You can achieve your desire to study in the west, Europe or continental America and still continue your life as usual.\nHowever the Niqaab ( face covering) would be a problem, especially with what ishappenig with the US and Iraq and all of the ani-Muslim (Anti_Islamic) rhetoric in the news.\nAs skertrevir said, you can easily contine with your head sarf.\nMany Muslim Girls and women do so and face minimum difficulties.\nMay God Bless you in yoru quest for Knowlege and to improve your life. Ameen

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.

You live in the West, you abide by Western laws. It's really that simple. If you want to walk around in a Darth Vader outfit, move to a Muslim country.

Yes.. I have read the Koran, I have chatted with some of the OK muslims, and yes I understand that there are a few good ones.  But the bad ones outweigh the good ones.  Their Koran does include the verses about killing, raping, and was written by a pedofile.  No one can deny this.  What is the big deal of trying to convince us that there are not a lot of bad ones out there.  Hitler did a lot of bad things and there were a lot of bad Germans at that time, but not all were with Hitler.  So what is the point??  You are trying to whitewash Islam and it can't be done.  Leave the good ones alone and let them be good.  They really should seperate themselves from the rest of Islam.  The peaceful Muslims should invent another name and go ahead with that and let the bad ones go their way.  If the peaceful Muslims continue to associate themselves with the bad ones then they will all be colored with the same brush.  The things that they do, cutting off hands, feet, taking out eyes for Islamic legal punishment.  There is no denying this.  Muslims dis-assocaite yourselves with these folks!  Become western muslims or something like that.\nLast year they discovered TWO Islamic terrorists cells in Lodi CA in the mosques there, how many times have you read that about the Baptists??  Give me a break, dis-associate.\nWHY DON'T THE MUSLIMS PROTEST IRAN GETTING NUKES?? They are silent.  \nWHY DON'T THE MUSLIMS PROTEST. OSAMA BIN LADEN??  They are silent.\nWHY DON'T THE MUSLIMS GO BACK AND FIGHT TO HAVE PEACE IN THEIR LAND?  They are not there.\nI am not talking about the ones in Iraq that are trying to do the right thing, I am talking about the ones safe and secure in the US complaining.

I am a christian.I understand the muslims are maybe more religious than others.So why do they offend these people?Why don t they just let them be?The muslims never offend other religions but we "westerners" provoke them.

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.

u cant say something like that about a group of people. some may hate westeners and some may be jealous but not all of them fit into 1 of these catagories. im not muslim but it is still offensive to see stereotypes like that on the internet. what if some said do westeners hate the east or are they just jealous. its a stupid and uneducated remark to classify some one by their race, religion... im sure other people feel the same way!

Yes I do, I have a 360 Blog. I used to have a dawah blog but it was to much for me to keep up with so I changed it to a personal one. But it is still 90% about Islam as Islam is my life. Please come by and take a look. Got a very serious topic right now. I have a major decision to make and I am struggling with it. I posted all about it on my blog.

I don't think you are a middle eastern or a muslim when I read your questions.  The first thought that came into my mind was a very heavy-handed and one-sided bias.  I am glad that you are doing the necessary research to justify and re-affirm your convictions, but I somehow get the feeling that you are specifically researching to judge and condemn.  Don't get me wrong, I get what you are trying to do, I just can't seem to shake the impression of rabid.\n\nI am anti-war too, and I grew up amongst muslims; some have been my best friends and some my worst religious and cultural enemies, but I still seek out, talk to, and most importantly, listen to both sides of the conflict.\n\nAcknowledging the bad is good, but acknowledging the good is also crucial, although the most important is learning from your mistakes and rectifying it (and trying not to crow in the process).\n\nThat was a general statement, it was not directed at you specifically, if you are so inclined to take offense.\n\nMay God and His Word dictate your actions.

Yes, I have gotten a straight answer from Muslims, when I ask a serious question and want a serious response.\n\nYou see, you are looking for a specific answer.  You are not really looking for a "straight answer," you are looking to have your personal opinion justified.   The answers you are looking for is: "Islam sucks," and "Muhammed was an evil, no-good, stupid doody head."   No Muslim is going to give you that kind of answer.  And no reasonable non-Muslim is going to give you that kind of an answer either.  Why?  Because Muslims believe in their religion.  And because Islam, when practiced by reasonable people, is a peaceful and loving religion.\n\nPeople point out that "X and Y does it too" because Muslims do not have the market cornered on radical, fundamental, irrational, violent religious craziness.  There is violent passages in the Torah and Bible.  The Judaeo-Christian god instructs believers to kill non-believers.  Slavery, pederasty, incest, rape - all these are in the Torah and the Bible, and is not condemned.  The point of it is, there are faithful Jews and Christians who do not go around doing these things because they understand that this was written a long time ago, that times have changed, and that these are metaphorical and symbolic guides to living your life.  Muslims today understand that the Quran was written a long time ago, and that times have changed, and that it is a metaphorical and symbolic guide to living life.  Most Muslims choose to interpret the Quran in a peaceful, loving and reasonable way.\n\nMuch of what the West understands about Muslims comes from what we see on television, what is going on in the Middle East.  The Middle East is a politically, socially and economically unstable region right now.  Fundamentalist religious wackos flourish in this kind of chaotic environment.  However, it is not due so much to the religion, as to poverty, political destabilization, etc.  In other words, if there was the same kind of circumstances in, say, Europe, you would be seeing Christian or Jewish wackos on the television right now as opposed to Muslim wackos.

The west is already at war with a small segment of Islam. The question is, will Islam go to war with itself and extinguish the radical element, or will mainstream Islam join the radicals.\n\nPeople should recognize that huge percentages of muslims are non practicing and don't even go to mosque. This is especially true in Europe where some estimates show 80% of the muslim population not really formally participating.

so who died and made you ambassor for most people.  I personally am not afraid of any religion...in fact I know many muslims that are very good, productive members of society.
