what do americans really think a bout muslims(arabs) and why?

Question

america has caused so much conflict in a continent so far away, specifically middle east asia.
what do they really think of arabs?
are they barbarians who go against freedom,or because they are muslims they go against what america is all about?
to the contrary to what bush said
"they hate our freedom,freedom of speech,religion....etc."
is islam the belief is
"a man's freedom ends when another man's starts"
it means you could be free all you want,but once you hurt your fellow man...then limitations are set,so that everything could be balanced.
....pls. answer honestly.
thank you.

i had a an error typing...
in the part
to the contrary to what bush said.....
IN islam belief...not Is.

when i meant conflict, is that they had just got to stick their nose into everything that has got to do with arab countries and oil...and they support israel.. that once was not a country,and now are parasites in a land formerly known as PALESTINE...israel got over $90 million frm. the USA since 1974
imagine paying taxes and a bit part of that goes to supporting a war?
....and that isn't a conflict!
Bush,does not know enough about Middle east...and so do the Middle east,but America have shown their intent and purpose and their support against the arab nation...and to the middle east..that all they've known and that's enough.

Answer 2

This American thinks that the Arabs are responsible for many of the perks of civilization we take for granted today. The Greeks copied many Arabic architectural elements. Our number system is derived from Arabic. And so on.

This American does not happen to believe that even a large minority of Arabs have a problem with the United States -- at least no more so than any other group outside of this country. In fact, I think you could easily find some people in almost any nation, of almost any ethnic background, who have a problem with the United States.

This American happens to believe that the vast majority of Muslims follow the teachings of their faith with much greater vigor than do the vast majority of Christians.

This American, in short, has absolutely no problem with Muslims in general. I do, however, have a problem with any individual who has little in his heart but hate, no matter what his ethnic or religious background.

Oh, and by the way, my ancestry is German and English.

Answer 3

We have ignited Arab hostility after we supported Israel, the enemy of the Arab world.

Many Arabs hate the west, including the USA for our free press, liberated women, pop culture, etc, etc. Bush used a blanket statement, but obviously we are hated.

We didn't ask for 9/11. Maybe Bush did, but I am from New York, pay my taxes, try to live a good life, and I didn't ask for 9/11.

And Bush didn't use demolition crews as one person on this answer thread suggested.

Personally I believe in profiling Arabs on airlines. It is a neccesity. You have to zero in on the most likely candidates. But as far as hating the Arab world, yes, sometimes I do.

I think of them burning our flag after 9/11. I think about honor killings of teenage girls. I think about female circumcision (removal of the clitoris) in the Sudan, violations of human rights, and the jihad. I am very angry sometimes.

The violations of human rights is exponentially greater in the Arab world than in the West. And I am angry because of the Islamic theocracies and the shahs and mullahs that rule the land, and separate tribal governments within a country that endorses those honor killings between families.

The Arab world is free to believe any philosophy or religion they choose. But when a terrorist group send two planes into the World Trade Center, (and kill thousands of innocent civilians on their way to work one morning,) then I am full of hate, because I am a New Yorker, and the they just wore out their welcome.

Answer 4

America has caused no conflict in places so far away. I do not recall America bombing any buses or pizza parlors in some crazy effort to remove a people from a land they've been on for 5000 years. Are you saying that 5 million Israelis are the cause for 500 million Arabs living in povetry and squalor? I have to question your logic...

Tell you what: The Arabs ain't doin' themselves much of a favor in the PR department by blowing up innocent people at bus stops and in pizza parlors. They need to see that THEY are their own worst enemy. The cling to a 7th-century idea that if you ain't Muslim like they are, then you must be killed. That don't fly in the 21st century, Mohammed. People the world over worship their dieties in different ways and we'll be damed if we are going to submit to theirs without a fight. And so we are...

Answer 5

Do I think they hate our freedoms? All of them? No, not even most of them. However, there is a segment of the Arab/Persian/Muslim world who believes we are all destined to be like they are, and they have no tolerance for us.

Do Muslims get arrested for possessing Koran's while in the U.S.? Well, in Saudi Arabia, you will be arrested for possessing a Bible. Is that balanced?

Answer 6

Bush needed a scapegoat. The Twin Towers were imploded by a demolition crew. Bush used this and Muslims to get Americans involved in the war with Iraq. Bush and his oil well buddies want to control the oil over there. 911 was a farse created and used by Bush.

Answer 7

Well for one not all americans are going to think the same. and for two i honestly dont know what i think about muslims. I dont know enough about them to make a judgement. Not all americans are going to be muslim bashers you know.

Answer 8

Until they prove otherwise.......they need to just be rounded up and executed.
