Comment:Freedom of religion was a cornerstone in which this country was built upon.I have my own religious beliefs and I judge no one else because of theirs. This was a wonderful article and has really opened my eyes about the racism that goes on right here in this so called free country. I hope that you will continue to inform us of these goings on so that more peoples eyes will be opened to the hate and intolerance that's spread throughout the world.

Comment:The non-Muslim world does not have a racist attitude toward Islam. It has a very negative attitude towards the radical, extremist fringe of Islam that is being used to capture the minds of some to use them for their own ends, which do sound somewhat racist. I saw a Taliban in a documentary (made before 9/11) denouncing the US and then going on to say they were going to try to take over Pakistan next, to get rid of the 'low' Muslims there.
I also disagree that the cartoons were intended to insult the prophet. The ones I saw were intended to satirize the gross misuse of Islam and the prophet by the lunatic fringe that sets off suicide bombs using Islam as a cover as well as a tool to manipulate the behavior of the gullible.

Comment:Thank you for this clearly written, and even more important, wisely written article. As a firm supporter of freedom of speech I was at first appalled at the Muslim reaction to the Danish cartoons. However once I shifted my perspective a little I realized that, while violence is never an acceptable reaction, if the cartoons were insulting of Jesus or Judaism the firestorm would have been even larger. I think your article is required reading for anyone who wants to bridge the gulfs of ignorance that are all to common in the modern world.

Comment:A very informative artical .I went on line looking for information on Islam, because I was alarmed to realize I had made a lot of harsh judgments, with little personal experience. I think I know more now and will continue to look further into Islam,so I can understand it better

Comment:You have researched deeply on the subject matter and have come up with vivid living examples of Islamophobia in USA. What the average Muslim desires is to live at peace with his neighbours - whether they are believers or otherwise. But what do we find from the other side? The Muslim is categorized as a special candidate for "Hell", that all the moral and spiritual exhortations of the Holy Qur'an, while indisputable, is meaningless to even the leadership of the Christain faith - for whatever reasons.
So, to use the words of a famous American reggae star, there are more questions than answers. In the face of all these inherent hatred, distrust, etc. how d0 we live amicably, what else should we do, and how much tolerance should we continue to give? May Allah continue to protect his Ummah in the face of these tribulations. Amin. Ma Salaam.

Comment:Alhamdulilahhi, our Scholar Abdul Malik has done it again. I like the quick response to this Global Threat to World Peace. They seem to forget that the adherent of the Islamic faith will not allow any blemish to dent the Islamic faith. May Almighty God continue to be with all Muslims in the face of persecution and punish all individuals who are planning the collapse of the Islamic faith(Amin). Jazakhum llahu Khaeran

Comment:This article addressed the Muslim frustrations, their patience, tolerance, responsibile reactions and finally their blown up anger quite well. Instead of jumping into conclusions, as is the case by others, that Muslims are, by nature, violent; it addresses the causes and effects quite objectively. However, it would be helpful if the article offered some constructive solution instead of one sentence at the end stating, 'Let us today take a stand to end all kinds of fear and hatred of "the other."'
How, and what is your proposal?
Thank you.

Comment:Excellent articel by Abdul Malki Mujahid. I only wish that most Christians demand an apology from the right wing, zenophobic, Islamophobic Danish newspaper to issue an aoplogy for their insensitivity to one of our Abrahamaic faiths. Freedom of expression does not give us the right to denigrate other people cultures & faiths. Lets use this opportunity to open up a dialogue between our two cultures & learn to appreciate & cherish our common roots. Christianity & Islam both derive from the same spring source; our common prophet Abraham/Ibrahim. Lets all say NO to Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, fear mongering, hate speech, racial profiling.
SALAM ALEIKUM.
