why western media is against the muslims? Can Western Goverments do something to make it to solve this matter?

Unfortunately, western media is not against muslims.  They condone the muslim terrorists after they destroy things, burn people alive, and murder babies.  No, western governments cannot do legally do anything to the media, but the middle-eastern governments can do something about it.  They can crack down on the terrorists.  All the good muslims need to stop allowing these terrorists to do their acts of evil, and then there won't be any reason for us to dislike them.

Perfect question !\n\nI do not believe that forcing would bring a better treatment of understanding of the issues... Exposing the absurdity of it and containment would be the best approach.\n\nI just saw a chest box... On one side it had the leaders of the West, Bush, CHirac, Sharon and Kofi Annan, on the other side, Arafat, Chinese leader, Putin and another arab leader...  It is clear to me that the UN is perceived as the ennomy for most Islamic states and for a majority of Muslims, they see it and understand it as a puppet of their Ennemi to control them...\n\nThe UN is the grounds from which to level these types of religious idioties. It is blatantly against all the principles the UN was built upon.. and specifically against de declaration of Human Rights... So much so that Islamic Countires now define an `Islamic human rights`charter, what does that say, what does that mean ?\n\nYou take the Red Cross, which symbolises the Neutrality of Swizerland who intiated the movement with no religious affiliations... they start the Red Crossant... Every thing is put in light of the Islamic ideology instead of Humanity...\n\nThe pressure must come from the UN through Countries such as India, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia (I doubt they would), Libanon, Turkey... countries who need to persue their accountability on aligning their intention with these basics human rights...\n\nAustralia almost pulled back their troops from there... I beleive that the pressure is happening simply because of the incestual relationship of Afhany governemnt right now with the foreign troops... The pressure needs to come from organizations, foreign Aids... It must also come from better informed MEdia such as declaring with no SOLID basis that Islam is the fastest growing religion... These census don`t take into account these Apostasy laws, the silence of those who leave Islam even in the West where many (that I know personnally) must stay silent about it in order to protect their loved ones abroad or even to protect their family locally from communal harrasement based on dishonors... \n\nIn any case, this is a clear exemple that should demonstrate that Islam is not at all a growing religion if it needs to put down and KILL competition... It shows it`s blatant lack of Self Esteem as a faith when these demonstration of absurdity are exposed... \n\nThink of what occured that was Islamically influenced that demonstrate lack of religious maturity and insecurity:\n\nCartoons\nEuropean Riots of last summer\nAustralian Riots\nThe continous terrorist attacks from Muslims against Muslims\nThe Darfour Genocide\nThe convetions to `prove`that the holocaust did not exist\nDenials of Armanian Genocide\nElections of violent or racist parties into governemtn in many Islamic countries when they can cast a vote.\n\nThese are a portrait of the situation... I am not saying that the West, China or India have clean slates and don`t make foolish and very condamnable acts... what I am saying is that there is a culture within the Muslim mainstream community that denies REALITY... And i did not say denies the Truth because that can be twisted... I mean denies REALITY.\n\nIn this case even in the USA, CAIR the Muslim Rights Lobbyist group took a few days to make a statement... Why ? Because they needed to validate with Muslim clerics what to say and what they can stand for... INSANE !!! There is no need to ask any advice from anyone on such blatant case of Tribal backwardness (Supported by so called educated advanced civilized autorities...)

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.

there is  a marked  difference of believes but still there was a possibility of that but now  media has dragged  them soo much apart that its realy impossible for now...muslims are angry about killings in Iraq , Afghanistan and palestine and christains are angry about 9/11 and london bombings.....and media is making things  even worse . Well on indiviual level  it is possible but not for  whole community..

No you can't, I agree with what you said 100%. \nIt's scary what's happening in europe, muslims are emigrating there in droves and they bring along with it all their hateful ideology, and if the time comes when they are asked to chose between their hateful clerics whims, or their country... They are gonna chose the hateful cleric.

If you are frank in your question, here is a frank answer from a Muslim:\n\nYes, ‘violence’ seems to be the first option in Muslim populated countries. \n\n1. Most of the Muslim population in the world has lower living standards, more socio-economic problems in comparison with Western population. The extremists are usually belong to the lowest income level and uneducated. Religion is the only thing for them to hold on in life and only way to satisfy the ‘being a part of something bigger than them’. Therefore, their belief and devotion are easily misused by Muslim and Non-Muslim opportunists/leaders/ politicians who benefit from the sparks/rows/conflicts. \n\n2. For these groups, violence is the only way of ‘reaction’ and also comes to scene with the support of opportunists. On the other hand,  some of them, of course,  know the other ways of ‘reaction’ or ‘opposition’ but don’t believe that they are going to work anymore.\n\nI didn’t like the cartoons also. I am not planning to take gun and bust an embassy but I am not planning to protest it in any other proper way also. Frankly, I  do not think that it will make any difference or contribute to any debate. In this part of the world, lots of things go wrong, which western countries, especially U.S have a major role. For sure, being insulted by cartoons cannot be a justification of violence. Two wrong does not make one right. What about Palestine ? This should be applicable there also. What is the justification of the violence, especially to the women & children and by the hand of a government? Does two wrong make one right there? Recent election showed that today consderable number of people in Palestine support Hamas. Why? They has been suffering for years, waiting to be heard by the ones who has been lecturing them the human rights. Today not only a group of terrosits but the majority does not believe a solution/reaction any other than violence. What about Iran Nuclear Row ? I am not happy with the idea of Iran having Nuclear bombs. But also I don’t understand why U.S, Israil can develop it but Iran cannot. As for conclusion, from our standing point, it looks like there is a western hypocrisy in many cases. I believe that most of the Muslims lost the belief to western world, their system of values and understanding of democracy and most importantly they lost the belief to the other ways of ‘being heard’, ‘react’ and ‘make difference’     \n  \n3. I believe that the cartoons are not the reason of this violence but the excuse. \n\nPiled up anger found a crack to explode. This part of the world is bleeding. Palastine, Afganhistan, Iraq. Do you think that we are happy living in region of wars? \nI thought that Syria going to be next but it looks like it is going to be Iran. May be after Iran and Syria, it is going to be turn of my country. I personally show a serious effort not to provide any excuse to U.S. and Britain to sweep away my country and also try not to complain a lot about my country in order not to provide them any opportunity to come and rescue me and equip me with their understanding of democracy (!)\n\nI think  most of the Muslims living in this part of the world are angry in some extent to  U.S and Western countries because of their middle east ambition, because of interference which is obviously not contributing the peace in the region. Therefore, I believe that although the cartoons have serious role in reaction, it seems like they are mostly an excuse for violence. \n\nThe most interesting thing in this picture is that they discharged their anger to European countries although it is well known that there is certain anger even hatred against U.S in most of the Muslim countries.  In this case, the U.S., country of freedom, stepped back in a case of ‘freedom of expression’ , criticized the cartoons and didn’t want contribute a supporting debate that insulting Muslims, which is very touching by the way (!) \n\nThere can

