Islam and Negative Reactions

it is all the media and government corruption to brainwash morons in society to think in a certain way.

People are not responding negative to Islam, but to what this religion is associated with - terror and lack of tolerance for others (holy war). Among Christians there are fanatics that are dangerous people. Wherever there is a religion, there are fanatics who give it a bad name. Islam and Christianity (I'm talking about it because I'm Christian) are sister religions and are peaceful ones. If fanatics don't use religion (twist it, and make it something it's not) to manipulate people, they will not be able to get even a single person on their side. This is why sometimes we associate the religion with the bad things that are happening, rather then seeing it's the fanatics to blame.

hello! are you a muslim? anyway... i know some muslims too and my mom too.. she speaks highly of these people who does live a life taught by islam, their religion. they are good people. i know a muslim too, he is a wonderful person and i asked him things about the religion... he teaches me some and well, he told me i should not generalize, a mistake of one is not a mistake or a sin of all. God Bless you. :)

because they are ignorant about Islam, they are just influenced by the anti-islam propaganda.

Like another religion, i know that Islam also provides good way of life, teachings of love, respect to other mankind etc. But there are some techings in Islam that makes people have negative reactions to this religions. for example, killing another people to defend the religion. and also having another wives is okay, etc.I believe that some believers of Islam that we should give the negative reactions to.

That is a good question. I really don't know. I have had to study Islam in a religion class that I took for my associate's degree and I learned that most of the bad rap that Islam gets today is because of many of the extremist leaders of Islam today and in the last century. Some of the ideas that were touted by Islam are not actually a part of the religion as stated in the Quran.

The main reason Islam gets a negitive veiw is becouse of the few exstremest who beleive allah wants them to kill everyone who does not submit to Islam. But I am sure that in the thirteenth century Muslems felt the same way about Christianity when the Church of Rome decided to tourcher and kill Jews Muslems and anyone else who did not submit to the Church. The truth is many in power rule by fear and use religion to get the population behind them. A few people invoking the name of God and fear can incite large groups of people to suport their efforts. Adolf Hitler used these technics by rasing nationalism to religious statis and the Nazi party as almost a reliogion. And useing fear by midnight round ups and and eicuting any who oppsed him he was able to controle the population. 30 years ago many people had the same reaction when Irish Catholics were mentioned with visions of the IRA car bombings in Balfast. Today a few in Islam wish to control the masses with fear and intemidationand invoke the name of Allah to reconcile their hate and intolorence. And most people now fear anyone assosiated with Islam thinking that all Muslams want to kill Christians, Jews and anyone else who wont convert to Islam. I have met some very kind Muslems, who respect my faith, and only want to live their lives in peace with all. I don't know if they are the majority, but I do take comfort that their is some who share the idea that people of differnt faiths can live side by side in peace.
