Happy,\n\nThe Muslims that I met in the Middle East were just people. Some are nice and some are not. Religion is not practiced strictly by most people, but is more like a club that helps them socially and in business. There are repressive governments, and it is difficult for an American to tolerate the abuses of freedom in those countries.\n\nThere is a Muslim “problem” that is obvious to anyone. In Sudan, the Arab Muslims tried for 20 years to wipe out all Christians and killed many and destroyed lives, churches, homes, etc. Today they are engaged in trying to kill the black Muslims in the Darfur region of the country. Hundreds of thousands are being killed and the increasing violence has left hundreds of thousands of civilians in Darfur without food, and facing the prospect of widespread disease and death within weeks.\n\nThe conflict between Arab Muslims and black Muslims has already killed an estimated 300,000 in the past two years and has left nearly two million people homeless. Most of the refugees have fled for their lives into neighboring Chad. Raids by rebel groups along the border have raised the threat level and the possibility of all out war between Sudan and Chad.\n\nCaught in the middle are the black Muslim men, women, and children in refugee camps spread out along the border. The Sudanese government has used militia known as the Janjaweed to unleash a campaign of murder, rape, arson, and looting against these black Muslims just like they did against the Christians.\n\nThe recent raids by the Janjaweed have caused some in the refugee camps to flee back into Darfur, a region with active genocide. It is the first genocide of the 21st century as the Sudanese government is directly pursuing the murder of millions of their countrymen.\n\nI don’t understand the murder of 3,000 innocent Americans in 2001, but at least one might argue that we have differing cultures and religions. In Sudan, the Arab Muslims are trying to destroy the black Muslims who share the same religion. It is a very troubling religion that espouses that kind of violence.\n\nAs I said, I met some very nice Muslims in the Middle East, and so I admit that I’m confused about the violence against innocent people in the name of Islam. The really bad places in the Middle East are the countries where the religion is in charge of the government.\n\nIn the dark ages, the Catholic Church was as bad or worse when they were in charge of governments. That’s why our founding fathers were so determined to preclude the church from any controlling interest in our government.\n\nFreedom is great, and most Americans are naïve concerning the way the rest of the world lives. Everyone should take a trip to the Middle East or South America or Asia at least once in their lifetime to appreciate how good it really is here.\n\nGod bless.

I have learned a lot from my new friend about Islam. I am especially thankful for her tolerance of me as a Christian.\nI have a whole lot to learn and our relationship will grow through our teaching each other.

you're right, and thanx for spreading the word. I think you should continue to educate about Islam so that people have a better understanding of Islam. That way, there will be less descrimination, I hope.

I hate that this has been my experience, but I can only tell you what I have experienced.  I don't know many Muslims in my everyday life, but the ones I know are good people, and I can't even imagine that they would hate Jewish people, or hate anyone.  But, like I say, I don't know many Muslims.  I am interested in religion, and I sometimes go to various religious chatrooms.  Almost ANY time I have ever gone to a Muslim chatroom, I have found people expressing intense hatred of Jewish people.  Of course, chatrooms do not tend to bring out the best people, for whatever reason.  So I'm hoping that this is just some sort of abnormal thing.\n\nBut quite honestly, I HAVE seen a lot of Islamic websites that have insults about Jewish people.  As you point out, these are not following the way of Islam.  Ok, and one last little tidbit is that there was a locally well-known doctor's office in my area where there was a Muslim doctor and a Jewish doctor who worked together.  They absolutely hated each other and this was plain to see.  I'm sure it was over some differences in medicine or something, but people just make assumptions.

It's not Muslims that are undervalued, everyone non western is. Our schools do not teach our children to view the world with open eyes. They are programmed from an early age to memorize American history. Only very small glimpses of anything else is instructed.\n\np.s. thanks for the names and reference. I love to learn about other cultures and will enjoy this new discovery!

