I dont look like the typical Muslim. I'm black and I don't wear a scarf. Whenever I tell people I'm Muslim they are shocked. Like, they don't think Muslims are regular people. FYI we are not all terrorists or oppressive leaders. We believe in the same God as both Christians and Jews: the one and only God. We might call Him by a different name: Allah, but Allah is only the Arabic word for God, just as Jews call God "Yahweh" (sorry if I didn't spell it correctly). I just wish people would take the time to actually understand Islam before they went ahead and judged the people that are a part of the religion. Yes, there are bad people and extremists who call themselves Muslims. Arent there bad people who associate themselves with Christianity and Judaism too? If you can, take the time to read about Islam so if anything, you can just be better informed and aren't just afraid or judgemental. Thanks
