Every saturday I take my little girls to their street dance in woking. While they dance I grab a coffee and if it's nice a sit outside.
Today there were 3 guys outside the shopping centre handing out leaflets. I didnt know what the leaflets were but some people were being a bit rude as they walked past. I was being a bit nosey so walked over to see what the leaflets were. As I approached I saw a lady rip the leaflet and walk off, she didnt read it. Took it and ripped it. The guy smiled and carried on handing out leaflet. I took one "extremism and islam"....as the man handed it to me he apologised. Bit odd, I thought. Anyway I sat on the wall and read it. It was a leaflet speaking about how Islam is not a religion of hate. It had quotes from prominent members of the faith and quotes from the qur'an. As I was reading, some english moron wearing his camo jacket stopped and asked me what the "paki" was handing out. The guy handing out the leaflet never heard this but walked over and did the same thing, handed leaflet and apologised....the moron said "it's about time you people started apologising".....fucking idiot. I told the moron and the muslim guy that he had no need to apologise for nutters killing people. I dont apologise when a Christian commits a crime and I told the moron that he doesnt apologise when some far right racist commits a crime so why should this guy have to stand out in the town centre on a saturday apologising to people. The moron walked off. I spoke with the muslim guy. I explained that I wasnt religious. He explained that him and his friends dont know what else to do. They are constantly abused. Their kids are abused. He explained he isn't violent. He is just a normal guy that feels like the country that he was born in hates him and his family because they are muslim...today I felt sad. I wish the guy, his friends and family the best of luck. I finished the convo by apologising to him for they way he is treated.
