How to deal with them?
I have been receiving such abrasive emails and comments lately. However, I was not sure what I can categorize them as. I don’t even want to reply to any because I feel they are a waste of human time to even bother with.
So, if I didn’t reply to your emails, I either skimmed through them and I forgot, or didn’t want to bother continuing an argument with someone I will 100% never talk to or see in my life.
I keep wondering why people think the way they think. Is it a cultural thing, or a religious thing? Both are confusing me, because I am not sure why people cannot make up their minds in trying to justify a point by choosing one or the other. Most of them resort to an answer that satisfies themselves anyways. So, why can’t they stop trying to justify things based on culture or religion, if they are really only satisfying their own beliefs?
The Never Ending Melodramatic Tunes
People ask me the same things over and over:
- Why do I say the things I say, am I Muslim? Muslims don’t say such things.
- Why do I have such conservative Islamic thoughts if I don’t wear the head veil? You are only Muslim and have such thoughts if you wear one.
- Why do I attack culture and I should be proud of it instead? You can only be Arab and use that name if you are proud of it.
- If I am Palestinian, then why don’t I dedicate my blog to talking about Palestine and the genocides instead of about me? This site is too popular and always first on Google and have to be dedicated to Palestine, and not me.
- Why do I have non-Arabs commenting on my site and me siding with them? Arabs only talk, listen, and agree to other Arab’s thoughts.
- People blame me for hate towards something that I don’t hate at all, and start mocking me physically, mentally, my entire family, and think they know me more than I know my self. Too much time on their hands, and they do it because they cannot stand people doing it to them. So they take the first approach at it, and find it amusing and fun. I wonder what will happen if they realize that I am evil with words and I have no mercy towards stupidity?
Moreover, due to my utter confusion with such mentality, and my automated alerts when I get new emails from this site to my phone, I end up asking people on mobile Twitter instead. I cannot or even have time to go on my blog or do anything during work hours.
This is what I asked today on Twitter:

I got people replying to me with various view points. Some said that it is worse to be a religious fanatic, and others said that both types of ideologies are the same. Anyways, it ended up being more of a rhetorical question than a pure questionable thought that is necessary for every day survival.
Mystical Thoughts
I will tell you the awful truth though that I have been hiding with secret words on my site, and just clarify some misconceptions to those pea-brained idiots with serious language and mental disorders. So, if you are confused or have too much free time on your hand to argue with me, then I got some answers alright! I have been actually hiding them in each blog post for almost the past four years.
Here goes nothing.
I say the things I say because I don’t give two shits. I am me. You are you. Get over it! If we were all meant to think the same way and have the same beliefs, then we would still be living in caves wondering who will go hunt our winter supply of food this year before we hibernate for over three months!
Oh, you see, people like me are the ones that go beyond what is written, beyond what is known by others, and use that brain that God gave us. For those that believe in God, or only some higher being that cannot be explained, or nothing at all, I DON’T CARE! That’s your problem, NOT MINE! Don’t force an idea on me! I can chose for my self! Do I force anything on you? Would you like me to? I can be very convincing you know, and I would probably be sought after by the Pope, some Imam, or some Rabbi, and questioned for knowing the hidden secrets of this life!
You see, human intelligence was given to us for a reason. If accepting things the way they are satisfies you, then so be it. It does NOT satisfy me at all. I like to think. I like to question things. I know my limits and when not to cross the red line. I say what I have to say because I know someone else is asking it, and they don’t have to feel secluded in their own thoughts anymore. They search Google or Bing or whatever, and come to my blog and feel a little itsy bitsy feeling of comfort. It’s funny when you meet others that share the same view point as you. You feel a little bit of hope and satisfaction. Right?
So, I question things because I can! Can you? Do you dare?
Anyways, to each his own!
Angry, Blah Blah, Culture, Random Thoughts, Ranting as usual!, Religion, They said what?, Visitor Taking Over, Whatever!




::Jumps out of her seat with applause::
Bravo! Bravo, Mona!
