Is Islam anti westenr?
84842
It is simply because they have a different culture and social background. For example, they might find the relations between a man and a woman outside marrige is unacceptable while in the Western Culture it is. So it's not a matter of hatred but a matter of being different. The best thing to do is to respect each other culture and accept diversity.\n\nIf Islam anti-western then no one in the Islamic world will welcome some of the western civics or mordernisation.

Islam is paranoid because the Faith is built on a violent man who let his sword speak, married children and preached violence. (link 2)\n\nThe Islamic faith isn´t backed up by historical events like the Bible. Its like some big fairy story.\n\nWhen the Danish cartoons came out, bedlam broke out and muslims went berserk. But no one complained about the Muslim cartoonist  Al Watans Anti Jewish, anti christian and anti US cartoons did they (link 1)? Was Al Watan given a fatwa, or threatened with death?\n\nIn fact governments are so scared of these lunatics they ban and remove everything which might provoke them, in fact this reply will probably be deleted for "abuse" even though its based on fact and is my free speech!!!

yes it is.. im nuetral as anyone .. the koran speaks of violene against people who do not believe islam. look at Iran .. just today the pres said he was going to cut off the hands of people who try to attack islam .. thats an actual quote form the koran. God tells us that religions will be known by their fruits.. islam has produced 1400 years of violence and chaos. and dont tell me that  its just a few extremists... its 10 percent of the entire religion around 10,000,000 people .. including the entire country of iran!

As in all religions there are some that believe certain things and others that see it a different way. Islam is not a hate oriented religion at all, they just have some hateful offspring.  Same goes with all the other religions.

This is my answer from a similar question (link in the sources).  Since many of these Islamic countries are allies of the USA, the answer is "no".  The only groups these countries must "fight back" against are the extremists in one, very numerous, sect of Sunni Islam.\n\nHere is the old answer:\nThe whole Islamic world is not even, or will ever be, allied with itself. I realize that American public education and our universities fail miserably at teaching the truth about other cultures, so here is a run down.\n\nThere are two main sects in Islam (not Muslim as being "Muslim" is a state of Islam, akin to "Nirvana"). These are the Sunnis and the Shia. The Sunnis think the Shia are apostates and traitors to Islam. Within the Sunni sect, there are several other subsects of which Whabbasism is just one. Trying to get all these sects to agree on what day it even is is difficult enough. Having them unite as one is almost impossible. \n\nThis is further complicated by the fact African, Far Eastern, and Indonesian Islamists don't like the Arabs, or each other. Al Qeada's pay and command structure further infuriated non-Arab Islamic people. Old Bin Lying doesn't pay non-Arabs as much as Arabs or let them be as high ranking in his clubhouse. Plus, the genocide in Sudan and other parts is being caused by Islamic Arabs killing Islamic Africans, along with Christian Africans. BTW, Islam refers to Jesus Christ as a prophet and pays homage to him (Guess Bin Lying forgot to read that part of the Quran!).\n\nMixed into this further the tribal and clan nature of the Middle East and Africa. The US, USSR, UK, and others have always been able to fracture the alliances by either buying off a clan or allowing the clans to fight themselves, which is usually what happens without Western involvement.\n\nAnd to top it off, a large and growing number of Islamic peoples do not hate America or what it is doing. Efforts in Afghanistan, Kuwait, Indonesia, Pakistan, and other areas where the US Military and NGOs go in are paying monumental dividends.\n\nIraqis are siding with the USA, as are Jordanians, as are the oppressed people of Iran (they just can't do much about it right now.. such is what always happens when you disarm the people). Then there are the Pastdun people of Pakistan, who, after Al Qeada abandoned them following the massive earthquake that killed 80,000+, saw the ones who rushed in was...come on, guess....That's right, the USA! And who sent massive aid to Indonesia, dispite the lies from leftists in the UN? The USA wins there too by sending very high level, and possibly vulnerable assets to the disaster area. Just like we did for Katrina later, the US military sent assault ships, one of our two hospital ships, and an aircraft carrier without its fighters but loaded with supplies and helos (the USS Kittyhawk) to the area. These efforts speak volumes to the people of the area and cause a rift between them and our enemies.\n\nSo, yes, we stand a great chance since the Islamic world is difficult to unite and easy to fracture.

