Ooof, that smarts. A few years ago someone told me to go back to Ireland...I was livid as my family has root there despite separation going back to the 18th century. The constant referance to terrorism and the equally distasteful use of the term Muslim to envoke images of supposedly bloodthirsty Arabs is something I abhor vehemently

When I told my mother and father about my reversion to Islam they told me: Don't become a radical

I rolled my eyes...my Islam has nothing to do with terror or sense intolerance. My customs are western by default with traces of Bosniak and Turkish influences mixed in.
