Thank you for your interest in learin...Bint Melih,<br /><br />Thank you for your interest in learing about Islam. <br /><br />It seems to me that you have already known something about Islamophobia. I agree with your statement and I quote it:"It is quite natural to fear the unknown,or in this case,the unattainable."<br /><br />But,I ask: Does the fear of the unknown justifiy the sea of websites whose main function is preaching hatred towards Islam and bigotry against Muslims day-in,day-out,seven days a week,in the West,especially in the United States? <br /><br />I understand how the Islamophobia has taken control of the small and decadent mind to develop such extreme views against all Islam and all Muslims after the tragic events of 9/11/2001. If a small number of Muslim fanatic had done such horrible crimes,what justification there is to wage a campaign of terror and hatred toward all Islam and Muslims? <br /><br />Timothy McVeigh,a Christian American who was an Ex-Marine killed 169 innocent Americans,<br />including women and children,in his terrorist act in Oklahoma City in 1995. Can I justify to develop a hatred toward Christianity and bigoted hatred toward all Christians? Of course,NOT. The same NOT should be applied about Islam and Muslims. Unfortunately,that is NOT the case about Islam and Muslims. <br /><br />Double standard? Yes,iundeed.Sodiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822133278001399901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845393936426953757.post-69928594948294853452010-06-15T06:43:39.339-07:002010-06-15T06:43:39.339-07:00Elisa,

I will try to be as brief as I possibly can as long as I provide you with some correct knowledge in,unfortunately,a sea of hatred toward Islam and bigotry against Muslims,in the West. It will take me some times to prepare for each topic. I ask for your patience and to bear with me.Sodiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822133278001399901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845393936426953757.post-41696437647932501742010-06-12T18:54:49.560-07:002010-06-12T18:54:49.560-07:00Not a waste of time at all!

Although Islamophobia is very real, and often ruthlessly unjustified, it's sometimes difficult to gain a genuine sense of the nature of Islam since it is so tied to the Arabic language. Therefore it ceases to be truly accessible to the average non-Arabic speaker, and this in itself encourages the phobia behind Islam. It is quite natural to fear the unknown, or in this case, the unattainable.<br />Bint-Milehbint-milehnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845393936426953757.post-33048242945011714632010-06-11T14:31:41.509-07:002010-06-11T14:31:41.509-07:00As I have indicated before I am interested in lear...As I have indicated before I am interested in learning more about Islam, not an easy thing to do in our environment. Number 12 especially interests me. There would not be too much discussion as my knowledge about such matters is minimal. America and the Christian religion does not encourage this.<br />elisaelisalouisanoreply@blogger.com
