[quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima]I don't think there should be a "typical look'' for a religion. However, as you have noticed a lot of people like to judge and discriminate based on how you look or what they think you should look/do. You should just ignore them and teach your kids that they are an integral part of that faith and make them feel as comfortable as can be so that they grow up with a tough skin and feeling part of the religion even if they look "different", or maybe find other members who look like them so they don't feel so alone[/quote]

Christians and muslims come in just about any ethnicity because of their long history of converting people through proselytizing or conquest. Religions that haven’t actively engaged  in those kinds of conversion techniques though the centuries don't have much ethnic diversity, so of course members of those religions are surprised to see people with the same beliefs who look different.  I wouldn't call it discrimination, just surprise.[/quote]
