Why are americans so racist against Muslims? Usama Bin Ladan is hated by Muslims. You must realize this: The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Why does anyone hate anyone?Some people say that it is fear of the unknown.others say its the media.i think that it has allot to do with how your family life is and where you live.I have lived all over this country and each place has selective hatred against one race or another some people are just bigots.

You forgot one group they champion; al queda.  Sadly they are finding themselves politically alligned with the most radical group in Islam.  Afterall both the liberals in America (and abroad) want the same thing as al queda - for the US to lose.

Stop twisting words and slandering ISlam.\n\nStop spreading hatred.\n\nWar is only allowed to defend, not attack.\nJust like I am defending and you are attacking.

Awesome! I read the whole thing, and I can't believe an American feels this way. I am a Muslim, and I have to say you hit the nail on the head! Too right. I didn't always believe what you said. I am also American, and noone wants to feel negative feelings about their country. We all want to love where we come from. Still, lately evidence of so much wrong-doing has surfaced on the part of our government, that I am forced to re-evaluate things. I have studied Islam extensively for thirteen years, and it is a beautiful religion. There's no such thing as racism in Islam. We believe all races are equal. The only religion I've seen so much racism in is Christianity. And I used to be a Christian, so I hope nobody here thinks I am against Christianity. I'm not. True Christianity is beautiful, however, hardly anyone practices it in its pure form any more. And racism? Oh, yeah. Talk about racism. It's so engrained in their heads through their own bible, the book they study and memorize so much that it becomes a part of them, like another leg or body part. It is a racist book. There are no Arab prophets in the bible. Does that make sense? No. There were Arab prophets, black prophets, any number of different nationalities of prophets in history. The people who re-wrote and re-translated the bible took them out upon translating and interpreting them! Yes, that's right. They took them out because they were racists. They wanted the bible to be a white bred book only, and they wanted America to never have any citizens become presidents or have positions of power who were not white. That is why we see there are 350,000 members of this ONE organization. Just one. And how many others are there? Don't think the government is not backing this up. They love it. Christianity is not Christianity any more. Even the Christians who are practicing Christianity are usually pretty racist without even knowing. They don't even know the bible is subliminal. The racism in it enters their sub-conscious so much, that they don't even realize. So what is the biggest threat to this racist idea? Islam. It stands for everything they are against. Unity of all races and nationalities. It stands for peace. That's why they lie about Muslims being terrorists. We are not terrorists. They are the real terrorists, and I'm not referring to Christians, here. I'm referring to our government, which has infiltrated Christianity with so much hatred of races other than lily white. I know a lot of people are going to be pissed at me for saying all this, but it is true. You've been lied to, people.

Nagla- \nWow- This is a powerful question, and one to be asked.  I personally had to answer this for myself, but first let me say "Salam Malakum" (sp?) \nI am devoted Christian American Military Spouse currently living in an African Muslim country, and I don't think you can't get more diverse then that.  \nI agree with you that Americans look bad, because most do not know what a true Muslim is and only know what is report on the news.  (I could have been one of these Americans a year or so ago, and two tours in Iraq could do that to a person.) \nNeedless to say, I would like to end this on a positive note.  All the Muslims I have gotten to know what to live in PEACE.  There are extremes on both ends.  Just as the majority of Americans would disassociate themselves from the ones that are protesting grave sites because the US has gays live there.  \nI would like to encourage you to show these people what your all about.  Not is a IN YOUR FACE way, but a here it is thing.  The pilars of Islam prove that Muslims want Peace for all, that they do not look down on who is that persons personal Savior.  For me that happens to be Jesus Christ.  Yet I feel we can still love one another, and see where each other is coming from with resepect, and honor, in a way that would be glory to both religions.  \nGod Bless You-

I agree!! We give them everything and then they criticize us for everything they can think of!\nIf they hate America and Americans so much, what the h*** are they here for?  Oh! They don't like US, but they like our food stamps, medical care, housing subsidies, educational opportunities, etc. But, they HATE Americans.\n\nThat is not 'racist', what is 'racism? Go here, we are not racists:\nhttp://www.stormfront.org/whitenat/racism.htm

We've poured tremendous amounts of money into Pakistan in an attempt to "buy" their good will. They give us just enough results to keep the money coming in. Muslims do hate the U.S. Some can say it's only the radical muslims that hate the US, but if that were true, those "radicals" would have no following. The more times they call us the Great Satan, the higher their standing among the rank and file muslim world.

oianz saying "i  have yet to meet a militant Muslim".   keeping your head in the sand (no pun intended) doesnt make it go away.  there are groups of muslims who want every non muslim dead.  they ingrain it in their heads from day one.  the evidence is there I just dont understand why you refuse to believe it.  Do any research of the history of the middle east.  Call me racist do whatever but when somebody says they are going to kill you you should take it seriously and take care of the problem before they get their wish.