The Islamic civilization is under suspicion and being accused, because a very few members of the Islamic religion is trying to obliterate countries that do not agree with them, which is most of the world.  I know that this is a very few members of Islam, not all of them.

oshnitos answer is too outragious i dont agree with him. it is ture that all religions have some primitive qualities in them and all religious fantics belive them,there are many moderate muslims who dont belive such primitive ways of islam but these fanstics want to change even these moderaters into their primitive ways look what taliban has to say ...saudiarabia also doesnt follw true islam, so you can imagine they want the whole world to go back to the periods of yore where they can follow sentesnce by sentcne of islam which is not possible now.\n\nand about how they will be destroyed? such narrow midin thinkers cannot get mass support any time and they will be destroyed all by them selves just rember whta happened to hitler who belived that germans are superior race if he is true he whold ahve been a god by now sorry he is not and he is destroyed same here these muslim fantcs will eb destryoed and new age islam will saty on same like other religions which changed their ways after a long struggle.\n\nMy only reqest to muslims is be positive and open towrds critisiam because now you ahve to live among other religions so we need to undetsand you and only through crtisisam on ecan improve.

Yes, but we need to get to the truth of the matter. Why do Muslims hate us? The answer is simple,  They learn it from the corrupt, violence riddled Quran. Here is one example from the Surah...\n\nIt is not for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. \nSurah 8:67\n\nAnother example of the extremism they are following.....\n\nFight them until there is nor more Fitnah ( disbelief, i.e. following others besides Allah) and the religion will be for Allah alone. \nSurah 8:65\n\nThis clearly states that the Quran is teaching them to fight those who do not agree with their concepts and ideas. Until all Americans turn Muslim, they will continue to spew venom towards us. They should be kicked out of the country, for I have not seen 1 Muslim protest the actions of terrorists. Have you? If they are not against it, they are for it. And yes they are for it because they are following the very teachings of Muhammad. No Muslim can be a "true" Muslim, if they do not follow what the Quran teaches. If they are not into fighting nonbelievers, (i.e. Christians, Jews...etc.) then they are not "true" Muslims.  Sooner or later the ones who claim to be Muslim, will realize this and start acting in accordance with the Quran. This is not a risk I want to take. You are right, they need to be deported, for they are here to spread Jihad.

Go to Ogrish.com and have a look at Muslims cutting off westerners heads,, thats if you have the balls to watch.This answer is aimed at all you liberal lefties, not the guy who posted the question , with whom i agree

No. A land is governed by Islam only if it follows Islamic law. So even many "Muslim countries" today are not governed by Islam.

Hi Faisel\nMost people in the west are mainly Christian and anything different\ninstills a sense of fear. This has been going on since people got\nit into their heads that since they are so clever, there must be something or someone who made such wonderful specimens!\nbut, unfortunatly some people think that their version of the almighty\nis better than joe soaps next door. Newspapers and the media alike\npick up on this and sensationlise this,it sells papers so yes they do get paid. As a non practising catholic I like many others are  uneasy with the muslim religion because it is an all or none religion and anyone who is not muslim is looked upon as no good.\nIn the west everybody is equal regards colour,creed,man,or woman. When you have people like Abu Hamza etc..etc..\ntalking ( not representing the muslim community ) about how\nnon-believers should be killed in the name of islam it is easy\nto understand why  non-muslims would fear islam. I am sure\nthat the quran was not meant to be interpretated the way some people are abiding by it these days.It is so easy for newspapers\nto have a go at islam when the muslim community lets itself\nbe represented by zeolets.To the media islam is the goose that layed the golden egg.

I haven't seen anyone make the "switch".  I hope I don't.  Islam is the religion of hate.  Even the peace loving Muslims can't argue that the teachings in their Quran are filled with hate.  While all Muslims aren't terrorists, all terrorists ARE Muslim.
