i joined a web page .this web page shares people's experiences .i liked it firstly .i have shared my feelings ,my thoughts and my experiences .but i didn't want to share my name , my region , my nationamity with people to keep my self anonymous so no one would juge me as a known person .
Firstly i started communicating with people in this website . In a conversation , a lady started talking about religious things , i made a mistake when i told her that i read the bible when she asked me if i do .though i'm muslim i said "yes , i read bible !" stupidly .i am an idiot because i thought that all holly books are called bible .when i came back again to the website i found out that she left me a message on the whiteboard saying : read some parts of the bible like psalms as i remember .i was shocked i didn't know what to say to her .so i told her that i was wrong and that i'm muslim .it was an embarassing moment for me .the worst is that i sent her this message in publuic .so everyone knows that i'm muslim and it's not good for me because i thought that when people know that i'm muslim they would judge me and neglect me because of my bad experiences that i wrote in my profile .i thought that i'll bring for them a bad idea about muslims and islam that's why i found it hard to communicate with people after what happened .and i think that the lady was upset with me or feeling that she was talking all the time to an idiot .
Desperately when i knew that i'm known i shared my name and my nationality too which made me perfectly known .
so now , i'm afraid to talk to this website's people .and i wish i wasn't talking to them . i became so hesitated when i talk to them and frustrated too .
what can i do ???!!!!!

I can't say that I think you're over-reacting. Many people don't know much about Muslims, so they wouldn't understand that your definition of the "bible" includes something different. It is true that some people believe all Muslims are bad, but I know that's not true. If you don't mind my asking, is there any reason why you have to go back to that place?

Sorry we were so late in responding to you.

Hi there needadvice! This is my first post on here but I really wanted to give a reply. Could you not sign up as a complete different person and take it from there? I am in Canada and I know I and probably many others would have no judgement at all at you being Muslim, but I guess other areas may.

This is obviously causing you some anxiety, set up a new email and start up as someone else.

There are many times you will read 20 different posts were all the people have similar stories, I bet no one would ever assume your new account name is related to the old one. Just my two cents! Good luck

That is the obvious thing to do - since 1) you like the website and 2) you do not like what transpired between the lady and your old userid, it follows that you need a new userid.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
