My personal experiance

Dear readers, i have been in United Kingdom for some years. i came from an South Asian country. the country has a majority almost 97% Muslim population. growing up srounded by Muslims was not good experiance as i was treaded (most of the time) as a second class. it was put in our mind that we are diffrent from the muslims and less important. in school, it was the same. not many boys wanted to be my friends. i was given a seperate glass for the water as i might unclean the glass of other. many time was refused a cup of tea in the resturent just because i was Christian or unless i was able to pay the price for the cup too. so the resturent people could break the cup after giving me tea. this is few points i am mentioning to just tell about the back ground. In my home country my friends would say that why i dont go to USA? they are also cristian, and i am an American? :). i am not sure about this but i find it hard that when Christian would go for the visa they usually were rejected because they are the poor people and can not show enough money to US govt. any way as i came to UK i realize that the mind set of me and many other Asian Christian i am in contact is still the same. some has over reacted and started hateing their country men, but some like me still love them but strugle to the fact that we are still the second class here. the reason is that in my country religion made me foregner, and here in the UK the color of my skin. here the story starts. i will be posting my personal thoughts and observation to encourage the readers and help to improve the voice of my Asian Christian community.
