Even In Rural Quebec, I Am Only Muslim

My mom was Iranian, my dad (white) French Canadian...I was born and raised here but even here, I stand out like sore thumb (I identify as Muslim) but they are much more tolerant than they would be in U.S. Maybe I am wrong. What about your town? Do you look down on Muslims?

I used to be an atheist and for a while quite angry at organised religion of all kinds. I was also very depressed and pessimistic at the time. I don't think it's an accident that these things were intertwined. I'm mentally in a much better state these days and it doesn't bother me at all what people want to believe. Whatever makes people happy.

@Nanori 😱 OMG! TRULY???!!! That's [i]horrible.[/i] And [i]that's[/i] understating it.

With all of our technology, "modern" marvels, intelligence and powers of reason, we're still so primitive.

@tutku Thought so. I’m from the same country as yours. I’m in Europe but every time i visit the country I’m surprised how modern people can be there...so used of media brain washing about muslim countries although some of it is true

@SW-User Well that’s true about city people but I recently moved into a suburb and a neighbor was giving me hell because i’m partly a race ultra nationalists don’t like ☹️ He’s the only person in the city who is like this that i know
