Today, my neighbor called the cops on me, all because he heard me speaking Arabic. I was on the phone with my grandmother in Egypt. FML

Sounds like your neighbor also wears a tinfoil hat.

I am surprised that there has not been a BLM FML yet.

I wonder what would have happened if you were Native American speaking Cherokee or something. What would he do then? "get out of my country" "Nooo, you get out of MY land."

The dumbass would have probably thought Cherokee to be some terrorist lingo.

Why can the police even respond to that? Speaking Arabic isn't even a little bit illegal.

I think I'm some areas the police always have to respond no matter what the call is.

I have an Arabic name and I'm pulled over at security every time I enter this country, even though I am a natural-born American. Islamaphobia is real, and deniers of it are blind to the truth

You are confusing the word islamophobia with islamistophobia. Being afraid of Islam as such is as being afraid of Christianity or Buddhism. Being afraid of islamism is like being afraid of nazism or communism.

And yet, am I? The average American, when they are bigoted, is afraid of Islam in general, because they're not educated enough to know the difference between radical and normal Islam. So yes, Islamophobia, not "Islamistphobia."

I'm sorry you go through that. I wish people weren't so close minded.

People are always quick to deny things that they personally have never been a victim of, such as racism or sexism.

Looks like the Trumpmania is spreading.

I assume either extremely bored cop syndrome and/or the caller misunderstood what she saw/heard and/or lied to get an honest police response. Like saying she heard him say, "bomb" or some other "mistake".

That doesn't matter. Police HAVE to respond to calls.

well you can thank the dip shit terrorist groups like ISIS and al queda for that..when a small percentage of people use a religion or culture as a means to their end anyone who walks and talks like them is thought to be one of them. he probably thought you were planning the next Paris attack on the next plane to hijack..

There is only one person to thank: the neighbour. You are not going to blame ISIS for what this person did.

I think yall misunderstood what I was saying. I'm saying some people are ignorant and think anyone who speaks Arabic or any or language from the area of the world is automatically a terrorist..not saying I was blaming ISIS for that guy calling the cops
