Muslims or Arabic people, how do you feel?

All Arabs are not Muslims. Technically Israel is also in Arabia. \nA letter from Iraq recently told ..."they are putting Saddam on trial for killing about 242 Kurds, the daily death toll of Iraqis and other coalition personnel in the past years have arisen and thousands are being killed. I also wonder when the weapons of mass destruction were not found, what moral authority US president had to declare war on Iraqi people? Is this about terrorism by Americans to monopolies oil and gas rich Arab countries? Who will account for the thousands of innocent deaths when US planes 'carpet bombed' the Iraqis knowing that even their favorite target, Laden is not hiding there..." \nIts questions like this which are haunting the people in Iraq, and there are Christians as well in Arabia. Like anywhere else.

I have known several arabs, and have not hated any. There were some that I did not like, but it was because of their personality not because they were arab.\n\nI think most of what you may be experiencing is just prejudice. People probably think that because you are arab you must be or have some ties to terrorists.

I think they are nice people who respect God what ever our religious difference is. I also think most of the Arab world is religious and willing to make sacrifices for their beliefs. That is an admirable thing until it turns to violence. I think there are very few Arabs out there that give most of the Arab population a bad image. The Arabs I had a pleasure of acquainting with in my lifetime are open minded, respectful and simple happy people. I think they should work hard to get ride of the fundamentalists. As some one mentioned before they also had a lot in the contribution of technology by their based creations of alpha bets, mathematics and many more.

i thoroughly agree with you on this one..i'm a Muslim myself and i must say, i feel really ashamed of how SOME partions of the Muslims react to the criticises we get..\nthat's not what Islam taught us!! criticism has become something normal in the world today..i know its not only the Muslims that get it..infact, every single religion are being critisized.\ni know its not right how the Muslims in some part of the world are reacting and i not only feel sorry for the victims of their actions, but i also feel sorry for them themselves..!!\ni've no idea what they've been exposed to all these while..coz like you said, the Islam we knew before wasn't like this..!!!\nto tell you the truth, i was only aware of these problems when i was 12 or so..why? coz i'm living in an Islamic country too, but we've never experienced such doings here! i'm from Malaysia and its a truly multi-racial country..\nwe've got the Malays, Chinese, Indians, Ibans, Kadazans, a small partion of Sikhs even..and with it ofcourse we live around so many different beliefs, 4 main religions practised here are mainly Islam, Christian, Buddha and Hindu.\ni guess what i'm saying here is that everything starts with our way of life, our environment, the people around us and what we're exposed to!~\nit all starts from education!~\nfrom there we learn to respect and with respect love is born!~\n\ni really don't know what my answers have to do with your question here..i'm sorry if you felt i've wasted your time or anything like that..just expressing my point of view..!~\n\nGood Luck to the world!!~\n\n^_^

I feel the more appropriate question would be.....\n"Do you hate the True Islam or the True muslims?"\n\nThe reason I am saying this is because not many people know this. They think all muslims are the same, unfortunately, you have those muslims who have not understoon the concept of their religion and are just fanatics.\n\nIslam and muslims have been truely misconceptioned in the media. The muslims know it- but the non muslims dont and need to know more about the religion. (Not just by browsing through the  net or listening to the media, but by asking true good muslims and scholars about Islam)\n\nHow would you feel if someone told you that Osama bin laden was a christian or a jew or even a hindu????\nOr the crusades and holocaust was good????\n\nThats how muslims feel when you say OSama bin laden is a muslim... his claim to be a muslim is false or invalid, because he acts nothing like a muslim.

I am a Muslim...because i follow Isa/Jesus...\n\nQuran 2:136\nSay (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham...and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.\n\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/bibletruths_forbelievers/

I have no opinions of them as a "whole group". Each person should be judged individually.  I have an Egyptian friend, he's even a Muslim, but I judge him on the person he is and nothing else.

This is a personal question, looking for your personal answer/opinion.  Think about it for a minute.  How does it make you feel to hear about the bombing?  Do you feel upset, sad, guilty, angry?  Does it make you think about life any differently?  If so, how?  That's the kind of answer you need to provide for this question.

I think of Allah all the time. When I receive a blessing, I thank Him. When I am going through hardship, I ask for His support. When I am afraid to fail a test or fail myself, I stick to Him even more. When I am alone and feel lonely, I sit in the balcony, close my eyes and feel the breeze kissing my skin and I know this is Allah in my company. I realize that I am not alone and, at this moment, I can't help smiling and loving Him more.

I am Muslim woman, I wear the hair veil (Hijab) and read Quran regularly, I completed my university study and then got a work which needs to travel from time to time, so I do not feel that I am dominated by any body. Well I have to tell my parents where I am going to get them feel that I am good and not going to danger places. And when I will marry, I think there is no problem to share my husband about my plans and to consider his point of view when I make up a decision and he do the same thing.\nLife is sharing, this what Islam says, but some men act as dominant and tell their doughters and wives what to do and what to not do... This is their way of life but not what Allah says for them to do.\nFinally, YES I am happy and I feel so comfortable to be Muslim.

I am not Muslim.\n\nBut yes I do.\n\nAnd here's why-\n\nI've heard about Islamic extremists all of my life.I barely remember listening to the news as a kid about the trouble in Beirut.Then the World trade center(I could see the smoke as I grew up 25 miles north of NYC),then the USS Cole and the embassies,then 9/11.\n\nI've been in Iraq for almost two years.I listen to prayer calls daily.I've read and asked people about Islam.I've seen Arabs praying in private and out in the open.\n\nBefore all of this I would have told you all Muslims are terrorist.After my learning experience of learning about the religion,it's values,and what it was founded upon,I can tell you only a fraction of Muslims act like terrorist.\n\nMy experience with Muslims has been positive.They are nice people,with strong beliefs like any other religion.\n\nI chose to educate myself about Islam.I am glad I did.I'm also glad to be on Answers because I've met some wonderful Muslims that I trade e-mails with.
