:salam2:
i'm very sorry to hear that. i usually get suspicious looks and numerous stops at the airports.
I have only left my home country once; to go to malayasia.
I change name to more of a Islamic name.
Then I applied for my passport, that took 4-6 weeks, normally 2-4 weeks.
Then when I left the country I got stoppped & search. (what are you doing? Where are you going? What mosque do you go to?)
When I got to malayasia, I just straight into the country. Al-humdulah.
No problems out all.
When I came back to my country. I got stop again,.The same thing happen again. I did have photo's, hotel reciepts, bus pass to back up where I went.
The worse thing was that my mum was waiting for me outside. I was held for over an hour & they didn't tell my mum. She was starting panic after a while.
I think what also help was not talking Islamicly, i mean talking like a local, with local slang words.
About 1-2 weeks after I got back into my country. I had 2 visit's from the Federal police. Both times it was the same police & the funny thing was I played a soccer(football) game against those to police in 2008, in a Muslim vs police game. By the way, the game was a draw 2-2 :-/
I have also been physicaly attack, when a teenager tried to smash a glass bottle over my head. This happen behind the local mosque. I told the police but nothing happen afterwards.
Al-humdulah all is a lot better for me now
