@ibleedcoffee it's hard to believe if all you see is hatred against our religion. But I am very glad you have an open mind & are kind

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@ibleedcoffee I am :) many people think Middle East is scary but when they visit they realise how hospitable & caring Muslims are

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@ibleedcoffee if people were tolerant and accepting of us and were able to distinguish us from extremists, peace would be easier to achieve

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@ibleedcoffee but most Muslims are like me. It's hard to achieve peace when people constantly stigmatise us.

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@NOTALLBIGOT We get asked this a lot. This is explained here with the tafsir (commentary): https://t.co/3sQ2eIQfne

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@NOTALLBIGOT e.g many Asian cultures subjugate women. Islam says women are equal but many Asians ignore this bc they value culture.

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@NOTALLBIGOT but these polls fail to take into account that majority of Muslims are from Asia where they confuse archaic culture w/ Islam

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@NOTALLBIGOT Islam teaches 'only a vile and dishonorable man disrespects women.' And that women are equal.

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@NOTALLBIGOT @ibleedcoffee Pew research also pointed this out: https://t.co/8Y5HhjsIWZ

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@ibleedcoffee but remember the good people always outnumber the bad. There are more peaceful Muslims out there than bad guys :)

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@ibleedcoffee I know there are some people who use Islam to do evil things. Like the KKK use Christianity as an excuse. Evil people are evil

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@ibleedcoffee thank you :) I hope you're able to see past the demonisation in the media. We don't wish harm on any of you. Trust me

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@NOTALLBIGOT @ibleedcoffee we won't try to convert you. In the UK Christians visit mosques and they are offered tea & we play football

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@NOTALLBIGOT @ibleedcoffee if you talk to Muslims you'd realise we are friendly people. Visit a mosque sometime you're always welcome.

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@NOTALLBIGOT @ibleedcoffee this poll data is usually skewed. Even the people who come up with these statistics admit it.

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@ibleedcoffee @NOTALLBIGOT ISIS are our enemies too. Kurdish Muslims are fighting them. We hate terrorists just as much as you

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@ibleedcoffee @NOTALLBIGOT I know you see terrorists like ISIS on the news. It's scary. But ISIS kill Muslims too & they blow up our mosques

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@ibleedcoffee @NOTALLBIGOT thank you. You seem like a nice person too. I wish you'd understand Muslims are not your enemies

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@ibleedcoffee they do assimilate peacefully. In the UK, Muslims are the biggest charity givers. And majority of doctors there are Muslim

[fi. @xknottedbellex]

@ibleedcoffee misinformation? Yet I've given you historic facts and actual references from the Qur'an and ahadith to support my points
