Just like anyone, as wonderful, as beautiful, as warm, as friendly, as hateful, as forgiving, as peace-loving, as ignorant, as educated, as faithful, as religious and God-fearing.
What makes them as hateful is the bias and prejudice that traditions made.
I was born with the muslims. I am a christian. We walked together, ate together, helped one another, studied together, worshipped apart....later sadly separated by war because of greed and political agenda. A muslim friend shot and killed my father. I almost wanted to hack him dead but my father before his last breath told me and my mother at his bedside to "forgive them because they did not know yet why they were doing it."
But then we find ourselves together again at work, at play, at schools. We carry the scars of war and hatred but live together again because we find a common bond as citizens and community. We can't live alone without the other. After all it's the same God with different name.
They are branded "terrorists". Some are but not all. The non-muslim countries are the number 1 terrorists in world war 1 and world war 2. The effects of these wars, I think, cause some muslim hearts to make even and attempt to deter other manipulative actions in the pretext of espousing democracy - - demon-cracy.
Share the land and other resources for survival so there will be peace and no more terrorists and no more branding muslims as evil. Muslims also desire the same dignity as others do have and fight for. They are as important as anyone of you in the family. Disregard one sibling and you produce a rebel in the family, isn't it? Very basic.
I met a beautiful muslim lady and she smiled so sweetly. It's all the same human form across continents. I saw a muslim father (a friend of mine) carrying his son on one arm and his baby at the other because his wife was doing the laundry. It was care and love. I took his son asleep so the father could comfortably and safely carry the baby and handle the biberon to feed her. We both laughed at the situation.
That's my personal way of thinking about the muslim ppl. It's common to see, hear and read terrorism news and muslim names tagged to them. We concentrate on the effects but forget the causes. That is the truth and consequence of a cause.

One good quality that muslims possess or known for is their care for the elderly. They personally take good care of their parents in their old age. Their parents live with them in the same house so they can answer to their needs and look after their well being. That characteristic trait of a muslim is indeed very admirable.

For many yaers Muslims had ruled the world, and they where the source of Knowledge, where at the same time europe was in its dark ages, that happened only while muslims were strongly attached with a good understanding for there religion, By time they satrts to forget and getting further from there religion , and many outsiders try to make advantage of this religion, and they starts to fall, but i am sure that will not be forever, there will be a time where muslims will under stands that their real power is in their unity and how much they related with their religion.

I don't think about Muslim people, or Christian people, or Jewish people, or Hindu people, or Buddhist people, or Atheist people. Muslim's are not all alike, nor are Christians, nor Jews, nor Hindus, nor Buddhists, nor atheists. While within these groups they may give general assent to some basic concepts and principles, the divergences are wide and varied, the practices are all over the map, the distinctives without a difference are treated as profound enough to divide over and kill over and pillage and plunder over. But in the end I find people, whatever their aculturation, ethnicity, social and religious programming are either peacemakers (living in altruism) or warmakers (living in fear and hatred), and which they will be is not determined by their religion, but how they practice their religion is determined by whether they are one or the other.
I have rarely seen warmakers improved by any religion, and just as rarely have seen peacemakers devolved by any religion, so I judge others simply by how they treat other people and not by which religious fantasy they have been trained from birth to embrace.
But to Muslims specifically: I watch the Sunni and Shia kill each other and I have to conclude Islam, as with all religions, is just an invention of man, because it's devout adherents are just as stupid and arrogant and brainwashed and foolish and unthinking and unintelligent as their counterparts in Christianity who were doing the same thing a few centuries ago. In fact you could all form one big religion for stupid and dangerous people who believe nonsense without a rational reason for doing so and are willing to kill over it.
It seems to me that if God were going to give anyone a revelation he would give a better one than the Quran. He would simply appear in the skies an make himself unequivocally known so that His adherents would not confuse His will and kill each other of this confusion. It seems quite clear to me that the only one in the cave was Mohammed, the only one on the mountaintop from whence he brought the stone tablets of the law was Moses, and the only man outside the tomb of Jesus was the gardener, for these religions have been a plague on the earth from the first and are likely to be the end of us all.
I fear someday in the future, archeologists from another planet will examine our scarred and dead world and conclude it was once populated by a species called "humans" who destroyed themselves over their imaginations of non-existent beings and arguments over what these imaginary beings would have them do.

I love them. Members of my family are Muslim and I've spent time in Malaysia which, as I'm sure you know, is a Muslim country. Great people and a great country.

I do not dislike the muslims (who);it is the religion (Islam) I currently disagree with. (Even though presently there are some things practiced by Islam people, that should be practiced by Christians also).

brainwashed. since islam is causing so much hatred in the world
muslim ppl still follow. the israel - lebanon war is caused by islam. it's just not the wars but its their views on everything. i have read the quran. did u know it said the world is flat
The earth is flat (sura 79/30)
Allah split the moon in half (sura 54/1)
i think ppl just need to use their brain and think for a few mins.
u have to also rememeber that when ppl beleive in something and has been passed over in generations etc such as religion, they will do their utmost to stick up for it, even tho they may realize something is wrong.

They are evil minions of Satan and must be eradicated at all costs.
That is just one of the many reasons I love George Bush! He is not afraid to take the battle to the muslims unlike so many presidents before him! He will change the face of the middle east and bring Christianity to the region! God Bless George Bush!
