How do you deal with people who give you anti-islam pamphlets?

[Hodan from HR]

This Egyptian man approached me and my friend, yas, while we were shopping around in downtown. She was on a phone call so he asked me if I understand Arabic to which I replied a little bit. This dude starts going on in Arabic with a broken English here and there about how he found masih Issa and his life is now saved.

He then handed me two different pamphlets. Yas joins, "Give me too. Mashallah, you are doing dawah in this cold weather."

I whisper to her, he is a gaal fam..
Her, "Wth?! Why are you entertaining him? I thought he was Muslim coz he is speaking Arabic." He is hearing our convo mind you. She grabs the pamphlets from my hand and gives them back to him


I was speechless walahi.
I mean I didn't even know we can do that.
My polite ass been taking their pamphlets and just throw in the garbage can when they are out of sight..

True.
Also there is a story about this jew lady who was talking bad about the prophet S.A.W while he helped her carry her stuff and he didn't say any unkind word the whole time. She later learn who he was and embraced Islam because of his character.


But I understand why my friend reacted the way she did. These people can be obnoxious. Like what did he thought he will achieve by approaching two hijabi women and giving us pamphlets that was written, Is this your Allah's mercy? And it had a picture of a hand with a nail through it

That will offend any Muslim.
He could have just preached his religion without talking bad of Islam.

When I was a good Muslim I used to read the bible when I had no access to Quran, both of them preach the same thing.

I later upgraded going to different churches every Sunday to fool with the cadaan chicks, me and my friends would steal all the pamphlets from the church, dress up and go to the mall and pass it around to any good looking girl and man we were getting 10-20 numbers a day

Many people do this scam for a while now , it is sweat deal, much holier way to get into a women's legs.

You acting like you are in a Mosque and not in a forum, Jeez, didn't the bible come from Allah too? You can't claim this one is right and the other is wrong, stop derailing threads too.

Lol I used to take the time to listen to anyone and everyone, christians, hoteps, shady charities. It became too overwhelming so these days I walk right past them and before they can say “hi ther...” I’m like thanks but no thanks it saves both their time and my time so I don’t feel too bad.

I used to live right across to a church before when I was a kid. They were so loud oh my god. My parents didn’t care as long as I didn’t go in there. There was a playground that the church had, so me and the Somali kids went to play. Me with my little hijab (always friendly) greeted everyone I saw. This one old woman tried to get me into that church by saying “Jesus loves you!” And when that didn’t work they tried to say “Jesus died for you!”


I never understood that logic. Why would I care if he ”died” for me? That’s not going to make me want to convert either way

That’s exactly why they targeted me lol. They could tell. Not anymore tho

I encountered 2 Jehovas witnesses couple of times, knocked me door, each time 2 different people. The best way is to decline politely for their invitations or pamphlets. You should have done that, better than what your Yas have done.

A mormon was knocking on doors and we asked him to hoop he could dunk in dress shoes it was fun

I'm very approachable but when we had the 6 meter social distance. People didn't respect my space. I noticed with other black guys nobody was near them.

So I started making myself look angry. Worked like s charm. You should try it

Some are invasive.
I don't know if it has to do with the fact that I look approachable but politely declining their invitations rarely works for me.

They insist I spare them a minute

Having airpods on also helps. You don’t have to even listen to anything. You will not be approached trussssssst me
