Answer 1

Most Americans?  Nobody I know think muslims are evil.  Your statement shows your ignorance.  With your philosophy, you are just as bad as the Americans that are racist.  

Answer 2

9/11 is your answer.

Your answer as to why SOME Americans presently discriminate against Muslims.  I don't do it, I wish others wouldn't do it, but those who do do it, do it because of 9/11.  

Answer 3

I nor anyone I know hate muslims or think they are evil...we all know that we are all different and unique...I'm an American and I know I never get asked how I feel about most things that are going on in america...WE the people are like mushrooms..kept in the dark and fed p**p.......I personally just want all of us to live as happy and peaceful a life as we can have on this earth...blessings to you!  I have always wanted to go to England...?

Answer 4

Your Number ONE on name calling, your calling Us Americans Ignorant...You need to get off this Yahoo and remove your Negative thoughts from here...by the way I believe there all good and bad people everywhere...Why can't We All Just Get Along...Peace

Answer 5

You're not helping your argument any by being an anti-American bigot.

Answer 6

Fear of the unknown is my humble opinion. I think in time things will change tho.

Answer 7

because all they know is what they see on the news and read about in the paper

Answer 8

Why are most muslims so ignorant about american's. Just look at America, there is a large muslim population and American's aren't racist against muslims.

Why do Americans have more sense and are more intelligent than Muslims.

Answer 9

because of streotyping  

Answer 10

We don't think that way. You just hear about those crackers in like the south who just say like "f the mexicans and terrorists". Seriously we don't go around calling people rag heads and all that.

Answer 11

I agree that it is wrong to be racist and discriminate against people....but that is exactly what you are doing by calling yourself more intelligent than Americans.

Answer 12

Now you have just called ALL Americans ignorant, haven't you.  You were saying something about someone calling All Muslims evil?  Bonehead.

Answer 13

because they're the ones (not all of them obviously) that we're going against in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Answer 14

You're contradicting yourself by saying all Americans are stupid.  

Answer 15

Not ALL Americans hate ALL Muslims.

9/11 and subsequent actions put a big dent our perception of them.  I was having my doubts about many even before that when  the USS Cole was attacked.  A store that I went into was staffed by several young Islamic men who asked me,a vendor serving the store, if the ship had sunk.  I told him no and he said that that was too bad.  I thought that it was an isolated incident until 9/11.

Now, sadly, I won't say that I hate Muslims, but I can't blindly trust them either.
