interaction with muslims
now, i am not generalizing, just going by a few interactions i have had with Muslims when by the pool in Bangkok
yesterday, i go down to the pool and grab a chair and put my towel, books, and shirt down and jump in the pool
a little bit after, a teenage muslim girl came down with a bunch of little boys. she went right to my chair. i told her it was my chair, but she motioned politely if she could put my stuff on table next to it and sit with some little kids
i said sure
so after a bit, i get out of pool to retrieve my belongings and move to another chair so she can keep that chair. she looked like i was going to rape her!! i mean, did she expect me to magically move my belongings with my eyes?
just weird people
also, i will say, some of the young muslim boys i meet while in the pool(that doesnt sound good 555) are some of the most engaging young kids. super polite. but then i see their dads and older brothers and they have a constant scowl on their face
