What are your thoughts about muslims?

I think it's wrong that they try to impose their laws on us and build mosques...if you want to live in another country, you should live by their laws ....mho

Idk. Tbh they make me uncomfortable.

I just see them as people. No more no less.
I don't feel uncomfortably at all around Muslim folk. They have done me no harm whatsoever.

I judge people according to their actions. I couldn't care less of their religion or culture, as long as they are decent human beings.

Some of the nastiest people I have ever met go to church on a Sunday.

They're people, like everyone else. Many are cool. Many are shit. And ideologues are dangerous.

I haven’t had any problems with anyone Muslim, personally. It’s a hard question, because I’m told a few of my ancestors were already in this country when a whole bunch of European Christians showed up. And they took over. 😳

I am a Muslim..

I just dont understand why you make immigration by one or many as an occupation and envasion of another country... and breaking law has got nothing to do with one's religion, but behavior...

I'm pretty sure I'm going to regret answering this and end up asking with idiots. But here i go anyway. They are not fundamentally bad people. The same as i feel like not all Christians are bad. Yes i believe there are some of both sects that are downright evil and live for nothing but hatred. But i refuse to live my life assuming everyone i meet is the radicalised person responsible for 9/11 any more than i want to believe every person i meet is a radicalised Christian living in a compound hoarding weapons claiming to be Jesus. I'll judge on case by case basis for all religions. All religions.

I am a Christian. Jesus says love God and all people, so I want to help anyone who is persecuted in their country. Many are Christians who are persecuted in their countries. But I love all people regardless of their religion and if they need my help I will never turn them away. Jesus said "When they were thirsty, you gave them water, when they were hungry you gave them food. As much as you did it for them, you did it for me" This is a test from God. He says "These are my disciples if you love one another" True Christians are loving!

Muslims are people like anyone else. I don't have any strong feelings about them beyond sympathy for the fact that they face incredible persecution and of course the geopolitical issues of Wahabbist terrorism.

What a lot of people don't get is that most Muslim immigrants in western nations are first generation ones and subsequent generations settle into a comfortable niche. All the bigoted nonsense we hear about Muslims people were shouting about Catholics a hundred years ago. This ain't new.

My same thoughts about Christians, and every other religion. Your gods do not exist. Instead of dedicating your time, energy and resources towards helping people live better lives, you proselytize and condemn other people because they believe in something you dont.

Failry negative to be honest. The sharia code is pretty awful as regards women, gays, non-believers and others.

And furthermore, any religion that doesnt like dogs sucks

I am working since 6 years with refugees and I would say that A VERY BIG PART of my clients are Muslims. Most of them are really nice people. And the few "bad ones" are bad because of the person they are and not because of their religion. It is the same that also not all of us Christians are "angels."

Or to say it with a few words: I agree fully with the comment of @Entwistle.

And my own, personal thought is this: I NEVER mind the religion of someone. The inner person is more important to me.

I don't give a shit, muslims come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. I don't take kindly to anyone who talks about muslims as if they are all terrorists, that just exposes their own fanaticism.

Muslims are people, I like people, dont give a damn about anything else

I'm fi e with anyone as lo g as they respect my beliefs as I respect theirs and they want to live in peace.

I think theyre cool people.

There are all kinds of Muslim people, but as a whole I see they are less prone to assimilate than other communities, and quite willing to live on welfare (to be honest, I blame more my stupid government than Muslims for this happening).

I have a lot of concerns about Islam, a religion that claims for death to infidels is always dangerous. If Muslims were the majority here one day, I would think my country is not my country any more, and very likely like a Jew in Germany in the 1930s.

Ι don't form an opinion about anyone a priori, I don't think anything about Muslims in general, just what I think about other people as well. I do see quite a lot everyday (because I live in the capital, other areas do not have that many) and I'm kinda close to a muslim girl from university.
I myself am not religious and I don't care about what religion most of the population follows.

Well, they are very strict type... They use less brain... More easy to get aggressive as they eat meat alot... They use power...
In most of Muslims girls are not open... Even if they want then also they can't ... Restrictions!
Bad thing is get divorced from husband just in three words.. Talak talak talak!
If girl try to speak against... She is force to marry bro or father of her husband then... Forceful sex... They use them like a toy... Then again divorced... Life looks hell!

In India Muslim are not in power... But still they do conversion of people from other religion hidden way!. They try to be friendly in place where their population is less... So they can survive but reality is they don't like people of any other religion...

In other countries were Muslim population is high... There conditions is worst for people who belong to other religion!

