Okay, they they have the right to be afraid of Osama and Mullah Omar(if they really exist).The conduct of a few muslims can be taken as attribute of the religion.Some muslims can be good and some may be bad as in case of christains there is Bush and Blaire but also Mother Treassa

Nervous isn't the word I would use. The best thing we could all do is abandon all of this foolish superstition silliness Islam, Christianity, Hindu, etc. are all outdated superstitious philosophies long over due for retirement.

Because unlike other religions, Islam preaches violence against those who do not follow it.
Judge the following non-contextual q’uran for yourself.
ISLAMIC TERROR – (TRUE OR FALSE?).
Qur’an 8:60 “Infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them.”
Bukhari:V4B52N260 “The Prophet said, ‘If a Muslim discards his religion, kill him!’”
Qur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends.”
Bukhari [4:52:177]: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him!"
Now have u grasped the difference ?

Islam is a primitive religion that prefers random acts of murder and violence to thinking and individual freedoms. Everybody knows that, except for a few Muslims, apparently.

Ignorance. The West has never had to "deal" with Muslims as a recognizable, political force until the last 30+ years.

Yes, there is good and bad muslims, but I bet there are more baddies than there are goodies. Nearly half of the people in my school are Muslim, most are bad, I get teased by them (I used to). They make fun of ya.

It's because people don't truly know what Islam is all about. There are a lot of people out there who only know the fundamentalist side of Islam and the majority of people don't know that the word "jihad" means "struggle" literally and it has to do not with holy wars and what not, but it's an internal struggle to submit to Allah. The word 'Islam' itself means "submission." Islam also has this idea of the Umma or a worldwide Muslim community that transcends social and political boundaries... I have a deep respect for true Islam. I am sorta agnostic I guess but I was raised Evangelical (yikes.)

No one is afraid of muslims or only really stupid people are.People are afraid of fundamentalism and the media portrays that muslims have more fundamentalists than any other religion.That's probably not true though.

There is a fundamental differennce...islam preaches violence...violence is part of its core doctrine and thus violence can be justified through islam....christianity cannot justify violence. people aside the two belief systems are completely different.

I think you answered your own question. The Christian faith has been characterized by the horrific actions of a few individuals claiming to be Christian yet doing unChristian things.
