I think that if people are going to put a label on you because you are Muslim,,then why are the Nuns considered to be good and role models, and why is it that they are allowed to go around wt their head covered and it is acceptable. but yet a sa Muslim wears her head covered we are considered"oppressed,low self-esteem". \n I beleive that as a Muslim you should be looked at for who you are,,what good you do.\n I beleive that a person should meet and get to know a MUslim before they can "assume" anything about them!!!

well, since you're a mulla, you should pray to Allah and he'll do it for you. All this POP3 and reply-to settings are for infidels.

No, I've been very lucky. If anything, once people know more about my religion after I explain things to them, they usually have high respect for my beliefs. I haven't been made fun of, just annoyed sometimes by people's ignorance. That's about it. However, I don't really blame them for not knowing about Islam. They live in a society where it is still quite unusual to them. Our job is to educate them, and let them know about our beliefs. I enjoy talking to people about my religion. The worst thing they'll do is act like they're not interested, and then I won't push the issue. I have almost been bullied by someone before, but stood up for myself, and put them in their place. We ended up respecting each other, and had no future problems. Sometimes, you have to stand up for your beliefs. As far as being called a terrorist, lol! I am so used to hearing that word, that I've become immune to it. As long as we know that is a lie made up by the government, and that we are peaceful, then we will project that to others, and they will want to be our friends, Insha Allah. That is the attitude I approach others with. If they don't want to like me because I am a Muslim, then I really don't think they matter any way. Salam.

I don't think you are a middle eastern or a muslim when I read your questions.  The first thought that came into my mind was a very heavy-handed and one-sided bias.  I am glad that you are doing the necessary research to justify and re-affirm your convictions, but I somehow get the feeling that you are specifically researching to judge and condemn.  Don't get me wrong, I get what you are trying to do, I just can't seem to shake the impression of rabid.\n\nI am anti-war too, and I grew up amongst muslims; some have been my best friends and some my worst religious and cultural enemies, but I still seek out, talk to, and most importantly, listen to both sides of the conflict.\n\nAcknowledging the bad is good, but acknowledging the good is also crucial, although the most important is learning from your mistakes and rectifying it (and trying not to crow in the process).\n\nThat was a general statement, it was not directed at you specifically, if you are so inclined to take offense.\n\nMay God and His Word dictate your actions.

With all due respect to you,\n\nI reveal two facts that you can choose to believe from your own wisdom;\n\n1. Muhammed "Sinned", he was a "Child Molester"!\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/AntiJihad/mo_pedo.html\n\n2. Jesus "Never Sinned", He has power over Life and Death!\n\nHis bones are absent from the grave!\n\n\nWho is the One that we should listen to?\n.........................................................\n\nAlso, it is Not ignorance to not want to embrace Islam when you consider the actions of Muslims and their rejoicing in them.\n\nhttp://www.faithfreedom.org/Gallery/14.htm\n\n.........................................................................\nAddition,\n\nDefinition; objectivity\n\nn : judgment based on observable phenomena and uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices [syn: objectiveness]\n\nMy conclusions are based on the observable phenomena of "Muslims" "Blowing Up Innocent People"!!\n\nAnd Muslims Murdering people that don't believe in their Religion\n\nhttp://www.prophetofdoom.net/article.aspx?g=406&i=46007\n\nAnd if I was influenced by my emotions, I would be using way, way, harsher, and abusive words than I am using now.\n\nAlso, it was after 9-11 that I started reading the Quran for myself wanting to know about Islam.\n\nAfter reading Muslim sites and History about Muhammed, I found out what a Horrendous and Evil man Muhammed was!\n\nhttp://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina/looting.htm

Your intent is not understood.  People think that you are inciting hatred towards Muslims.  But all you have done was shown a video where a little Muslim girl is doing the talking herself.  \n\nI think you have a genuine concern that a huge percentage of our world's population is being raised with hate ideology.  It is reason to be concerned.  \n\nI think you want Muslims to become better people, as you would want all to become better people.  However your phraseology is extreme sometimes.  You say things like "idiots" and that can be taken as hatred of Muslims.  I understand your frustration, and I appreciate your desire to reform the world towards peace, but I think if I were you, I'd use kinder language sometimes so that people do not misread your intent.

