Why Muslims are targeted all over the world?

Hi Gordano, I honestly don't know. I live in the US and the area where I live...well, this is never ever a topic of conversation . We have all sorts of religions here and no one seems to bother anyone over their choices in these things. As long as no one is bothering anyone else or infringing on someone else's rights then I can't imagine what the problem would be. Everyone is entitled to their own religion and their own beliefs. I have heard that in NY city, the Muslims gather in the streets to pray and block traffic and that is a problem. I can understand their upset over that. It really isn't anything to do with their religion but the fact that they hold up traffic and block traffic. In my opinion, that is wrong. That is violating the rights of others to use the public streets. http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2011/12/07/muslim-cab-drivers-ignore-parking-laws-block-nyc-streets-for-prayers/ http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/m/Muslim-Day-NYC.htm

In a smaller scale, its like mylotters who do not understand fully about Islam and choose to trash Islam. I always wonder about that. What has Islam done to them? Maybe with regard to your link, fasting brings heaithy gatherings between muslims and that what worries them. I know that that is what worries my non muslim government. In 'counter attack' the muslim bodies here organise plenty of gatherings which include non muslim to eat also. It looks like a good plan. But my country is small so everything is easier.

I don't think it's a case of Muslims being targeted all over the world. I'd say it's more a case of world governments trying to dictate everything to everybody. Here in the UK, there are all sorts of "healthy living" campaigns. Apparently, three good meals a day and plenty of juice isn't healthy any more! I can kind of understand the concerns around fasting but, as far as I know, the rules for Ramadan include exceptions for the elderly, unwell, very young children and pregnant women so anyone who does fast during Ramadan has chosen to do so and is healthy enough to manage. (I assume you can drink water though). It shouldn't be dictated by government. It's a religious choice (or a religious obligation) which has been going on for centuries. It's not like it affects anyone else and how would government police such a thing? Are they going to send someone round to every Muslim household and force-feed them during Ramadan?!

I think it's because of the highly not tolerant human nature: if people see someone is not the same as the rest, they will oppress and kick that person around until he/she complies to what the majority does/thinks. I think that happens all over the world to religious minorities. I don't think Muslims are necessarily the main religious target. Concern over Muslims has, no doubt, increased since the 9/11 and other terrorist attacks, and other people consider Muslims as aggressive by the very nature of their religion, even if that is not the case - let's not forget the atrocities committed "in the name of the Cross" during the centuries (the crusades, the slaughter of South-American natives, and so on).

At first look, your question seems incorrect. Muslims are not targeted in all of the Muslin dominated countries. It would be the Christians or other religion would be targeted instead. In our country, both Muslims and Christians lived together in harmony. Though there are difference in religion, we had learned to respect each others faith.

Of course Muslims has the right to pray and fast like anyone else, but we are stranger in this world . reply to your second question : yes , Islam and Muslims are targeted , look in the world in Syria , Burma , India,Philippines , China etc...

I personally do not think that muslims are targeted all over the world. That is the rule of the Chinese government and one should adhere to it. In Saudi Arabia, the government has strictly passed a rule that any non-muslim if found eating during the Ramadan time will be chucked out of the country. Does it mean that Non-Muslims are targeted? It depends on the rules and regulations of a country and one should adhere to it.

thats unfair..how come they are silent when there are violence to moslem?? don`t you see that there are violence in Burma and UN is silent...where is UN voice when there are mass murdered by Burma govenment?? more than 50 innocent people are killed by arranged murdered by the country..where is UN?? it is weird when the government want to change the rule of Ramadhan? who are them, can make change our fasting rule in Ramadhan?/
