Are all the racists happy that now they can openly attack Muslims?

Question

You don't have to hide anything anymore. You can just go on yahoo and spout bull all day long. The racist media have suceeded in brainwashing all the stupid folk.Yes many Muslims do many bad things, they have given themselves a bad name, yet people who don't know anything about Islam the religion, think they can go on Yahoo Answers and talk about mosques and the Quran, you know about individual Muslims but what do you know about the everyday Muslims who get on with their lives who are just trying to live their life according to the Quran (which has nothing to do with burning cars and blowing up trains).

Its alright to talk about your opinions and obviously you can say negative things about lets say the people who do bad things (such as those ugly men who will rot in hell for burning that 15 yeard old boy na people who blow up trains for no reason).They are bitter people who are looking for excuses to do bad things. You must not believe them when they try to use Islam as an excuse.

Brad Schuman- Your answer makes no sense. Obviously some Muslims are racist to white people I am not. Just like many people are racist to Muslims, blacks, hispanics etc. You said why are Muslims racist to westerners? I am a Muslim and I am not racist to westerners so bang goes your theory.

Black Atheist- Yours is worse. I didn't say Muslims are a race. Does 'racist' mean only that people can be racist if they discrimnate againdt someone of a different race? Racist incorporates many things including religion.

I am not defending all Muslims, how come people are asking stupid questions such are aren't all Muslims are racist to westerners- the ones who are racist receive all the media attention to influence people willing to be ignorant like you.

I DO NOT AGREE WITH TERRORISM JUST BECAUSE I AM A MUSLIM WHY DO SOME PEOPLE ASSUME I AGREE WITH IT?

ALSO I WAS ONLY REFERRING TO PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY (NOT THE ODD QUESTION) ASK NEGATIVE QUESTIONS ABOUT ISLAM AND SILLY JOKES ABOUT THE VEIL AS RACIST NOT ALL NON MUSLIM PEOPLE IN GENERAL. I AM NOT ATTACKING ANYBODY BUT THE AFOREMENTIONED PEOPLE.

Answer 1

Why do you generalise - this isn't going to solve anything. You have to realise that human nature plays a big part in the way humans react to their 'territory' or 'nests' being invaded by something different with different ways of behaving.

We are all animals - nothing more, nothing less, you and me as well!

I have employed Muslims, done business with Muslims and made friends with Muslims and until now I felt perfectly comfortable in their company. I have to confess that in the days when Muslim women were able to integrate into British society with ease it wasn't difficult. Up to 1991 I never saw a woman dressed from head to toe in black with a slit for her eyes so she could see where she was going. I did business with Muslim men and I knew what time they prayed and stayed away out of respect.

So why in a country which has offered a home to displaced persons from Muslim countries - not all invaded by foreign forces, are we faced with a situation where a section of the Muslim population have decided to piggy back on our freedom laws to intimidate us by making a statement with their form of dress?

I don't understand this, it seems that this section of the Muslim community are more intent on disintegration rather than integration.

It wasn't the media that told me lies about people being killed in the London bombings - that was a fact - 'home grown Muslim terrorists' were the perpitrators. It wasn't the media that told me lies about women deciding to dress to the ancient standards for women in their former homelands - but here in the UK - I have seen it for myself.

How can I feel 'comfortable' about this section of the Muslim community who have made their homes here? It would be great to integrate as we did before 1991 - but this section of the Muslim community is wrecking any change of that for the rest.

It saddens me and I am sorry that your question and details are so full of anger. You only fuel the fire for those who say - you chose to come here, if you don't like the way we live go back to where you came from - surely you must see that?

NewmansOwn: Never assume anything - it makes an *** of U and ME! [*** - being the donkey kind of ***, not a human posterior]

I was interested to learn more about you, so I read your avatar and all your questions and answers. Your mind seems pretty much made up before you ask or answer questions about Muslims and Islam and that's a shame. Bit like the wording of your question here which you direct at me [you].

Answer 2

Why are a lot of Muslims speaking out trying to defend their religion?

Could it be that there is something wrong with it?

Just because a truth or a revelation that exposes something that is not right with your religion does not mean that it is an attack!

I have been reading a quran that a Muslim friend gave me and I have been finding out for myself instead of relying on what someone else says!

This is the truth and not an attack!

The quran isn't holy because Muhammed was a false prophet!

The Real God would not tell His Prophet to have sexual intercourse at 54 years of age with a nine year old Child!

This is called "Child Molesting"!

Just that act alone invalidates "Anything" that comes ot of Muhammed's mouth!

The teachings of Muhammed cannot stand up against God's Word!

Proverbs 21:30
There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD!

