I have probably met people in my life that I didn't know were Muslim, or Arabic, or any other ethnic or religious group. I may notice the accent or the clothing, but my mind will register it & go on to another subject. It just is not a big deal to me. Meeting someone for the first time, I would probably introduce myself without a second thought about our differences.
If I find myself in any group of people I am not similar to, I feel uncomfortable. I realize what it feels to be a minority surrounded by possibly hostile people. And I get over it w/o creating a disturbance or blaming them for my feeling different.. If you & I started talking in such a group, I would be grateful you took the time ease my mind. Meeting later in the street, I would greet you as a friend.
Muslims are no different than any other people. You as a group are not the enemy; individuals from all different groups are only by their actions. I sincerely hope more people begin to feel that way. If we act with prejudice, we are our own worst enemy..

Honestly, that is like asking "what do you think of Christian people?"
The muslim religion is as vast and varied as christianity.
On a more personal level, there are good muslims and bad muslims, just like all the christians out there. There are corrupt leaders, there are devout figures, and lots of them who don't practice their religion as much as they "should".
There are some who won't even look at a woman. There are some who drink and smoke. The muslims I have known closely, I must admit, I really love, but there are some radical muslims I have met that scare the bejeezus out of me.

I cannot say that I personally know many Muslim people, but I think that they are like most people in the world. I'm sure they, like me, want to be happy, to love and be loved by their families and to enjoy life the best way they can.
Our religious beliefs may be different (I am a Christian) but I'm sure that we have similar struggles in life also. Most people are searching for the same things.

They are the same as everyone else. Too many people give in to the hype of "Muslims are evil" which is completely false. Every Muslim I've met is just like any other person I've met, there's no set characteristic for a people.

I honestly have nothing against any religion. Muslims are just regular people with there own religion and belief just like catholics and christians and mormans and even athiest.
I choose not to judge somebody over there religion cause i wouldnt want somebody to judge me cause i am a christian. And not only that but i know a bunch of muslim people that are very kind and very considerate towards me. Thats my honest opinion.

I used to live in an apartment building with alot of Muslims in it. They were all really nice. The family that lived right down stairs even went out of their way to be pleasant and friendly. I think of them as I think of all people. They're just people. As with every group, some are horrid and some are fantastic.

just like any other large group of people some are good some are evil. Some are religious some are secular. Some are lazy some are hardworking.
I think its silly to generalize about 1.2 Billion people.

I think they are people like the rest of us, some are good some are bad.
I think the radical militant fundamentalist among them have given them all a bad name.
I think it is partially their fault for not speaking out against the radical militants
I think they need to come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior just as all lost people do.
I think they need to step up and take control of their lands, governments, and security.

I don't like to generalize large groups of people.