You’re lucky. People searching Google come to my site looking for ways to abuse animals or perverted pictures of past American Idol contestants. I wonder if those people are comforted to come to my site?
@Jamie
Oh, I get so so many perverted searches, but a lot come to my site searching for something to comfort them culturally or even religiously.
@Catherine
Thanks a bunch!
Yah it would truly be a boring universe if everyone thought the same.
Well said. Thank you for giving what had been a terrible day a happy ending.
You are right some emails don’t deserve to be answered. Some of the criticism is caused by jealousy, some people can not stand seeing others succeed or be popular.
As for the difficult questions, keep asking them, some of us like to be provoked and made to think outside our little corner or box.
Do whatever makes and keeps you happy and satisfied
I thing all you need is be yourself. Do whatever you want and love as long as your are not breaching the law.
Firstly, I’m very sorry you have to endure such ill; yes I mean psychologically ill and bigoted people. As a wise person once said “The most powerful response is silence”… you should not bring yourself down to the low class level of ignorance that prevails a society, nation or an individual regardless of their cultural or religious identity. Finally, Mona, we love you very much and you only have to look at the positive comments and responses you get from many people worldwide. We love you; and if others want to criticize your opinions don’t do it by constantly debating in mindless emails that go around in a vicious circle. After all, you’re just an ordinary person expressing your opinion… If God homogenized the world and the people living in it life would be boring. Differences mean uniqueness.
– We love you!!! & P.S. Hope you are recovering, the job is going well and Squibby is fine too…
Don’t worry, Mona. Nothing is wrong with you. Most people are caught up in illusions, delusions, neuroses, and various types of weirdness. Plus, they get to be anonymous on the internet and say all the mean and nasty things that they are too afraid to say in their real lives.
I get constant criticism here in America because I don’t think like most other Americans. I’m considered a traitor because I have respect for Islam and tell people about all the culture, math, and science that Europe stole from Islam back when the Europeans were smelly barbarians.
People are ignorant because they feel safe in their ignorance. Strong people like you can ignore the criticism of weak minds.
Mona, I’ve always gotten the impression you were proud of your identity so I don’t think you’ve really got much to feel guilty about. Your criticism seems constructive in that you want people to be better than they are. You don’t seem like the self-hating type to me at all! I don’t get why anyone would try to pin that on you.
how to deal with them?
Confront them with the wall of silence, then throw them into the pit of eternal neglect.
“If I am Palestinian, then why don’t I dedicate my blog to talking about Palestine and the genocides instead of about me? This site is too popular and always first on Google and have to be dedicated to Palestine, and not me.”
I think you talk about palestine a lot, and that you give palestinians a face that more people can feel sympathy with. If you´d write less about yourself, the interesting person with new thoughts that you are, this site wouldn´t be as big, and no one would ever read about palestine. People connect to the palestian issue thorugh you, they can get plain information somewhere else. Thos people critising should be thanking you, there are more ways then one to put some light on palestine..
Behold, my words of wisdom…
and as someone else said, there are always gonna be weird angry anonymous people on the internet, doesn´t mean they are right because they scream louder.
I loved this entry. One of the best so far. Just keep writing, and ignore those who don’t understand. They probably never will and just want to pick a fight.
@s
I agree with you totally Palestine is not only land, Palestine is people real live people and Mona is as real as it can get.
Ignore them… At the end of the day your blog is your blog and your thoughts are your own. If people don’t like it they should just not read it..
These arab males you say that send you hate mail…they’re just jealous. So ignore them and keep writing what you write. Ive been reading your blog for a few weeks now and even though i don’t comment, its good stuff…so keep it up..and by the amount of subscribers you have…you obviously are doing something right…
:up:
I am back. Sorry I have not replied to everyone, but thanks the positive thoughts. After I wrote this post, I have stopped getting some weirdo emails. Well, it has only been two days, and eventually some people with half a brain and a lot of times on their hands will write me something to provoke me.
Good thing I am patient.
Hey Mona, I like the fact that you are outspoken and honest
Too bad for those who can’t take it! Will continue to support you and read your blog.
