Answer 1

Rather than give you the "knee jerk" response I was ready to shoot on reading your question, here's a less passionate take on the content of your question:

First of all - examine your source of information. "Headlines." The news business focuses on dramatic events and generally news of conflict, tragedy, loss and scandal. Some people complain about that, say the news is always bad and so forth. But it's the esential nature of the news. Remember the old adage - "Dog bites man" is not news - "Man bites dog" IS news. So there is n inevitable result of watching or reading news that you get the impression everything connected with Islam today is bad - and of course all you are getting is that side of a far greater, more complex and much less horrific mixture of culture and religion that most Westerners (and especially Americans) see or understand.

Second - you are still missing the many, many news reports that are NOT about Islam and warfare or terrorism or other such horrors. There are reports about the positive works done by groups we despise - although we see this largely as a kind of propaganda, the way Americans used to decry Russian foreign aid projects under Soviet Communism, the truth is that Hamas and Hezbollah and several other militant Islamic groups also sponsor schools, hospitals, food aid, community investment and public service. In other words, besides taking aggressive, hostile positions toward the Western world, these organizations do act on their principles in the same way that many virulently-anti-Islamic Christian organizations engage in positive public services.

Third - Islam is far from a "monolithic bloc" arrayed aginst secular Western nations, secular Arabic or Turkic governments, or nations following other majority religions. This is the same mistake many Westerners, especially extremely right-wing Americans, made when facing the spread of imperial Communism during the Cold War. As a result, many terrible policy decisions were made. The most glaring example from that past was the shock experienced when China and Russia fell out during the late 1950's and early 1960's. World Islam has many large divisions, and not only on doctrinal lines (eg, Wahhabism, Sunni, Shi'a, etc.). For every gun-toting zealot in Islam, there are 10 or more peopeful people who view the dictates of their religion, and the context of their cultures, in a different way. Westerners today should be extremely careful about presuming that Islam is a complete and total enemy and that all Muslims should be oppressed or eliminated - that is the path to a total cultural war that will plunge the world into heartache, death and destruction for centuries.

Fourth - many people around the world despise the United States as an oppressor, a two-faced country that says one thing and does another, or have suffered loss in conflict in which the U.S. was either the principal combatant or sponsor of the combatant (as is the case now in Lebanon - the U.S. is clearly a firm supporter of Israeli actions). Sometimes those feelings have legitimate origins - usually not. The U.S. has been especially two-faced under the Bush Regime, but in general that has not been the case in American policy. But people personalize their feelings, they respond to their own experiences. If you were a resident of the international port city of Tyre, engaged in a relatively peaceful life and not connected at all with hezbollah, how would you feel after Israeli jets destroyed your home, family, business and community with U.S.-made bombs? How long would it take you to pick up a rock and throw it at the nearest symbol of either country - and, for good measure, spit into the dustry streets and curse Hezbollah, as well? People in the midst of such emotions are easy prey for one side or the other - radicalize your former peace-loving neighbor and you now have a soldier in a burning cause.

The ultimate point of this essay is to suggest you think about what you asked, There's more to the assumptions behind your ideas and they are worthy of examination. Islam by iteself is not a pernicious religion, any more than Christianity is. Both are awash in blood, however. You should study history, geography, economics, and comparative religions if you are serious. And you should truly stop and think about characterizing ANY group of people with a thoughtless stereotype that harms your reasoning and does violence to the truth.

Maybe the people of "other races" are not poor, unemployed and hungry. Did u ever think of that?

If u woke up in the morning to find no running water or electricity to heat your coffee then maybe u would be closer to feeling like 70% of the worlds population does!

I've lived in the so-called developed world all my life and i see people all around that are very dangerous in their actions also, and guess what, they are not muslims.

Look at the headlines around u each day and ignore the propaganda channelled through our tv's by the western governments!

For example, Mr Bush wouldn't know "the root cause" if it hit him in the face. Finding the root cause of extreme religious idiology is not about bombing the **** out of innocent people living there lives.

This is all i have to say, but please please open your eyes and see the world from all points of view, only then can we humans live to see another 100 years on this planet.

Answer 3

I agree with you. They seem to always make the news because they hate a new group of people and are trying to kill them all.
I have never seen a headline about the muslim who gave to charity or saved a family from a burning building. Don't anticipate I ever will. It's the nature of the beast.

Answer 4

I'm sure there are also good things about the Muslims too, I remember now we have Azerra (is the spelling correct ?),Arab new agency in English ,which is operating from Malaysia ,lets send them and others Arab and Islamic agencies in English that we wish to receive positive news and positive value of Islam and Muslim to be propagated ,to balance up the supposed to be bias report and one sideded angle in the Western medias they have been talking so long .

I think it is time now for the Muslim world especially the wealthy ones to stand up to the obligation they owe to their brothers and the world and answer the call of civilized society to correct the imbalances of media reports and communication gap ,and the right the wrongs,if they really think that they are wrong ;and thereby set the stage for a better understood Muslim world and their good values(I'm sure they have) ,as Islam is one of the important and influential civilizations shaping our world ,and I'm sure it is the wish of the cilvilized society and enlightened individuals to share their good values which are marginalised for so long !

Answer 5

The problem is that these people are so poor, they have nothing but war. If your life is so terrible the only thing you have to look forward to is the glorious afterlife that their religion professes. Becoming a martyr ends their terrible life and takes them to the glory land. People that carry on normal lives are not news worthy in any media.

Answer 6

First of all, why do you think all people of one religion are the same?

Secondly, why do you think all counties, races and religions have to play by our Western rulkebook?
