With Islam is the news all day everyday, what have you learned about the religion that you didnt know before?

Question

Islam is on Tv 24/7. What have you learned about the great religion you didn't know prior to all this media time.

Answer 1

Islam is not on TV everyday.....Only the peverters of the Religion seem to make the news. Islam in its teachings is peaceful. Until the true Muslims can control their radical sub-cultures there will be destruction and death in the regions. There is nothing that the West can do to alter this situation......they have been killing and maiming themselves for centuries. All the west does ,with their interventions, is give the radicals another target to hate.

Answer 2

You can't learn anything about a religion on television. Right now, while the US is still occupying Iraq, Islam will be demonized to maintain public support to keep troops there. If you want to know about Islam, read a book or speak with a Muslim.

Answer 3

I really haven't learned much about Islam in the media.
