[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much I don't understand I guess (and I'm not anti-Islam). I normally meet my neighbors when walking my dog (exercise and a reason to be outside). It's a super friendly neighborhood and we'll talk for hours. My Muslim neighbors (there are 3 houses, so not just one family) used to literally run from me, cross the sidewalk to not be on the same side as me. I did know that their kids were extremely afraid of my small dog, but I didn't realize it was the issue with the adults. Turns out I was told that Muslims view dogs as unclean. My dog is pretty laid back and doesn't jump on people or even act interested.

Anyways, just thought that I had crazy rude neighbors for years.

I was involved in my HOA's social committee for years as well. We had trouble getting the Muslims to come to our socials because we served wine and beer (and they said they wouldn't attend because of that). So we had a few dry socials and low and behold, no one else would show up for those either. [/quote]

They are all different. ;)  My family doesn't view dogs as unclean. And they won't drink alcohol, but they have no problem being around people who do. Some people won't eat anything that wasn't butchered by a halal butcher. Some people just avoid pork and say a blessing over their food, and then consider it halal. The 20 something girls in my family wear tight jeans and headscarves. Or no headscarves at all (personally I get that more than the tight jean headscarf combo). Other Muslim girls start wearing headscarves and loose abayas at puberty.

But in any event, it was really nice of you to try being inclusive! That is heartwarming to me. [/quote]
