Why are people so quick to stand up for muslims when muslims don't care about non-muslims?

Question

Wake up and look at all of the conflicts in the world. I would venture to say that most of them are due to the fact that muslims can not get along with their neighbors (sounds like the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th ..... 20th century all over again.)

Actually I do know muslims. One of my first encounters was with the imam one of the mosques in my town. I worked with this gentlemen and he was one of the kindness people I knew, accept for when it came to women and jews. I have been around bigoted people before, but never have I been around anyone with as much hatred for another sect of people as he was towards the jews.

Could everybody please read my original question and please answer it.

Answer 1

Most are ready stand against muslims not for muslims.

Answer 2

You're absolutely right, Mrs Mighty Queen.

But real Muslims do care about everybody else and accept them as brothers and sisters, show kindness to all and humility before God.

The bad ones never study the Qur'an but do a fine line in hatred, terrorism and opium production. They shout and scream and try to force a fake corrupted version of Islam on everybody.

"The Islamic acquisition of Jerusalem at the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab [638 AD] put an end to centuries of instability"

Hmmm interesting quote: However, when something ends it's supposed to stop not take a short breather before erupting more violently.

Answer 3

I agree 100%. A a christian if someone else isn't a Christian then that is ok with me-I feel sorry that they don't know the truth and i try to let them know about Jesus but if they say no then I leave it at that. I have plenty of friends who are not Christian and get along with then just fine.
Why can't muslims be the same. Why do they have to keep blowing up inocent people jsut because they have different belief to them. EG twin towers, Bali bombing Iraq etc

Answer 4

How many people know that Jews were banned from Jerusalem until the Muslims took over ?

The Islamic acquisition of Jerusalem at the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab [638 AD] put an end to centuries of instability, religious persecution, and colonial rule. After the advent of Islam, people enjoyed security, safety, and peace- with the exception of the period of the Crusades (1099-1198). There was scholarly activity on a wide scale. It was a center of learning from which a large number of scholars graduated. It enjoyed the care of the Khalifas and the Muslim rulers.

Jews returned to the City only when the Muslims took over and opened it to all believers. In other words, Jerusalem was not an exclusive city during Muslim rule. For example, the arrival of Umar in Jerusalem marked the start of a golden age and the beginning of a new era during which the City became an open city for all the nations, a city for justice and peace.

Umar was "faithful to the Islamic inclusive vision. Unlike the Jews and Christians, Muslims did not attempt to exclude others from Jerusalem's holiness" and instead of excluding these religions in Jerusalem, "Muslims were being taught to respect them.

"From the first, Muslims showed that the respect of sacred space did not have to mean conflict, enmity, killng, and exclusion of others...From the start, the Muslims developed an inclusive vision of Jerusalem which did not deny the presence and devotion of others, but respected their rights and celebtrated plurality and co-existence. This inclusive vision of holiness is sorely needed by the people of Jerusalem today." **

** Karen Armstrong "Sacred Space: the Holiness of Jerusalem,"


Muslims Ruled Jerusalem for over 1200 years and were able to establish peaceful co-existance between all the faiths.

Salahuddins recapturing of Jerusalem is famous because of the Islamic forgiveness and amnesty he showed the Crusaders.

When Muslims stopped following Shariah law they turned away from peaceful co-existant and progress.

"In the eyes of history, religious toleration is the highest evidence of culture in a people....It was not until the Western nations broke away from their religious law that they became more tolerant, and it was only when the Muslims fell away from their religious law [Shariah] that they declined in tolerance and other evidences of the highest culture.” -- Marmaduke Pickthall

Answer 5

Wow, interesting question and observation. I tend to agree and think, as a rule, you are correct. There are always exceptions, but, by and large, you are most certainly right. I do not know where they got all this hate from and you will hear many idiots claiming they know. I think it is far to complex to say any one person has it right. Suffice to say, it does not matter. They hate us and will mount a new terror attack one day soon. We just have to make them see that we will not be a pushover. We beat the suicidal Japanese in WW2, so we can win here too.

Answer 6

I think mostly because some people just won't (or can't) accept or understand the true nature of islam. islam has repeatedly shown itself to be based on violence, hatred and intolerance.

Show mercy to muslims. Expect none in return. (read the koran) Show respect to muslims. Expect none in return (read the koran) Speak the truth to muslims. Expect none in return (read the koran)

The koran is VERY clear on what islam demands of muslims relative to Christians and Jews. DON'T be misled or fooled by the deceit and deception of those who say "well, that's not REALLY what it's saying when it says to kill them all or not be friends with them".

Just my personal opinion. If you're muslim and disagree, please feel free to send your latest hate or death-threat e-mail to my growing collection. Another sure sign of "tolerance".

Answer 7

Most Muslims are very nice people and, like us, see the humanity in others and are well-wishers of everyone. The Golden Rule is found in every religion - Judaism, Christianity, Krsna, Buddhism, Baha'i and so on.

Answer 8

says you. do you personally know any muslims?

Answer 9

They are just trying to be Christian about it.
