i think they don't understand Islam, that's why they have a distorted image of us. plus with the war & terrorism going on, many linked to muslims & Islam... the portrayal of islam in the media is not very charming. i myself felt hurt a bit when i see in the news, masked men angrily threatening people with rifles in their hands & Allah's name is in the background. it just doesn't show the beauty of Islam. ppl who doesn't know the whole story will think Islam is vioelence...
but, i read somewhere that after 911, the west grew an interest in Islam that the Quran was in hot demand. there are some ppl who are trying to understand us...
