callme.nasty said:ottoman, i don't think we are explaining it correctly. people don't hate muslims because of the muslim religion. people just tend to associate muslims with middle easterners because to my knowledge, many middle easterners follow some form of the muslim religion, and those are the people we hate. if you don't like that, then too bad. we're at a war in the middle east, we're not going to like those people. its all ignorance really. people hate muslims by association, not because of their religion.
oh, and people find it strange that muslims make their women wear all that clothing. its the 21st century and many americans find it strange.
wiicanchangetheworld said:"There is only 1 God and Mohammed is his prophet."....But Jesus is a prophet, a minor one, but it says there is only one prophet.
ottoman said:If you actually knew anything about Islam, you would realise all that clothing has NOTHING to do with being a Muslim. It is a cultural clothing, that alot of women Choose to wear in themiddle east, the Qur'an does not ask them to wear this, and it is not a part of Isam, only a part of culture in that area.

Misrepresentation of minority groups by the media and stuff. Actually got a B on on an essay I wrote about it.
I don't like the way that all Muslims are seen as terrorists. It shouldn't happen, it's not true and I think that people should know that.
Edit: And to what's been discussed above, people think that Muslim women are FORCED to cover up and that, which isn't true. It's usually their choice to do so.
And I like your threads ottoman Their always interesting :thumbsup:
Kebabs, Chinese food, Italian food, Indian and Bangladeshi Curries. Hell, we wouldnt even have Krispy Kremes if it werent for those "Dirty" immigrants.

Most of the renowned scientists, inventors, etc. that were in Europe/America (that I know of) lived in Europe and/or America....I know there were/are many brilliant people outside of those two continents, but I don't think they moved in illegally before they came up with these brilliant ideas.Napalmbrain said:Immigrants created the Britain we know today- we wouldn't have the science and technology we do today if it were not for immigration.
To get technical, it came from the Romans. Anyways, I agree with your other statement. Illegal immigration isn't helping our countr(ies)y, but the general public today stereo-types middle-eastern people as suicidal gun maniacs who love killings people (especially Americans!); this is not the case.Napalmbrain said:Heck, even the English language didn't originate in Britain (it came from what is now Germany). Of course illegal immigration isn't helping the country, but the xenophobic media is blowing the issue way over the top. Read some crappy newspaper like the Sun and you'd think immigrants are secretly running the country! (You couldn't make it up, etc. :lol
Lol, I have met these people....they're very different. Can you tell me how they are so close to us?Napalmbrain said:I suggest some of you should go out and actually meet these immigrants, I think you'll find they're not so different from us.
