Is there any political, civil or religious rivalary among them. I have seen lots of non-muslims converting to Islam but non muslim deviating from islam to other religions. Western media is always against muslims......why it is so? This doesn't sounds that Islam is right.

As a muslim i am not really concerned what so ever if i am liked by Christians or Jews or anyother faith for that matter. I dont live my life to please others just as others dont live there lives to please me. I have many friends of various faiths, i have relatives and loved ones of different faiths and i dont feel hated by any of them, not by a long shot.
I was not raised muslim but reverted to Islam over 2 years ago. The media want to vilify muslims as it gives credence to Bush's invasion and his war against "terror" but when did Iraq act in terror toward the US? when did they threaten the US? Never so why is it a war against terror?
There is nothing in my faith that teachs me to be a terrorist, that encourages me to be a terrorist, or to support terror in any way shape or form.
There are 1.6 billion muslims and less than 0.5% are extremists and less than that again have commited acts of terror, way less!
I am born and raised a british citizen as a child the IRA bombed and had my country in a state of terror for years. Did anyone hold all Catholics responsible for these acts? No of course not. So why are all muslims held responsible for the acts of "a few".
The media is serving Bush and his war of "propeganda" well. But him being a christian and having murdered over 60,000 Iraqi men, women and CHILDREN is not a terrorist?I am to hold all christians responsible for this christians acts? Of course i dont. Is he not having Iraqi citizens living in a state of fear? Oh i think he is.
Yes American troops are being killed in Iraq and that is all at Bush's door too, why does he still have them there? There are no "weapons of mass destruction" "sadam is dead" maybe to protect the oil, money and power he is harvesting in Iraq. There have been 4,000 american troops killed a tragic toll for any parent, wife or child. But the 60,000 Iraqi citizens are someones parent, wife, father and child too. Why do these Iraqi lives that are snuffed out daily never make the media? Is one life more precious than another? Is a 3 year old baby girl a terrorist? Colateral damage? Some mother and father are still grieving no matter what spin Bush puts on it.

This question is not an easy one to answer because the explanation would turn into a book. Basically, Christians since Islam came into the world as Islam, have rejected and feared it because it is different from what they were taught. In the early 600's when Muhammed first began bringing Islam to his own people they rejected it en masse because it was different, it negated their own belief system quite thoroughly. But because it was a message that made sense, it came directly from God, they began to listen to hear it for what it was. Unfortunately, Christians of that time could neither understand it or read it because it was directed to the Arab people from God, and so they rejected it as being something blasphemous. Times haven't changed really, other than there being 1.5 billion people in the world now that are Muslims, the Christians and Jews still reject Islam because they don't understand it, aren't willing to read it eventhough now it is accessable to them. Surah's that are of most interest to Christians are the ones that speak of violence, and that is all that they take the time to read, they don't consider the era in which it was written. They believe the Qu'ran is all about violence because they don't read further to gain more knowledge, to truly see what Islam is about, just like their ancestors.

changing is a widely used determination to a pair human beings so I advise you first think of roughly WHY you want to transform. If the justifications are solid sufficient then make certain on in case you want to alter right into a *Christian or a Jew. study the two religions to make certain which one is sensible to you. when you establish which one you want to alter into, circulate to a community church in case you want to be a Christian. in case you have a community synagouge then I advise you circulate there for some suggestion. the folk at those places will take over from there. solid luck! Luv ya! <3

Well I USED to have a problem with Jews only because I am Lebanese and they occupied our land for almost 30 years and we had to fight to get it back and in the process I lost a lot of family members. But I dont hate anyone now. I know its not right to just generalize EVERY Jewish person as the ones who hurt my family.

It's not so much that Christians and Jews hate Muslims as it is the other way around. The Koran specifically states that Muslims are not to make friends with Christians and Jews. Also, Christians and Jews living in Islamic countries are known as "dhimmis," meaning they are required to pay taxes to the government for the right to practice their religion. If they don't, they are beheaded.
Ask yourself--if Christians and Jews don't like Muslims, then why are there so many Muslims in America and Israel, but there are no Christians or Jews in Saudi Arabia? It's because Christians and Jews in Islamic theocracies are taxed, persecuted, jailed, or beheaded. I think it's very easy to see which group is more intolerant.

Only the stupid avoid Muslims... they think one of us are going to pull out a sword and behead them.
Trust me, if 1.3 billion Muslims were all terrorists then there would be a lot, a lot more chaos.

There are Muslims sects that hate each other. If there is violent disagreement within Islam, why is it surprising that there is violent disagreement outside of Islam.
Especially when Islam is the one declaring Jihad on non-Islamic faiths.
Western media is not intentionally anti-Muslim, but they tend to develop a bit of a bias when Muslim leaders chop off their reporters' heads. They're funny that way.

The reason you dont hear of Muslims converting out is because other Muslims will kill them. It is punishable by death according to Islamic law.
