| Is it ok to hate muslims when it comes to dating?
Posted: 8/5/2007 5:01:16 AM | Growing up there was an Iranian kid who went to our school, and while their family was not strict muslim, the kid's mother was treated horribly by both her son and the husband. She was a regular, if somewhat heavy, blond American.... but she took some of the most vile and abusive languge from her son (who simply called her "sue"... and yelled at her if she wasn't on time to pick him up) I could not imagine spending my life with someone who degraded me in public, let alone taught my son that I was worthless too....
Don't get me wrong, I've also known some (not so strict) muslim women who were treated very well by their families... and yes, men from all cultures are capable of verbal abuse... but I think from that early experiance I can understand why a woman might be scared to get involved with some one that can be associated with a culture that in some cases has proved degrading to women.
So for me, it would not be a question of religious belief, but rather a general attitude that one had towards women that would be important. people who are not willing to find out what "flavor" you really are in regards to religion... isn't worth the time anyway. | |

Unbelievable...
So all Muslim's should be judged by the actions of a few?? By that logic then every catholic should be seen as a pedophile and all christians as power hungry murderers....
Why not judge the person standing before you as opposed to what you have been told about his/her religion, race, sexual orientation.... ????? Apparently a novel idea... I don't quite find it as unbelievable. Have you dated a muslim? obviously not, you all would have braged about otherwise. It's easy to prevaricate in this forum, but when it comes to real life, would you really date a muslim? just don't kid yourself, that's all I'm asking.
Anyways....not much to say after that, except to again wish you luck in finding the one for you...just remember we are all different and we don't all think the same...okay? OK. it wouldn't take that much effort to figure out I'm married. OK?
'm married to the most handsome , inelligent, and kind-hearted man I'v ever seen in my entire life. So, yeah admittedly I have had some luck finding the one. oh he is israeili by the way.
No, but I have heard of so-called Christians who blow up abortion clinics and shoot doctors under the guise that they are protecting life. Kind of funny, if you ask me.
There can be extremists in almost any religion, but that doesn't mean the actions of a few speak for the whole.
The acion of a few????? just to let you know turkey is the only islamic country that does not approve of Hezzbollah, and turkish people are the only major muslims in a country that do hate hezzbollah infact. So I think stating "the action of a few" might be so accurate.
AND don't tell me too much about christianity. Bible is the second most bloody book ever written ( the first one is quran of course). But here is m question for you, all christianity's religous wars happened in sixteen and seventeen century at the very same time that muslims were as well jehadding against christians. all those religous wars in europe ceased and was proven to be stupid and useless.What about islamic Jehad??? I think muslims are waaaaay too stupid to figure out the same with their Jehad. They either deny what jehad really is ,no matter what their pervert prophet did or they deny to accept that most muslims still do believe in Jehad. | |

Have you dated a muslim? No, I haven't, what is your point?
If I HAD dated a muslim and things didn't go well, I certainly would not generalize an entire religion/race because of that ONE experience... that would be pretty small minded...
but when it comes to real life, would you really date a muslim? I have already stated once in this thread that I would prefer to date a muslim over an atheist or christian bigot any day... provided he wasn't on the extreme end of things, which in case it is news to you, IS actually possible
just don't kid yourself I'm not kidding anyone, and I think your show of prejudism is far from humorous.
As others have said OP, not everyone thinks that way... please remember that | |

Um....just for clarification purpose, I was addressing the OP and not you when I wrote the following:
Anyways....not much to say after that, except to again wish you luck in finding the one for you...just remember we are all different and we don't all think the same...okay?
I was wishing HIM luck and reminding HIM that indeed, we do not all think alike....and yes, I HAVE dated a muslim, in fact I've dated two....it was certainly no different than dating a christian...or a jew...or a catholic....or anyone else who happens to belong to a particular faith/belief system...all religions are of equal value to an atheist.

all religions are of equal value to an atheist.
How strange considering that religion has to do with beliefs not just limited to belief in God. Every individual is different of course and there are different branches to each religion which is why it's good to keep an open mind about a person, but at the same time one should be aware that certain positive or negative attributes may be more likely to show up in a person because of a certain religious upbringing or because of a religion they belong to.
Most men who who are fundamentalist Christian or Muslim would be less able to accept a woman being independent than someone who is a Wiccan.
OldSoul, another oddity. According to your Atheistic belief shouldn't it be NoSoul? | |

