Great question.It may have something to do with the 9/11 because Osama Bin Laden had made an attack right.May be since then people do not believe in Muslims and think that any Muslim is a Terrorist and are untrustable.Well about the Hijab/scarf,i have seen some people here in U.K wear them but its just normal for people like me and the society to accept them as Muslims and not Terrorists.There are people who do not take the matter as a Terrorist thing but just to make fun out of someone for time pass perhaps.Well this is my answer,if still someone disagrees,try to send a better answer than me.This questions like a Debate.Once more a great question.According to the source may be people do not believe in Allah and Islam.

well it has always been that way since the start. im not blamin all of u, but there r some who just dun wanna listen. some people carry a very bad disease called hate with them so beware of such people. they will always try to create mischeif among 2 good freinds.

quran 17:37
"do not walk in earth haughtily. surely u can never tear the earth nor can rival the mountains high"

quran 49:11
"o u who beleive! no one should mock or ridicule other peiople, for the ridiculed ones are better than those who ridicule them..."

surah al-baqarah from quran3:22-24
"Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped).
And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Quran) to Our slave (Muhammad Peace be upon him ), then produce a Surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allah, if you are truthful.
But if you do it not, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers. "

quran3:173
"those to whom people said: truly the people have gathered against u, so fear them. the threat of danger but increased their faith and they cried: aAllah is enuf 4 us! Most Exellnt is He in whom we trust"

quran 70:5
"be patient o muhammed with the finest patience"

quran 46:35
"then have patience as most determined of the messengers before u had patience"

quran 3:200
"o u who bleive! endure and outdo all others in endurance, be ready, and observe ur duty to Allah, so that u may suceed"

well if a nun covers herself from head 2 toe, the she is practising her faith.
but if a muslim woman wears purdah, she is opressed.

when a western woman is a stay at home mom, she is sacrfifing her life for her family.
but when a muslima does that, she needs to b liberated.

when a jew grows a beard, he is practising his traditions.
but when a muslim man does that, he is a terorist.

everytime something happens with a christian, jew or anyone, reliogion is not mentioned.
but when a muslim is involved, it is islam that goes to the trial.

but insite of all this today islam is the fastest growing reliogion in the world.

wat has the liberation of women done good for them/
how many women leaders r there in us parliment?
how many women r sexually abused?
how many girls r forced to prostitutuion and making adult movies.
how many women hav the right 2 vote?

islam gave women so much respect. when christians say that mary was having an illegimate child, it was islam that said she was exalted among all the women and she was chosen.

wow thats wat the liberalisation u r speakin of. to make woman an object of sex an attraction.

islam is sayin no to it

1. The misunderstanding of all of us creates such problems, irrespective of religion. I mean to say more precisely that not only non-muslims have understood incorrectly but more is the problem is with those who try to become the GOD FATHER of a religion whether Islam or other. Osama calls it "Jihad" but what is he doing - is killing innocent people. Does it mean Islam is incorrect? No the problem is with understanding of Laden (Osama Bin).
2. The misunderstanding occurs with other issues as well, like reading something and drawing a conclusion what we want to conclude. So, even though Mohommad supported wars, but we need to understand that he was pro wars because in that era he was dealing with tribes and in near history he saw/heard a prophets killing (Jesus) so to propogate his messages (Gods messages) he had to become a warrior.
And people like Osama has considered that for Islam it is important to kill non-muslims. This misunderstanding has to be wiped out from such fandamentalists.

So, the whole world has to learn that there are misunderstandings which needs our attention thats it.

God loves all people muslim or not. Jesus died on the cross for all people whatever their creed or colour, sinners and saints. He wants all people to come to repentence and live in heaven with Him. The difference is He is a gentleman and He waits to be asked into people`s lives. He then comes into your heart by the power of His spirit and once you know Jesus loves you the truth is clear. There are no different faiths and church denominations in heaven only Believers - Christians - christs`ones. Anyone not believing this should ask Jesus into their life if He is not real nothing will happen will it!!!
