I totally agree with the last thing you typed.  The difference between Muslim and Western world to ME is the Governments, what gets taught in schools and the Religions.  Other than that, we are all people and I for one would love to see all the BS stop and have PEACE ON EARTH.

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.

I don't know...look what happening in Iraq because of terrorists, but do you hear any condimnation or outrage in other Islamic nations ?? NO, they just talk about US and their non-muslims foes.  many muslims disagree, but does disagreement makes differences if you are silent and does not loud your voice just on cartoon?   \n\nIraqis killed everyday, and they called such actions in many countries "RESISTANCE" and in prayer they called them Mujahideen (holy warriors)....  I would love to know if Israel is Islamic what would be the reaction against it?

I don't think westerners are antagonistic to Mohammad. We're antagonistic to those who perpetrate violence in his name. These people are evil and must be called such by Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Do Muslims remain misfits in western society? I am not at all sure that they do. Sure there are some Muslims who do not seem to like western culture and values, but can this be applied to the whole of the Muslim world? I don't think so. Many, many Muslims live and enjoy their lives in the west. In our society they are free to worship as they please and live their lives as they wish. This is a strength of our western culture that I believe most Muslims thoroughly appreciate. Yes there have been people who claim to be Muslims who flew planes in to the World Trade Centre, planted bombs on packed Spanish commuter trains and blew up London tube trains and buses, but these are a twisted minority and do not represent the vast majority of peaceful law abiding Muslims living in our midst. It is my understanding that the holy Qu'ran instructs Muslims how they should conduct themselves when living in foreign countries and I think most adhere to this teaching. Only learning and knowledge of each other and our different beliefs will conquer ignorance. Don't give in to ignorance. That is truly a sin.

Some people in the US and Europe are influenced by these people. This shouldn't happen. Islam is not always good. The people who believe in it try to exaggerate over some issues. I think they need to know that sometimes what they do and say make no sense at all.

I've written a great deal about the dangers of Islam lately, but you must understand, there is a great deal of misunderstanding about the Middle-east due to differences that most Westerners don't even consider:\n1) When most Westerners speak, they look at the speaker when listening, but the speaker looks away most of the time.\nFor many Middle-eastern cultures it is the other way around, looking when speaking, and looking away when listening.  Here's the funny part: It makes Westerners look like they are evasive and deceitful when the speak and too bold when they listen.  Westerners often think Middle-eastern people to be careless listeners and to be too forceful when talking, all due to differences in body language!\n2) The personal space of many Middle-eastern people is much smaller, and conversations often occur at a close enough distance to make most Westerners very uncomfortable.  Middle-eastern people often find Westerners suspicious and distant.\n3) In the Middle-east, the left hand is considered private and is not used to touch others often, as it is the hand used for cleaning oneself.  The right hand is used for eating and touching.  Westerners are very careless by Middle-eastern standards and touch everything with either hand, while some Middle-easterners seem hesitant to touch or awkward due to switching hands to do something.\n4) My mother used to travel extensively with her father, an oil executive, to the Middle-east, and became Sufi herself, as did her mother.  She commented often about how people would respond with "it broke itself" rather than "it broke".  They would leave cars by the side of the road, dispose of clocks that ran down, not because they didn't know it could be repaired, but because there was no real acceptance of trying to fix things that have 'broken themselves'.\n5) Western women are careless, provocative, and flaunt themselves constantly, proving they are whores to Middle-eastern morals.  Western women who then turn around and pretend they aren't are even lower.  The poor Western women are totally perplexed when the clothing, manners, and words that we accept in a free society and still respect the rights of the woman involved suddenly results in 'undeserved abuse'!  It's even worse if in their countries!\n6) Much of the flowery speech so wildly exaggerated by Western films of how Middle-easterners speak to each other is based on what to them is proper courtesy.  Imagine stepping back in time a century or two and see what effect YOUR speech would have on U.S. citizens!  No, they see us as rude and often get even more polite, while at the same time determining how best to be done with you, leaving Westerners even more confused when they suddenly find themselves politely being shown the door!  Westerners are used to rudeness as a sign that they have made a mistake, and a chance to fix it.\n7) Do I really need to go on?  Their values and personalities are quite reasonable for their culture and beliefs, but mixed with ours, it's dynomite waiting to explode.\n\nNone of this excuses the misunderstandings for either group, and sometimes it comes down to "us or them", but it never hurts to be aware of these things.  I strongly suggest people read the Koran, not just for cultural understanding (always useful), but to recognize the dangers that Islam poses to the West until it goes through the reformation those in the know are trying to start, by force, if necessary.\n\nOh, I think a few things about their personality could be learned from.  But I'm a U.S. citizen and patriot.  Stand strong, folks, but understand what you are facing.  One day they'll be some of our best allies, just like Japan.

It's not really as bad as saying they're all terrorists, since a lot of westerners actually are christians.  Sure they shouldn't generalise like that, but there are far worse things.  And you're doing the same thing by saying that middle eastern people group all westerners together.

