http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjuoVAdcXf5El.GTbPSOut3sy6IX?qid=1006040918847\n\nNow, I do not think Muslims are the fuckwits of the universe, nor do I believe Mohammed was ignorant.  I would, however, like the Yahoo! Answers community to comment on how/why the similar question pertaining to Americans has been allowed to remain on the forum for over a week, when it is equally insulting, equally incites hatred and equal in it's use of profanity.  \n\nPlease help me to understand.

I was so sorry reading your comment Figado, but it's your own point of view.. the Islam is not just a religen, it's a way of living, that's why muslims live with it in daily basis .. As you said, let's try to say the truth for a while, why is it totally wrong when Muslims in palastine try to take THEIR LAND by force which was invaded by Israel, is wrong? Why should Muslims feel happy in Iraqe that US invaded their country and if tried to free it from the invadors they are called terrorists????\nDo you honestly fall for the democracy thing ???!!!!!! Every country has it's own democracy form and if based on Islamice point of view - which is not the case in most of the Arabic nations - there will be more democracy than what the US knows and will ever know .... Read the prophet's Mohamed's ( praise be upon him) life.\n\nMuslim were not asked in qur'an to fight people unless they firght them or made it hard for muslims to perform thier religen or invaded their countries ,,. The ISlam is a peace religen ( the name itself is from Alsalam in arabic which is peace )\n\nBefore reading some one's book about Islam, Read God's Book about his Religen, he sure Knows better.

its upto u how u are taking the matter.\nislam itself is a complete relegion with no if, but,comma, dot or any argument.\nso whatever anybody is saying anything about islam is, just a matter of knowlege, and lack of information.there is nothing like good muslim or bad muslim, all the muslims comes under one roof which called Allah and our prophet (pbuh).

I'm neither a cult member nor a Muslim.  And I have nothing against the guy personally – to me he and his views are  essentially “irrelevant”.   But to answer your question sincerely, I think because most of the people who attack him genuinely believe that he is a fiend who is ultimately here to use and abuse the Y!A platform to convert people to his faith via his make believe "charm" - that's why.    I’m NOT saying that’s what he is really up to, I’m just saying that’s the impression one gets from reading the answers to his questions by people who are not very found of him.    The reasoning being, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and acts like a duck; then it must be a duck.     ...I am certain that Rev. Kip is not only old enough to defend himself but also intelligent enough to realize that his faith-directed views and overall presence and exposition on Y!A is extremely controversial at best; even if he actively attempts to look and act COOL.   …Still, he does not seem to sweat over his critic’s views - the question is: Why should you?

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"

To People like Ritamax1: I have friends that are muslim and that wear hijab willingly! Women in Islam get oppressed by ignorant ppl like you, so be quiet and do some research be4 you say crap u know nothing about. Anyone that kills themselves or others doesn't have a right to call themselves muslims 1st of all. 2nd of all don't be foolish by classifying what a few idiots do (killing themselves and others) to the whole religion. You don't see me saying "omg a christain rapist, now all christains are rapists".\n\n*********************************************************\nTo Everybody:\nYea, it's kind of pathetic how ppl classify the whole of Islam as terrorists when they only see a few idiots that strap bombs to themselves up out of a million sane muslims. I think it's the retarded media...I mean, do ppl really even know the ACTUAL reasons for wearing hijab?

You think you pinpointed Muslims? ..."sexist, child molestors, wife beaters, murderers, and just plain out evil savage humans"  ... this describes ignorant Americans also!  Its universal.  Good job!  (rolling eyes)

Well I think its a shame what both religions are saying about each other i have argued with so called Christians about calling Muhammad a pedophile many times here on answers...It is debatable the age of Aisha and the culture and times would not have made him a pedophile. It gets ugly while i was trying to defend Muslims they were posting sites that absolutely lied about God and Christians and the Bible so it cuts both ways. As a Christian I am more offended by folks calling themselves Christians and acting inappropriately...but such is the way of the world I guess.

Some of you american are so morons.....YOU NEVER GET IT, DO YOU?..like old saying "doesn't matter how hard you try, dog tails never stay straight" ...all muslims are not terriost...and matter of fact...who makes them a terriost????\n\nSo i say stop stealing others wealth and look upon yourself.

As far as I understand it, it is against their own religion.  Therefore they are being inconsistent and hypocritical.  Mohammed was a peaceful leader and yet they blasphemed his name themselves by rising up in such a violent way to 'protect' his good name during the incident of the cartoons.  What of the fact that they have slandered the Christian icon Jesus?  Yet, they don't expect Christians to rise up against them do they?  \nOr is that what they want?  Another holy war to make life interesting?  To lose their loved ones in bitter rage in the name of religions that have both preached peace and love (in spite of admitting only one God)?\nIf it were a matter of severe oppression and humiliation it would be understandable, but still not justified in the eyes of their own religion.  But it is not.  Muslims are accepted worldwide nowadays due to religious tolerance.  They are making THEMSELVES feared and hated through their own actions.  Should others rise up against their religion in the name of their own (as of old) and try to dominate them in the name of THEIR one true God?  Perhaps this would gain a grudging respect from Muslims and matters might calm down.

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..

Oh, please! I mean this is all hogwash!!! The truth is that Mohammad didn't say such things. If he had said, he wouldn't help his wife with the housework!!! Actually, I know that there is a section in the Quran called "Nisa" which meant "The Women" which shows that Quran gives importance to women. And isn't the God same everywhere despite different religions? Would he choose a prophet who find women deficient?! Some sensibility, please!!! As I am a Turkish muslim, I find such ideas "Women are a bad omen." ridiculous and I can't even tolerate those who think in similar ways. Ignorant people make up these stories "Mohammed said: Women are bla bla..." Millions of muslims (at least the Turkish ones) are disturbed by these stories. Some ignorant (and muslim) countries introduce Islam wrongly. I am bored with it.

I don't think the Pope needs to apologize based on my understanding of what was said. As I understand, his comment was from a theological point of view and not meant to be a condemnation of the religion. I guess I think with all of the Muslim violence in the world, Muslims should take a closer look at themselves, fix whatever their problems are and not worry so much about what someone else said, even if it was the Pope.

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.

I wasn't going to answer your question because I am not Muslim.  The question is asked of Muslims, specifically.  Looks like people put in their 2 cents worth without addressing the question. It was called a naive question by a person who would not explain her stance, but you did not ask it.... you relayed it.  You sure got alot of people excited who gave you illogical responses.  Jihad on the west began before we went to Iraq.   I'll wait to see if any Muslims give sincere answers.
