Why is everyong against islam??

Because Islam is a root cause of a lot of suffering. You can deny it all you want but you are just fooling yourself. Name anything good that has come from believing in Islam. Anything? I can not think of one thing. But i can sure name a lot of bad things...

Because the terrorist are the ones who actually follow it, while the muslims who pick and choose what they follow are the ones who dont cause problems. Also the whole "kill anyone who likes jesus!"

I know very little about Islam, but even I know enough to know that you are completely wrong. :|

Who is "everyone"? I have no problem with individuals practicing Islamic beliefs

again ignorance is obviously even here at gs. muslims believe in jesus his name is issa but hes a prophet of god not his son.

[QUOTE="BumFluff122"]They are against the Shiites for their beliefs and against those people of the Islamic nation that allow their women to wear normal updated clothing etc... On top of that they are against any countries government that has any control whatsoever inside of 'their territory' and will kidnap and kill anyone and everyone to achieve their goals. I would call that against everyone.

u got the first part all rong, sunni and shiite are two parts of islam just like roman catholic or protestant. sunni and shiite obviously dont get along because of beliefs but the differences are so minor that even here in dearborn which is the highest percent population of middle easterners in the us, go to the same mosque.

my bad i misunderstood u when u say "they" are against shiites i thougth u meant muslims in general not sunnis.

Why are all americans against communism when no country has ever really practiced it?

because of fear mongers...

anyways.. I'm not against islam so you can't say everyone.

Well im against islam as much as any religion, i dont mind people practising it just dont expect me to give you much of a head start when it comes to respecting you.

Personally i think Islam is doing the same thing that Christianity did in the middle ages which was to holt progression in most of the areas its in. Lets face it you dont see many inventions or technological progression comming from places like the middle east, i may be wrong but thats the way i see it at the moment.

Wolls

read this link it shows a lot

http://www.islamic-study.org/islam's-influence-on-the-world.htm

Because many of the arab nations (and terroristss)misinterpreted what islam is about, peace. Then that leads to thinking the religion is bad because many bad things have been related to that religion, like Cat Stevens quitting or 9/11

(i'm atheist btw)

If you are Christian than the amount irony in this post should make you question YOUR beliefs. You do know that many Nazi's, Neo-Nazis, Bigots, Racists, and people who hate Homosexuals support/practice Christianity right? Lets also not forget the crusades, witch hunts, ect. Just think for a second all the people that died because of Christianity. :| Don't you find it just slightly ironic and ignorant to say that Islam is the root of a lot of suffering?

Islam being one of the greatest threats to freedom might have something to do with it.

People are against Islam because it's not a "normal" religion, like Judaism or Christianity.

Sharia law.

A law system? Oh noes, there goes my freedom.

Maybe part of the reason why so many people are against islam is for the fact that they believe that islam is against THEM, and their faith. Another reason why many people in the western world are against islam is the fear that muslims are terrorists, even though a very,very tiny percentage of muslims are radicals. A majority of muslims in the middle east also have a "medieval" mindset dating back to the crusades, where they believed christians are the enemy. This is not true for all muslims though.

[QUOTE="Arifriekinel"]All law impedes freedom. That's what it is there for. -Ari-freakin-elmichaelP4

Correct. The core issue is that Islam has never reconciled its relationship with the state. Instead, Islam is the state for most of the world's muslims. And this places Islam in direct conflict with most of the rest of the world.

Until Islam has the equivalent of its own Glorious Revolution that lays the foundation for separation of church and state, it cannot and will not be accepted as an equal by much of the world. Sharia law in any guise is simply unacceptable to the west and directly antithetical to our core values. The problem is not Islam per se, but the fact that most of its adherents live in near feudal like religious/legal systems.

The terrorists give other Muslims a bad name; the sad part is, a lot of people aren't smart enough to figure out that their actions don't speak for the majority.

From an American's point of view most of it is the media. But some blame must be put on those who have committed terrible acts of violence, and used Islam as a "shield/battle cry". My only complaint with Islam is I wish more leaders or heads of state would fully denounce those people who do these acts, and aggressively peruse them. Of course many religions "sweep problems under the rug", so it's not just Islam. That all said, I have two close friends that are Muslim, and I have a great deal of respect for Islam and the Quran.