By imposing religious values of one religion on all people\n\nIn the Western democracies there is a considerable freedom of religion. &#92;\nOn the other hand in the Muslim countries there is very little or none.\nFor example in Saudi Arabia, travelers have their bibles confiscated. Not-Muslims are not allowed to visit Mecca. The substantial number of Non-Muslims from India, Philippines, and the West are working in Saudi, yet no churches, or temples are allowed. The non-Muslims get arrested for celebrating Christians or Devali in their private homes. The non-Muslims are not even allowed to burry their dead in Saudi, the corpses are being sent back to their countries of origins for burial!\nOther Muslim countries are only slightly less oppressive to their minorities:\nIn Pakistan and Bangladesh Hindus are being so persecuted and their numbers have gone down to just a quarter since independence. \nChristianity used to be just as oppressive as Islam; fortunately it has gradually lost most of its power over the last 5 centuries.

when one of the burning questions in the news nationwide is "should muslim women wear a veil or not?" then i think the national identity of the UK has already disappeared, there are much more important issues to be discussed than this, and to deflect the awareness of the country away from the important things that face them in their everyday life, ie crime,unemployment,poverty etc. I feel we are having our media manipulated in order to garner sympathy for a cause that does not need it, that cause being the advancement of Islam, which is one of the largest religions in the world, and you know what really pees me off? the muslims say they're being trampled by this government, when if it wasn't for the english people taking them in from their troubled countries, they would probably be dead now.

Isn't it amazing how limited some peoples views are.  A few Muslims try to kill dozens of Europeans with car bombs and such.  Do the Europeans blame the entire Middle East?  NO!  A few European newspapers print some cartoons and the entire Middle East blames everybody in Europe.\n\nSo lets compare.  On one hand we have dead people, the other a cartoon.  Which is more serious?  \n\nComplain to the individuals that printed the cartoons and blame them.  It's not the country's fault or it's citizens.   I believe that the newspapers printed those cartoons to upset Muslims and so they could sell more newspapers\n\nEven though these countries in Europe believe in freedom of religion, if these immigrants keep act up like they do, things might change for the worse.

This is a really big question. Some muslims say that the real reason for their dependence on western countries is because they have been huminilated by them, which could be partly true giving that most muslim countries have been invaded by different western countries.\n\nOn the other hand, muslims say that their jihad is to spread their message to the world and if someone stops them he would be a sinner who should be fought.

The word 'cartoon' is irrelevant in this whole story - it is not the way Mohammed was depicted, but the very fact that he was depicted at all which causes offence to Muslims. There is no easy secular or Christian analogy.\n\nMy own opinion is that any newspaper aimed at a mass or general market should attempt to be sensitive to as many views as possible. Let those who wish to exercise press freedom as an end in itself, simply because they can, be happy with pamphleteering until they can appreciate that with freedom comes responsibility.

Ok... Some pratical challenges facing muslims living in western countries.....\nProblems with how the banking system complys with Sariah law. How can muslims take a mortgage when lending money at interest is forbiden.\n\nHow to find a halal job. Can you work in a supermarket that sells alcohol.  Does your company support the war on Iraq, how can you square that with your beliefs.  Can a women wear her hijab to work? etc

You make some good points. It's amazing how so many people can deliberately ignore calls from Muslim leaders, even in "moderate" countries, to kill or convert all non Muslims. Were it up to me, we wouldn't give a penny to any of those monsters.

The whole of Islam is full of controversy and division.  They are a divided camp with the western ones saying the middle eastern ones are not muslims and vice versa.  The violent verses stand in their koran and they try to say they mean something else when they clearly say what they say.  40% of UK muslims want the UK to convert to shari law.  Their whole situation would never have developed the civilization of europe or the usa as they are.  We would be living in mud huts under shari law, but they don't see it that way.

Today , the world sees the arabs and particulary the muslims as uncivilised people . Let me ask you a question : Why beleve the media ? Why beleve the western polititians ? Why does western people differ of the arabs ? I'm not saying that their wrong , I am saying that their exagerating .This is my idea and  Bin laden has the pretty same idea . He's in anger of the lies of the western peole . He inhertitated a lot of money from his familie and he decided to use it to buy arms and defend his people . He is an honoroble man . Let me remind you that the Americans created Bin Laden to do terrorist atacks on the USSR . Figure it out yourself
