Some of you might have read about when I got banned from the mosque I frequented because of my body odour problem caused by my medication. I managed to find a different mosque at the beginning of September and although it was a struggle adjusting my routine to fit around the travel to the mosque in a part of the city I haven't been down for a few years, they made me feel accepted and told me that Allah will always bless me even when I told them about the cause of my body odour and my Aspergers Syndrome diagnosis. When we all stood together during the prayer session, nobody seemed intolerant of me.

It's good to hear that you found a suitable mosque.

Sometimes not everyone goes to every session

Sometimes intolerant people change mosques

Sometimes people that appeared tolerant end up intolerant

Not everything is the way it appears

According to your post, you have only been to that mosque since September

It is just October

It is possible that you have not met the intolerant members yet

Also not everyone expresses intolerance the same way

For example, someone might be gossipping behind your back


Nobody perfect, although some people act like they are perfect