Posted: 8/11/2007 9:09:55 AM | Assuming you are correctly identifying the reason those girls are ending conversing with you. In other words – if it is really your name that is making those chicks (as you put it) running away from you – then IMO it is not necessarily a bad thing, because you are saving yourself time dealing with some dumb fools.
Some folks are naturally stupid but there are others who decide to stay ignorant. For them their ignorance is an acquired trait. You can try to enlighten them but in the end they will stay blind.
Practices such as “Stereotyping”, “Scapegoat-ing”, “Prejudice” and “Discriminating” are WRONG!! But fools don’t realize that and some bigger fools don’t even realize when they practice it!!
Examples of such bad practice:
Stereotyping: All Muslims are terrorist.
Prejudice: I don’t like Muslims. I won’t date them!
Discrimination: Muslims aren’t allowed in my house/ my shop/ my neighborhood.
Scapegoat-ing: Muslims are the reason the price of gas went up.
Ignorance comes in all shape and size. One can be a rocket scientist and yet be ignorant about social/ religious matters. A woman can have a doctoral degree and yet be a prejudice individual when it comes to dealing with certain people of different background.
It may seem to you that - you have less fish to interact with but if you do find someone – chances are - she would be a smarter, enlightened and open-minded individual.
Good Luck in your search!!
p.s.
Thought I should address some of the other stuff you wrote in your opening post.
By OP:
“I guess you can call me a nonpracticing muslim.”
I do not understand when people claim to be a non-practicing anything. I don’t practice any religion and don’t claim to be part of any world known religion. I don’t think a non-practicing Muslim, Christian or Jew or of any other faith system - should claim to be a non-practicing (X).
By OP:
“I have experienced that almost all girls that I meet here suddenly end communication once they find out my name (which is clearly a muslim name)”
If you are non-practicing and wouldn’t mind dating individuals who have little and wrong knowledge regarding Islam/ Muslims – then – legally changing name may solve your problem. Just a thought!! 
By OP:
“My question is what to do in this situation and how to deal with people who judge me without even giving me a chance?”
If disregarding them or legally changing your name is not an option – then send them emails and try to educate them. Who knows!! You might succeed!!! Or maybe not!!

OldSoul, another oddity. According to your Atheistic belief shouldn't it be NoSoul?
A soul is.....
- the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life
- a person's total self
- the moral and emotional nature of human beings / the quality that arouses emotion and sentiment
-spiritual or moral force
And here's a brief definition of what an old soul is, taken from the oldsoul poetry forum...
Old Souls.....
".... those who see things more deeply than the rest, who find themselves alone, even when surrounded by friends....whose gaze often time is turned in..."
My atheism comes at the end of a long spiritual journey....I was raised in a very loving traditional catholic home and attented a catholic school .... both my parents are devout practicing catholics who still attend church regularily and find much confort in their faith....I have read the bible in it's entirety twice, both in french and in english, and I have also read most of the koran...I have been studying religions/faith/ belief systems as a hobby for as long as I can remember and it is a great passion of mine...as I am forever looking to find MY answers....it is a gross injustice for anyone to classify all atheists in the same group....I do not personally believe in the god(s) of the bible....but I do not preach to anyone....I do not ever try to convince anyone of what I believe to be the truth as I do not claim to know the truth myself......the only time I come on here and talk about my atheism is to defend/clarify my position.
I care and feel deeply for all of us, and I feel a very deep connection to the rest of my fellow human beings....I sometimes *feel* that connection so strongly that I am often unable to function properly when I see the suffering of others....I often think that I can't take it anymore and that my heart will explode and that my soul will simply die....and I sometimes fear I will lose my sanity .....I weep for the fate of humankind, and I have ever since I was a little girl....I don't know why I am this way and I wish I could be *normal* like the *rest* but I am not....maybe it's the way my brain is *wired* who knows.....all I know for sure is that I have ALWAYS been this way....I have always *felt* things on a very deep level, and I have always felt a tremendous amount of love and empathy for all of mankind....
Not all atheists are the same, as we only share one thing in common and that is the lack of a belief in a deity/god.....besides that one thing, we are all different...we come from all kinds of different backgrounds and we all have our own reasons to be who where we are today....as I have stated in a previous post on another tread, my atheism was NOT a choice for me....whether people believe that or not really doesn't matter to me anymore ....actually that's a bit of a lie as it does hurt me still when I see or read of all the generalizations that are made about atheists/agnostics...stuff like we have no souls (no self?!?), we don't feel, we're selfish, we only want a life free of responsability for our actions....we only care for our own pleasures...etc...
I assure you that for me, nothing could be further from the truth..in fact for me it's quite the opposite....so yes, I admit to still being deeply hurt for anyone to assume to know what's inside of me....if only people knew what I feel inside....but then that might require someone to want to listen.
Anyways, I've said enough although I feel I've said nothing....and in the end it really doesn't matter, does it?
People will continue to pass judgements on people like me....without ever taking the time to get to know what's on their mind and in their heart....meanwhile I'll continue down my lonely path....always being made to feel like a second class citizen...a reject of society....a lost soul...and if this sounds a bit dramatic it's because it simply is ....and it's a damn shame too...
Love and peace to us all...

