Thread Name: BS: Unarmed soldier killed, (London-May 2013)
Subject: RE: BS: Unarmed soldier killed, Woolwich (London)
We were in Asda yesterday and met a very Fundamentalist Bangladeshi couple. They have seen my husband at the gym (where she wears full hijab even on the machines and a weird loose full-length rubber suit for swimming, but hey...) and sometimes talk to him. I was amazed at their attitude to me (so was my husband) It was as if I smelt of poo frankly, they kept well away and sniffed. The lady asked 'if I was a Muslim yet?' and 'why hadn't my husband got down to converting me?' etc . I smiled sweetly and replied I was a Christian for life, and that my husband has no problem with that so why should they? She had the cheek to say that we weren't really married in the eyes of God unless we had a Mosque ceremony. It was a chilling encounter to be honest, and gave me much food for thought. The man particularly was a bit scary. It wasn't his very long beard but the fanatical look in his eyes. He truly looked as if he'd like to kill me right there in Asda. I warned my lovely Ib to be very careful with these people as they seemed DODGY. He agreed. Interesting...?
