Bro Tariqibn, Islam does not believe in countries and boundaries and living in a foreign land could be anything like avoiding persecuting in their home countries, education, personal economic advancement, better life for kids AND sometimes the corrupt retired civil servants and military generals from around the world brings in a lot of cash.
 
As for moslem lands and like I said Islam does not believe in boundaries and countries; in the earlier days, it used to be very easier for the guyz to pickup his stuff, load it on a camel or horse and moved to Egypt or Syria or Iraq - I think you want to know the political conditions of the Moslem lands and oppressive "western-backed" governments who crush any voice that is raised against them - Simple thing is anybody who calls himself a Moslem but does practice religion and kills and torture its own co-religionists cannot be calleda Moslem.

Here we go this is what most westerns are afraid of.  It is talk like this that I believe gives the Muslims a bad name.

What happened to being able to live in harmony with other religions and thus showing them that Islam is superior by example?

I feel that G_D would want us to live in harmony no matter where it is.

Here I am in very ant Islamic community trying to convince them that most Muslims are not out to get them and how wrong they are for calling the two people around here who were turbans “rag heads”.

Mean while you are all going off about infidels and how destructive the western divination is.

Is this not the same thing they feel Islam spreads hate and you feel western cultures are suppressing every one.

Can we not see we are all humans but we can not classify and stereotype people by groups or we will never get along?

It is not true to say all Muslims spread hate and terror, but in same token, we can not say all western cultures try to suppress Islam.

When the US government does some thing they do not call every citizen to see if they approve of it.

Let us all get along
If we can not on this site then how can we spread it world wide.

No side wins just coexist is my goal.

Dnasim, an opinion of some Moslem cannot be posted on whole of the Moslem nation, remember like all nations, Moselms are comprised of differnt people with different views and opinions.