I am a muslim woman.  I have two children.  I teach them both to treat others as they would like to be treated, to apologize if they accidentally harm someone or insult somebody, and to have manners.  I don't know a single muslim with these insane plans in mind.  In other countries, probably, but I know of none here.

what do you need to know? Muslims are normal human beings with dreams of a peaceful life just like any other person in the world, be more specific in your question

Giving Dawah !!!\n\nHaving lots of non- muslim friends that you can teach Islam to :-)\n\nSpreading Islam promoting a good image of muslims that is the way

I dont think Islam respects anyone who doesnt see like they do, which may be true for other religions too, but "death to the infidels" is a uniquely Muslim idea that may bear upon the poor image.

Your intent is not understood.  People think that you are inciting hatred towards Muslims.  But all you have done was shown a video where a little Muslim girl is doing the talking herself.  \n\nI think you have a genuine concern that a huge percentage of our world's population is being raised with hate ideology.  It is reason to be concerned.  \n\nI think you want Muslims to become better people, as you would want all to become better people.  However your phraseology is extreme sometimes.  You say things like "idiots" and that can be taken as hatred of Muslims.  I understand your frustration, and I appreciate your desire to reform the world towards peace, but I think if I were you, I'd use kinder language sometimes so that people do not misread your intent.

"Forgive them Father for they know not what they do." is a really great thesis ......... but can someobody tell me how the hell am i going to learn if i don't ask? Only fools don't ask.\n\nI believe in God, but still there are so many issues i don't understand, not just about my religion - others too (i respect each and everyone's religious choices and i want to learn about them ..... if for nothing else, then at least for the sake of debate).\n\nOne more thing, in islam we are always ordered to inquire and search for answers, we are encouraged to seek knowledge and no one will stop me but God Himself.\n\nNow, you have a nice day - great question indeed :)

to impossible_dream: \n\nFirst, muslims dont think that christians or jews are evil. So your statement is wrong. YOu said that you dont want to know more than that. Therefore, you cant make a statemtn on Islam because it will be extremely biased. Secondly, the one andonly information you have is wrong, and that means you have absolutely no idea about Islam.\n\nMost educated non judgemental people are right. Its what is perceived in the media that causes all the judgements. And you really cant blame them. These so called "muslim" dictators are all over the media, all over the world. Thats why there is a lot of misconception.\nUnfortunately, when a good muslim cleric tries to resolve the problems, people think he is also one of them, since he looks like them, the turban, the beard, the clothes.\n\nPeople should start looking to what people have to say, not what they look like.\n\nHowever, its good to know that some people know that the problems are caused by extremists who have nothing to do with Islam.

Yes, yes and yes! I'm a Muslim who believes in tolerance, love and peace. Yet, I keep getting stereotyped as a terrorist because of the horrible, insane actions of some fanatics who misinterpret, or misuse, the teachings of my beloved religion. I hate them and everthing they stand for; It breaks my heart to see them commit these evil acts against innocent people in the name of Islam, which has always taught me to respect other people's beliefs and how to live and let live. It's not fair to label me and my religion based on what these monsters do. It's just not fair.

Please take the time to\nvote for the best answer\n\nThank You!!\n\nhttp://www.suwaidan.com/\nHe was in toronto Canada on December 25th\n\nDr. Tareq Al-Suwaidan, a popular TV personality in the Arab countries, captivated the audience as he related the early life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) and the establishment of the Muslim community. \n\nAl-Suwaidan is the producer of the album, Qassas al-Anbiyaa (Lives of the Prophets), which is one of the best selling Islamic albums in the world. \n\nHe expressed his great admiration for the justice and pluralism that exists in Canada. \n\n“I would like to express my love and admiration for this country, Canada,” he said.  “Canada shall stay great as long as it has justice.” \n\nHe encouraged the Canadian Muslim community to be exemplars of Islam. \n\n“Muslims cannot live in isolation,” Al-Suwaidan said. “You must be involved. You must show the world the beauty of Islam,” he urged the audience. \n\n\nhttp://www.islamonline.net/English/News/2004-12/25/article02.shtml

i am for free speech!! keep it up!! muslims should learn tolerance just like Christians had too. it is unfair for groups to say it is wrong to depict mohammand but it is OK to depict Christ.
