[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have Muslim friends who don't tell their co-workers their religion because they're afraid of how they'll react.  [/quote]

Religion and politics are generally not good topics in the work place. As an atheist, I don't discuss my lack of religion even among close friends. [/quote]Yes, that makes sense but are you afraid to tell your co-workers that you're an atheist or are you just displaying good manners?[/quote]

Tell your Muslim friends to acquire good manners and not to discussed their religion out of good manners. As to the fears, we all have our fears and we all dealing with them. If they can't handle it on their own, they can seek counseling. [/quote]

I doubt they are going around "discussing" their religion with others unless they are asked a question. I am Jewish and I never bring up the fact that I'm Jewish at work. However, people ask me questions about it. Like "isn't it your holiday soon? What's that called again? What's it for? What's the appropriate thing to say?" Am I supposed to not answer? It actually does make me a little uncomfortable but I'm not going to decline to answer a direct question that is harmless and comes from an honest inquiry, rather than malice.

And if two Muslims are talking to each other about Muslim topics, by the way, that's their right to do so even if it counts as "discussing" their religion. Sorry if you can't handle it.[/quote]
