thought your family had money?” what the hell, right? who asks that kind of question? so then I said, “well, we were well off, but we were modest spenders, etc.” Then, while I stay silent, she starts laughing like she heard the funniest thing ever. I asked her what was so funny, and she said, “because your jewish! jewish people are sooo cheap like that hahahah.” then I got in a small argument with her, but stopped because I realized how difficult it is to change a religiously prejudiced person’s mind. So I think her parents have made her like this, but I really don’t know. So is it the fact that they’re muslim that has caused a hatred of jews in their family?
Let me also make this clear, I do not consider myself jewish. So her hating my “religion” doesn’t make sense. That’s what bothers me the most. It’s like she wants me to be jewish just so she can make fun of me.
To JAL:
I’m sorry to say this, but it is people like you who start the stereotypes. Just because some horrible jewish government in Israel has caused damaged to a muslim country, does not mean ALL jewish people are like this! Those people are BRAINWASHED from a young age to **** and kill. Do you think a jewish man from los angeles would have these same intentions?
But again, I do not consider myself jewish. And my friend doesn’t consider herself muslim. Her parents are very muslim, so I was wondering if that was the reason she hates jewish people so much. I also know a few other muslims that put down jewish people, so I hope I don’t sound like i’m stereotyping as well.
We want to know what you think!
