Why do people ask me if it's religious because I wear sandals?

Since I'm Muslim, I wear sandals alot, but I live in Florida, so everyone does. It feels really comfortable, but people think I do because it's religious for Muslims to wear sandals. Where do people get the religious idea?

Because they are stupid.

In John 10:36, Jesus said, "Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?"

If I had to guess, probably from the media clips of Muslim men at prayer...most are wearing sandals.

I think that the people who are generally thick and naive about "religion" are the ones who might make this association...





Or not...





I hate shoes. That's why I wear sandals and flip-flops when not working. I like the feel of air on my feet.

they are sooo comfortable I have replaced regular shoes with them.


I don't think that it is a religious thing, that is like calling your wife an Indian for wearing a towel around her head.
Reply:Because your sandals look divine!





Otherwise, no idea. White robes and burqas tend to give more of a religious Muslim than sandals.





If you don't like this perception, try flip flops!
