To avoid Muslim friend

[cumbriaisbest]

I can't stand listenting to it any more.Tatbir, Gaza and so on. Unrelenting pain.
In addition.....
Where do I go when I die ( as a non believer?)
Where will my gay son go?

I say this as somebody who has worked in community projects and is passionately against racism.

Okay?
Why the need to proclaim it to the world?

It’s fine to avoid anyone you want to.

I think I'd be stepping back completely from a friendship with someone of ANY religion if they were banging on about where myself and my gay son would go when we die.

You didn't need to mention being against racism. Of course any reasonable person is. You're not being racist.

Agree with other pp’s. You can avoid anyone you want. I’m not sure what them being Muslim has to do with it. I’m in NI. Plenty of people here banging on about religion etc. I avoid them all!

What exactly are you hoping to achieve from this thread, OP? A load of posters agreeing with your Islamophobia?

Yes that's fine. You're not avoiding her because of her faith, you're avoiding her because she's shoving her views down your throat and being offensive about your son.

Which part is Islamophobic exactly?

This

Not proclaiming.....struggling.

My son is Gay, and if ANYONE spoke negatively about him regarding his sexuality, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be part of my life in any way again.

religion has absolutely nothing to do with it…. Their attitude towards him does, as we all have personal responsibility to keep our traps shut if you think it might offend someone, especially a so called friends DS.

NO NO NO.

I am struggling with a friendship and aspects of the faith.

Thanks

Sorry a very unclear opening.Friend has not been offensive but I can never get an answer to these questions which trouble me.

That was predictable.

The same with any relationship. If it is causing you grief, you go low contact, or eventually NC.

I stopped seeing my dad because he was racist, homophobic and bigoted. But it doesn't matter why, you can end a relationship for any reason you like.

And I suggest you do. Homophobia is small minded, ignorant, cruel and unacceptable regardless of religion.

Find yourself some better educated, kinder friends.

I avoid anyone who is deeply religious. I have met far more religious hypocrites than non believers.

It gives people an excuse for their actions or the actions of others against them - apparently removing free will.

I avoid anyone who is deeply religious

Maybe this is it.

God, how horrible you are, really.

I give up.
Clicks?

So, if I understand you correctly your friend isn't trying to force her beliefs on you ? Or even sharing them with you . It sounds like you are asking questions and anticipating the answers she will give will offend you .

Why do you care what her answer is? If you don’t share her beliefs then you can worry about or be happy about whatever afterlife you want to believe in. Or none.

Oh and just to say not " bored" utterly horrified, and deeply saddened. And had expressed this and was ignored.

My Muslim friends don't say any of these things. You are not struggling with 'aspects of the faith' but with aspects of your friends behaviour. If your friend is homophobic then that's reason enough to avoid her without all the flim flam about struggling with Islam. My Muslim friends are not homophobic either.

No it's not, it's a hot bothered person trying to untangle some stuff.

Islam does not favour gay people I think?

Why are you so bothered about what islam supposedly says about gay people and what ever else you have a problem with? Mind your own business and get on with your life
