18. Dear closeupready

I understand but i have to do my part. I cant just pretend i dont see young midddle eastern men (and sometimes women) are being duped by this disease called wahhabism that is casting its long arms across the muslim world. I cant act like im helpless.

You see poeple like me are the most unpopular in the world. A lot of times we feel like we have no home..

When i came to this country comments like sand nig#$# were routinely used to described me. even though i have blue eyes fair skin and light brown hair. just my name was good enough reason. How i wish my name was michael smith growing up lol. but the truth of it is i talk about uncomfortable things.

You know how popular im at our local resturant where we all hang out when someone bashes jews and israel and im the asshole that points out all the great technology and good that comes from that country? The room usually goes silenct for almost 2 seconds before they ALL jump on me pointing out one thing after another about how we are the victims of israel. Im like dude were not even Palestinian. youve been here all your life and your nickname is david because you were to embarrassed to go by saad and that btw is a jewish name you ignorant dummie.. sorry im going on a rant now about our arguments but u get the point.

but as i was saying poeple like me are not popular.. the donald trumps of the world hate me.. the extremist mindset of the world i come from hate me.. i get labled an islamaphobe for being critical of the religion and culture i grew up because im trying the save the hearts and minds of my people. Which i find amusing.. but like i said.. poeple like me are not very popular lol.
