There are many muslims I know who are just as nice, friendly, and well-minded as the rest of us, but it is the results of a few (individuals/groups of people) that is causing a stereotypical "WAR" here. Not all muslims are bad - on the contrary, most muslims are not bad people. The world has been "educated" in the sense that it is OK to stereotype groups of people if it goes against their belief system. People can deny this all they want, but it is true. I am a Christian and have been treated very poorly sometimes, because of what other people who claim to be Christian do. I get subbed into this category of "you're Christian then you are like him or her" and have been mocked, blamed, cursed at, etc. at the expense of a stereotype.

that had to be the most well thought out post in this thread, props to you bud. As for you "Corriewf ", I don't think that you have the slightest idea of what you are talking about. Sadly it is people like you and the media that have made it look like that all/"most" muslims are at war and violence. Clearly, you haven't lived outside of whatever country you are from, and clearly, you have not experienced or bothered to learn about different cultures and religions. I could say that the "most" muslims that you are talking about don't even make up the 1/3 of the whole muslim population.

Getting back to the subject, all these stereotypes made the that Denmarkish publishing company, publish a picture of muhammad, which like stated by someone here before, it is forbidden to do in their religion, but that company didn't care cause they had the same stereotypical views about muslims.

I'm not saying that they are perfect, but nobody else is, and saying that most/all muslims are like that just angers me cause that is not even close to the fact.

It's just ridiculious how some of us suddenlly turn against a nationality or a religion because of false media coverages and false info that we are given, because of wars that get started between a small group and that small group becomes responsible for the death and suffering of many others. I've seen enough war in my life that it just saddens me how stupid the politics are and that why we as humans have to be or act like this. I don't wanna go into details cause it would turn this thread into a political thread, which would then result in the deletion of this post.

Corriewf please take into consideration that I'm not jumping at you, I just don't like the fact that you use all/most in your sentences.

peace.
