Ridiculous Myths about Muslims

Five Myths that many people believe about Muslims

Muslims detained after 9/11

10 years after 9/11 let us also remember the Muslims who were rounded up and detained for being Muslim Men of a certain age.

Blame it on the Muslims

The shooting in Norway is not being blamed on Christianity, even though the shooter was a christian but when an attack of terror is committed by a Muslim people don't hesitate to blame it on Islam.

Scoring political points on the backs of Muslims

Herman Cain grabbed headlines months ago for stating that he would not appoint a Muslim to be in his cabinet or to be a federal judge if he were elected president. He has recently stated that communities have a right to ban mosques from being built because of the threat of Islam and terrorism. Reason magazine had a a good piece titled Fear of a Muslim America where they delve into the issue of Islam and Islam-aphobia.

"Ground Zero Mosque" controversy

The "Ground Zero Mosque" controversy grabbed national headlines for several weeks. 60 minutes did an excellent job covering the story in this 13 minute piece. They point out a number of facts that weren't front and center at the debate. One was that the ground zero area at the pentagon has a non-denominational prayer center, and the Muslim call to prayer happens there daily. Two, was that the old burlington coat factory (the site of the controversial ground zero mosque, which happens to be 2 blocks away from where the twin towers stood), has actually already been functioning as a mosque for several months now. The only question is whether or not they'll be able to turn it into a community center with a pool and an auditorium.