In a Pakistan conversion is very high... Hindu girls are picked up forcefully from their houses and forced to get married with divorced man of their grand father age... Or forced to marry with terrorists so they can produce babies And make them terrorist.

First time i went to biggest Majid( Muslim worship place) in India!
There were many Muslims... Some were abusing... Place was very uncomfortable... As very crowded.. No space to walk...
Meat shops... All around!

I don't afraid to travel in Muslim area or in crowded area... But for females i don't think it is good place to go..!
Well some Muslims girl are lucky their parents are careful and educate their girl child so they become independent and live their dreams!
I have some Muslim friends who are nice people who think above all these stupid religious stuff..
Believe in humanity!

So like everyone converted to Islam in the country?

I think Islam is a bogus religion.

It's a political ideology and should not be protected as religions are.

Just another bunch of people wasting their time praying to a god who isnt there.

I like Muslims

I have no problem with Muslims at all. As I said on another post of mine earlier, we have freedom of religion in America and we are free to believe whatever we want here..so stop crying.

They are human beings just like the rest of us, and should be treated as such, whether you agree with their lifestyle or not.

I’ve never been harmed by a Muslim. Quite the opposite actually. So... why would I feel uncomfortable ? I have Muslim friends around me, they’re cool folks.

So much hate and wars have been caused by religions that the world would be better off without any.

I can roll with the pro-freedom Muslims, but an alarmingly large proportion of Muslims support regressive, theocratic, anti-liberation policies that fuck up every country they enter. So not those Muslims, but some types are cool.

@puck61 Yes, your point is my concern as well!
I don't want them to over populate and dominate my country.... Specially Hindu religion! Because India is known for its Hindu culture, purity, colours, love, care and acceptance thats why India is called incredible!

Hinduism is not just religion it is a way of living life!

Well the world just evolves that way. I have no problem with them.

I think the problem is that how the media portrays them especially Rupert Murdock’s bullshit. Problem is, some westerners believe what comes from the idiot box they sit in front of.

Live and let live, I judge people individually, but I judge religions as a whole and Islam seems to have a high percentage of whackadoos in it.

If they behaved like muslims in the town I visited a few years ago I would feel threatened.

The problem is that U.K. birth rate is falling but the Muslims are increasing
If this continues eventually the Muslims will be the majority
We could them be the minority and the Muslims could then be our mps and run the country and dictate the laws
Thankfully not in my lifetime but it could happen

I think Muslims are one particular people who should be quarantined from the rest of the world. I would be willing to pay a tax to insure their comfort as long as they stay in their particular part of the world.

I have no issue with them at all, however, if they wish to live by Sharia Law then they can go to a country that uses it, not try and change how the laws in my country function.

They are just people and the idea that they will become a majority is just the deranged nightmares of right wing conspiracy theorists.

I have friends that are Muslim. They are just like anybody else. Too much fear generated by news media and social media. Never met one who is trying to change our laws to match theirs.
But...... that is only my experience.

Any fanatics from any religion is an ass. Secular muslims live like everyone else, abiding the laws of the society they live in. The problem is, people don’t know that these people are muslims. And media only shows the hillbillies and fanatics of the muslim world.

I think that it's past time that we stopped labeling them all as "terrorists". The bulk of Muslims have nothing to do with Islamic State (or whatever you want to call Bin Laden's lot) and attacking them because of their faith serves no purpose anymore than attacking all Christians who twist the Bible to enable them to abuse others does.

They’re just like anyone else. Some are nice, some are not.

William Joseph Simmons was a mal-content, unhappy with his life because he couldn't afford to go to medical school and was incompetent as a teacher working for the Methodists.

So, he misused Christianity to start the KKK.

If the KKK represents all of Christianity, then we should surely be concerned that all Christians are closet murderers.

OR.....

perhaps the extremist loonies of ISIS, al-Quaeda and others should be viewed in the same way that we view the KKK or the groups espousing ethnic cleansing in Europe.


Honestly, questions regarding "your thoughts on {insert name of group here}" can only result in stereotyping and non-productive conversation. Not every person in a group is homogeneous. Making assessments like this exposes us all to deception.

Instead, we should look at the behaviors of individuals based on what they actually do.

I don’t think I’d feel any differently than I do now. I’m kinda certain that white people here are in the minority here and I’m fine with that.

Maybe a lot of them are Muslims. How would I know unless they wore a hijab and I’m thinking that a lot of Muslim women don’t wear a hijab.

I think it would be fine.

There are a lot of Muslims in the US already.

muslims are not the problem. islam is the problem.
