Muslim people I had a discussion with a guy today in skype, we were talking normal until he asked me about my religion, I respond I'm not a believer I just know that there's a creator of this universe and I'm thankful and positive and everyday I try to remember it. I told him that my way to give thanks is help people, feed a poor child, good actions instead just pray and pay a quote, at least that's my way to be. He started to fight and insult me saying that my thoughts were wrong that I have to pray to mahoma and I don't know what else. But that's not the case. The issue was that he started to talk faster and faster insisting and insulting me and I couldn't explain him that I respect him but I wanted to change the topic. I respect people as I want they respect me too, I don't discriminate quite opposite to that, I want to know about their culture and language, but I just can deal with this kind of sitatutions, it that was a pity, but I couldn't discuss more. I respect religions so, don't misunderstand me, I'm just talking about this guy that bothered me and didn't give a chance to argue. Anyways =)

I told him that my way to of giving thanks is to help people, feed a poor children, and take good actions instead of just praying and pay a quoting, at least that's my way to of being.
He started to fight and insult me saying that my thoughts were wrong, that I have to pray to mahoma, and that I don't know what else anything.  But that's not the case.

I will add a colloquial expression in (vulgar) English -- "shit happens" - which can mean unpleasant things will happen - like your encounter with that disrespectful guy - but you just have to try say "oh well" and forget about it because " shit happens" Sorry for the "crude word" hahah but as we are all language students the last thing to be afraid of is words, right? ???? Peace!

I'm totally disappointed about that Muslim guy.I had the opportunity to know Muslims, about my experience I found them as very respectful and polite people in many ways. Sorry for that annoying experience man!!!

Well yes is just the life style they have so there's not another option for them.

What happened to you shouldn't have happened. Worse still, there are places in the world -- perhaps where the other fellow is from, I don't know -- where not believing in the predominant religion will get you persecuted, not merely insulted.
