why everybody speaks about Muslims?
i wish one day to wake up and read something about Jews or Buddhists
DEar Anonymously,
Everybody speaks about Muslims because Islam is the fastest growing religion, and most of those speaking about Muslims know the least about them ( and Islam).
Now is the time for you Mr/Mrs/MS Anonymously to find out YOURSELF about Muslims.
I have an idea; why don't YOU go to your nearest Mosque and find out what the fuss is all about?
I'm not 'anonymously' my name is Abdulrahim Bin Abdullah, a revert of over 30 years.
why everybody speaks about Muslims?
There's something about chopping the heads off schoolgirls and all sorts of other atrocities in the name of your religion that gets peoples attention. Really now, muslims don't need to be that dramatic. Throwing girls off balconies or throwing acid in faces is sufficient to create the same impression.
Try treating people with respect and common decency and you might see a change after a long while (but be patient -it will take some time to overcome the extremely bad reputation islam has been working do hard to build).
Until then, islam deserves every bit of condemnation that comes its way.
Good intentioned but extremely naive wishful thinkers gave muslims a chance for a better life in in Europe. What a huge mistake that has turned out to be.
