    Religious harassment in my local mall

    Yeah, that's the intention. I got jumped by a gang of rednecks and constantly ridiculed and threatened because I found it "fun". Honestly, I can't tell if you're joking or not....

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    This was more in my previous town than where I am now. I used to live in a backwards, racist, all white/christian/american town.

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    I've learned something. Idiotic banter is a lot funnier when you're not involved with it. Don't tell me what is and isn't harassment. I've been threatened by racist rednecks before for having an "Om" drawn on my guitar. I've been beaten up for wearing mala beads. I've been ridiculed for...

    11 Year Old Devout Athiest

    Why can an 11 year old say they're a devout Christian, but not atheist? It's her choice to put it up there anyway. Any adult who has a problem with a child for being atheist is beyond immature.

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    This whole thing is funny at this point. NO, there are no Florida laws against the concealing of faces (they may exist as city laws, however), but NO, none of them apply to religious garments. No laws was being broken, I assure you. I'm a Florida citizen and I know the law regarding this kind...

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    Well, I've said my piece, if you don't believe me, don't. I'm tired of arguing a point that you're not understanding.

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    This would be a valid quote.... If I did what I did to screw around and see what it's like to have all this happen to me. But I wasn't screwing around. I wasn't playing a game. I wasn't pretending.

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    Agree to disagree. I'm not seeing your point of view, you're not seeing mine. Can we end this? It's clearly going nowhere.

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    Enter the double standard of singling us out

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    We had satchels, not backpacks. Essentially purses for men. This doesn't invalidate your point, but I'd like to point out that it was not a backpack. And we didn't refuse to let him CHECK our bags. We refused to give them to him. I opened my bag and showed what was inside. But again, security...

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    So that makes it fair to question anyone different? Alright, due to due people like Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson Westboro Baptist's actions and beliefs, as well as the Christian extremist in Norway who killed 80 children, I believe it's fair to question all Christians. Is that fair too? Most...

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    I stated I had no problem with the security measures, especially the guard himself approaching us. He was kind, and in return, we were as well. We agreed to reveal our faces and came to a mutual agreement. The issues arose when an employee felt it necessary to make a perjorative joke. I would...

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    It was not a "shopping trip". We were there for five minutes because my friend was looking for a CD before we had to pick up his mother from work. I never said "mourn". In fact, I pointed out that we celebrate death as transcendence. There was obviously sorrow that our friend was gone, but we...

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    Understandable but when did it become such a condemnable action to go in a mall? Granted, most people wouldn't have been running around shopping given the circumstances, but we went in one store because my friend was looking for a CD. We had five minutes to kill before his mother got off work, I...

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    I wasn't willing to part with my bag TO HIM. I made it clear that his extraordinarily rude comment was the catalyst for me getting angry about this. Not to mention, leaving my bag in the car is a little different than handing it to a store employee who mocked us and singled us out. As for the...

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    YmirGF, I understand your point, but as I stated, I didn't feel like making a scene in the mall (hence my ignoring the clerk and leaving the store altogether after he approached us). This particular employee has, excuse my language, royally ****** me off ever since I met him (I could list things...

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    I'm fairly certain I covered all this a few pages ago. Yes, it was religious (or spiritual, however you wanna swing it), yes I see it used to cover the face more often than not, and no I wasn't just screwing around. As for people questioning why I chose to wear a shemagh (for those of you who...

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    We were at my friend's house, but had to pick up his mother from work, hence being at the mall. From there, he was dropping me off at home, so I brought my bag. And my friend always carries his bag, he has more in it. It's like a "manpurse" for him, if you want to put it like that. But our mall...

    Religious harassment in my local mall

    Yeah, the way I see it, if someone is close-minded enough to be ignorant and judgmental, that's their problem, not mine. I was once in an airport meditating and was asked to stop because it scared someone in the terminal. I'm deprived of practicing my faith (which is made even more intriguing by...
