As a Muslim women living in Egypt by choice I have to disagree with you dear sister. Not all Muslim countries are like you think. And what goes on here against women is not part of Islam. Sometimes for being in a Muslim country there is not much Islam.\n\nI love it there though and don't want to go back to the US, unfortunately do to paper work I have to. But I will not take off my veil to please others. I wore it in the states before I came to Egypt and will wear it when I go back. If they don't like it thats their problem. Your defending the freedom sis then why can't I wear the veil. \n\nI am not arguing with you sister, yes alot of SO CALLED Muslim countries have a lot of issues. But it's not Islam they are following.\n\nI do however agree that we should not pick at every little thing. I am the one to always let things go. I don't like to cause a scene when others are rude or ignorant to me. I leave them to be dealt with by God. But if I am cause harm I will go to the proper authorities and file a complaint. Or if I was refused service or was not helped I will file a complaint with management. Just because I am Muslim does not give them the right to do these things to me.\n\nIf the US and UK are going to preach freedom then why are so many trying to take it away from Muslims and Muslim women who choose to wear the veil. If they don't' like it then don't wear it.

My gut reaction was of course we should, but then to be honest, I'm tired of having to pussy foot around the religious sensibilities of others, I really believe that if someone cannot tolerate the tradition of free speech in this country then they really should not have come here. I am especially annoyed by those people that flee to Britain because they are persecuted in their own country then they try to force their own intolerant attitudes on us.

You mean like you and all your "questions" regarding religion.  You repeat and repeat the same stuff.  Most people aren't closed minded and stubborn ...I think they are just tired of hearing the same old stuff from you.

I can more than understand your frustrations with your fellow christians.  I get a tad frustrated with other atheists / agnostics when they jump down christians' throats.  But I am starting to just let it go and not get too heavily involved, if at all---there will always be a few christians and a few atheists/agnostics who will continue this eternal throat-jumping sport.  \n\nLet them.  I try hard not to listen (or read) to the christians proselytizing harshly anymore and I stop listening to the atheists/agnostics once they start name-calling or putting each other down.  I just don't listen and skip over the answers that involves name-calling, putting-down or proselytizing. \n\nSimple as that---stop reading, stop listening.  I just let others know that not all christians or atheists/agnostics are like that to those who are worried or wondering why, like you just did.  :-)   *hug*

Your request will be granted. You are not alone. Many people believe that Islam has been incorrectly portrayed and stereotyped. Even in America, there are many who support you. Do not feel alone.\n\nAmon kaj gxojon

Seems like common sense doesn't it? Some people just don't get it or don't WANT to get it. I just pray that I don't wake up someday only to find a new burqa laying on my bed.\n***Hawk, are you nuts? We have never been attacked by people who immigrated here? We opened our doors to 19 animals who killed 3,000 of our fellow citizens. We HAVE to be more careful about who we allow in. These zealots want to kill you and your children, parents, sisters etc.

Those people are utter scum. Islam is full of it. Notice how every time someone says that Islam is the religion of violence, they protest with violence and shout for beheadings - for been called violent. Now we'll be both labeled as ignorant because we don't bend over for Islam.\n\nThe fact that people can thumbs down you is disturbing. I'd give you thumbs up if I weren't a mere Level 1 user.\n\nNow the Extremely Annoyed Kitty

I think that everytime someone criticises islam there's always a barrage of outrage and people go on to make comparisons as a way of avoiding being thought of as offensive or not politically correct or racist.  We know these things go on and most of the world keeps quiet or turns the other cheek. Or if they dont fully understand it they resort to name calling.  Everytime something heinous happens in the west or involving another religion people are soon up in arms and demanding action or change. Whenever it involves muslim countries we're more or less told to butt out and are inundated with past histories and so on and so forth.  Instead of the here and now.  Where are the protestors against crimes such as these, they're quick enough for everything else.

I live in a medium sized city populated by 300000 ppl with a fraction of them Muslim. they have two major mosques around the corner from each other and a lot of the inhabitants around there are Muslims. you can hear the calls however they are not as loud as what you would hear in Islamic countries. i think there are some who don't like it but its about accepting to live with it in order to stay peaceful. I think there is also compromise between the communities. i haven't lived there for years now but i think they don't call for early morning prayers just the evening ones. \n\nIn a place like Jerusalem, Islam is joint major religion in the area so the calls will be made as other Islamic countries do. where you are a minority on one country you must accept their ways to a large extent. like the Muslim population here in the UK or America have to accept their hosts laws and culture and have to compromise on their own culture, likewise for westerners living in Islamic countries.\n\nJust out of curiosity, you seem to be a Hindu. Are you visiting or recently moved there, or have you been there for a while? I've never heard of Hindu's living there apart from passing through the country.

I feel like people are always judging me.  Most of the people don't understand Islam, or they hate it, because they don't know anything about it exept lies that they hear from friends and family, well some do understand Islam, and are not told lies, but that's a very few of them.  Most people can't even tell where i'm from, and they can't tell my religion until I tell them, and when I do they're just like "ohhhh, cool", but a few days later they act differently around me, and ask me many questions about Islam, which is great, but when I answer them, they always ask why?, what's allah, why don't you belive in God and instead believe in allah????  Most people just don't understand it,and just like to judge Islam, by what happend on 9-11, and I had one person even ask me if Bin Ladin was my cousin...which is pretty funny because it's such a dumb question.  I  just think that there are a few conflicts, but I didn't have that many problems with being Muslim in the US.\n\nWhat about you?

They aren't being insulted; you're just trying to attract people who have a persecution complex.  What do you want recruits for, to blow people up?  Too chicken-hearted to do it yourself?  Do you tell your new "converts" that they'll be sentenced to DEATH if they ever decide to leave Islam and choose a different religion?

I didn't realize everyone has been talking a bout Muslim here. Can you tell me more a bout what they  are saying? I'm not Muslim, but I have some Muslim relatives, they are perfectly nice, normal people. Some are embarrassed that their religion has been so negatively in the news lately. What do you think?

This is a good question.\n\nI find that anytime people get all up in thier heads about why we are here,we get things like jihad and crusades and ethnic cleansing.\n\nSo I must say I agree,..we have.

Oh please I'm really tired of this shit, Muslim are human, if they where insulted big they should be very angry, if their land is being occupied they should fight to liberate it, why don't you see what the American s are doing and saying and say where's the moderate Americans, why should we be the ones who stay week and taking it all the time\n\nComment on new posts >>\n\nYou people just don't listen, you just wann be trapped on your own media propaganda without thinking it over, we are simply humans, if you occupied our country then we'll fight you, if you keep bombing us and refuse to reason, then some people will turn to violence as the only way left, it's as simple as that, if you still don't understand, then there's something seriously wrong with you!!
