廣州懷聖寺門口。牌子寫著只讓穆斯林內進。
一個戴白色方帽的猥瑣中年男人從門旁小室走出來。
我問︰「可唔可以入去參觀？」(可否進去參觀？)
搖頭。
我說︰السلام عليكم
他說︰「你地唔使扮野。」(你們不用做戲。)
我不忿說︰「你又知我唔係回教徒？」(你怎知我不是回教徒？)
他說︰「睇你著衫就唔合格。」(看你衣著就不及格。)
我臨走拋下一句︰「你未見過黎巴嫩人？」(你沒見過黎巴嫩人？)

懷聖寺始建於唐，是世上最早的清真寺之一。

上午先去光孝寺 (六祖削髮之地)，去完本來打算去旁邊的水雲天素菜館吃午飯，看了餐牌後覺得以這裡來說太貴了，是南蓮園池素菜館的廣州版，於是四處看看，結果去了這間蘭州牛肉拉麵 (光孝路75號)，飯/麵連汽水每人用了8元人民幣，挺不錯。
在廣州也去了清真食店，如果是先去懷聖寺可能就不會去吧。要不是我們阿拉伯文學生，誰去會去廣州也去清真寺？我們簡直替回教徒當文化大使了，四處跟人說回教不是這麼差，不是只有恐怖分子和對女人的鄙視。但「睇你著衫就唔合格」，這就是我們的回報。
哈，你去到廣州都要做阿拉伯人
回覆刪除咁同阿拉伯文同學去丫嘛。乜你咁得閒上網。

SHAMEFUL!!!
回覆刪除As a Muslim I feel ashamed reading this. This is not how the Qur'an, or the Prophet (pbuh) taught us to treat others. In Malaysia and Singapore I have seen how successful and rewarding mosque tourism can be. The masaajid are always open to visitors, and there are robes for the too-scantily-clad, and volunteers just try to explain and not preach. They don't aim to convert -- only to share and to educate. I find that really beautiful and I think this is what the masaajid all over the world should do if they have the means. The original idea is from Discover Islam, an organization in Bahrain, and they offer training for those masaajid that want to set up mosque tourism in their home countries.
//there are robes for the too-scantily-clad//
回覆刪除唉，穿短袖也要加袍吧？難道穿短袖就叫too-scantily-clad？
你不覺得「保護女性」的說法很荒謬嗎？要男人不望，不如叫他們蒙眼吧。在伊朗，大家都穿長袍，走動之間還是看得到身材，只是容易作假罷了。其實那樣很神秘很誘人的。
That depends. In HK they don't bother with robes unless you're in a miniskirt. In Muslim-majority countries they are a little bit stricter with the rules.
回覆刪除The hijab for me, first and foremost, represents my relationship with God. The "protection" it may or may not offer comes as a distant second or even third. When I expose myself I feel guilty because I have disobeyed, but I don't necessarily feel threatened because now someone might come and rape me or something like that. For me it's not about men. It's about God.

回覆刪除管這點小事的神，不是比人還八卦嗎？
لكم دينكم ولي دين
回覆刪除:D :D :D
But before we close this issue...I don't like mainland Chinese masjids very much. They are very conservative, dominated by old people, and have a creepy relationship with the government... :P I suppose that's common ground for us?
//لكم دينكم ولي دين//
回覆刪除話不是這樣說，我相信穆罕默德所傳基本上是神靈的話，但我勸你解經要自己解，不要很信教士。他們最喜歡將自己的偏見和符合自己利益的話說成是神的意旨。還要考慮那是甚麼年代、甚麼地方。
