I am pretty sure alot of other people have had random remarks passed at them sometimes by non muslims or even muslims at some point in their life. I thought it would nice to share stories as sometimes they can be very funny. lol just remembered one

This idea came to me because  someone said something today.

well basically me and my sister were walking and a women walked passed and said loud enough for us to here while walking pass " dont let your men tell you how to dress sweerries". It took me a few seconds to realise what she said and i was like " omdzz did u just here what she just said". I didnt realise i said it in a loud voice enogh for her to hear lol. When i looked back there was that awkward moment where we made eye contacts i was like ooops, but it really made me realise how ignorant these people are of islam. 

These types of incidents can sometime really be an iman booster. They dont realise how free we are as muslim womens alhumdulilah. it makes you lol sometime they dont realise how oppressed they are, but they think were the oppressed ones.

That's well funny sis, its amazing the reaction you get from people when they see the nikab, I think sometimes they forget that although they can't see us, we can still see them. The funniest is when they don't think you cant speak English.

The funniest thing one of my elderly non Muslim neighbour said as we were parting after having a little chat, she said, you take care now and god bless' then her face just fell and she said oh I'm so sorry I didn't meant to say that, I hope I didn't offend you.

I said don't worry, I also believe in god and may god also bless you. Lol

Once we were in a lift on a hot day, the lady next to me turned to me and said, you must be use to this weather.

It is quite hot today isn't it I replied, because I had no idea what she meant. I clocked on what she meant as we stepped out of the lift, and the first thoughts that came to my mind was:
Hellooo! I live in England.
Delayed reaction, LOL.

This was shortly after 9/11. I was on the train once when I was still studying. I had one of those back packs with a loopy thing at the top with a single strap. A non-Muslim (white male) was crossing the carriage and me and my friend were crossing the other way (train is moving). When he stepped in, he saw me, jumped back and said loudly, "WOAH" - that was fine but he then followed up with "WHAT?" - Randomly, just "WHAT" - so I replied back, "what WHAT?"

He said, "I thought that was a gun" - referring to the back pack. So I said, "You never know" - He laughed and then to my surprise he hugged me and said yea we're all the same, we joke, there's no difference so I'm pretty sure he wasn't happy about the invasion of Afghanistan. But I found this to be a "funny remark" to my backpack

    Mashallah .. this reminds me of two incidents. will start with the lastest one that happened a yr a ago i guess. My building has majority of non muslims and a very handful of muslim families. And those muslim women dont cover their faces while my family womenfolk only cover our faces. I was going down the lift when the children of the building were playing in the corridors came in. Their remarks were like Oh run away theres a devil here . I was like whatttttttttttttttttttttt .. And they were just not more than 6-7 yrs of age group..
    The next incident dates back to sometime in the year 2002. I used to be working in mumbai and travelled by first class in the ladies compartment... That day there wer these two college going young girls who wer standing next to me in the train( since there was no palce to sit) and it was so crowded that everyone push each other. Thes girls saw me in burkha and my face covered. So these girls started making remarks saying such illiterate people just get into first class compartments only to add to the crowd here. they should be caught and put behind bars ... I knew they were referring to me. I did not bother but managed to take my womans era magazine out to read( since I was a regular reader of that magazine) . LOL there was another remark saying this woman in dark (they were using broken words here and there without mentioning the word burkha and veil etc, so that I dont guess what they are talking about if they used these words) just wants to make us a foolthat she can read english therefore takes a book only to look at pictures (and they had a hearty laugh). I smiled to myself thinking how ignorant they are abt we muslim womens veils and abayas. How ignorant they are that they dont realize we are not victims of inchastity alhamdulillah... then when I had to get down I asked them back in english darlings which side bandra station comes this side or this side. I will be obliged if u please help. They wer stunned and were like :O: when i got down and I told them hope to meet u tomorrow inshallah. and mashallah they were there in the same train but this time with remorse in their eyes when I got in. We became friends and mashllah after 3 years one of the girls became a muslim Alhadmulillah....

    Asslamo Allaikum,

    I had no idea how women in Niqab eat since their mouth is covered so I asked one of my cousins in Pakistan since she is the only one who wore a Niqab and asked, "Baji (Sister), How do you eat?"

    I have so many stories to tell but I need plenty of time to type them out and phrase it correctly.

    Khair, here's one.

    I was on my way to the mosque for Salah where I was stopped by a Pakistani man with a salaam. He asked me in his native language if there was a mosque nearby. So I said yes, just here.

    His next question baffled me. He can see that I was appropriately dressed for the mosque. He asked, "Is it a masjid for Muslims?". Stunned for a second, I replied yes. He then said I'm only asking because everyone looks different here.

    I laughed and said, "This here is a synagogue, and that there with the dome is the mosque."

    SubhanAllah, the orthodox Jews taken as fake Muslims.

    Asslamo Allaikum,

    In Garden Grove Mosque (LA) which is regarded as the richest Muslim community in the west with expensive cars parked outside a child (about 12) stopped me and asked "If I was a Jew?"

    I asked why and he said, "Because you have your head covered!"

    After 7/7, London was on high security.

    It just happened to be that I had an Installation job almost next to the American embassy in central London.

    That day, I drove up Grosvenor Square towards the embassy where I was stopped by the police with machine guns.

    I was with my then work mate, a Lebanese fellow. Anyways, we were told to get out of the van and answer their questions. My looks obviously provoked them to stop us.

    They asked plenty of questions separately and our answers matched. I even pointed to a few apartments opposite the embassy and told them to verify my identity with my clients if they needed. (mostly rich Hindus and a couple of Jews)

    In the mean time another police officer was walking around the van looking in every corner. All of sudden he shouted out, "There's one in the back." Now this guy in the back of the van was an Indian Christian. The police man had his finger ready on the trigger. I told him to calm down and explained to him that he was our IT engineer and that he went from site to site with his backpack and for that very reason I took him off the streets and put him in the back of the van. The police didn't ask him any questions except his name. To my surprise, the police man said that was the best thing to do and that they were sorry were only doing their job.

    For my ex work mate in the back, that was the most scariest moment of his life. He thought he was going to get shot like the Brazilian guy.

    We had a great laugh later. I even told him that he could have been a martyr had he been a Muslim and killed.

    He was a nice guy but left the business due to lack of clients, he was also very interested in Islam. His parents warned him once to be careful as he was surrounded by Muslims, but he told them straight that we were proper Muslims and not troubled ones.

    I was at a clients place once. Everyone there was Jewish. As I was working there, one of the staff members approached me and started talking to me in Hebrew. I stopped her with a reply that sent shivers down her spine. I said, "I'm Muslim, I don't speak Hebrew"Lol, that upset her.
