White chick: " Do you thinks its weird that you're a practicing Muslim who snowboards?"

the RIGHT Answer: "WTF? Are you serious with that question? Or are you missing some marbles?"

[VegetarianDatabase]

no worries! yeah i got your point, and agree :)

You're right, I dont know if she's white or not... that was an assumption on my part. A generalization that I myself stand against. My apologies... but you get the point I was making, right?

[VegetarianDatabase]

how do you know she's white?

anyway, i agree. but then again if she didn't ask that question, the documentary implies it. whats the point of sensationalising a snowboarding muslims? clearly this documentary is for people who have no experience of muslims or live under a rock, and probably made my such people!

We have enoying people like this in Britain my example for instance those guys didn`t need to break out the prayer mat in the middle of the car park and start praying they could have alreadt done that in privacy but they chose to do it in public to enoy people and get attention like in the uk after 7/7 sudenly every muslim that travelled by tube wore a back pack