Hey dude, I do protest these things. Search for Question post in here by a girl who said that she proud to be a Muslim. And I'm proud to be a Muslim.\n\nCompare to Muslims all over the world, how many 'the so-called 'Muslim Terrorists' are there? 100%? 10%? 1%? I even doubt it's 0.1%. \nBecause this minority we have to take the blame. Do you really think we enjoy for what they have done to us? To our religion? To our Prophet? To Our God? Think!\n\nThey bombed something, they died and buried. They shoot someone, they ran and hide. Guess who's left to take the blame? Us. And better yet, you of all people blame us. Again.\nThese things repeated all over again.\n\nFirst of all, IF THEY DO UNDERSTAND ISLAM, THEY WON'T USE VIOLENCE.\n\nSecondly, IF THEY REALLY FIGHTING FOR JIHAD, WHY WOULD THEY WEAR SOME CHEAP SKI-MASKS? Why they don't show their faces?\nI mean, they think fight for justice, then show their faces to us so that we can know they are truly or not fight for Jihad.\n\nThirdly, SUICIDE IS FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM. Jihad in Islam means to sacrifice your money and time for greater good. \nIt's also mean TO SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE TO PROTECT OTHERS. \nNOT TO SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE TO HURT OTHERS. \nAnd these maniacs go againsts it. They are disobey the Command of the Allah. Totally go against it.\nAnd you, again blaming the peace loving religion Islam and the good Muslims for that. \n\nWell I guess these things going to repeat until there is no good human souls left to really realize the truth.\n\nAnyway, may God and Jesus bless you so that you can understand the Real Islam. Insya-Allah.

(this isn't an answer directly to the question but is just a comment on the latest answer that has been posted...)\nthe words you have written clearly speaks of your lack of knowledge in what you are supposedly trying to comment to...\nfirstly, the Bible speaks of those things, correct but it doesn't lie on the same plane as the argument being presented in the question...we don't condemn the violence in Koran or like what happened in the Bible...it is simply a question of faith and what kind of leader you are following....\n\n\nIslam: "Religion of Peace" \n\n"Those that make war against Allah and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land. They shall be held up to shame in this world and sternly punished in the hereafter." (Sura 5.33-34) \n\n"Allah revealed His will to the angels, saying: 'I shall be with you. Give courage to the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers!' That was because they defied Allah and His apostle. He that defies Allah and his apostle shall be sternly punished by Allah." (Sura 8.12-13) \n\n"In order that Allah may separate the pure from the impure, put all the impure ones [i.e. non-Muslims] one on top of another in a heap and cast them into hell. They will have been the ones to have lost." (Sura 8.37) \n\n"Muster against them [i.e. non-Muslims] all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them who are unknown to you but known to Allah." (Sura 8.60) \n\n"Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and deal harshly with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate." (Sura 9.73) \n\n"When We resolve to raze a city, We first give warning to those of its people who live in comfort. If they persist in sin, judgement is irrevocably passed, and We destroy it utterly." (Sura 17.16-17) \n\n"We have destroyed many a sinful nation and replaced them by other men. And when they felt Our Might they took to their heels and fled. They were told: 'Do not run away. Return to your comforts and to your dwellings. You shall be questioned all.' 'Woe betide us, we have done wrong' was their reply. And this they kept repeating until We mowed them down and put out their light." (Sura 21.11-15) \n\n"When you meet the unbelievers in jihad, chop off their heads. And when you have brought them low, bind your prisoners rigorously. Then set them free or take ransom from them until the war is ended." (Sura 47.4) \n\n"Mohammed is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another." (Sura 48.29)\n\n__________________________________________\n\nPeople perish because of the lack of knowledge.

I don't have an answer to that question, except maybe bad press. I just wanted to say that I agree with you. Muslims seem to be way more violent than blacks. The funny thing is that they have the nerve to use RELIGION as a reason for the violence.