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

I notice that Muslims in the West are more naive and believing. Many of them are either extremely religious or liberal. Many of them would study the history of Islam, and the Life of the Prophet Muhammad, amongst many Islamic resources, as they progress, or before they convert.\nThey focus less on the rituals (like which foot goes into the bathroom, which side is better to sleep on etc, more on theoratical and scholarly side.)\nHowever, Muslims in Asia are in both extremes. Extremely religious, or extremely non-religious. Many of the non-religious people don't even know their own religion at all, they're only born Muslim.\nMany are rather moderate and practice their religion so personally you'd never know they were really muslims, even if the women in the family wore headscarfs.\nMany are nice, ordinary people.\n\nHowever, they focus more on the "physical", the rituals, less on the history, mostly by route memorization of specific texts and verses picked here and there rather than knowing the full meaning and verse, sentence, paragraph or origin of the text. This could be because they were born Muslim and many have read the Qu'ran by memorization only.\n\nThis isn't counting the extreme-thought Muslims who are holier-than-thou with their attitudes but still sleep around and drink alcohol - like my Saudi friend.

The problem is in Danish government which is don't has any politic man who can prevent this tension in relation between 1,000,000,000 muslim and Danish people .\nsecond point is who draw this carton has no enough knowledge in history because if you knew who is Mouhammed you will respect him . \nthird point the problem in freedom because everything in this world has limit no one in this world can talk in everything so you have to respect muslim as the muslim people respect you but the strange thing is how  is this come from Danish people because they are a nice  people . \nhow is the drawer do something like this drew carton about somebody who they didn't know ?Now this is my message to the West: \n\n\n\nThere exists a cultural vagueness in the West. This vagueness results from the presence of two different concepts. The first is a great Western concept that we respect, appraise, and need. That concept is freedom of speech. This is a great humane and civilized concept. On the other hand, there is the great Islamic concept of dignifying Allah’s Messenger (SAWS). The problem arises due to the lack of understanding of the Islamic Civilization and the Western Civilization regarding these two concepts. The non-Muslims cannot value the rank of dignifying the Prophet (SAWS). On the other hand, due to the below-average quality of practical application of freedom of speech, Muslims have a vague understanding of the concept of respecting freedom of speech. \n\n\n\nAccordingly, what is required now? We do not want to refuse the concept of freedom of speech, absolutely not. However, the West should alter the freedom of speech so that it does not collide with the very important Islamic value of dignifying the Prophet (SAWS). Here lies the vagueness and ambiguity. The West understands very well the freedom of speech (which we appreciate) but it does not understand Islamic values, such as dignifying the Prophet (SAWS) and other Islamic sanctities. This is where the Western cultural vagueness lies.\n\n\n\nI clearly say to the West, you have a problem. You cannot comprehend how much the Muslims love Prophet Muhammad (SAWS). You are still unable to understand this point. If you had really encompassed its significance, you would never have accepted what happened. The West, in general, governments and people, does not apprehend that Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to us than our parents, dearer to me than my father and dearer than my mother. I am sure that any Muslim woman listening to me now, be her religious or not, will swear on that fact. Just ask, what does Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) mean to you? It is not even necessary to do that because it is so evident, but you may conduct surveys for yourselves, and you will realize how true what I am saying is. Ask any youth, be he heedless or pious; ask any Muslim anywhere, in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Yemen or in Egypt. Ask any Muslim in any village regardless of how religious he is, be he an obedient Muslim or not, a drug user or not, successful in his life or a failure, old or young, ask them, what does Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) mean to you?\n\n\n\nO West, I affirm that Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to all Muslims than their own parents. O West, Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to us, Muslims, than our children and grandchildren. O West, Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to us than our money, dearer to us than our own selves. He is dearer to us than our own countries. O Egyptian, who is dearer to you, Egypt or Allah’s Prophet? O Saudi, who is dearer to you, Saudi Arabia or Allah’s Prophet? O Yemeni, O Moroccan, O Algerian, who is dearer to you, your country or Allah’s Messenger (SAWS)? O West, comprehend that meaning, Allah’s Messenger (SAWS) is dearer to Muslims than their children and their own selves.\n\n\n\nWe can never forget the hadith that I repeatedly mentioned during the episodes of “On the Path of the Beloved”. O West, listen to this hadith[11] as it form

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.

Muslims don't care and are not interested in truth.\n\nFunny story; http://homelessheart.com/three_men.htm

Absolutely!  A few years ago I had the opportunity to work with several Yemenis and Saudis.  They are the salt of the earth; hard-working, family men, always eager to learn.  And I could always count on them to show up for work stone cold sober.\nWe often discussed the differences between the cultures of the Middle East and the Western world.  Though they didn't like some of the things they saw in the West (this was in Hawai'i), they unanimously had NO desire whatsoever to use violence to change it.  They completely accepted the fact that the West was different, and they could live with that.\nI think that this is the case in most of the Muslim world; since then I've traveled to Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Oman.  In my experience Muslims are overwhelmingly generous and kind people, even if they disagree with the customs of the Western nations.

yes, I totally agree 100%.. I am muslim and it seems the west just doesnt even care one twit about teaching the facts about it.. We are all blood thirsty terrorists to them.. They never realize that its not the religion to blame, its twisted fanatics who interpret the faith wrong to blame, which there are fanatics everywhere in all faiths.. 99.999% of muslims fear terrorism like the rest of the world.

We don't - or at least most of us don't.  There is a minority of people who cannot understand the difference between "some terrorists are Muslim" and "all Muslims are terrorists."
