I mean have you read anything about it from the books? Or do you believe everything you hear on tv or from racist and stereotyped people around you?
I'm an Australian Muslim. I'm not covered and i dont pray 5 times a day - but i believe in Allah. I respect all religions in this world, but i cant understand why no one respects Islam.

For one thing I don't own a Propaganda box. Anyone who does is still hooked up to the matrix and should be considered dangerous. lol...nerd humor....anyways
I personally don't hate Islam but I know many people are persuaded by what is reported to them via media "CNN, FOX," all those vile entities which cause a sense of separation.
People need to realize that most of the so called "terrorist acts" are sponsored by wealthy governments and not rouge extremists.
Right now the people of Islam are being vilified by the media as terrorist. They want people to have the mentality of "black and white, good guys and bad guys, us and them". Once people realize that there is no "them" there is only "us" maybe then we can put an end to all of this nonsense.
A minority of people are working hard to get us all to want to fight each other for some reason. I know 90% of what is fed to people through mass media is nothing but lies.

Perhaps because it is regressive, agressive and repressive and doesn't stand up for civilization and common decency in the world. Islam is a self-centered religion that has nothing to say and nothing to teach to a modern society.
The sects of Islam have been at eachother throats for 1300 years, and if they having busy fighting each other then they are busy condemning and generally being intolerant towards everyone else who is not a Muslim.
Even within a sect of the religion, woman are made subservient and denied basic rights. What does this religion have to offer the world beside hatred and intolerance? Where are the positive aspects of this religion that can contribute to, not only its adherents, but to welfare of every person on this planet?
Having said all that, I have no ill will towards Muslims who are carrying with their lives and fitting in to modern society as best they can. But, in spite of some of the truly great advances that Islam contributed to society in the past millenium, today the religion itself is archaic out of touch with social realities, and really has nothing to recommend it as a contributer to modern society.
This planet of the 21st century would be a lot better off without this religion, in my opinion.

I guess people hate Islam because of Terrorism. Bin Laden is a muslim. I know that the real Islam is not like that. I respect every religion. But people always bring those things together. they think every Muslim is a terrorist.

i dont hate Islam..and the only reason why people do is because of what some Islamist extremists did..there are extremists in all religions..and a lot of people dont realize that there are white people and people of all races that are Muslim and could be extremists..but they dont seem to be ridiculed if they're not Arab from what i've seen..but discrimination is just something you're going to have to live with..trust me..i know..

I have read the Koran (German way of spelling), and I do not believe everything that the Media tells us. Despite the fact of knowing some true Muslim faithfull, I have learned the opposite. They are quite loving. religious and peaceful people. They want to work, support their families and live the American dream. it's just a few that taken it the wrong way for the wrong reasons. I feel for you . It must not be easy now a days to be a Muslim, when every one looks at you and sees the enemy in you. Be strong brother, eventually the Terroists will prevail!

You're not muslim according to the extremist muslim groups if you don't do as they do. Those are the ones I dislike from personal experience. They look down on us normal people and say we are embicils.

Thats a broad statement. There are people who respect Islam that are not of the Islamic faith. Personally, I dont dislike it or like it. I dont really care about it at all.

I dont hate Islam but my parents do. They're Nigerian. The Muslim Hausas slaughtered their families during the 60's. They chopped them with machetes, burned them alive, hung them, quatered them, cut open pregnant woman, beheaded people etc.
So my parents do. I'm surprised I dont. After all I've lost alot of people
