WaAlaikumussalaam,
Brother please remain dishearten and angry, you look very lovely in such situation. hehe.
No joke, actually these people around us think that each and every Muslim in the world thinks and practice the high morals of Islam and has the same gestures and expressions. This disease D) is called idealism. i.e. If I like chewing gum then everyone likes and if I dont like then I am here to give fatwa that chewing gum is haraam, .

Asslamo Allaikum,
I believe that my genuine comments and concerns have been twisted around to suit certain people's pre-conceived ideas.
I have NOT never explicitly or implictly implied that race, culture, ethnicity, educational or social background is above and beyond Islam; I have also never explicitly or implictly implied that mixed-race relationships are always bound to break down etc.
I think we should have Husn-Dhann towards our Muslims brothers/sisters and make excuses for them (if necssary) and where we fail to understand someone's point of view due to our lack of knowledge, experience and understanding we should not be hasty in condemning them...
That was neither the intention nor the intended outcome; I was simply trying to implore all to explore the problem from all angles...It is obvious that some people are incapable of looking beyond their initial bias and dissecting the problem in order to SOLVE the problem!
This is a classic case that when-ever there are people involved with multiple races, it is automatically assumed that it must be a 'race-issue'...Some people love playing the 'race card' all the time...Wake up Folks! Not everyone who is from a different race to you is a RACIST!
I leave all in the Care of Allah (SWT) for twisting my comments and suiting some preconceived ideas and bias!
Allah knows best!
P.S: I would however make two last points:
1) See the complete Hadeeth which has been incorrectly referred to here:
http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8672
2) See the following Hadeeth which has been constantly referred to in this thread without reproducing the text:
Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi #3090, Narrated Abu Hurairah, r.a.
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, 'When someone with whose religion and character you are satisfied asks your daughter in marriage, accede to his request. If you do not do so, there will be temptation on Earth and extensive corruption.' [Tirmidhi, Nasa'i and Ibn Majah transmitted it.]
Why is everyone assuming that anyone practing Islam is also of good character? Self judging yourself is called arrogance!
P.P.S: I will not be contributing to this thread anymore as there is nothing to prove.
I hope that I have not hurt anyone's feelings & the ones who have hurt mine as previously stated, I leave you in the good and sound care of Allah (SWT).
