Well all I know is what I see, Muslims attacking us on 9/11 and thanks to the news for only showing the bad side of life as a Muslim. We try to do our own thinking but much of American society is breast feed by the media unless we have the money individually to visit every country with a bad rep and draw our own conclusions. Anybody remember the reporter Ron Pearlman? He went over there and never came back. Alive that is. Sorry Muslims but over here in America.....you are guilty until proven innocent. Now that is the truth.

The media shapes the attitudes and opinions of the masses. People have been conditioned this way throughout their entire lives . Yes , Islam is misconstrued . It really is a peaceful religion . Unfortunately it is being made a scapegoat in the modern era , so that evil and power hungry politicians and such can expand their influence of ll of mankind.

Except for just cause. Who decides what cause is just? Not the killer, he just follows the orders of a mullah or some such. I've heard these kind of justifications even from peaceful muslims. Print a cartoon of muhammad and the killing is justified. No misconceptions, nothing out of context, just what I believe is an evil religion.

Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ....that is hypocrisy.
They reject Christ's diety;
they deny his claim to be the Son of God;
they deny his death on the cross...
they deny His resurrection..
They deny Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
In fact, the Quran says : "Allah has no son".
Need I say more...?
Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ.
The Bible calls Muhammed and those like him false prophets:
"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

That's a biased site, it isn't from OBJECTIVE USC research, it's from ISLAMICS.
We learn about Islam every day just by turning on TV or visiting the Arab news sites, which provide CNN with their material.
Are YOU going on RECORD officially as saying Al Jazzera lies!

Yes, because it is a minority religion here and people learn largely what the media feeds them. Thank you for the link.
