could this be the reason why muslims are feared?

if you didn’t know by now about where my beliefs stand, i will tell you what my belief is and i will tell you proudly; that i am a muslim. i am part of the largest family in the world. i believe with certainty that there is no god worthy of worship other than Allah SWT and that Muhammad ( pbuh ) is His slave and messenger. these beliefs, for some; put great fear in their hearts.

i have come to the conclusion that america doesn’t really fear muslims because of the threat of terrorism. the government knows that there are many people in this country that aren’t even muslims that are angry with what’s going on here. the government knows that virtually any group of people are capable of committing terrorist acts. i am not saying that the government doesn’t care if terrorist attacks do occur, but their focus of only targeting muslims, leaves a huge opportunity for others not related to islam to cause harm to our nation.

islam is indeed a threat to america. but not for the reasons that you may be thinking of. islam is bad for american business. not all of american business, but the american businesses that profit the most. why do i say that? the truth is that most of what sells here in america is HARAM. what do i mean by “ sells “ ?i mean what’s the most profitable things in this country. the adult industry, improperly slaughtered animals used for food, interest, disgusting and filthy television shows, offensive songs and commercials, scantily clad women, promotion of same sex relationships and tv shows. all of these things are the rage here in america.

so where do the muslims come in? we as muslims don’t support these things, so that’s money that companies are losing. they can deal with the foreign born muslims not taking part in the debauchery, they can’t however tolerate americans embracing islam. why? they know that most americans are partaking in what islam considers to be haram.

islam changes lives. it changes lives for the better. these companies and the government really don’t want americans to give up liquor, tobacco, mortgages with interest, adult videos, pork, tarot cards, racism etc. there’s too much money to be lost.

if more americans continue to embrace islam, the more moral the country will become. this morality is the fear of people that have built their empires built on immorality.

so i ask all born muslims to encourage,support, and guide all of those new muslims here in america. like babies, they are delicate and need support and nourishment. may ALLAH SWT keep us growing in our deen. amin

this was an interesting post, and i agree with some of what you have to say. however, i think that there are many americans who do not support some of the following list you have mentioned, as stated below. alot of other religious groups shun these type of things, so i don't think that islam is perceived as a threat in this sense. in general, religous freedom is pretty tolerated in america...

i have lived in france and the blatent disrespect for muslims over there is something that i have never experienced before living in the usa. this is just my experience, so i really can't speak for others.

i think that most countries have the above problems, so it's not a problem unique to the usa....also most of my friends are non-muslims, and they are good people. also, i've noticed that americans are more conservative than europeans when it comes to some of the topics listed above.

unfortunately, haram things will always be a temptation to every human being, everywhere on this earth!

thanks for your post. it should be an interesting discussion.

i understand your view. what i mean is that islam is " foreign " to america. it isn't seen to be the religion of the all american blonde blue eyed white guy. i have no problem with those types becoming muslim, but many americans do. islam is seen as the religion of arabs and pakistanis, here in america or the religion for non conformist african americans. it isn't supposed to reach traditional america. yes there are good christians, there is no doubt about that, however we muslims are more directly ordered then they are when it comes to staying away from the haram. i believe that we are more serious with our deen. that's why we are more of a threat. we truly base our lives on how muhammad :saw: lived. we eat the way he ate, we try to sleep the way he slept, we pray the way he prayed etc. we are more willing to give up everything for islam. there are tons of muslims here in america that haven't bought the so called " dream home " because they know that ribaa is haram. everyone else are getting these homes, but we believe in following sunnah so much, we will sacrifice the treasures of this dunya to build up our treasures for the akhirah. with the whole ribaa issue alone, americans embracing islam and avoiding ribaa, would hurt the mortagage industry. an industry that exploits through ribaa.

Oh yes I think about this all the time but they are smart too..they are jumping on the band wagon and selling halal stuff ie halal meat and longer clothes in regular stores..this year the style is dresses on top of pants...they even admitted they took it from muslim fashion. What choice do they have..they can't stop Islam..so if you can't beat 'em , join 'em..at least financially they are thinking. Its happening slowly but it is happening..I've seen things change so much since I converted in '91.

Asalaamu Alaikum, my Brother,

Interesting post. Actually, I came to a very similar conclusion on my own too. Except I took it one step further... not only will we not support their debauchery (as you put it, love the phraseology hehe), but we're obligated to speak out against it: further undermining their empire built upon all of this immorality.

When we speak out against it and fair minded, reasonable others hear our cries for sanity sometimes they fall onto the path of Islam, and perhaps Allah will have the mercy to guide them to accept Islam. I'm certain that I'm not the first to have reverted under this template. With the more and more people reverting, these sick men/women in control are losing their power, losing their influence. This is something that really ticks them off.

Another step further, what they fear is: "What if more of our people accept Islam? What if it grows and spreads and flourishes and one day I wake up to find that 50%+ of my country is suddenly Muslim?" Now we're in a whole new set of circumstances, because not only will their immoral practices suffer in profits, but those who've studied Islam enough know that Muslims are compelled to overthrow disbelieving, unjust rulers when they are in a "Muslim country" - where the majority are Muslims. Am I right?

Oh boy, then they've got a real set of problems on their hands. =) Not only will we not accept their system, but we'll be obligated to band together under Rasullulah's banner and take that system down!

It's not that they're terrified of the 0.1% of us who will act violently, seemingly at random - They're terrified to lose their power, to lose their influence in maintaining their immoral and diseased way of life. Worse yet, they're terrified that we might be right: That they might be held to account for all of their decisions, collective and individual, before the hosts of the worlds and before God Almighty Himself! =)

When we are dead and have become dust and bones

Shall then we indeed be raised again?
