How do you allow yourself to get beat up by a pos cac like this.
Seriously. No way she should have had this happen unless she's trying to get paid. If that was my wife I'd probably kill this cac. Self defense. I'd break her neck.That's the issue here.
Muslim Somali woman Asma Jama forgives the woman who attacked her for speaking Swahili
Sometimes there's nothing more powerful than forgiving those who have wronged you.
In a hearing on Tuesday, Asma Jama forgave the white womanwho attacked her at an Applebee's in !!!! Rapids, Minnesota. Jama, a hijab-wearing Muslim Somali, turned to Jodie Burchard-Risch, 44, and with the help of Islam, said she was able to forgive her.
"My religion teaches me to forgive so I can get on with my life," Jama said, according toBuzzFeed News. "If I hold a grudge, if I hold the hate you hold towards me against you, it's not going to serve me well. So, in front of everybody here, I do forgive you and I hope that you choose love over hate."
In October 2015, Jama was eating dinner with family and friends at Applebee's. Jama, who is fluent in three languages, spoke in Swahili with her dinner companions. This prompted Burchard-Risch to accost Jama, telling her to speak English and go back to her country.
Here are Jama's remark in full:
What happened to me on that day is unacceptable, it shouldn't happen to anybody else. I used to be a carefree person and now I can't go anywhere by myself. It really impacted and changed my life for the good, and for the bad too. I just wanted to say that I'm happy it's over. It's been a long year.
I am a strong person, I will keep fighting, what happened to me should never happen in the state of Minnesota, should not happen just because you're different.
Jodie, what you did to me that day wasn't good. You should never do anything like that to anybody. But I just wanted to tell you in front of everybody today that I do forgive you.
My religion teaches me to forgive so I can get on with my life. If I hold a grudge, if I hold the hate you hold towards me against you, it's not going to serve me well. So, in front of everybody here, I do forgive you and I hope that you choose love over hate.
I really do, because it makes your life easier. Having hate just eats at you, it's not good. I hope you find what you're looking for at the end of your journey. I know you've had just as long of a year as I've had.
My intentions toward you are not bad. I don't have any ill feelings towards you. I just want you to understand at the end of all this that we are all the same. It doesn't matter what's on my head, it doesn't matter the color of my skin — we are all the same human beings, we are fighting for the same rights.
I am an American citizen and I would fight for it today as much as you would. So I just want you to understand you hit somebody you didn't know anything about. I do speak English, I speak very well English, I work every single day just like you do, Jodie.
So I hope you learn at the end of all this we are all the same, there's no difference between me and you.

If you have any kind of spiritual upbringing or even believe in a higher power of any kind, you will forgive. But forgiving does not mean you don't want justice or doesn't want that person hurt or prosecuted. It sometimes meaning you're freeing yourself of hate or malice. That shit eats at you.
I don't always agree and I've even spoke against it, but I understand it.
The lady in the story never asked for leniency for her attacker. So please understand what most are saying.
So whether you believe in God, Allah, Buddah or your damn dog, it's not about them, it's about YOU.
I agree with you on the public forgiveness. Not one time did I say forgive in public. Now that I don't agree with because it can send the wrong message, but I will say people serve whomever they serve/worship differently. But because I dislike whites so much, I know I couldn't publicly forgive.I've heard people say this before, but where this argument falls apart is the fact that if its always about YOU then why make the forgiveness a public event. If people want to get right with their god then by all means forgive them in their hearts and profess it in prayer to their god. If its NOT about the perpetrator then why offer them and the people who support them yet another victory by comforting them and resolving them of blame. I think publicly forgiving someone that has wronged you is just anther way of giving in to defeat and hoping people will feel sorry for you.

The power of forgiveness.She got 6 months prison sentence. Thats it. Maybe she wont even do a couple days. Sad
Everyone is different.I can hate a person for the rest of my life.
I only forgive people I love and care for. Not a random mofo. Not even close.
I'm not a spiritual mofo like that.
Everyone is different.
