I don't think all Muslems are bad, nor do I think that all of them are terrorists, not in a million years. I've travelled to Muslem countries, and thought that the people were pretty cool.
Having said this, what sucks is ISLAM. I'm sorry, but I cannot have any respect for a system of beliefs that makes women second class citizens. Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying Islam is the only religion that sucks, they ALL SUCK, ALL RELIGIONS SUCK, religion has caused more violence, war, death & oppression than anything else in the world. But Islam seems to be the most backwards, the most extreme, the most fundamentalist. It just seems that Islamic countries are so intollerant: women are mistreated, homosexuals murdered, science is villified. I'm sorry, you can say that Islam's a religion of peace, then why is so much war-fare & violence done in the name of Allah.
There is no doubt that racism against Muslems exist. NO DOUBT. But if Muslems want the world to respect them, they should look at their behavior, which is appalling.

Not all Muslims are terrorist, but all terrorist today are Muslim. It may be easier to distinguish between the the Extremist and Moderates if the Muslims that are against these acts of violence would take a stand against them. Right now the biggest killer of Muslims is other Muslims. The suicide bombers are targeting their fellow Muslims.
As for the Americans I know, none are haters of Arabs or Muslims. America is basically a live and let live society, where all Muslims are free to practice their religion, just as all faiths are. You may be stereotyping those whom you feel are stereotyping you.

I believe there are good Muslims out there. But why won't you help us in fighting the bad ones? Yes, you say that the Muslim religion is about peace....and yet you will not help us get rid of those Muslims who are fighting in a "jihad". When the KKK was out there burning crosses in the name of the Christian God, they were condemned and brought to justice by other Christians. Why won't you do the same, when some Muslims are doing much worse things than burning crosses and beating people up?

Oh don't be another one of those people that use the word racism too much. To me all religions a idiotic,and have no place, in government, or business. There is too much killing for religious reasons by almost all of the major groups, and I see it as the single largest threat to mankind as a species, that has ever been. For the record, I dislike all religion, not the people that are ignorant enough to be blinded by it.

Because muslims have NOT condemed this murderous act loudly and by the millions...
By and large, most of the muslim world seems to support Radical Islam , Islamic terrorism and the Islamofaschist states in their hatred and planned destruction of western civilization...
A "stereotype" is not 100% inclusive, it is simply a large majority.
If all Muslims laid down their arms today, there would be lasting peace in the Mid East tomorrow...
If all the Israeli's laid down their arms today, Israel would be destroyed and all Jews murdered in less than a month.
No one with any intellectual honesty can deny this..
Now where is the problem coming from ???????
The problem is Islamic...From the Muslims...

I have been very fortunate WAY before 9/11 to meet and become friends with Middle Eastern muslims who came to the USA for a better life. Just like many others who have to come America.
Its so easy I have learned, for people to fault one person for the whole bunch. Its like having a good back of apples, but theres' one in there that has a worm, so you throw out the whole bag of apples.
Its makes so since. America is full of people who like to point fingers, instead of people who want to embrace others with a hug.
But I will say, the fact that have some Muslims, who do take this kind of violent action, confuses people who never had the opportunity to meet nice muslims.

It's like the Muslims grouping all American's as they do. It's too bad people act like that, but they do. I have a lot of great Muslim friends that I care very much for. It's too bad the world can't get along, but they never have, and probably never will. It's truly sad ~~

Because Muslim leaders do Not condemn terrorism. By not condemning, they are condoning. I saw many Muslims dance for joy when they heard of 3,000 Americans who were killed. I saw no demonstrations against this terrorist act in a Muslim country. Correct me if I'm wrong.

maybe its because the supposedly decent muslims have done little or nothing to denounce the actions of the terrorists,maybe its because when the towers were hit,muslims throughout the middle east and even here in america danced and rejoiced in the streets..maybe it is because it has been widley reported that all muslims hate america and americans...maybe its because the terrorists claim the koran mandates the killing of all who are not muslim,and the mainstream muslims say or do nothing to change this perception

i can accept this fact. sure there's bad Muslims and good Muslims, just as there are good and bad Christians etc. i think it's just that more Muslims should be seen to be standing up against what happened