It just shows how Muslims are.  They are violent and hateful.  If this had been done to a Christian they would merely write some scathing articles about how rude it is to attack their religion.  But how do Muslims handle it?  They want to attack a group of people who had nothing to with the cartoons.  This would be like Russia bombing us and we respond by saying "We wont allow Russia to succed.  That is why we are now bombing the Czech Republic"

You have to understand, friend, that people are ignorant. An no, not just Americans either. We as humans just have simple and one-tracked minds. Some more seriously than others.\nWhen it comes to the Israel thing, I have a good friend from Egypt, but she looks African America (Black). Mind you, she's beautiful. When people see her, they smile, guys buy her drinks, really hang on her tit like she's so fine. Then when she says that she's Muslim, cats get nervous. I understand it, because I'm Christian. And listening to most American Christians, post-911 mind you, they are really delicate when it comes to Middle Easterners, believing they had hands in US terrorist attacks. But remember, turning the other cheek and ignoring stupid people is a much more powerful jester than to reply with anything else.

Hey good for you. I got nothing against Islam at all, and I'm sorry as an American for any prejudice that has occured against Muslims. I know that it is radicals that attack our country and the way we live. Just as there are radicals in all aspects of life and other religions.\n\nI for one do not condone or practice any kind of mistreatment or mockery of people of Islamic faith. But I also stongly detest any attack on America and our way of life. If they do not agree with it, find. They do not have to live that way. I will defend my country though, as I have taken an oath to defend against all enemies both foregin and domestic.

No I did not see Americans hate some kind of people specifically.\nsome Americans would hate blacks some would hate Arabs some would hate the Natives...etc.. so they are  just like any other normal people or nation.\n\nI am sorry for what happened to your friend, but that  dose not give us the right to generalize one case on ALL the Americans, they 350 million people...take easy man

For me, living in the US as a muslim, I think it's pretty easy. In all my 15 years of living here, I honestly haven't met one person who discriminates, hates, or just doesn't like me because I am muslim. It's just the media and a couple of uninformed people that try to scare you about us muslims. Yes, there are some bad people out there that do bad things and call themselves muslims, but every religion has it's goods and bads. Take christianity for example, priests molesting children, Jews bombing Palestinians, Muslims flying planes into buildings, theres just good and bad in EVERY religion. Oh boy, I've gone off topic again, haven't I?

It is a good question, and something that I as a muslim, get very upset about.\n\nFirstly as I am sure you know Islam Completely against Violence.\n\nI think we as muslims do not do enough to make this clear to non- muslims. And we let the fanatics takes over Islam.\n\nThere is a victim mentality, that is always blaming somebody else for what is going wrong. Also there is a problem that muslims to not like to criticise other muslims, even if there are doing something totally wrong.\n\nI live in England, and I have muslim friends who will not condemn the suicide bombers in London because they are muslim, and they say they must have right reasons in their mind for that act. \n\nMany people protest about the Americans in Iraq, quite rightly, but more muslims are killed by other muslims like Zarqawi. I don't see too many people outside Iraq rushing to protest against his actions. Most people are against is actions but why are they quiet. He is as big a evil as Bush.\n\nFor the cartoons I was against them, and I am lucky to live in a country where they are not published, but by protesting against in the way they proved the cartooners right. (it was unaccept for some muslims to say kill all danish) And why do people not get as upset bu terrorist attacts in the name of Islam?? These are REALLY a blaspheme against god.\nAlso it is very unfortunate that some muslims make simular cartoons against jews. The Iranian newspapers response to run a cartoon about the horoculst was appalling and un Islamic. I sometimes think Muslims have double stands like the their criticise the west as having.\n\n\nThe media DO high light bad behaviour by muslims over good, \nBut we are often to blame because WE donot make our voice strong enough when other muslim do bad things in the name of Islam.\n\nIt is easy to fall in a victim mentality, when people attack us and become defensive. \nBUT it is better for us to PROVE the attackers wrong by confronting people who misuse islam..

I personally think that the 'war' should have ended long ago. Bush is being a bully and is really just finishing what his father couldn't. Yes, its the greed of the oil. Money is the root of all evil. Just because some terrorists were muslim doesn't mean that all muslims are bad. We do have american terrorists, the unibomber,  the Oklahoma dude so does that mean we are going to hate americans too? Its all about racism. Period. What about those Virginia snipers? I would have never, ever thought they were african americans.  There are bad people in all races.

I didn't realize everyone has been talking a bout Muslim here. Can you tell me more a bout what they  are saying? I'm not Muslim, but I have some Muslim relatives, they are perfectly nice, normal people. Some are embarrassed that their religion has been so negatively in the news lately. What do you think?

Muslims do not support killing of innocent people. Period. Its against the very tenets of Islam. So, it would be wrong to say all Muslims like Bin Laden. There are good peple and bad peple in every religion and unfortunately some of these lend a bad name to the entire group. There are a lot of political and economic agendas behind what is happenning in the world today. Everything is not so plain as it appears. I'd say Bin Laden is an enemy of Muslims becoz he has done more harm than good to their coz. Muslims, in general, do not hate Americans or America, its the policy makers and politicians they dont agree with. Its becomes difficult to make out the difference, though,  what with the media turning completely against muslims.
