Do I look Muslim, to you?

[Pro.crasti.nation]

Not sure if this is a valid thread submission.
I know "Muslim" does not signify any particular phenotype or race but, within each nation's context, there is an idea of what a "typical Muslim" looks like.

So I ask, do I look "Muslim", to you?

Yes but you look like a Dwarf warrior from Erebor.

Muslim is a religion, not an ethnicity.

I see why one would think so but not that much.

Dwarves are industrious and rugged buggers, I'm very happy with that association. Aside from the whole being a midget bit.

Btw, is it the beard?

[Pro.crasti.nation]

I am aware of that, I tried to acknowledge and expand on my particular thinking.

Your eyes scream Indian, I swear to god.

Depression and hay fever, but I guess it shows.

TBH, I do think that I swing that way but, takes a lot of exposure to desis to differentiate.

You look Indian. But one of those Caucasoid looking Indians.

Basically, would you shift to the next carriage, if I boarded your train, with a rucksack on my back?

[Adamm]

What is your ethnicity if I may ask? You could pass as a muslim, but muslims are of all colors and phenotypes.

[Bakha]

If by Muslim you mean middle eastern vibe, no you don’t have it
You look more euro than some Southern Europeans I have seen where I live:D

Probably because I am. But I guess that also means yes on the Muslim front.

To be honest when people think about ''Muslims'' they imagine someone even darker and more ''exotic'' than you:

I'm not certain tbh but, my ancestry goes from Delhi to Bengal. I'd say "South Asian".

Pretty much, yes.

Not that there's anything wrong with it, just my own complex/worries.

I spent half my life thinking I was Bengali. This is about how I see myself, lookswise.

I didn't mean to imply that you were.

Just presented a scenario meant to illicit a response that would answer my question for me.

The beard and your strong and round facial structure.

Is it wrong that I feel a little flattered by that observation?

I do like to think of myself as the Asian Bill Bailey!

[Ioio316]

I would think u´re greek.

[Pro.crasti.nation]

I would think u´re greek.

Hmm, I guess it works both ways. I sometimes mistake native European people for desi.

Are you a Muslim? If so, you should manicure your beard regularly. Messy beards don’t give me proper Islamic vibe that much.

[FountainOfSalmacis]

Not really.

[Pro.crasti.nation]

Round? That's probably just the fat.

[Pro.crasti.nation]

I've always been agnostic but, from a Muslim family. Though going back in to the past, we were Hindu originally.

yes pachtoons or afghanis are aside the spooky panoply and the beards have "dinaric croocked nose" and for mister his nose is more euro,i think more with persian ancestry
because he doesn't look swarthy paki or indian,he's leucodermic meaning pale white,he's look more indo-european,not completly iranian but closed; if i may what is the country/region of your family? is it in the extreme north?

Are you asking me?

My parents are from Bangladesh, but we're not Bengali, we moved there from Delhi. We are natives of South Asia, as far as I am aware.

I wasn't always so unkempt but ... just can't be bothered.

Wow, Bengali Edward Norton!

[Sacrificed Ram]

Probably any non blond-non blue eyed people would be a potential muslim.

Interestingly the country with greater muslim population is India, then an indian should be the stereotypical muslim.

[Abdelnour]

I would say you look more Maronite than Muslim.

[Chris00009]

Si Si, Can pass but more like Sikh IMO .. Muslim power [emoji38][emoji123] Eid Mubarak [emoji2050]

[Viridian1]

Get a turban, sword, knife, shahid belt and you look muslim ;)

[RenaRyuguu]

yes you do

[Pro.crasti.nation]

Funnily enough, once had this Egyptian Coptic guy once act really surprised that I wasn't a Copt. Are Maronites similar to them?

Lol, I'm not trying to pass. My family are Muslims.
Very tempted to try out a Sikh turban ... quite a cool look.

Does he look typically Muslim, to you?

Btw, Burney is a surname I've never seen before, what ethnicity of Pakistani is he?

[Pro.crasti.nation]

That's depressing

Yeah ... hence the procrastination and weird web surfing. Grinding through the lows.

Who's that? Bhangra musician?

What's their story? Any images?

[Ayetooey]

A European cultural community.

And no bruv you look 25% Sikh 75% Buddhist with a Christian Y dna. :picard2:

[Pro.crasti.nation]

Damn, that went dark. Two thirds of way in, I was energised and ready to claim my Sikh identity, and then ... bang :(.

[Dorian]

Kind of ,cause such eyebrows add to the muslim vibe due to their commonality in muslim world but you can also pass in regions of South Europe known to have higher mena/west asian etc admixtures.

Point taken. It was just a question that's been on my mind for years.

[Negah]

You do since a large number of Muslims are not Europeans and live in mena and south Asia

You don’t look euro and you can pass in mena and South Asia

So yes many would perceive you as a Muslim

[The Blade]

Not specifically.
First association that came to my mind was Greek (Cretan especially).
East Med-Alpine.
