this stuff help fuel the hatred against us muslims. they say stuff like "ohh look the muZlims taking overrrr" when all we're doing is pray. how are we hurting anyone? they could harm us pretty bad when we're in that state, of praying.

but i guess we shouldnt give them arguments against us, aka pray in the way when people need to go abt or something.

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

Smile Oh, just realised what a buzz kill i was... (sos)

just wanted to agree with Lilly as to why we shouldn't give any non-Muslims reason to dislike us/our practices.

I guess it is kinda ruining the whole amazingness Muslim-unity-coolness of the article.

 

Dont give them bad reasons.

Keep the good.
