I want to know why people are so racist to muslims, just cause we act differently, and we do different things. just cause there are some bad people in the muslim religion, doesnt mean all muslims are bad. you people need to know the good side of the muslim community. there isnt one religion where ALL the people are good guys and all of u know that. so why cant we not be racist and get along. No offense but that pope that made that comment about our prophet was very racist. And hes soppose to be a pope. sry if that offended anyone but its true! ALL I WANT IS PEACE

"tell me something else, If I as a Christian Minister visit Saudi Arabia, or Iran, and I am carrying a Bible, what will happen ?
If I seek to hold a Church Service with Christians, or even non - Christians, what will happen ?
Can I demand the same rights in an Islamic Country as you demand in the USA ?
Should you expect better treatment here than I can expect in an Islamic Country ?"

You are correct. A lot of people, even in his own church, don't call him pope anymore. Just Mr. Ratzinger, his original name. It fits, because he acts like a rat.
The best thing to do is to keep your head up. I say the whole thing is ridiculous, as religion makes no sense anyway. But I don't think that muslims are any crazier than Christians or Jews, for whatever that's worth.

Excuse me, but the term racism has been widely used for many years, not just since 9/11. Why don't you ask why there is racism against blacks, jews, whites, chinese, or countless other races by every race who hates them? Better yet, why not ask why is there racism at all? All any of us want is peace, but there is a larger debate here concerning racism, and it does not just mean Muslims. We will never have peace until all people of color, (including whites),of different religions and faiths, can set aside their differences and work toward understanding. And this will never happen, as everyone considers their own beliefs to be right, and everyone else's to be wrong. Trying to force the American way of life (and in some cases religion) on the rest of the world is an ignorant way of making "peace", but that seems to be what our government is all about right now. Nevertheless, there will always be hatred, and the best thing to do is love your neighbor as best you can, and try to understand them. I'm sorry you were offended by what the Pope said, although I can't really understand why a Muslim would even care about what the Pope has to say. Perhaps if the Muslim community would stop being offended by every little thing everyone says about them and the faith, and just live their lives without caring what anyone thinks, that would be a good first step toward peace. Judge not lest ye be judged, right? Isn't that what you're doing as well?

I was accused by Yahoo of Hate Speech because I told the truth to a questioner about Islam !
The questioner asked his fellow Moslem's why they were so violent, and not peaceful. My answer to him was because the Koran commands Moslem's to make jihad against non Moslem's.
Tell me, was my answer Hateful, or Factual ?

Racism is not a bad word, however the action it imply's is seen as immoral by many, if not most.
The problem you are debating is a two sided problem. SOME people are racist to Muslims, as SOME Muslims are racist to "Americans"(whatever that means to you). Fact is, some Americans are also Muslim, so the circle of hate gets really tight.
We all want peace and unfortunately, so long as brothers fight within their home, the world will never be at peace because these brothers are tomorrows leaders.

Oh yeah definitely. Now everyone is more aware of muslims paying attention to them, thinking they will do something, blaming everything on them, all that because of 9/11. I agree. I have a very good friend and she is muslim. She is really down to earth and doesnt mind if i say that some muslims take things so seriously, just like the pope incident. Muslims are good people trust me, but a majority of them really have to stop showing that they are bad people. If they do, of course people are going to hate them and dislike them! Muslims are good guys, even better than non religious people today. Well true, i can go and argue both sides of the story. The pope doesnt even know the founder of Islam. I agree with you on that bit. But the muslims portray themselves this way and of course the pope is going to say something.

Islam is a religion of hate. Their Koran tells them to kill all infidels.
That is racism.
The comment made by the Pope was true, and the world saw how the hate-filled Muslims reacted, proving that Islam is a religion of hate.
Muslims will stone a rape victim to death, while letting her rapist go free, making them sexist also.

Look... I know lots of peaceful Muslims.
And my frustraton isn't with them its with religious radicals of any religion.
With that being said, I have read parts of the Quran and many other Holy Books.
And the Quran tends to be the most violent/angry.
I'm not saying that people who claim to be Christian aren't doing the same thing (George Bush?!?!) but lets face it:
George Bush doesn't worship the God... George Bush worships the Devil.
And as for the Pope, in my opinion, he worships the Devil too.
Just because I say I'm a duck and quack like a duck doesn't make me a duck.
And as for racism... it has been a bad practice for thousands of years... your never going to end it.
The people who understand that it just breaks things down do not practice racism.
But alot alot alot of people nowadays aren't thinking about other people. They are thinking about themselves.

It's not racism if it's only Mulsim males between 16 and 35.
90 year old black women and 6 year old Asians are not the ones blowing up pizza parlors and mosques.

Yes, racism is bad. But the "bad" people in your country attacked our country!
We are just supposed to say, "that's ok, come on back and let's be friends?" I don't think so!
