Yeah, those guys have issues, big time. They didn’t learn shit from all their thousands of years of wisdom of history & literature.

Some of the ones I worked with wigged right the hell out when I converted. I got it form all sides, from the Americans who said, “Oh, so you’re one of them now?” Then there were the Iranians who were all conflicted over it (not all of them, but enough to be a nuisance) and would have periodic outbursts And the Arabs who loved it (three of whom also informed my on my second day, “”We’re very happy you became Muslim, but you do realize that if you ever go back your blood will become halal, right?”). Then there was the religious Iranian guy who on my second week wanted to know if I was going to be Sunni or Shia. Oh, and let’s not forget the wahhabi types.

You have no idea. That’s why I gave up arguing silly crap many years ago. It’s useless, so I just walk away.

I have a challenge I throw at some who ask those insulting questions. “If my choice of faith disturbs you, feel free to complain to your god. Complaining to me will not help you.”
