i agree! I hate what society has turned that religion into - it's seen as a cult now and it's one of the most pure monotheistic religions

When a group of people feel themselves to be superior to others and their philosophy allows them to believe that killing lesser peoples is acceptable behaviour then they recieve hatred or fear from those whom the group feel are inferiors.
When others adopt the garb or insignia or become bona fide members of such groups whether they be Nazi or Muslim then they should expect the hatred directed towards that stereotype to be directed at them in its turn.
Why is there so much Muslim stereotyping, is a quesion for Muslims, I dont know why they all seem to need to look and act the same.

For the same reason they stereotype Americans and Christians and Pagans.... People generalize in order to convey a message... usually one of dislike, discontent, hatred, etc... And disliking what the Extremist Muslims do and not really seeing anyone of their own group stand against it (I did see one person in here that was Muslim speak against it) doesn't make a person racist.... but outside of that one person, there hasn't been any. The others avoid those questions and replies all together. So it's easy to lump them all together into one stereotype.

I agree. I don't get it either. Some people aren't happy unless they're acting on their racist beliefs. I could be wrong but I think it probably has something to do with the country in general's opinion toward Middle Easterners due to the war, if not entirely.

Look at christian history and you have part of your answer, the crusades. As an ex christian I once harboured thoughts that weren't pleasant about other religions and it seems that Islam has taken a lot of flak. There are extremists in many religions, you only have to walk down the street and you will hear it preached. It is such a sad fact. I know not all christians are like it before you all start threatening to pray for me for being a sinner. It is a dreadful shame that people can't get over their bigotry and stop looking for what is different in each other and look for what we share.

Stereotyping that's a new one if people did not go on about it maybe then it would not come into that category.
I agree what is wrong with them like all nations they have a few bad apples don't we all.

Because they are all brought up with the intention that the whole world is going to become muslim and it is their job to see that this is achieved, they become fanatical. While in this country they want everything to suit them and their relgion. If we go to their country we would have to adhere to their religious format, and they won't give one inch towards our religions.

Thank you for your open mindedness! Unfortunately there are people who has the narrowest minds, that's why they stereotype us Muslims.

It isn't a matter of racism. Islam is a religion of the anti-christ. Why? Islam denies that Jesus is the son of God who died on a cross and rose again, and is the only way to salvation. That is what satan would have people believe, you see....that there is any way to God other than by His son.
