Did you believe what Moussaoui said about why muslims have America?

I believe that islam is a type of organized hatred promoter who wants to gain control of the whole world to establish a one single Islamic Nation

I think there are more Americans that are (at least partly) like Timothy McVeigh than there are Muslims that are (at least partly) like Osama Bin Laden.\n\nBut hey, this will get me at least 7 thumbs down :)

I think you may find that recent usa activity in the middle east is at least questionable in some countries.\nAnd this Iran thing now... \nYou could only hear muslims (don't get me wrong here) before, talking bad about america, now it's a global discussion...\nNo conclusion. Just thinking...\n\nI don't dislike americans. Have to go there and see what is this "new world" deal all about. lol.\nWhat's the best way to contact you? email me.

I wish I had a good answer for you. I hope that Muslims reading this realize that this is what Americans are asking. You summed it up perfectly.

Hold on to your seat.  I may open your eyes a bit, or wake you up.\n\nWe have our problems, and some don't get fair treatments, but compare to other places around the world, it is by far so much better.\nFrom your question, I can see you have already determined your judgments on the American, with not room for discussion.  But, Just in case there is... let me ask you to take a look at other places around the world, and try to see how fair they are, then compare them to us.  For example, take Drafur, people are dying by huge numbers under the Arab Muslims, many are starving, don't have home or anything at all, and holding on for dear life.  These people are still being slaves to the Arabs, who they claim they are against slavery, yet, some muslims still use people as slaves.  Saudi Arabia, there is not what so ever any religious freedom, if you are not Muslim, you are not permitted to pray, outside your home or even in hiding, never, if caught you will be persecuted.  Egypt, if you are want to convert to Islam, they will pave the way for you with gold, and make it so easy to change your name your life, and even pay you to convert to Islam, but if you wish to convert away from Islam, you will lose everything, even you spouse and children.  Your life will be hard, so hard that if they didn't kill you first, you would wish to die in hiding.  True case, a two teen girls converted to Islam, later these sweet girls sue their parents for their brother, and the court gave them their brother away from their parents.  Christianss are being dumped on, trashed, and their churches burned and distroyed.  But, there is hope for them, because there still some good muslims who are speaking out of them, they are few, but it is better than none.  England, during the riots in England over the cartoons, a man was sentenced to jail for screaming at some of the protesters to go back to their country if they didn't like freedom of speech.  An English man, sentenced by the English government who was against those who were call for another 9/11 in Europe.  Fair!!! Germany a man was killed over a movie! churches are being destroyed or converted to mosques! in the middle east jobs are being given to only muslims even if there someone who is more qualified.  Dubai, if you are or even have an Israeli stamp on your passport! you will not be permitted to enter the country.  Rape, do you know that some of these radicals consider raping an infidel is permitted in their faith! I don't believe it, but they do! is that fair?!!!\n\nLimit gay marriage??? can you tell us where in the middle east, can gay get wed.\nAfrican American slavery? past tense. but they are still slave to the Arabs till the day.\ndid you know that Russian girls are being used as sex slaves in places like saudi,  and Iran!! shocked, don't be it is truly unfair.\nDid you know it is a sin for the salve to run away from their master in Islam, but not owning a slave!\nCompensate blacks! that means one recoginzed a mistake and wants to make it better, or correct it. get the difference.\nShow us one fair, or better country than the US! take your time. you will not find it.

Because Islam does not preach the killing of infidels. You can see many ancient communities still living in Muslim societies like the Jews and Zoroastrians of Iran, the Coptics of Egypt, and the aboriginals of Malaysia.\n\nThe "sudden" hate towards US is not specifically by the Muslims, in fact Americans don't know that most of the world aren't fond of America. This is because of it's forcefulness towards other nations by implimenting forced democracy and its very bad foreign policy. It's media are also to be blamed as they say that America is the best country in the world and that made Americans think that they are the only important thing in this world.\n\nAfricans are getting thinner and dying, while Americans are getting fat and partying. Distribute and share your wealth! You're like the millionaire in a very very very poor village. Do you think the village will respect you?

I know a muslim scholar who kept saying to me that the unitarian christians believe exactly as the muslim belief regarding the onennes of god & that unfortuantley they don`t know that the prophet whom they are waiting for has already appeared with the message of Islam\nhe said that he went to visit those unitarians in America in their churches & that some of them did convert to Islam

It is good to know that Mohammed had slaves. The american muslims think only jews or whites were slavemasters.\nIt is better to look in Christianity for your faith. Islam is a violent religion. The run by what psychologists call the\n"pack mentality". The attack kill, rape, and convert to their religion by force. It is not the 7th century as when they founded their religion. But they continue doing war to everyone not thinking like them to this day.\n\nWell said Rickanne5!!

