my today

96terrano · 20-08-2013, 19:45

now, before i begin, i want the moderators to tell me if anything i said is not approved of, i don't want to offend anyone at all and this is a true story of what happened today

i try to be a kind person

well....to a point, i take back the bad things and thoughts i had and said about Muslim/Arabic people.....here's the story that happened today

right, today, i was in a phone shop getting the screen replaced on my phone, anyway, their was a very good looking Muslim woman standing in front of me..........she just had a Hijab so i could see her face lol,

She was inquiring about having her iPhone sorted as it crashed and went flat, the guy said their was nothing he could do.....sounded a bit lazy to me :/ , looking a bit sad, the girl went.....now...i thought to myself, when i had a iPhone it did the same thing and i sorted it, I left my phone at the shop and went back to the car that was parked just outside the shopping complex , mum was in Tesco's and i had the keys lol.

As i waited in the car listening to the radio, the woman who was turned down in the phone shop was walking past, i thought, sweet, i'll see if i can sort her phone, rolled down the window and said hay, i saw you were having phone problems, she obviously recognized me and seen that i frowned when the guy in the shop said it was buggered...she said yeah, i said i could probably fix it for you if you want, she agreed......now, i'm not a dodgy looking guy a must add, nor do i do anything bad along certain lines...if you know what i mean, also, she is my age, asked her if she wanted to sit in the car as she was standing holding heavy shopping and it's like 10 degrees...i wasn't being weird lol, just a gentleman, plus, we was parked right outside a busy shopping complex too

anyways, i plugged it into the cigarette lighter, the phone that is, chatted to her a bit as the phone taken a charge, re booted it and all was well....she was very thank full, she actually tried to pay me but i refused payment, she was really appreciative

morel off the story, not all people from a different race are like the media try to make out, ok i don't like Burquas as you don't know who's wearing them but the Hijab is actually quite stylish and shows the face

Must add, the expression on mum's face was priceless when she came back to find me with another women in her car lol but she was fine as i informed her of what i was doing ....fixing the lassie's phone

just goes to show, not all Muslims are bad people, and i have seriously reconsidered my thoughts, i'm not in anyway saying what Muslims do is right religion wise and when you hear off all the bombings and suffering going on, but i get the feeling she wasn't that sort of person...i didn't discuss it...for all i know, she could be a atheist

ohh, and we are now Facebook friends

Yes, same here, sad to say, I used to have a rasist side, not now, truth is, we are all the same, just differant up bringings can change us

Don't care who that person is or were they are from, if they're nice, I will help them at any cause, just the way I am

Deano400 · 20-08-2013, 20:05

Are all Muslims supposed to be bad people then ? I didn't know that.

I've met some murderers, paedophiles, and downright nasty people in my time. They were all different, ages, sexes and from different places. They were all bad people.

You are to be commended for your action,the media has a lot to answer for. "only believe half of what you see and nothing of what you read" media wise,just one question in passing would have done the same if it were a bloke that had the same problem and he was of ethnic origin???
