again, I am asking you to answer the question. I am not trying to be hateful but I want to know that I am incorrect with the stereo type or am I correct?

Try looking at Oman. Nice little country. :) But I am biased.

Interesting observation. Heres an explanation. The countries that you are calling Islamic, might be so by name, but practically, I can't think of any country that is an appropriate example of how an islamic state should opperate. Its not the religion that you should be attributing these injustices to, but rather the inhabitants, leaders, and the poor socio-economic framework in general.
Then again, like some people have already mentioned, what country in the world, regardless of religion or race, hasn't fought amongst themselves, isn't stricken by poverty, or hasn't killed women or children at any point in history?

Turkey is a fairly peaceful Islamic country.
The problems in the Islamic countries have more to do with poverty and politics than the religion. If the societies can develop modern, prosperous economies and non-oppressive political systems, the religious system will modernize along with the societies, as it did in Turkey. Unfortunately, it doesen't look like those kinds of changes are going to happen anytime soon.

I do not wanna be mean but a lot of Muslim people are cold and cruel. And the Tarrah doesn't say the word love once. And I know for a fact Brazil hasn't killed children or woman and i think Australia has ether but I'm not sure about the second one.

Your point is considered, but the same could be said of any country run or dominated by any other religion also.
Judge a religion by its teachings, not its people, who are not infallible. And judge a country by its citizens, not its government.
Best wishes.

Well, heck. Why not look for that in ANY COUNTRY?
Can you name one country where it's people did not, at one point or another, murder innocent women and children and people of other religions?

What you said applies to every country at some point in it's history.

You forgot the american war from 200 years between north and south ( they were not moslems),, you forgot the war between England and France (they were not moslems),, you forgot the war between Japan and china (they were not moslems),,Also there are wars in islamic countries,, but most are not between moslem and moslem like the wars I mentioned but between moslems and people want them to leave their religion as in Azerpigan,,Bosna,,India,,......etc,,, The only war between moslem and moslem is now in Iraq only and this one has an invisible hands forcing it,,,
So,, you are not right

I wish they would just hurry up and wipe each other off the face of the earth and be done with it, instead of having more of our loved ones killed trying to help,,,just leave them to it.!

How about Indonesia, the U.K., the U.S., and Canada.
Now, the same question can be asked about Christianity.