Answer 3

In a sense, yes they will. The ignorance of that voting group further alienates them from the rest of mainstream America. This country is trying to get past racism for the most part, and slowly but surely, we will. However it is in my opinion that we may have to wait for the racist old codgers to die off before we can finally work for the betterment of this country. Personally, think that Obama is a pretty good politician. However, with this election, I believe that he should wait. Seriously though, I like the sound of the Clinton-Obama ticket. He won't get my vote because he lacks the experience. Sure, he's energizing and he brings fresh new ideas, but he does not yet have the political clout needed to take back this country once and for all.

Answer 4

I'm saddened to read this.

I'd like to share with you another saddening experience from my life.

Shortly after my hubby and I bought the house we now live in, I began to be curious about another house on the block (diagonally acros the street) which didn't seem to have anyone living in it, but had no "For Rent" or "For Sale" sign up either.

On day while I was walking my dog I saw a car parked in the driveway and went over to find out more about the house; a friend of mine was looking for an affordable place to buy, so I thought I'd ask questions.

As I walked up two people got out of the car, a man and woman, and the woman was wearing a scarf over her hair. when I got closer, I sped a copy of the Quran in the back window fo the car. I smiled at the couple and greeted them with "Asalaam Aleikum! Are you the owners of this house?"

The woman of the couple gave me a surprised smile and replied "Alaikum Salaam", are you Muslim?"

I said that I was not, and she remarked that it was VERY nice to be greeted politely (and correctly) by a non-Muslim, and we had a nice chat - it turned out that she and her husband were renting the house and would be moving in the next week. (During this the man of the couple pretty much ignored us, but I expected that and didn't take offense - I was walking my dog in shorts and a tank top!).

To make a long story short, about a year after we had become friends, this woman told me that around two weeks after my meeting her, her landlord had called to see how they were doing in getting settling in and so on (the landlord is also Muslilm). My friend said to him that they liked the house very much, and thought they would be happy in the neighborhodd, and that she had met "a very nice friendly lady who lives just across the street"...and the *first thing* her landlord asked her was "Does she know you're Muslim?"

Think of it - what kind of society are we creating if his expectation was that no one would be neighborly or friendly or even just decently HUMAN to these folks unless they hid their religion? It made me cry when my friend told me about that conversation.


On behalf of all the bigoted people who perpetrate ignorance and ill-will, I am profoundly sorry.

Please know that we are not all like that.

Answer 5

I am not a religious person but i agree that things said about many religions are getting out of had in the media. people are often described by their belief's if it will make a good headline. I wish people/media didn't need to pigeon hole us so it shows our ignorance, and gives stupid people the belief they can be vile to others and it is justified. It is cringe worthy and embarassing and down right dangerious.

Answer 6

Well thank you for that, some of it struck a chord with me. I am the most non-religious person you will ever meet. You did really well there but firstly, you're attacking non-muslims and catergorising everybody when I'm equally negative about every religion. This is down to my own personal choice and beliefs. I don't believe in any god or spirit and I also don't wish to follow any more rules and regulations, life has enough expectances of me already. Doesn't this mean you are stooping to some sort of level by also attacking people when I have never inflicted my opinions, on anyone nor have I shown any prejudoces or racism towards anyone. Also, sounds like you're justifying yourself and your religion - please don't feel that you have to because you don't. Please don't feel I am attacking you either as I agree with what you have said nut please don't pigeon hole me I'm on your side.

Answer 7

You are right to call it racism because the majority of Muslims are of an Arab or Asian race, and I believe racism had manifesting itself in the form of Islamophobia. Comments such as Camel f***er and towel head are completely racist and dont refer to the religion of Islam, however they are being used within debates about Islam on yahoo answers.

Answer 8

Wel I am not racist or prejudiced and I condemn all terrorists out of hand, their religion, their race, their belief, their childhood abuse, none of these are an excuse or mitigating circumstances for terrorism.
I believe the only way to deal with the guilty on conviction is execution, though in general I am against capital punishment.

Answer 9

I agree whole hearted with what you say Newmansown, I could not have put it better myself. Its peoples own ignorance of the Quran and the principles of Islam, that installs fear and hatred in their hearts towards Muslims. We just have to forgive them for their ignorance. Assalaamu -Alaikum.

Answer 10

People find any excuse to attack muslims. They don't seem to understand how peaceful the religion really is. What certain people do gives us a bad name, and the media brainwash people into thinking that only muslims are terrorists and blah blah, and all muslims are bad blah blah blah, but they don't mention for example stuff about George Bush and Stuff in general. I just try to ignore these racist, ignorant people. Allah will deal with them.
