Am getting a little tired with all the rubbishing of “born Muslims”
How often have I heard that it’s us “born Muslims” who mix culture with religion and it’s the convert/revert (can never get the word right) who have the true Islam because they aren’t jaded by culture (if they adopt the Arab one then that’s ok ya’ni) How often have I heard how born Muslims don’t know s**t about Islam.How often have I heard how convert Muslims will save the day.
AND to top it all off, born Muslims are sooo funny and hilarious because they always ask the white convert where they are from. Those stupid born ethnic Muslims think the white convert is from an Arab country. LOLZ!
Us brownies get the same question all the time. But not only from Muslims, but from non-Muslims too. We are constantly reminded that no matter how long we live in “the West” we will always be the other. I’m glad (and I really say this without any sarcasm) you white converts find it amusing and that the questions don’t (and probably won’t) ever affect you in the same way.
