and we wonder
I just saw a disgusting display of complete disrespect towards another human being.
Im sitting quietly in the Study Center at my college and there are about 7 people in here, some strewn across couches sleeping, others reading, others studying -- anyway, 3 people (two young men and one young woman) came in quietly and made a little open section to themselves on one side of the room -- but even though they were quiet they did attract attention because one of the men had a big long beard, and the girl was wearing the traditional muslim headdress.
They started praying quietly on the rugs they brought with them, facing East.
I had never seen muslims pray at sunset, so naturally i was extremely interested and couldnt tear my eyes from what they were doing.
Honestly its a really beautiful ritual.
So they were quietly doing their thing, and every now and then people would watch them, but nothing disrespectful -- then this blonde girl, your average bleach blonde, sun-bed-tanned, Ugg-boot, Seven Jeans, Newport Beach dwelling whore from Orange County caught my eye and started coughing loudly, and on purpose. I didnt get it at first, i thought she really did have something in her throat, but then she coughed and smiled at me and rolled her eyes at the 3 muslims.
I saw red. I couldnt believe she was so unbelievably disrespectful as to do that, especially being the one who was sitting CLOSEST to them.
I just stared her in the eyes, blank-gazed and looked back at my laptop as i shook my head slowly.
Then she got up and left for a while, but then came back and first thing she said, loud enough so everyone heard it (which wouldnt have to be loud at all because nobody talks in the Study Center) "they're still at it?" like you would say about two animals having sex or doing some kind of degrading act. The proceeded to sit back down next to them and begin to clear her through again. I was about to get up and ask her what her fucking problem was when they finally finished.
As i watched the two men i could see them trying to hide their discomfort and anger, but the girl was having a much harder time hiding it. I could see her sheer discomfort and almost..fear... as she folded her rug at least 10 times over and over. Her eyes looked around ashamed of what she had been doing. i felt absolutely terrible for them at that moment.
I finally understood.
I pictured myself praying in front of a bunch of strangers then having someone be so blatantly disrespectful and prejudiced to my FACE.
I have no idea what i would do.
I pictured myself going through that every single day.
That is bullshit.
For a second i finally understood why the muslims all over the middle east and europe are so angry. Or at least why they could be.
And people wonder why "those people are so angry".
I wanted to punch the blonde whore in the face, but instead decided to take the high-road and went up to the girl and asked her
"excuse me, if you dont mind me asking, what religion are you?" (even though i knew already.)
she smiled at me and said "oh we're muslims."
I just said "oh cool cos i was watching you guys and it was just nice to watch." with a big smile.
I instantly saw the muslim's girl's body-language change and saw her relax a bit.
Then i stared the blonde girl in the eyes as she looked displeased with the fact that i had dared talked to "those people". And i gave her a smug smile.
cunt.
Then she got up and left.
Ignorant people should die.
