People in the United States are free to convert to Islam if they so wish. Many have.  Or not if they don't.  Thats the point of freedom of religion.

First of all - there's a difference between nationality and religion. Two diferent things. You *cant* generalise that a particular race/nationality/religion behaves a certain way just because of the actions of a particular group e.g terrorists. It's just bizarre to say that people from a geographic region (which is what the Middle East is) are untrustworthy. That's as ridiculous as saying  all Americans are racist or all Europeans are snobs. (Btw, Iranians are Persians, not Arabs - Persians have a completely different culture language history etc). \n \n9/11 is a complicated issue that makes it all the more easy for each of us to compartmentalise other people into little groups and try to give them labels. No wonder politicians use fear, creating the "us" against "them" mentality, when in reality there isn't such a thing. The reason the so-called war on terror is such a dismal failure is because the US is trying to fight an invisible enemy -upon realising that was impossible, they decide to attack Iraq, a solid target that actually had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks.  \n\nThe best people can do is to educate themselves - read more, surf foreign news sites to get different perspectives (e.g BBC, Le Monde, The Independant etc.), make the effort to mix with people who are different from yourselvf, ask questions and learn more. Then you'll come to the conclusion that there are good people in this world and bad people - and neither is determind by what country you come from or what faith you practise.

Many of the people who came to America from Europe in the 1700-1800's were people seeking religios freedom that they didn't have in Europe at that time. Much of that religios ferver has been passes through the years to the current Americans.

I agree that there is a problem. Their agenda is to make everyone in the whole world follow Islam by choice, by force or they must face death.\nPeople would rather stick their heads in the sand and deny the problem than admit that there is a problem, however, to destroy another person or another religion means that you are no better than they.\nThere are Muslim men in North America who are trying to get a law passed so that they will have the right to kill their wife or their children if they do something that displeases them.

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

Islam itself is an aggressive religion. It feeds on anger and percieved injustice. The only thing it has any respect for is strength. That is why we need to support our President and show Islam that American has some real teeth and we will smoke you if you mess with us.

Erm, maybe re-phrase this question.\n\nIf its why do Europeans & Americans Hate Islam and Muslims then you may be reading too many negative articles in newspapers.\n\nYou seriously need to re-phrase the question though!

Any person who declares their faith in Islam these days needs to know they won't be the most popular kid on the block. The tragedy of September 11th, is something that will never be forgotten and unfortuneately it's perpetrators were Arabs. No matter how vehemently any Muslim would seek to explain the differences between true Islam and Arab nationalism, it simply won't wash with your average American. It's all the same in just about everyone's eyes. So whomever is truly seeking to become a muslim nowadays better know, He or she is surely going to be tested for their faith.

We should be very careful when be blame Islam or christianty or judiasm or any religion for violence. for that matter any group of people for the ations of a few. \n\nIslam does not preach violence, as the Americans do not preach prisoner abuse (abu dhuraib). for a muslim to hate all americans for what happened in abu ghuraib, for east asian to hate americans for what the US did in vietnam, south americans to hate americans for what the US did in niguaragua... and so on would not make sence. some nice man in chicago didnt do that, neither did some lady in texas.\n\nand same goes for Muslims, 1.4 billion muslims did not destroy the WTC. and if you read up on Islam you will realize, those who did, arent following Islam.\n\nwhat we do need to look at is what makes people go to such exteremes, why are induviduals and governments willing to go to such inhuman extents, something is deffinatly not right.

Im betting more Mosques have Weapons than what we know of since there are at least 7 brands of Islam and a lot of Muslims think that Violence against a Non-Muslim is ok.\n\nNot to mention a lot of Muslims have absolutely no regard for the laws of America, Australia and Europe.

Probably because people dont understand it. It could also be due to the things you hear about terrorism and Iraq. A few should not be determined as the whole of something. \n\nIf people take the time to truly understand Islam, the hatred would subside. But until then people will continue to fear the unknown, that is true for most things.

That's too general a question.  I never gave it much thought until 9/11 because it just isn't a part  of my world at all, there are very few muslims where I live and they are no different than anyone else around.  Then the terrorism was brought to our attention and all we heard was "Muslim extremist", so all over the news, and in government paid commericals on TV we heard over and over that this isn't reflective of Muslims in general, that Islam is based on peace, etc. etc.  At the same time we also hear that Muslims are being trained from birth to hate Americans.  It's a mixed signal, as far as my own opinion I don't have a problem with it.  People are people no matter what their religion and I don't hate any of them.  But I wonder what is really happening with the future.  While the US government is very careful about telling us that nothing is to be blamed on Muslims, other governments are training their kids to hate and our kids no that.  So another upcoming generation is being trained to hate each other.\n\nIt would help a lot to get the world together on their ways, and open up knowledge rather than preach love and hate.  If people know each other as people it doesn't really matter what religion they are, they should be free to follow whichever they choose with no one hating them for it.

Not everyone is so afraid of everything as Americans are. American society hasn't moved on from Salem and 16th century mentality. They even have the death penalty!!! Like some Sahel, Arab and Asian nations. Who wants to live in the USA?? Not me, certainly.
