Why do people think of muslims being bad? When more than half of them are good.?

Answer 1

Its all jeleousy, they cant accept Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world, so therefore dont know about Islam and start to make judgment, Koran has never been changed, Islam gives rights to women more then anything, Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) liberated Women, its all this biased media, propanga, ignorance thats all, Medicine was inveted by the Muslims, 3 meals a day was invented by the Muslims, Mathematics, education as a whole was improved by the Muslims, i can go and on but you have to understand by reseraching Islam, read the Koran to get more knowldge. im a covert to Islam and i love it, never been happier and at peace in my life, not that i was not happy before, but Islam has such wisdome, such beaitful sayings, messages, it makes sense, now i know why so many people, including pretty girls convert everyday to Islam, its only the weak mined insecure, easily lead people who say Islam and Muslims are this and that, they will be judged and they will realise, in this and in after life.

Answer 2

I don't think Muslims are bad. Some are, just like any other group of people, but I don't see it as any worse. Right now, there is a lot of attention paid to the "bad ones" because of the war, the British hostages, etc. If the KKK was hanging people or Buddhists were attacking Hindus, we'd be hearing about those bad people. I'm American, I served in the military, and I don't think all Muslims are bad. Nowhere near all of them. It's just that the bad ones are very dangerous, and acting out over the past several years. So take heart in this, there are people who know there are many good Muslims.

Answer 3

I don't want to make any judgement about muslim people because I don't want to paint every muslim with the same brush. But I do believe the Islamic religion is a violent religion and not a religion of peace as Mr. Bush has called it. Islam has killed millions around the world, just in recent times. What bothers me about the so-called peace loving moderate muslims(and I'm sure there are millions of them) is that they say or do nothing when their violent fundementalist brothers murder innocents. When that magazine in Denmark published those Muhammad cartoons, they were in the streets rioting all over the world. There were 130 christians in Nigeria who were murdered by rioting muslim mobs who went into the streets about those cartoons. What did the nigerian christians have to do with Muhammad cartoons in Denmark(if, in fact, they even knew anything about them). Yet, just recently, a car in Iraq was let through a checkpoint because the american soldiers saw 2 little kids in the back seat of the car so they didn't suspect that car. After the car got through the checkpoint it parked near a lot of people and the driver jumped out of the car and ran away and then exploded the car from far off killing a lot of people including those 2 little kids inside the car. I didn't see any islamics anywhere protesting that car bombing. If you want the rest of the world to think you're really peace loving, you need to speak up.

Answer 4

Well, I think that there are many reasons why people are prejudiced towards Muslims. A couple of those could be a deep fear instilled of "differentness", a post 9/11 fear they any Muslim might blow them up, or possibly plain old ignorance. I personally don't have any problems with Muslims, sure I disagree with them on some points, but I still give them the respect that they, as felllw human beings deserve. Plus, the root of the word "Islam" comes from salaam, meaning peace.

Peace,
Amina

Answer 5

Just watch the news every day. They are not making this stuff up!!!
All religion is dangerous or potentially dagerous, based as they are on false promises of an after-life. Islam is the most dangerous of all and this is clearly demonstrated. I don't have to remind the Australians about Bali, the Americans about the WTC/9-11 and the British about the subway.bus bombings, etc, etc,.
The 'good' muslims MUST stand up and do something about all this destruction and murder in the name of islam or, at the very least, speak up!!!

Then to further increase your awareness, try www.prophetmohammed.com.uk. See the videos of the imams in their mosques ... need any more proof?

Answer 6

Why do people believe all Jews killed Christ? There were only a few people on the council that tried Jesus, yet some blame people who are alive today for the killing of someone they believe is alive?

As I see it, most people speak in generalities either because they do not see the harm they are creating, they do not care, or they see the harm and want it done for personal gain.

I see some of the governments in the Middle East are comprised of Fanatical Muslims, who want to convert the entire earth. There are other Muslims who are afraid to speak out against them because of what can be done to them and their families.

Because they do not speak out, some believe they are all in this together. Until the non fanatics speak up, they will be lumped into one group and hated together, Guilt by association. Hopefully, before the entire world is in flames, they will speak up and more lives will be saved than lost in the next World War.

Answer 7

Because of their beliefs.

"Even apparently innocuous beliefs, when unjustified, can lead to intolerable consequences. Many Muslims, for instance, are convinced that God takes an active interest in women's clothing. While it may seem harmless enough, the amount of suffering that this incredible idea has caused is astonishing. The rioting in Nigeria over the 2002 Miss World Pageant claimed over two hundred lives; innocent men and women were butchered to keep that troubled place free of women in bikinis. Earlier in the year, the religious police in Mecca prevented paramedics and firefighters from rescuing scores of teenage girls trapped in a burning building. Why? Because the girls were not wearing the traditional head covering that Koranic law requires. Fourteen girls died in the fire; fifty were injured. Should Muslims really be free to believe that the Creator of the universe is concerned about hemlines?"

Answer 8

Why do you think, people think of Muslims being bad ? Most of the people don't give it a thought anyway...Muslims became known as terrorists after 9/11 attacks in New york...People are not interested in their religion and (or) their goodness or badness, they just want to feel safe from terrorist attacks !

Answer 9

only a few give a bad name for the rest.. example: blacks, have a rep for being a thug. whites, lazy trailer trash. Preists, child molesters. Mexicans, free loaders that dont care about America or Americans.. Only a few give those names to the rest of us. Alot of black people are good, take for example Rosa Parks and Martin luther king. its the way people percieve a certian race.

Answer 10

Who cares about the "good" ones? The bad ones are a threat to the continued existence of civilization.
