[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Muslim woman, and I wear my scarf proudly. Last year, I went to attend our office manager's husband funeral at a baptist church. There were few people who seemed to be all related to the deceased man. The priest started his speech calling for non- believers to convert, and went on saying if you think your Muhammad will save you from hell you are wrong and you will burn and that is okay to feel shy and not raise your hand to accept Jesus as your savior, but you should think about it.. It was an ackward situation, I felt the entire speech was directed at me. I was the only Muslim in that funeral so Duh. I still remained calm, although I was tempted to raise my hand and correct some of his facts about Islam- but I decided not to out of respect for the family of the deceased. I had to remind myself that I chose to be in that church so I just have to zip it till end of service. At the end, I went and gave my condolences to our office manager and she was shocked to see me and asked if I were present during entire service- I smiled and said yes but don't worry about it.

Well, as a Catholic, I've had other religions put on the guilt trip here to. Not just Christians. Others. That's what we call tolerance. Thank you for being a tolerant Muslim. You did the right thing. I'm sure everyone was thinking the speaker was an ass and glad you did not join him.  [/quote]
