I really wonder if I am. You see, I went to church last week and we were talking about devotion to God and I guess other religions. What kind of upset me was that they started using terrorist attacks as examples of devotion to God by Muslims. Then they mentioned a pastor who was in a Muslim country and they wanted to pray the Muslims were converted to Christianity. They mentioned Muslims about twenty times with negative connotations and one other religious group, maybe three times.
Was I over reacting when I got upset?
I know for a fact that they themselves don't know much about it either.
I personally don't know a lot about Islam yet, and I'd really like to hear your personal
beliefs and etc.

Well, I really hate it when people say that in places they think are holy, so yea I think that if a person being in a holy place talking bad about other religions illogically, just proves them wrong at the first place.

Oh yeah I forgot all about this topic. The reason why I think that the people at your church said this was because they themselves don't even know about Islam. Most Christians have never read the Quran and therefore they get their information ( which is negitive of course) from the media. But know you were not over reacting, I would get upset too because they are talking about your religion. Do they know that you have converted?

HuNNie _ aPPLe
It's all about who is controlling the media.

The media is the best medium for propaganda. People who are against Islam likes to say bad things about Islam. I am also not quite sure why they are against us that much. Why are we so big of a threat to them?

Opposing us 20 times? Why opposing Islam 20 times n some other group only 3 times? and again, Why are we so big of a threat to them?

This is because they are trying to keep you in this circle. And they are trying to build up the border of the circle by saying all those bullshit. If all their sayings works, the border is going to be thicker , thick with hatred.

We muslims are also not sure that all those terrorist stuff are done by muslims. It could be non-muslims, but use our name so that others will look down on this religion.

We are not terrorist. Allah forbids us to go to war unless the enemy threaten us. If we were to go to war, IT IS for Allah. we call it Jihad. And there is many foms of Jihad , Jihad is a big topic. Islam is a big topic.

Islam is the COMPLETE guide to live your life to the fullest, and the complete guide to get yourself to heaven.

If you want my opinion, the regime zionis are the real terrorist. Tho i am not saying that all jews are terrorist, because there are other jews who oppose the regime's actions.

If you have converted, then, alhamdulillah. But if you If you are still "searching" for hidayah, then, you must start somewhere. Look for the prove.

Um.. haven't converted to Islam. sweatdrop ..I'm still Christian, however I'm trying gain a better understanding of Islam and my own religion and it bothers me when people attack other religions. Mainly Christianity and Islam. People attack Islam based off of what they get from the media and people will attack Christianity because a lot of Christians act very...UnChristian. confused

Hi, you're absolutly right. People shouldn't talk about something they know nothing about. If you could get to know the real Islam you would be shocked. The media makes us muslims look like stupid terrorists. It's not fair, but the world will know the truth one day....

I agree with the last comment. Do not talk about anything you are unfamiliar with. However, you have to remember, the terrorists ARE inspired by Islam, the protests that happened in Iran were inspired by Islam and those that fought the protests in Iran were inspired by Islam. The moment we take religion to be one monolithic thing is the moment prejudices get ahold of us. It was only a slight overreaction.

I say this to all the brothers and sisters here who are Muslim. If you do not want to be seen as radical, violent people, stop perpetuating the stereotype. Get up and do something about it. Get informed about your religion and become active. I encourage all young people, regardless of religion or race, to do this because it will only mean a better future for your respective religion.

Do you really think the world is fair? While life may not be fair, it certainly is just. Every action has a consequence, and I think many people (regardless of religion) have forgotten that. If you don't want to keep perpetuating the stereotype, do as I said before: do something about it.

pax vobiscum,
Lysander

I converted FROM Christianity and all they have to say is bad things about Muslims.

Have you ever seen the 700 Club? They bash Muslims at least once a night.
Then again, all Christianity cares about are status quos.
