I am sorry for the hatred the author faced. I have friends in Pakistan and a few other dominantly Muslim countries. America is very diverse, and that is a two-sided coin. On one hand, we are filled with people who accept and fight for the rights of Muslims, and on the other there are (what I hope are a minority) of people who are anti-Muslim. As someone who grew up a Jew (but no longer practices), I faced a lot of ridicule simply for being a Jew (my case is trivial, but to my next point...). I learned to ignore it - the people who look down on you are not those whose opinions are worth evaluating.
EDIT: I'm an idiot - I did not realize that the article was a satire. :)
- digitalnomad 13y agoThe blogger is actually pointing out that America is a very accepting and safe place for muslims in comparison to Pakistan. If you click the links in his post where he references events you will see that they all actually occur in Pakistan.
- jey 13y ago> for muslims Specifically, the subgroup of Ahmadi Muslims.
- digitalnomad 13y agoAh true. Thanks ;)
- frankydp 13y agoThe article was satire, if that is what you would call it. That being said what do you call this style of writing, where the context is purposefully inverted?
- gavanwoolery 13y agoI apologize for my misunderstanding! I did not gather that from the article, I should have read the links as well.
