The Fear of Islam and Muslims

In 2009, pregnant Muslim women were murdered in German courts. A 28 - year - old German man stabbed her six times. She is bleeding dead in front of her child and her husband ("Islamophobia" Global n. P.). Islamic phobia is a relatively new term that refers to the fear of Muslims and Muslims. The definition also includes discrimination and hostility against Muslims. Thus, Islamic phobia can be defined as irrational fear and hostility towards Islam and Muslims ("Islamic phobia" for n. P).

According to the Gallup polls survey in 2011, Islamic phobia has increased in the past decade. Another poll conducted by the Washington Post through the Public Religious Institution shows that 48% of Americans feel uncomfortable with Muslim women wearing Burka. In the 2014 survey by the Pew Research Center, Muslims are the most popular religious group in the United States and it turns out that the coldness rating of 40 out of 100 points is lower than the coldness evaluation of 41 points received by atheists It was. According to a poll conducted by the Public Religious Institute in November 2015, 56% of Americans believe that the Islamic values ​​do not agree with American values ​​and lifestyles.

Western complaints against Muslim minorities are rising and people are increasingly concerned about Islam. In this sense, some of my Western friends are "Islamic phobia." They are afraid of Muslim. To be honest, I understand their fear ... the west side can not force Muslims to adopt a gentle interpretation of Islam. However, Western politicians should cease talking to us that fundamentalism and violence have nothing to do with traditional Muslims. This is totally wrong. In the last 50 years Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries have spent a lot of money to promote their very conservative Islamic version around the world. After continuing this for decades, the Western side finally has to put a decisive pressure on Saudi Arabia to stop this action ... I admire Westerners, especially European politicians. Their idea is very wonderful and humanitarian. But we live in an era when you have to think and act realistically

Muslim and Christian relations in Europe today are inevitably influenced by fear of Islam's violence for centuries. Of course, these concerns are exacerbated by terrorist attacks all over the world since the 21st century. Concerns about the wave of immigrants from all over the Islamic world to Europe have also raised tensions among Europeans about Muslim. Today, about 70% of the refugees in the world are Muslims. At the psychological level, fear and distrust deepen the long history of mutual attacks. At a practical level, Europeans lose their jobs, fairly reduce social services, and worry about the cultural integrity of each country.
