why racism against muslims??

[hammodi]

hi everybody...im a new mwmber here.. i want to ask all ppl a question..
waiting for your serious reply's...
wht do i notice that most of american n europian ppl actually hate and fight all arab and muslim cultural and relegious icons???

western countries have always been proud that they support freedom of speech, dress, thinking and belief as long as it doesnt hurt other individuals or entities in the country.

but lately we have seen those rules in belgium and danmark that forbid muslim women from wearing their muslim custom.. for security reasons...
so why racism against muslims??

Hi hammodi, thanks for joining YFCI! I hope you like the site .

I'll try to answer your question as maturely as possible. I also belong to a "Western" country, although it is a third world country, so we don't really touch the subject here. However, I am aware of what is happening abroad in the so-called first world countries and how they are treating Muslim traditions.

I think the issue is very complicated. For people who haven't been properly educated on the subject, they relate everything Muslim with issues such as 9/11 or Iraq or burkhas, and they don't understand not every Muslim is involved in those things. Actually just exceptions were involved in the matter. But they relate it, thus mock it because they haven't been taught not to.

As to the new policies in Belgium and Denmark and some other European countries regarding the traditions of Islam, it is a very complicated issue. I have heard about the usage of hijabs for school girls and how some non-Muslim countries resent that. But I really wouldn't know what to say, what do YOU think?
