People are too ignorant to research what they don't understand; what people don't understand, they fear. It's human nature.

Al hem do li Allah! (I'm sure I didn't spell that right, sorry) Finally, someone who is as outraged by the false information spread about Islam as I am!
In the United States especially, there is a lot of political propoganda that depicts Islam in a negative connotation. Add to that the fact that ignorant people who claim to know a lot about world religions print and publish false information about the religion and the differences between Islam and Christianity. People fail to realize the vast similarities between the religions.
I've spent the last three years of my life, as a Christian, studying the Muslim culture and Islamic faith and am personally fascinated by its history and true teachings.
I think in today's society, Islam is a misunderstood religion. Rather than focusing on the true teachings of Allah in the Quran and other holy texts, people would rather believe what they hear on television and from "friends". So many members of my family call me on a daily basis to ask me questions about Islam. Just yesterday my grandmother phoned me to ask, "A friend of mine said that the word Allah in Arabic meant rock"...."is this true?" I corrected her and let her know that the word for "the God" in Arabic was "Allah" and that "the rock" was actually Iraq. This is just my point, with the current unrest in the world, it is easy to see how people spread false information about a religion.
Lack of knowledge, ignorance and fear are the main reasons that people spread lies and attempt to depict Islam in a negative light. They fail to realize that terrorists are not following the true teachings of Islam and that their extreamist sect outrages most of the Muslim community.
I hope that helps to answer your question. Please know that there are people out there that do correct those that are misunderstanding your faith. Hopefully one day, we'll live in a society that is slightly more tolerant of other cultures and realizes that Americans (and Christians) aren't the only people in the world.
Until that day comes....

Muslims have a bad reputation in the United States right now because Islamic radicals and terrorists are our big enemy right now, so a bunch of ignorant people think that ALL Muslims are that way, and they seek to bash and undermine that entire religion in any way possible. They fail to recognize that the version of Islam practiced by 99.9999999% of Muslims is nowhere close to that radical interpretation. They're wrong, ignorant and stupid; just ignore them, although I know how hard that can be.

ppl r too lazy to get up their lazy a$$e$ and actually do some research themselves. the only thing they do is make assumptions and take teh words of media. as long as media is feeding them, which is now a days controled completely by republicans, in usa, they cannot go any far. their ignorance is only hurting ppl emotionally and psychologically. its because of ppl like them who cause chaos among those who want to live in peace. Islam itself is a peaceful religion, and teachings of Muhammad(PBUH) are to spare and being kind to one's enemy, i am not defending Islam just because i am a muslim. even if i was of any other religion, i would still say that ignorant and lazy ppl need to get their info straight. and honestly they r not gonna correct themselves on sites like these, since it is pretty much occupied by ignorants like them.....
people don't only lie abt Islam they lie abt other religions as well, and that they do to justify themselves. in other words religion is a scapegoat for their actions and believes.

When you are dealing with a big lie, it's hard to be consistent in knowing the 'true' nature of each of the smaller lies that add up to the collective of lies that form the totality of the particular fabrication.

A few things:
1. The Allah of Islam is the Arab Pagan Moon God and nothing more.
2. The Kaaba is the Jewish book of the Occult and Cult.
3. The Qor'an talks about killing people that are not of the Islam faith.
4. We are in a Freedom loving country and I will excorcise my freedoms of speach.

People tell lies about Islam because they hate us. They know that they actually have no reason at all to hate us, so they invent their own reasons. They are Iblis' companions.

The Popul Vuh, the Tipitaka, the Bhagavad-gita, the Vedas,
the Torah, the Koran, the Bible, and more are all myth!
Myths are stories with fictitious additions told by Human Beings.

""why do you think ppl tell lies about islam?""
People tell lies about islam because it is the only way they can make islam look good.
Islam is destroying society in much of the world with its twisted teachings and brutality.
The Quara'n is not error free!
It states that MY JESUS was a cheat at the Cross and had a substitute die in HIS place.
THAT IS NOT TRUE - islam has NO PROOF AT ALL that this is so.

Open your eyes, look around you and see that Islam does more harm than any other religion. It is an intolerant cult.
