10 and ½ COMMON MYTHS ABOUT MUSLIMS (in no particular order): Why is a Muslim Scary?Read the article this discussion is about
This archived discussion is "read only".
» Binte - Why is a Muslim Scary? Ok, since the term comes up so often and it's good to know where someone is coming from when they use it, I'd like to hear (read ) definitions of the term 'religious fundamentalist'.If you do post your understanding of the word, I'd appreciate an additional, more particular, definition of the kind of Muslim you would consider a 'fundamentalist'. I ask because while it's obvious that people who blow up buildings are fanatic and probably psychotic too, I've seen Muslims who follow the basic tenets of Islam referred to as such too. What scares others about seeing a Muslim? Is it the hijab? Is is the beard? Or is it just stereotyping? Fatima -- posted by Binte
