They are prejudiced against Islam and the muslims because there have been so many incidences where they have been involved that people are now wary of them and dont think they are innocent. At one time it was thought that they were Ok but nowadays Islam and its followers are involved in all sorts of crime and violence so how can you expect people to think otherwise? When the followers of Islam stop resorting to violence and other crimes then the followers of other religions
and atheists will have more respect for them.Unfortunately its the black sheep that give the rest of the people of that religion a bad name.

I don't think alot of people would say prejudice is the right word...you're right there are nutters out there who don't like people just because of their religion/background.

I am assuming you are talking about the recent happenings to do with extreme muslims and terrorist acts, let me ask this; if old ladies with grey hair were blowing things up, people would sure watch out for them and check them at airports, why should anyone else be any different?

Because people are automatically assuming that they all are terrorists. It is only the minority that have been brainwashed, and many of them are of English descent. I think people making this prejudice should travel to Arab countries, and see how the majority of them are friendly hospitable people, who don't want to do wrong to the West. Also the leaders of the West cause more trouble than it's worth. Where did they get with all the wars in the middle east?

Most people don't understand their own religion and all they know about islam and muslims is what they see on the news. If they could understand that those people are extreamists and do not represent the majority they would find people like any other in the world. Islam is a beautiful peaceful religion. It has so much truth and good in it.

Hang on if we are talking about prejudice then who are 'people' and exactly how much/often is 'always'...?
Easy to generalise and that's how it starts isn't it?
Sweeping generalisations in place of rationality...

for example..Muslims are dangerous and violent or people are prejudiced against Muslims. Neither statement is true, they are both generalisations.

If you have encountered prejudice yourself personally then perhaps the people concerned are thinking in these generalised terms to save them wondering what you as an individual are like. Either that or the jihadists have them angry and scared and outraged?

It's very easy for people to become prejudice towards something they don't understand because they are terrified of it.
I'm sure there are peaceful muslims all over the world. but all other people see in the papers and the news are islamic terrorists so it's easy to judge and generalise all other muslims.

rightly or wrongly, islam gets a certain type of media coverage. all people see is suicide bombers - innocent lives being lost because of some religion. its just not seen as fair.
so i dont know whether thats an accurate portrayal of islam - i dont have enough information so am not in a position to say -but certainly the media paints a very negative picture...

Why did God make certain people muslims and others christians ?

Would it not have saved alot of time and trouble if he just appeared and said I am the only one- nothing else is relevant so can you all now stop throwing your toys out of the pram and grow up.

Aren't muslims just as prejudice about western people....that just isn't classed as the same thing because there's apparently no such thing as white racism!!!

As you have classified people as one so do people classify Muslims the same. There is good and bad in all races and creeds. Some radical Muslims have made a lot of people distrust a whole nation. Muslim faith is love and peace all politicians Muslim or otherwise would do well to follow that.
