Christianism almost killed me yesterday
Yesterday, I experienced one of the worst acts of savagery that I could ever had thought of.
I always have to take the bus to go home from school, and yesterday was no exception. It was raining heavily and I had no umbrella, but I didn’t mind. The bus arrived, I got in and took a seat. Everything fine. Soon, the bus got quite crowded, and there were no places to sit. An elderly lady got on the bus and I gave her my seat as an act of kindness. She wore a wooden cross around her neck and had this expression that made her look like the kind of lady that would do anything for anyone. A few blocks later, a lot of the people in the bus got down and I got to take a seat in front of this lovely granny. I got bored and decided to take out my Qur’an… oh, how innocent I was… “Terrorista.” (Terrorist.), I heard. “Disculpe?” (Excuse me?) “A vos, pedazo de mierda terrorista asesina…” (You, piece of murderer, terrorist scum…) “Me confunde, señora, los Musulmanes no somos terroristas.” (You are mistaken, lady, we Muslims aren’t terrorists.) “Ah, no… y la cantidad de gente que muere por ustedes, pedazos de mierdas…” (Oh, right… how about the people that die because of you, you scoundrels?) “Señora, es un error, vea–” (Madam, it’s a mistake, you see–) And she knocked the book off my hands. I got to the floor to reach for it and her heel pierced trough my hand. I instinctively tried to get on my feet, and she pushed me (she wasn’t very strong, but I couldn’t do much to her either). She pulled my hair and my striped neckerchief (I wear it as a replacement of the Hijab I should wear). She kicked my bag around and opened it, inspecting it for ‘bombs’. Then -and I still feel dirty while writing this- she proceeded to tug at my clothes and fondle me in a most indecent way, also looking for ‘dangerous objects’. All the while, the other people in the bus just stared, not moving a finger to stop this calamity. When she was done with me, she took my bag and threw it off the bus trough the window, and then she pushed me out trough the door. I fell in the pavement, and then, only then, the only person with the heart to help me showed up. A guy in a bike helped me getting up and gathering my stuff. He gave me a band-aid and stayed with me until I stopped crying. I had to walk the remaining 15 blocks to my home under the rain, limping and sobbing, and then explain my mother what happened. She is truly horrified.
Not only I lost my Qur’an, a sketchbook half-full of precious drawings and my neckerchief, but my dignity and trust as well.
Now, I want to ask… why?
Was that hate neccessary? Why the intolerance? Why this wrong stereotype? Why… the ignorance of the people?
I truly hope nobody experiences what I have felt that moment… it is horrible… and not even my worst enemy deserves it…

Wow, so much is wrong about this.
It doesn’t sound like Christianity almost killed you, it sounds like you were mildly annoyed by an illegal alien. Welcome to Obama’s America.
And she pushed you out through the door? This elderly lady? Do you have the rickets?
Genesis 16:12 about Muslim descendants of Ishmael
“He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers”

Wow, it sounds like you would have done the exact same thing to this girl. That’s just fucking horrible.
“It doesn’t sound like Christianity almost killed you, it sounds like you were mildly annoyed by an illegal alien.”
Yes, because surely a woman assaulting her, rummaging through her things, coppin’ a feel, and throwing her things out of the window, then finally dumping her outside of the bus is just ‘mildly annoyed’. Oh, and how nice of you to assume that the old woman was an illegal. Hell, you’re just one big ol’ ball of hate, aren’t you?
“Welcome to Obama’s America. ”
Yes, let’s blame all the problems of Americans on Obama, surely that will solve things! Fucking prick.
“And she pushed you out through the door? This elderly lady? Do you have the rickets?”
She was on a bus filled with people who weren’t getting involved, probably because they were siding with the old lady. Odds are if she threw a punch, she would’ve been mobbed instantly, probably raped on the bus as well, then stabbed. If it didn’t get that severe, it STILL wouldn’t have helped the situation out at all.

Again, that’s racism, pure and simple. Just because someone’s a Muslim, does not mean they’re a terrorist. Do you even understand what that word means anymore?

I AM from Argentina, I LIVE in Argentina and so did this woman. No ‘illegal aliens’ here. We’re talking about people from the same country with the same rights. And I’m grateful that this happened in my country, because if it happened in YOUR hateful country, I probably wouldn’t be writing this.
But, according to your logic ‘I’m a Muslim and I am always a threat, no matter what I do or where I am.’. Does the fact of having a religion with almost the same beliefs but different name make me deserver of such harsh treatment? Sure, that woman attacks another Christian and it’s violence, but if she attacks a Muslim it’s self-defense. Oh, and if a Christian attacks someone it’s just ‘an outburst’, but if a Muslim punches someone, it is ‘a religious fanatic wanting to kill for Allah’.

With all due respect, us Christians don’t really get away with much. Most of use are pretty normal, but there’s always that one idiot *cough* Westboro Baptist Church *cough* that gives the rest of us a bad rep. Personally, I think we all ought to maybe NOT punch each other.
However, if you were actually in such a situation, you really need to learn self defense. Google basic karate kicks and punches.

You are lucky to be alive!
To read the Qu’ran without washing first is a form of blasphemy. While you didn’t mention it, Nogalina, were you having your period? If you were, you should most likely be stoned to death for touching the Qu’ran will in an unclean state. In any case, your story reveals you most likely defiled the Qu’ran, so your righteous indignation is an act of vanity.
If this story is true, the woman was most likely searching your bag for tampons or reacting in a outlandish behavior to save your sorry blaspheming hind-end from other more devout Muslims on the bus. Thank goodness this kind woman could see through your ignorance.
While all the evidence you present to condemn this elderly woman as a Christian is a cross around her neck, you provide ample evidence that you are a liar.

