It would be so important to
stress at first that all Americans agree that America was founded on the idea
of religious freedom for everyone, including religious groups that are even unpopular,
sooth to say that ninety-five percent of Americans agree that all religious Books
and tenets should be treated with respect even if they don’t share the religious beliefs of
those who use them, moreover , Americans’ views of Muslims and Islam are
mixed, as with other previously marginalized religious groups in U.S.
history, Americans are grappling with the questions Islam poses to America’s
founding principles and way of life.

Nevertheless, the United
States is considerably more religious than any of its economically developed
Western counterparts, it was indicated
in some polls that 93 percent of Americans said they believed in God
or a universal spirit, 86 percent claimed affiliation with a specific
religious denomination, and 67 percent reported membership in a church or
synagogue.

Taking into account the
recent developments on the scene whether in Europe or in the United States ,
it is crystal clear that Muslims living abroad are becoming more civically and politically
engaged with their local communities and government, whether it is local,
state or federal.
The Muslim American
community has come a long way in the aftermath of the “so called” 9/11 attacks,
although, the well known common Answer: “Hollywood can create anything” obviously,
Americans are urged to deal with the realities of Islam phobia, anti-Muslim
bigotry and hate crimes while at the same time and so as to continue the
momentum for positive change, the Muslim American community should persist in
doing good work to remain a vibrant sector of that fabric.
Taking into account the statements
of Muslim leaders who have shown a variety of resentments about US policies,
it is clear to note that Muslims share the worldwide view that the US does
not live up to its own ideals of international law and democracy and it is
absolutely true from all points that the specific complaints that the US favouring
“Israel” over the Palestinians and the Muslim World as a whole, no wonder the US exploits the Middle East for its oil
and that it hypocritically supports non-democratic and “henpecked” governments in this region that
accommodate its interests up to now these scornful attitudes persist , as a
result of these fallacious and nonsense attitude ,there is seems to be a
perception that the US has entered into a war against Islam itself.

Despite all these wicked manoeuvres in view
of distorting the reality, US public opinion is having significant
consequences on the ground as we are seeing vividly in both Afghanistan and
Iraq today, this because Uncle Sam’s Administration is acting on its own
initiative, without multilateral approval, these public feelings are also apt
to be highly focused at the US itself, and the fact is that Worldwide Muslims are contemplating the US
presence as a threat for the country, its people and the future generations as
a whole, and are surely aware that
rather the target is widely seen as the religion with which they deeply
identify.

Finally it would be but a
great occasion for my distinguished audience while watching the below shown
YouTube video to understand that the large trend of American people are such
Fantastic peace loving nation and mostly have such high profile awareness
preventing them from absorbing and perceiving biased and ill fated propaganda
as well as negative stereotypes intended to harm the ever growing Faith of
Islam.
