Hey homey...

I was fascinated by the term "home-grown terrorist". I've been called that a bit recently.

Apparently being Muslim is enough to convince people that I am thirsting to kill.

Hard not to get cynical and frustrated in a world where I am now not just condemned for being Arab (I'm not - I just happen to be born looking like I am, which is hardly my fault!), but for being female (women are still not treated with equality - even in the West), and now for being Muslim. I am " a malignant cancer" on the Earth, and I should be "eradicated". I was told to go home, quite a lot recently (I was born here, where should I go?). Then while defending lebanese civilians rights I was told if I care so much, I should go there - I would, except the lovely Israeli gentleman have bombed the airport, blocked the ports, and I cant afford the trip anyway.

Tell me, when people say this to others - do they really think it will make us (muslims) turn round and hug them and want to integrate more? This blind hate of "others" and those that are "different" is why the world is in chaos.

I am a British Muslim - get used to it. I love my country. I love my religion. They are both a part of me. You cannot divide me, us, up and say thats British and thats Muslim - I am both. Britain the land of my birth. Kashmir the land of my ancesters, my heritage. Islam in my way of life. There are no clashes of culture - because like most young Brits - I make my own. We make our own. We are your future - u might want to treat us better.

So,
How many people hate/dislike Muslims and Islam???