I think that many will consider your casual treatment of the Qu’ran blasphemy. You should make formal ablutions before handling the Qur’an or reading from its text. Washing with alcohol? You are a demon in the eyes of many.
No wonder she was calling you a terrorist!
It is the inviolability of the Qur’an (for REAL MUSLIMS, not Liars>:
1. not to touch the Qur’an except in the state of ritual purity in wudu, and to recite it when in a state of ritual purity;
2. to brush one’s teeth with a toothstick (siwak), remove food particles from between the them, and to freshen one’s mouth before reciting, since it is the way through which the Qur’an passes;
3. to sit up straight if not in prayer, and not lean back;
4. to dress for reciting as if intending to visit a prince, for the reciter is engaged in an intimate discourse;
5. to face the direction of prayer (qiblah) to recite;
6. to rinse the mouth out with water if one coughs up mucus or phlegm;
7. to stop reciting when one yawns, for when reciting , one is addressing one’s Lord in intimate conversation, while yawning is from the Devil;
8. when begining to recite, to take refuge from in Allah from the accursed Devil and say the Basmala, whether one has begun at the first surah or some other part one has reached;
9. once one has begun, not to interrupt one’s recital from moment to moment with human words, unless absolutely necessary;
10. to be alone when reciting it, so that no one interrupts one, forcing one to mix the words of the Qur’an with replying, for this nullifies the effectivness of having taken refuge in Allah from the Devil at the beginning; You were on a Bus, for pitty sake!
If I put the reference link on here you could be targeted for jihad by angry Muslims, Nogalina. For the second time this week, an old Christian lady is pulling your sorry lying hind end out of the fire of lies you weave.

Something like that happened to me recently. I was visiting a friend down town to go to the museum, and as parking down there is so horrible, I took a MARTA bus (Atlanta’s mass transit). While on the bus a young afro-muslim thug with his pants half down and greasy dreadlocks draped over the seat in front of me started speaking in tongues while reading some book with that terrorist language on it. I leapt into action and started furiously smiting him with my cane.

You DO realize that a LOT of religions are connected to effectively the same god, right? It’s just the name he goes by and the prophets that are mostly different. It’s like ‘soda’ and ‘pop’ Same thing, different names. It’s the same word in another language. Look at the word ‘rise’. Then look at the spanish version (for lack of a better word): ‘Aumento’. Both are literally the same word, they just look vastly different because they’re in two different languages.

And you’ve gone and talked to every single Muslim in the world and found this out?

Then why are you arguing that they aren’t the same god? The link you even provided said the texts say that Christians, Muslims, and Jewish people worship the same god, it’s just who goes into heaven being put up to question, and considering how YOUR book states that only YOUR kind will go to heaven, it’s pretty much the exact same thing, just swap out ‘Muslim’ with ‘Christian’ and there’s not one real difference.
“If you compare the Holy Bible and The filthy Quran it is obvious that it is NOT THE SAME GOD they have completly different attributes.”
Yes, the God of the Holy Bible states that sinners must be punished while the God of the Quran states that sinners must be punished. The God of the Holy Bible states that only the worshipers of that religion will ascend to heaven if they practice the word, while the God of the Quran states that only the worshipers of that religion will ascend to heaven if they practice the word.
Two entirely different books to be sure (and because I know you’re thick-headed, that was a sarcastic comment).
“They have some similarities because the writers of the filthy Quran PLAGIARIZED the Bible.”
Then everyone since the bible was first written has plagiarized it, considering the number of edits, inserts, removals, and translation changes that have take place.
“The Islam is a FALSE RELIGION founded by a pedophile prophet that worships a demon that calls himself “Allah”.”
A ‘pedophile prophet’? Did you forget that the average birthing age not even 500 years ago was around 13? When you compare the age of the girl that he married back then to a girl married today, it’s pretty much the equivalent of marrying a 16 or 17 year old when you’re 20-25. It’s a bit of a gap, but nothing unreasonable. You want to just point a finger and call him a pedophile when Jesus’ own mother was 14 when she gave birth to him. 14! And you want to call the Muslim prophet a pedophile? At least he didn’t knock up a girl for the sole purpose of giving birth to the savior of the world. That’s what your God decided to to. Oh, and you’re thinking of ‘Muhammad’, not ‘Allah’ as the prophet, because Allah is quite literally GOD. Thanks to your own religion AND what you just said, you just called GOD A PEDOPHILE TWICE OVER.

Social norms you idiot. Back then, people lived to be around 50-80, if you were lucky and in EXTREMELY good health. With today’s medicine and health, it’s unlikely to find someone who died of old age prior to the age of 90. Back then they had to have the girls give birth early, the very idea of pedophilia is rather new, all things considered. You’re nothing more than an ignorant fool if you can’t even realize that. Not only that, did you completely forget how old Mary was when she gave birth to Jesus? I did say she was 14, and your own god was the one who impregnated her. Today, yes, pedophilia is wrong, but back then the people were worried about making sure there was a future generation rather than question the concept of girls giving birth at such young ages.

And L.N., quite frankly, God does scare me in the Old Testament. But as for the forgiveness and atonement part, well, that’s where he sent Jesus. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice that paid for everyone’s sins and stopped the animal sacrifices.
I don’t understand everything the Bible says. I’m pretty sure no one does. But what I do know is that I have and will continue to believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose again.
