I Am Against Bullying

Now I don't like religion, I make no secret of that fact but I do believe that as long as people keep their beliefs to themselves and don't impose them on others then there should be no problem. Last night, however, I witnessed two older sw christian ladies bullying a muslim teen, name calling and being threateningly rude. This isn't ok and it's exactly why I think religion causes more trouble than it's worth. What I read last night was extreme hypocrisy and spite directed at a girl asking an innocent question and it made me sick, the two of you should be very ashamed of yourselves, you know who you are.

I saw that and admit it was all in very bad taste..she asked a perfectly innocent question and wasn't preaching or pushy at all..

She took what they said without being mean or nasty, shocking behaviour from them.

She was very dignified..I felt very sorry for her..I know some people have strong views about her religion but I wish they would remember not everyone is an extremist..
SW-User
It seems that being religious and nice at the same time is too much for some to take..they had to make a fight where there wasn't one.

@Primnproper: I'm glad SW react quickly to intolerance

I just don't get why people can't be respectful of each other. You can have your own opinions on things but don't bring down others because it doesn't match your own..
SW-User
@InOtterWords: she was reported and banned in a very short space of time, so well done sw 👍
SW-User
@Primnproper: just showing how ignorant she is. Quite proud of the fact that in my extended family we have Atheists, Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Jews and Sikhs

@Primnproper: I guess a little girl is easy prey for them

I just find it so distressing that they have to deal with it.. I understand the reasons behind the high feelings and anger but they need to respect not everyone is a bad Apple..
SW-User
@Primnproper: It really brings out peoples true colours though..I'll be blocking TCL if she ever comes back.
SW-User
@Kuronekko: well I think they thought she was easy prey, but her dignity showed a maturity that the other 2 could never comprehend.

@Kuronekko: she's back already..I try not to block, that's her view but I would make it plain it's not mine and I didn't approve of the way she handled it..
SW-User
@Primnproper: I suppose a block would mean I can't stand up for the people she tries to trash..and I feel I should do that.

@Kuronekko: always better to have one eye open..😜
SW-User
@Primnproper: we all need to watch her
SW-User
@Primnproper: I knew she will be back .. is she under the same name still? If she is, then SW had un-banned her, which is disappointing
