Top 10 Stupidest questions you've been asked

[Chieftain Twilight]

i have to be honest with you, i wouldn't ever be able to judge for myself if a question that i ask aboout something i don't know is stupid or not. so... i guess the question is a moot point? odds are though i HAVE asked alot of stupid questions, considering i tend to be very dense, if an intelligent person. ._.

I don't recall asking an obviously stupid question, but l've already made a presentation about major religions and, afterwards, someone came up to me and said ''Wow, yo do lie well. I can't believe the teacher bought that Islam is based on Christianity.'' *And then all his friends laughed.*

I facepalmed myself to sleep.

The only question I've had like that is "Are you a muslim?" (perhaps there are many non-muslim hijabis out there that we don't know of :>)

I've had fun experiences with the kids in my class when I was a teacher. It was an Islamic school, and these kids (4-5 years old) live in mostly immigrant populated neighbourhoods. As such, they rarely saw people with non-brown eyes. One of my kids came up to me and looked shocked as he proclaimed "MISS! You've got GREY in your eyes! eek "
They were also convinced I became "Moroccan" when I accepted Islam.

But beyond that, nothing at all. I'm laughing my head off about some of these questions xD I suppose here in the UK and in Holland nowadays there isn't *that* much ignorance.

Haha, though I remember one of our politicians wishing to ban the "Burqa" (by that they mean niqab) in public and because they couldn't get that through, he settled for wanting to "ban the wearing of the burqa (niqab) inside the home

Seriously, what the heck? But yeah people have asked whether we muslimas wear our hijabs inside :>

Mostly I get nice questions though :3
