What a Muslim really is?

Question

when i say muslim most people get the idea that they are terrorists and crazy people. this is untrue and has been fed to mindless inbred morons who think it is true. first of all a Muslim is derived from the word peace Islam is derived from the word peace we are not bad people we do not want to destroy america and we don't accept the way other muslims are crashing planes and bombing buildings people who dont understand islam cannot see that it is a peaceful religion and to understand it you have to be willling to learn about it here is what everyday i face in my muslim life

1. hatefull insults
2. steriyotypes
3. and many more things

just cause 2 idiots bombed a tower doesnt mean it was the rest of us just cause some nutjob decideds to blow himself up doesnt mean it is the rest of us so please start treating muslims as you would treat any other religion

Answer 1

I agree, People don't know what another person is like. Just steriotype a group of people just as the media says. I am Muslim and I have to deal with this everyday. Female muslims are more easily identified because of our hijaab and there's no excaping the prejudice for us when we go out. I've had someone confront me in the grocery store who didn't like my religion. She asked me how many times my husband beats me a day (He never laid a hand on me) and when is he planning to blow himself up. I just ignored her and walked away but she came up behind me and snatched my hijaab off my head (along with a handful of my hair, Ouch!). I never discriminate on someone about their religion and I wish nobody would hate me because of mine.

Answer 2

I agree with you. Truthfully, I don't know much about Muslims. But just because I don't understand your religion doesn't mean I don't respect you. I do understand though that it's the Muslim radicals who are doing the bombing. I don't hate all Muslims, only the ones responsible, just as I would hate them if they were any other religion. I don't have a religion, but I have learned respect for all religions, whether I agree with them or not. Other people would do well to look at the big picture and not categorize Muslims as terrorists. As far as I'm concerned, radicals in every religion or culture are terrorists if they highjack planes and bomb buildings and kill thousands, millions of people. Hate is not why people disrespect Muslims. It's ignorance.

Answer 3

Granted all Muslims are not terrorists. Many are born into that religion and that is how they are. Others convert and and are peaceful and a few become terrorists.

Have you heard of a Buddhist terrorist?
or an Amish terrorist?

Maybe you've heard of an Eastern Orthodox terrorist,Baptist terrorist?

Do you get the point? NO other religion teaches that you have to convert others by force or if they refuse to convert, kill them except Islam.

Most Islamists are benign, however, its the Fundamentalists who take every word in the Quran seriously that are the cause of the problem of global terrorism.

Answer 4

I have to say you are jumping here, we just do not know for sure yet even if media and involved people say something about it. For instance terrorism was intended as the employ of force to commit murder by fear and aiming at fear results. Now many do not fear anymore right? that means clearly terrorism is no longer. Now those men who died in those airplanes if such may have not been foreigners or even members of secret societies, we all know explosions create all kinds of time-space distortions called van hollen rips, it is around earth too, perhaps to enhance the feeling we are in the same planet and should focus on common objectives, not to plan forward and accuse those in our paths of being something strictly different than one.
You are not making a positive question mate, so let´s face it, everyone does notice you are religious and you as every other person here like what happened, life is like that, will you ever grant others reason? that is religion, it is outrageous and efimerous, not just untrue pal. Respect your mind and truth shall present itself to you, that is scholastic behavior, plus you need to understand logic implies my explanation makes me smarter than you and so many others, you are making a huge damage on your mental stability, this is karma and cancer dismay, you will know nonetheless, respect or be respected not.
