myth,

ı can not speak for all muslims. but as a turkish muslim ı am very sure that the sick cultural social habits we have, has no relationship with islam. a european have all kinds of rights to dislike muslim culture in their society. a european for cultural reasons can dislike to be neighbours with a turk in their town. turkey can be denied from eu because we are muslims. ı really respect these and understand this.

but ı get very upset and angry when you go one step further and start to accuse that muslims are terrorists , islam orders to kill, muslims are trying to invade europe and the whole world, muslims merry children etc. ı get disgusted from these accusations.

islam and muslim societies have real problems inside itself. but the reasons of terrorizm done in the name of islam has a reason .that is resistence against christian imperializm.in order to make western people live rich and easy lifes, the rest of the underdeveloped countries are considered as playing garden. but we are also humans. we have families, we have children we have feelings.

assuming that islam is an evil cult and so a muslims life is not important is exactly what some important people wants the people to think.so that they can do their ugly jobs.they suck the peoples bloods in order to be more and more powerful. big countries big componies, arab dictators are all partners in this ugly ugly job. and we the rest are the preys. i
