Regrettable Moment

The other day I experienced a regrettable moment as Muslim convert. I made friends with a 19 year old Saudi girl who was so young and cheerful that I couldn't help feeling generation gap between me and her. In the beginning I was enjoying getting to know about this teenage girl. She knew I was not born Muslim but converted through marriage. Her questions really startled me.
Here are 2 conversations that took place.

1
"You were not Muslim before marriage."
"No, I wasn't. I didn't have my religion"
"Oh, so sad... poor thing"

2
"So, you used to eat pork?."
"Yes"
"What did it taste like?"
"It is just meat. Not too good, not too bad"
"......" (She said nothing but frowning, looking disgusted)

There is nothing to be sad about. Many people in my country are just like me and they are very happy being that way. I am not proud that we don't have religion to follow that can be guidelines of life. What I didn't like was that she acted in a way that Islam was superior to any other religion. There are many Muslims who think like her but I hate their attitude. As Muslim convert, this is a very sensitive matter. Those non-Muslims do not need to show how they feel about other religion by saying "Poor thing". Very very judgmental. I am not asking the 19 year old girl to change her religion or anything. I just wanted her to accept the fact as it was without making judgment with her own ruler. We (people in my country) would never say it is so sad to someone who says"I am Muslim". I think it is just a matter of respect. I know this girl doesn't represent Islam but I feel very tired with this closed mentality when I meet someone like her.

I just want to say "What is wrong in eating pork when I was non Muslim?" It was rather rude of her to frwon. I don't care what she thought but do not frown, please. I know for you pork is yucky but there are many people in this world who eat it and do not question anything about eating it. I am not telling you to eat it but just accept the difference with respect.

The girl seemed hip and stylish in the beginning but after the above conversation, I felt myself younger in a point that I can be still flexible to accept many new ideas and differences. It is scary that a young girl like her already has formed a certain way of thinking which is fixed and unchangeable. She said that she has no non-Muslim friends, which was another startling comment for me especially here where people with different religions coexist. It is almost impossible for people here not to mix with others with different religions from theirs and yet she is doing it. I think it is something!

When I meet someone like her, for a moment I regret and tell myself "Why did I choose to be Muslim? I don't want to be like her" Again, she is not representing Islam but I have met some other people like her and I have to feel tired every time after talking to them.

After regretting for a while, I become a proud Muslim again.

I always want to be a good person before being Muslim. It does't make any sense to me if a person is Muslim and not a good person.
