is it difficult to be a muslim in this world today

No, not every Muslim is a terrorist, but so far all foreign terrorist have been Muslim. True, they have been radical Muslims, but Muslims still. Is it hard to be a Muslim? Yes, I imagine it is. Just as it was hard to be a Japanese in America after Pearl Harbor. Being looked at, being watched, being detained in Guantanamo for no apparent reason for the last five years. Yes, it is very hard to be a Muslim in today's world.

Certainly not all muslims are terrorists, but the sad fact is that almost all terrorists are muslims. The fact that muslim leaders stand idly by without publically condemning those radicals in their midst is creating an atmosphere of suspicion and fear in communities around the world. I've even been told by masoud on this forum that the Koran is not open to interpretation; that there is only one interpretation. If that is true, then how can the radical islamists be interpreting it so differently from the reasonable, peaceful muslims? Also, if that's true then there is no difference between the terrorists who claim it is their holy duty to kill non believers and those who simply remain quiet.

i have been a muslims for 23 years now, and i dont see this so called "difficulties", i have my rights like all other human being in this earth

So if the world start security checks ,investigations etd.. u say it is difficult to be muslim...NO Man ur absoulutely worng...If the same happens with other caste then u say the same things... Ppl are always suspicious may be they turn on to ur caste and then will say tht...

no i do not think so.it all depends on ur attitude

I find it very hard to be a muslim in a society that is being taught through media that muslims are terrorists. I am white so for me I am not easy to indentify in public but my fiance gets called Osama in stores all the time, it is embarrassing but Allah will get us through this. There are muslim extremeists however ever religion, especially Christianity has Extreme people as well,unfortunaly Islam seems to be an easy topic for the media, face it it's all about getting ratings.

no man you are wrong now it is very difficulut to keep yourself alive if you are not muslims. because these people are bloweing up everything which is not according to islam.

No, but it should be. I have zero respect for muslims. Especially after personally sitting down with many of them and talking to them one on one. I don't care how many people try to portray it as a religion of peace. That is laughable. Sit and talk with one for a few hours and see for yourself.

Not all muslim are terrorists but there are terrorists who claim that they are doing what they do for Islam. Those terrorists give Islam and fellow Muslims a bad name. It's hard to be religious nowadays, people are fighting on which Religion is better and sometimes they resort to war to prove themselves.

You have to admit that logically the best place to start looking for terrorist attacks has to be at the Muslim population. There is just no other real population to look at. Of course everyone is capable and not all Muslims are terrorists. It is just much more likely that a terrorist will be muslim rather than not.

come on guys some of the replies by non muslims are just pathetic...being a Muslim i would also say that for a Muslim it has never been difficult to be a Muslim whether it was yesterday today or it will be tomorrow, a true muslim fears his God only and believe in God's help in any circumstances...why dont u ask this same question to thousands of people (non muslims) of every relegion converting to islam everyday...it is the only relegion that gives you the lesson of peace, tells you about the equality between men and women,rich and poor. let me give you an example : have u ever been to a Mosque? if not then just chk it out there's no division of rich and poor,a common citizen and a famous leader...all are standin in a same line with their heads bend! None of the muslim would ever say anything pathetic about the other relegion as taught to us by islam...but the non muslims are always so keen to throw dust on our relegion...i just pray to God to show u the right path...everyone will just come across the reality with time.!

I dont thing its is difficult in being a muslim in this world coz islam is the best religion and muslims are the best peoples in this world so, be proub to be a muslim.

i dont think we can blame every muslim as a terrorist but for their ill fate i think muslims are themselves to blame for it. recently we saw sadddam being tagged as a martyr. i dont think he is a martyr he killed his own muslim brothers. and still there are many muslims not all who say that saddam was a hero for muslims.

BEING A MUSLIM IS NOT A CRIME .... WE PEOPLES ARE LIVING VERY WELL HERE IN INDIA AND WE ARE PROUD TO BE IN INDIA FOR THAT PARTICULAR REASON..... SOME MUSLIMS HAVE TAKEN WRONG STEPS AND DECISIONS FOR THEIR CAREER BUT TELL ME ONE RELIGION WHO SAYS THAT WE DONT HAVE TERRORISTS IN OUR RELIGION.....EVERY TERRORIST A MUSLIM HUH... YOU MUST BE JOKING

i do think so

no not every muslim is a terrorist ! if they were terrorist then world would have been a worst place to live in .....

Well i dont think so...i m still living freely as a muslim

I do'nt think so.There r many muslim country n muslim celeb. who may b good ex.

too much discrimination!!

I am really agree with u but friend now we people come forward and condem terrorism in one voice rather protecting them