Posted: 8/11/2007 11:33:18 AM | You should be proud of your faith, not ashamed of it. 
Islam's a great religion, and that some cast doubts on it because of the actions of a few is wrong. Every religion's got it's fanatics, and Islam's no different. You should no more be judged by them, then they should be judged by you, based on your respective faiths.
Anyone that doesn't accept who you are, and what you believe in, has no place in your life. In my view, that's between your God and you. As long as you don't try to tell me how to live my life, I will respect you and do the same. | |

I think it means they believe in the basic beliefs if that religion and it's moral code but they don't go to church, temple etc. or do the rituals. | |

Posted: 8/11/2007 2:25:34 PM | @"Beautifulsoul"
I weep for the fate of humankind, and I have ever since I was a little girl....I don't know why I am this way and I wish I could be *normal* like the *rest* but I am not....maybe it's the way my brain is *wired* who knows.....all I know for sure is that I have ALWAYS been this way....I have always *felt* things on a very deep level, and I have always felt a tremendous amount of love and empathy for all of mankind.... I believe that is because you are more in touch with your soul than many others... it is easy to read a book and spout a bunch of pedantic crap to make yourself feel superior in an egotistical manner, but to actually be connected to that part of you which is connected to God (IMO)... well only the chosen few even get there...
And who wants to be normal? Not me! Lol....
Some people seem to have only made an appearance in this thread in order to take shots at others or to simply perpetuate even more prejudism...
You have done neither, you simply wanted to reassure a man who believes he has been experiencing prejudism that not all people think that way... I still think you have a beautiful soul.. and I hope that means something | |

