Let's All Convert to Islam - No Just Stick With Me a Bit

I've only ever interacted face-to-face with one Muslim person, a Saudi Arabian man named Ahmed Al-Saif from Riyadh, who was studying at the university in the town where I was living at the time.

I was outside my old apartment, and he walked over to me and introduced himself, and told me had just come to my town recently and didn't know anyone yet. I said hello and asked a few polite questions, and found it interesting that one of the first things he asked me was whether or not I was a Jew. I told him that I am a believer in Jesus, and he seemed fine with that.

After that night, we talked fairly often, and he invited me over for a home-cooked, Arab meal. Food? Oh heck yes, I am always down with the vittle action. Of course, I thanked him and agreed to come.

The apartment where he was staying was entirely bare of furniture, and the meal was spread out over some Arab newspaper on the floor. I plopped my butt down on the floor and proceeded to enjoy a delicious meal of chicken, rice, flat bread, and green Arab coffee with dates for afters. It was amazing - the guy could COOK - and, if that meal was any indication, Arab food is delicious.

We spent a lot of time just hanging out, and he gave me a lot of cool swag such as posters of Arabia, and some pamphlets about how Americans and Saudis are working together on various projects, including NASA-related stuff. I never knew there were Saudi astronauts, for example.

Ahmed was smart, funny, respectful, thoughtful, and extremely generous with his time, money, food, hospitality, and gifts, and I really feel richer for having met him. I almost got a chance to meet his wife, Jawhara, who was due to join him in a few weeks, but I had to move around that time and lost touch with Ahmed after that.

I wish everyone could have one-on-one time like this with people from different countries/cultures/religions and just chill, share some good food, and just be kind and respectful to one another. You never know who could turn out to be a really good friend.

If we're going to do it, we might as well go all the way and become transgendered, transracial, pansexual, otherkin, eat ourselves to 400 lbs., and amputate one of our legs.

I am offended by your classist suggestion of not getting fat from eating excessive amounts of cheap unhealthy convenience foods in response to the impoverished state we will relegate ourselves to.

I met a Muslim dude that gave me a mango-yogurt smoothie after I showed him how to use the WWII-era mixer we had in the college cafeteria kitchen. Thing was huge so the batch he made was also huge and he was just passing glasses out and still had plenty left for the international banquet.

He didn't ask me if I were a Jew or not, though. Do you think they would have treated us differently if we were?

I get it. The thing with SJW leftists is this: they love nothing more than an underdog, and to them, Muslims are the underdogs next to Christians, whom the lefties also hate because MORALS and their perception of Christians as EVUL WHYTE MENS WITH POWER and TRUMP LOVING GUN NUTS, or whatever.

Seriously, I think that if the tables were turned and Muslims were the majority and Christians the underdogs/victims, the SJWs would champion them.

Leftists and SJWs are idiots. JMO - YMMV.

You know, I have often wondered that very thing, and the conclusion I came to is the following:

I suspect we probably wouldn't have been as openly welcomed, perhaps, if we were Jewish. I really don't know, and I'll have to leave that to speculation as it's not possible for me to truly know the mind of another.

I find it ironic that the people screaming about Shira law the loudest are Christian fascists who want to do the exact same things as extreme Islamists do (kill the gays, subjgate women, murder folks for having the wrong opinions). I'm afraid of anyone who wants to kill me for having incorrect opinions (this is why SJWs scare me too). Extremism is the same no matter who's doing it, all that changes is who gets herded into the camps.

Besides, anyone with half a brain will worship Satan. He's winning, and don't you want to be on the winning team?

>Satanism
>worship Satan
>worship => believe in

What the fuck is the difference, nigga? You still have the need for a figure that kinda controls or influences your life somehow because you have fear of not controlling your life or something. Geez.