As an American who about five years ago moved from her home country I may be able to put some light on this in general. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say in my case. Number one you may have answered a big part of it when you said we need to know more than what we see on television. Many many people get their ideas about things that way.  Not purposely of course. You don't sit and watch tv and conciously decide this is how it is but subconciously you can't really help it if you are subjected to it constantly.\n\nI was born a into a middle class american family in the last year of the fifties and was raised in school saying the pledge of allgience every day.  Singing God bless america blah blah blah.America is such a big country that it is almost too easy to forget there is " the rest of the world " out there.  About five years ago I moved to England to marry an English man and I have to say that so many of my beliefs have changed.  I have learned so much more about other peoples lives and their past.  I know that ENgland is another western country so I realize that it isn't so different however I do come into contact with people from so many different places here. Where I work my first best friend was from India. She was so sweet and so very intelligent. She learned what we did a lot quicker than I did even though english was her second language and she had to help me several times. I work with many many young muslim people and they are the nices group of kids. They are much more respectful than many others I have known. ANd just because I have always loved people we get a lot of conversations and I find out that very few of them agree that the terrorist things we have seen are right.\n\nI will not say that I understand and agree with everything I hear but you know what facinating thing I did learn.  That just because someone is from America doesn't automatically mean that what they say, believe or promote is right.  And ironically I meet some of those people here that automatcically hate me because I am american.  When I first moved here that was so hard but now I understand. It is no different than the average person hating "muslims" because of Bin laden.\n\nI dont' know if I answered your questions or not. I may have understood it on a different level than you meant but what I got was that  Americans gave an inflated sense of country, that they are the best, almost like why can't everyone else see if they would just do what the americans want every thing would be ok lol.  It is because we were raised thinking that was true and until something happened in our lives to question that we didn't know.\n\nThe thing about God bless america, I have to say my husband and I joke all the time.  When I am on my high horse he will say ( again him being English) oh yeah, I forgot God blesses america and I respond, only when he isn't busy saving the Queen :)\n\nPeace\nChristina

To Wazzo2005: Muslim is not a race, it's a religion.  Before you lash out and call people names you should probably understand what you are talking about.\n\nI don't think that this is just a European-Muslim issue but rather a bigger issue around the world.  If any group migrates to a new country they need to show that country respect by assimilating and following their laws.  To do anything less is disrespectful and will breed resentment and eventually hate.  We see this here in America with the illegal Mexicans coming in and refusing to assimilate and follow the laws.\n\nI believe that a lot of this comes from jealousy.  It's not fair that one country is prosperous while another is in utter poverty but life isn't fair.  You reap what you sow.  Many Muslim countries (as well as Mexico) are so corrupt and inept and the people are forced to live in poverty.  With the big media they can see what they don't have and this breeds jealousy.  \n\nInstead of being thankful to their host country for sharing in their riches many falsely believe that their host country caused their pain and suffering back home and they want to take this away from them.  \n\nI believe that America will overcome this but I am skeptical of Europe.  Overall Europe is very liberal and willing to allow this to continue until blows up.  I hope for your sake that this doesn't happen.

yeah....he did. he heard the idhan(the call to prayer)for muslims. not sure if he became muslim or not. but i dont think he was taken out of books for that...that would be terrible if that happened to him. why wouldnt he still be considered an american hero? that seems a little extreme.

Good for you for sharing that...\n\nThe Mufti of Marseille quoted the same verses...\nHe was angered by the muslim community for demonstrating against the Cartoons \n\nHe said that especially Western Muslims, have benefited greatly from Free Speehc and Free Press...\n\nHe said that those manifestations where the proof that Muslims were week in their faith because they got offended for just a few cartoons of bad tastes. He also says that Criticism helps make one strong and look at himself.\n\nHe also added: That the current problem with Islam in the West and Arab countries is that there are more and more Imam that dont have enough spiritual knowledge of Islam and they are too focused on the political aspect of Islam... Such as the Imam of Danemark that provoked the whole situation...\n\nSo you are right to ask that questions.... But very very very few Muftis and Imams voice the spiritual view of Islam...Mr. Benchek. the Mufti of Marseille is a rare gem (With Balls I might say...).

Living in america u only get to hear one side of the story. the people over there r pissed off. what wud u do if some other country came into america n told u how to live ur life n run ur country? i am a muslim n lemme tell u, "terrorism" is not part of islam. islam literally means peace. the "terrorists" r a small group of idiots that believe they r true muslilms but all they do is give the rest of the muslims a very bad name. jus like the other guy that answered u was sayin how islamic countries do terrorise the world. this fool's obviously ignorant to the topic. just do some research goin bak to the late 70's early 80's. you'll see y osama bin laden is so pissed off at us... hope that helps... peace

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 think it's a very noble cause that you are wanting to undertake. Pray, my friend, and God will help you. I am not a Muslim but I respect Islam and I know it must hard for you being an American Muslim. I am so sorry for the way Muslims are treated in our country. It is not the American way. I think if you keep your faith strong and pray often that God or Allah will make it happen for you. God speed, friend. Tina, Houston, Texas

Yes it does prove that. Also the belief that god wanted american's to have the country span from coast to coast. The american mentality was they were doing the "barbarians" (Natives) a favour by converting them and taking over their land.