Old Souls.....
".... those who see things more deeply than the rest, who find themselves alone, even when surrounded by friends....whose gaze often time is turned in..."
I was seeing that term as meaning an actual living timeless soul, a being who is aware of past incarnations, or the life they had before they were born on Earth. Typically atheists don't believe in such things, an astral world, a life which existed before our birth on Earth and which will continue after our death. I do have a friend who although she doesn't believe in God does believe in spiritual and psychic forces. When discussing things in a public forum one starts with generalities but I am aware there are distinctions among individuals and I also trusted that you would put me straight on your individual distinct nature and correct any general assumptions I had about how your atheism is expressed through you.
....it is a gross injustice for anyone to classify all atheists in the same group....
There are certain generalities one can make about groups of people that will be more than likely to be true. One can safely assume that someone who calls themselves Christian will believe that Christ died for the redemption of mankind. BUT, there are exceptions. Within this forum I have come across many atheists claiming there is not only no such thing as God, but going out of their way to say there is no such thing of anything which would be considered spiritual or supernatural. By spiritual I don't mean inner workings, I mean manifestations which come from an unseen plane of reality which can manifest in this world through various means, prayer, Witchcraft, visualization. The term Old Soul for me has this kind of other-worldly connotation. It was not a gross injustice for me to question you about it, as I knew you were of such character and personality to clarify my confusion. A gross injustice would be for me to hurl a label on you and then not give you a chance to explain or to close my ears and eyes to you.
I care and feel deeply for all of us, and I feel a very deep connection to the rest of my fellow human beings....I sometimes *feel* that connection so strongly that I am often unable to function properly when I see the suffering of others....I often think that I can't take it anymore and that my heart will explode and that my soul will simply die
Does that translate into action for you? Do you try to help alleviate the suffering of others, visit the sick and old, feed the hungry etc? I'm not judging you and saying that you don't, I am just curious if this goes beyond feeling and into action. Of course you don't have to answer, I'm not demanding an answer. As for me I often feel as you do, but I myself do not do enough.
....and I sometimes fear I will lose my sanity .....I weep for the fate of humankind, and I have ever since I was a little girl....I don't know why I am this way
My opinion, and just my opinion. is that you are an empath, not just empathic, but an empath. You are picking up the feelings of others in ways beyond just being sympathetic towards them. You are taking in their energy and need to learn how to separate your energy from theirs. You can care for people without absorbing their energy. I realize you may not believe in this stuff and that is fine, and yes I also realize you don't need my approval for your beliefs or non-beliefs.
....actually that's a bit of a lie as it does hurt me still when I see or read of all the generalizations that are made about atheists/agnostics...stuff like we have no souls (no self?!?)
Oh I believe you have a self and a soul, a living soul that goes on forever. I didn't know what the world soul meant to you and was confused and knew you would clear it up for me. Although it isn't entirely clear to me. Do you believe in an actual soul which can live apart from your physical life? When your body dies do you believe in a soul which goes on without your body? Or is existence just a world of material construction whether dense or not?
I assure you that for me, nothing could be further from the truth..in fact for me it's quite the opposite....so yes, I admit to still being deeply hurt for anyone to assume to know what's inside of me....if only people knew what I feel inside....but then that might require someone to want to listen.
People might find it easier to listen to you if they didn't feel they were walking on egg shells.
Anyways, I've said enough although I feel I've said nothing....and in the end it really doesn't matter, does it?
I think it matters. You matter. Your feelings matter. Your thoughts, beliefs matter. If it didn't matter I would have ignored you.
People will continue to pass judgements on people like me....without ever taking the time to get to know what's on their mind and in their heart....meanwhile I'll continue down my lonely path....always being made to feel like a second class citizen...a reject of society....a lost soul...and if this sounds a bit dramatic it's because it simply is ....and it's a damn shame too...
I am a bit confused. Who is passing judgement? Non-atheists? I am encountering more and more atheists as time goes on, is it really that hard? I don't know. I don't live in a very religious community. It sounds to me as if a part of you is damning yourself and your place in life. Taking your suffering, identifying it as it being you, and making it more than what it should be, bearing your cross. I'm sure you have joy and happiness in your life that you can connect with more. And yes I know, I don't know you, your life, and I can be totally wrong in my assessment and you might not even give a rats ass. That's fine. I just "feel" you can feel a lot less doomed and damned.
As Streisand once said "people who need people are the luckiest...." wait wait wait, that's too corny. Ugh. | |

Funny how some fellow POF members, virtual strangers really.... can reach across the miles and help you see things a little bit clearer....um....so, how much do I owe everyone for this wonderful *session* ?? ....haha!
Back on topic.....haha!!
No it's never okay to hate anyone based on that person's religious beliefs , culture or race........each person is unique and should be *judged* on their own merit only.
Thanks again...

Not only have I heard of it, it's part of their damn scripture. Ever read Judges? The Jewish god explicitly condoned genocide. The Old Testament is in fact chock full of examples of Jews doing terrible things (and/or of their god doing terrible things). | |

Back on topic.....haha!!
Back on topic, it's always something. If the girls weren't dumping you because of your last name it would be for some other reason. Everybody feels there is some prejudice at work when they don't get responses to their profiles or people cease contact with them after seemingly hitting it off. Physically challenged people think it's because of their handicap. Some people think it's because of their race etc. I used to see how the beautiful people on this site and other social sites always had their Favorites section filled and then think "okay I'm not one of the beautiful people". But if you read the forums and profiles you learn that even the beautiful people are having a hard time.
I saw this one guy on here who is gorgeous. He models and has a warm friendly profile. His Favorites section is filled. But in a forum thread he complains on why, if he's so gorgeous as other people say he is, doesn't he get replies to his emails? I've seen beautiful women complain about men adding them to their Favorites list and not getting any contact from them. And I've read many accounts of how people will hit it off in email and phone and so they arrange a date and one of them doesn't show up, or all of a sudden sends a message changing their mind and stopping contact. Or two people hit it off and then all of a sudden one of them disappears.
So whether it's your religion you don't actively practice, or your last name, it's always something. | |

