Salam Alaykum

"When you disappoint someone you try to avoid them. Now, when you sin who have you disappointed? You’ve disappointed God. Satan comes to you and tells you what should you do? Avoid Him. The natural instinct of a human-being is when they disappoint someone to avoid them."

I was sitting at lunch and a Jewish girl, a Catholic girl, and I had a very beautiful conversation.

Catholic Girl: I was watching so many things about 9/11 yesterday. It was really sad though because everyone was blaming the Muslims.
Me: Well, I was watching this one, I forget the channel, where they interviewed the Muslims that survived 9/11. But, there were a few of them who weren't Muslims, and they were so impacted by it that they started badmouthing Muslims. Then a man walked in and they remembered him and started crying because he was the man that saved one of them. He then said, "Did you know that I am Muslim?" They were shocked.
Catholic Girl: Wow. People nowadays. Sabrina, have you been called a terrorist?
Me: Yes...
Jewish Girl: Well you know what, I think thats disgusting. Why is it that when a Muslim does something bad, all Muslims are terrorists. People don't go around and call me a Zionist. So why are you a terrorist?
Me: (dumbstruck by her answer so I change the subject) You know what I'm excited for? To learn about the Middle East in History this year. I have so much to say about it. Especially whats going on in Palestine/Israel. (I added the Israel part because I didn't want to offend her.)
Jewish Girl: Why do you say Israel? Its Palestine. It will always be Palestine. It has always been.
-At this point I was in tears and all I could say was mashAllah-

"Stay where you are. Find your own Calcutta. Find the sick, the suffering and the lonely right there where you are — in your own homes and in your own families, in your workplaces and in your schools. … You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have the eyes to see. Everywhere, wherever you go, you find people who are unwanted, unloved, uncared for, just rejected by society — completely forgotten, completely left alone"
