Why are people so willing to believe every lie about Muslims???

Answer 1

It’s called The Sun. Have you seen that the page 3 models now give ‘their’ opinion on topical news events? The lies spread like this:

Man picks up copy of The Sun.
Man turns to third page.
Man looks at pair of breasts displayed on page.
Man reads caption – Kursty Double D says “I think Muslims are intolerant’.
‘Hmmm,’ says man ‘with a pair like that, how could she be wrong?’. Indeed.
Man ventures into outside world. Finds public house.
Beer is procured.
Friend enters pub.
Friend asks man “So, these Muslims hey? What do you reckon?”
“Err..In…Tol…E..Rant…” says man.
“Oh?” says friend.
Mmm…Breasts, thinks man.

great question, I additionally study the Qur'an after 9/11 and characteristic variously been informed here, especially on Yahoo Q & A: Islam is a faith of peace. 'Extremists' are no longer 'genuine' muslims. The Koran exhibits includes precise medical innovations. Muslims are responsible for many medical discoveries. Suicide bombers have misinterpreted the Koran. cutting-edge atrocities committed via muslims are likened to the Christian Crusades. The IRA have been religious terrorists. Muslim terrorists whilst in comparison with ChristianTimothy McVeigh or Christians who bomb abortion clinics. there is not any data muslims have been responsible for 9/11. 9/11 exchange into perpetrated via the U. S. government so as that that they had have an excuse to pass to conflict with Iraq. 9/11 and seven/7 have been justified by way of fact individuals/uk foreign places coverage. women each and every physique is equivalent in Islam. lady genital mutilation is to ward off muslim women human beings being untrue. Islamic dress protects women human beings from sexual harrassment.

Answer 3

That is the big question. Inspite of the information-explosion in the era of internet and large scale publishing of good honestly researched books, and good teachings on Islam in the Universities of the West, the understanding on the basics of Islam and the Holy Prophet of Islam does not trickle down to the common citizens of the world. Some questions and comments in this Yahoo/ forum were simply an expression of ignorance or the dis-information for which the media is usually blamed. The actual source of canards may perhaps be the teachings in the sermons at the pulpit ! And this all is despite the endeavours of the Inter Religious Dialogue groups....Thanks for a good question.

Answer 4

because the media has trundled out so many slanted stories encouraging islamophobia so that the made up story looks no less credible than what is in the Daily mail.

However, why are all the questions you've asked about islamic people? what exactly is your axe to grind? are you a WU or is there some serious point. Cards on the table please.

Answer 5

Doesn't surprise me. People worship Tom Cruise and Paris Hilton. 16 percent of 300million people think WTC was blown up by government. People by books that claim to have cure for cancer 3 in morning. 911 thing gave everybody preconception about Muslim and it won't go away anytime soon.

Answer 6

Why would you care about muslims? Let them speak for themselves and say such things as: We don't like those baddies in the Middle East who cut off heads and kill chil'ren and babies and fear seeing boobies. And, the media is so liberal they lie about the U.S. and bloody good England, etc. The media Loves muslims 'cause it is the liberal thing to do.
And I am a Liberal......Actually now I am an Independent.