Posted: 8/12/2007 2:52:54 PM | | I have had relationships with muslim men and know that they are very old fashioned in their attitudes. They want control over their women and do not seem to understand the "modern" woman. Even if you do not actually say you are a muslim it is sometimes easy to guess that a man is one. I have surprised many muslim men by revealing I think I know their religion. My mother actually told me she would disown me if I kept seeing muslim men. I am not dating one presently but I told her to stick her Will where the sun dont shine if she felt that way. I fall in love with a person not the religion. Sadly, in this frightening terrorist age you will be judged by some as an extremist whether you are or not. I must say though muslim men who have come to live here seem to find the culture difficult - the women here are independent and do not wish to be controlled by a man, that is alien to a lot of muslim men who are not of this culture. To answer your question though do not try to be something different, be who you are, you cannot base any relationships on lies. I feel I could not have another relationship with a muslim man because their beliefs are too different and unless they are extremely english in their ways could not take the control aspect again. Wishing you every luck in your future though. | |

Posted: 8/12/2007 5:14:22 PM | Ladiesman,
I am sorry that you feel humiliated and frustrated by seemingly being rejected by your muslim background. It is never a good feeling to feel rejected for who you are.
I wonder though, if those "rejections" were due to prejudice, and perhaps due to them wanting to date within their own culture and feelings of connectiveness (is that a word?). They may not have meant it to be as harsh as you are taking it. Doesn't make you feel any better I know, but maybe by trying to see it differently it won't hurt as much?
There are many people who want to stay within their own culture and religion, and I don't understand why that is automatically called hate? What is wrong with that, I don't get it. OP you didn't say that they stated they hated muslims, right? They just lost interest? I have seen a lot of posts where the question is "what happened, everything seemed to be going good and then no more communication". You aren't alone
And I don't understand what it means to be a "non practicing muslim"? I have heard this phrase "non-practicing catholic" too, and it confuses me. I thought it was a religion, and not an ethnicity. My family was Baptist, but I don't consider myself to be a non-practicing Baptist. That is not my religion so I don't claim it in any way. Just curious! | |

Personally I would rather date a muslim over a christian bigot or atheist any day!! Provided he didn't fall into the extreme end of things that is....
This type of attitude does not suprise me. I have noticed a tremendous amount of aminosity towards Christians in general. I notice this, even though I have no religius affiliation. It's bizarre the way Christians are made out to be a bunch of over-zealous bigots. Did you not know that the majority of Charities, homeless shelters, etc. are run by Christians?
That being said, everyone should have the freedom to believe what they want without being criticized. | |

Posted: 8/17/2007 7:59:51 PM | BACK to the original question...there is another way you could view this OP
It is a great way to screen out women that would be way to closed minded to have an interesting relationship with. Look at it as a filtering system, so you get the real deal that passes through.
Not bad really.
I had a date that went sour the minute he said he was glad I was not "muslim, or some other type of person". That was it for him. curtains. game over. | |

If you aren't a christian bigot why would you even feel the need to comment? I singled out christian bigots because those are the only bigots I have ever dealt with.... and I choose not to date them, regardless of whether he runs a charity or homeless shelter......

Unlike race or nationality, religion is based on values and beliefs. I don't think it's prejudice not to want to date someone or be someone's friend based on their values and beliefs. | |

As a gay man the biggest threat to my civil liberties and freedom to work, live, play, are Christians. It's hard to have a live and let live attitude when many of them don't. I have my beliefs but I'm not translating them into law to block people's freedom to pursue happiness. But yet I still manage to be kind to Christians, hate the sin not the sinner as they say. | |

Posted: 8/19/2007 5:12:28 PM | Dont get upset! Nobody is entitle to judge you for your religion.I know you said you are not a practising muslim but you cannot change what you are.If people are so shallow and cannot give you a chance and judge you upon religion,shame on them!
Dont worry! Is somewhere over there for you too and she wont care if you are muslim or not. | |
