#1 it isnt just muslim men as you claim.... it's men in general. Looking at american soceity and how men treat and look at women as sex symbols in everyday life. Although women are beauitful and unique in their own way. The male sex here in America and the world are physical creators by nature and the way some women dress here causes them more problems then just being a woman.

And lets not get on our high horses because only after war world 2 did America started treating women with the respect they deserve. Being that all the men was at war ,the ecomony was at a all time low therefore the country needed to able bodies to work and guess who has left to do so?.....women.

Come as a born American myself i know how many people in this country look at many issues. They are quick to denounce something that we don't understand or bais too. hopefully you caught my drift!!

This is how i see things!!! A jew can grow a beard to show his faith but when a muslim do it he is a extremist or terrorist. Or a nun can cover her head to devote her will to G-d but when muslim women do it they are oppressed.

When women here in American stays at home to watch after the household and children . she is respected for sacrificing herself for the good of the household. But when muslim women do the same again they need to be liberated. Females here can go to any schools and universities and wear earrings and all kinds of jewels to express herself but when muslim women wear their hijab(curf) they are not allowed to enter in some cases.

When a child dedicates his or herself to something they have potential but when the child devotes themselves to islam they're hopeless. When christian or jew commit and crime, religion is not mention but with a muslim, islam is put on trial.

When someone sacifrices themselves for a noble cause they are respected by all. When a muslim does the same to keep his brothers from being killed, mother raped, home and mosque being torn dow, He's a terrorist!.

When there is trouble we accept a solution...when the solution lies in islam we refuse to take a look

When people drive a perfect car and have a accident no one blames the car but when a muslim acts in a bad way we blame islam. My point is without looking at the tradition of islam people will believe in the newpapers. But if one reads the koran and understand the meaning.... They understand rightousness and Only the koran speaks for all humanity.
