US Muslims say anti-Islam bias on rise

[- Qatada -]

:salamext:


To the muslim brothers and sisters out there, i seriosly think you should cut down on this section and we'd rather defend our religion through knowledge instead of arguing with people online about something that people might just want to argue about.


just some advice insha'Allaah, and remember - all our disputes will be sorted out on the day of judgement insha'Allaah.

Spot on. You blaim the ones responsible and don't balame some one else. I see so many times, people just "pass the buck".

Thats right! Blame the people that are responsible. Not the muslims and Islam OK?

 

[wilberhum]

In what way do these action have anything to do with the teachings of Islam?

Where did I even mention the word Islam?

I have spoken to many non-muslims who say before finding out about islam their bias was due to the Media labelling terrorists as muslims and not as the actions of a mad man.

Are you saying that the mad men did not claim to be Muslims?

Now I ask you how can the actions of a few individuals make such a strong bias againsts Islam, followers of which number over 2 billions? Why are the actions of a few individuals who commit atrocities in the name of Islam, even though islam condemns such atrocities, affecting over 2 billion muslims?

Why do you think that I think the actions of a few represent the masses?

fact remains more muslims have died due to oppression and offenses against them in last 10 years (and most probably longer) then any number in the world, but only the muslims are being labelled as extremists and terrorists.

So are we talking about evil actions or just the most evil? Should we ignore all evil that is not the worst evil?

So I disagree the the bias against islam is due to the majority of the media that misrepresent Islam.

Each is entitled to there own openion.
I still think terrorist who claim that they are doing there deeds for god is the cause of Islamaphobia.

There are many factors involved in so-called "Islamophobia". I believe the terrorism is the major factor in the equation. Does the media contribute to this by covering terrorist activities? Yes, but you can't blame the media for what terrorists do. I wish we could separate terrorism from Islam, but unfortunately the terrorists do everything in their power to make sure this cannot happen. Nothing is as simple as "Every Muslim is a terrorist" or "The media and Bush hate Muslims". Those are polar extremes.

Let's be honest for a second. Can there be any doubt what caused the increase in anti-Islamic sentiment in the U.S.? The 9-11 attacks caused this, not Bush policy or talk radio. It is natural and should have been expected. That doesn't justify any action against American Muslims, many of which are just as patriotic as anyone else. It is unfortunate that the actions of a few radical extremists can have such an impact on their brothers and sisters of the same faith, but it cannot be avoided. The answer is education and exposure to the Islamic community within the U.S. However, the belief that in 40 years Islam will be illegal in the U.S. is simply absurd.

No offense to you, but have you watched Prison break, perhaps you should, if so, watch it again. Because it clearly shows that America is just as currpted as any other country, an individual, religion, and race can be blammed for a crime that was never in the first place committed by them. I know for sure that there were no muslims out there that would do such a thing, but how about your people, I think they will do anything, even their own family members.

Think about it.

 

[guyabano]

Yes, the radicals.

hmmm, curiously, most muslims countries do nothing against radicals. Sometimes, I even get more the feeling, they also get feed by them !

Not in my country... many radicals are detained under ISA (Internal Security Act) - imprisonment without trial...

Think about it.

I'm slightly confused on what I should be "thinking" about. Are you suggesting that Muslims didn't commit 9-11 or cut off heads on videotape? If so, perhaps you should "think" about the land of denial you live in.
