Ok I kind of get you. But never the less you shouldn't say that just because western countries show some Islamophobia, most Westerners would say that they aren't Islamophobic in the same way that most Muslims don't hate Westerners.

once again, we go into the issue of stereotypes.

if there is an instance of an american being intolerant, or a muslim being a terrorist, the people who hear of it will assume all americans/muslims are like that. but the truth is they don't really have enough information to make a non-judgemental analysis.

the problem that allows stereotypes to be so prevalent is organizations in the media and goverment take things out of context (even though they are better informed than the common person). why, you ask? maybe to spread goverment friendly propaganda that will influence us to rally for some reason or another. this was how america ralled to fight in iraq, afghanistan, and (maybe) in vietnam.

This is human nature that bad things catch more attention than a good thing.
most of the human beings look at negative aspects

I wouldn't say the reason for attacking Vietnam was government friendly propaganda, that was more the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan which was the same in my country. 7/7 and 9/11 happened made everyone want their own back and to make sure it never happened again. Vietnam was just America's war on communism.

You're right, many people who travel to other countries realise how friendly everyone is.
One of my friends even convinced some guy that people in England still travel by horse and carriage, which just shows how ignorant people are of other countries.

On the other hand a person comes to me and without reason starts caling me names


wait... i think i learned about that in kindergarden.... :3

i do know what you mean. weather its true is a different thing. its exactly not the same. im sure many muslims suffer from racism in america but they wont be murdered because of their racism. if an israel jew (doesnt have to be israeli) will just lay his foot in some of the arab countries he should wear an armor under his clothes.

A accuses B of theft.
jujdge will demand witness or proof or both.
If a witness is related to A his/her testimony will rendered inferior to the witness who is not his relative.
If A cannot provide either witness or proof case will b dissmissed.
If a witness is found committing purgery as per circumstances he can b lashed or blacklisted.



First of all, all legal systems work like that.

If you haven't actually gotten our point so far about why we are against Sharia Law this is it:

It infringes on basic human rights, is sexist, and is barbaric to a certain extent.

too many people think islam is too strict... but it was a way to prevent bad stuff from happening...look at this:
[/b]no drinking: jst think of all the bad stuff that come from getting wasted
wearing the hi-jab: look at a woman wearing the hi-jab and at another half naked woman. who would u rather have sex with?(to prevent sexual attraction)
no sex until u get married: to prevent all the ex-boyfriend problems
(but i dont really get how there supposed to love each other,figure that on your own)
there r many others, but u get the idei

Wearing the Hi-Jab: Now you're assuming all men are lustful in that way. A woman should be allowed to wear whatever she wants.

Ex-Boyfriend Problems: I fail to see how sex before marriage might lead to problems once one breaks up. As far as I know divorce is allowed under Islam, so if you're logic is that having ex-sex partners causes problems then why does divorce still go through for Muslims?

Human rights are a matter of debate.

It is not contentious on the point about it's equality; Islam treats both men and women differently.

In Islam man and woman are equal but have different roles.Being equal and treating equally are different things.
