and since we're on the topic of race and reverts, why the heck do people act like white female reverts are some mystical magical beings? What gives? Why are all the guys always interested? .
Ahaha, great description. It's very crude, but I believe that the male equivalent can be considered "the great white convert". I'm actually kind of surprised at Daniel's experience because I would imagine that even though it is also a racist attitude, albeit a different kind, the "great white convert" experience would be much more prevalent than what he has to go through.
Is it some sort of wanting what you usually can't have forbidden fruit thing? Its weird. Hispanic and black female reverts usually don't get the same reaction
I think it's a couple of factors. You're right about the forbidden fruit thing, as a white female that used to be untouchable is now "available" due to her conversion.
Also, I think Aapa has the right idea in that the infatuation for a white female is higher than that of other races. I apologize, but I can vouch for the fact that the attraction to white female converts is higher than other races for factors that have absolutely nothing to do with how "pure" the iman of a new convert is.
It's very superficial. An extremely beautiful hispanic or black woman will garner more interest than a white woman based purely on physical attraction. But the fact is that hispanic and black women will probably "blend in" better than a white women, who would most probably stand out unless the specific mosque is fairly diverse.
But the curious thing is that I don't see white European girls who were born into Muslim families getting the same treatment.
Be honest, are they as pretty as other white Muslim females you've seen?
If so, then it is most likely that it probably has to do with wanting what you can't have. There's no thrill in going after a white European girl if she was already born a Muslim when you have the "thrill" of going after an equally attractive white American convert or something.
Another thing that it might be is that those born into Muslim families may be tougher to fool/handle because they are not so easily tricked with silly statements such as, "I can see the noor in your face." lol I always cringe when I hear that. Converts are probably more desirable because they might not be so apt to reject somebody because of their desire to fit in with their new community or something. At least that's what the perception may be.
Sounds like a great research topic
)So inshallah they'll trust you soon.May ALLAH create love,respect and trust between the muslims.ameen
