Why People accept without research defamation of Islam?
There is grave and serious misunderstanding about Islam. This is not a simple academic question. If Islam is true religion and continuation of all previosu divine religion then it means misunderstanding about this religion may deprive the world peace and balance growht as we saw in the time of dark ages of Europe when Muslims founded universities, laboratory sciences, all major branches of sciences which caused reissance and Industrial revolution. What are the the factors for poor and wrong understanding of Islam? Media? Books? Zionists? what do you think????

The books and research around Islam and a critique and general studies on the governments that purportedly use the Koran to lead the people are not as wide spread as other contemporary forms of religion and governments. Even communism's manifesto is purportedly more easily and readily available than subjects coming from Islam.
Or at least that is how it appears.
It is a lost to the world that Islam and their forms of governments are not better "sold" or advertised as are other forms of religions and governments. It could be due to the anti-icon representation and pro non-idolatry stance that is inherent or at least a feature of a religion that rejects idolatry whole heartedly.
Mass media requires a certain attractiveness which certainly surpasses the illustrations of Islam. The last good illustrations was I believe, in the Koran at least more than 300 years ago, in the books and almanacs which are so painstakingly drawn and decorated. Now, that is quality, that is dedication, those are works of love.
Present media are quick and attractive. As children like sweets, adults like their minds to be momentarily taken off the daily toils and troubles. Islam is portrayed is a perceptibly one dimension with little widespread application, such as how it would be applied when you come to golfing, social chit chat at coffee joints, the simple, yes pleasureable things in life.
Compare this to the Japanese Manga comics. They apply themselves from serious subjects to ideas that children find entertaining.
A point of concern is that the texts of Islam, not Islam, but the people who produce the text, are not in any other language or expressed widely in the creative forms like art, story telling and so on that appeals to the masses. Appeals does not need to end in sin but rather a certain general quality that people can identify with in an easily acceptable form.
Just as most good books are not complicatedly abstract, even if they are, they are translated with many checks to make the final product intact without loosing its message. Translation applies to both language and the way it is expressed that people can identify. Unlike religious text and subjects of deep study that required much fore knowledge.
Sufficiently wide appeal, simplicity in conveying a message, identifiability, relating to the now, how culture and society ruled by the few enlightened and wise, might be a better way to life.
Surely any good God would want a decent life for all people and not some people.
Maybe some texts could begin with why, say for sake of arguement, pig is unholy or unhygenic in today's context when there are technologies to clean animals as compared to 2000 years ago, might be a start.
I would appreciate if you can help by pointing directions to easily digestible topics like how and why states, society and so on under Islam are ruled. I'm not asking for simplicity, but texts without jargons that only the initiated are in the know.

The US and EU must threaten to go away the UN if this passes, it threatens each the first ammendment of the US and the common assertion of human rights within the Eu which promises freedom of speech. This determination has already handed as a non-binding determination (i.e. a concept) however this one could actively inspire participants to enshrine this precept into legislation. What different subject of lifestyles are you able to now not have a rational imperative critique? What approximately economics - you are not able to say that fiscal coverage is unsuitable, it offends my ideals. Or politics - how dare you Democrats say the Republican stance on gun manipulate is unsuitable, that is offensive. btw. In the UK blasphemy continues to be against the law at the statute books, hasn't been actioned given that the 1960's however it is nonetheless there. But so is the legislation you'll kill a Scotsman in York for wearing a bow and arrow on a Sunday. I extremely advise studying Christopher Hitchens' take in this in Slate journal, hyperlink under. EDIT By announcing you're an atheist you're routinely insulting Islam! You are announcing Allah does not exist (punishable by way of loss of life in a few states) so how does that cross along freedom of faith?

Interesting that you suggest blaming Zionists. Sounds like you're as quick to defame another group as you claim others are to defame your own.
Maybe if more Muslims openly condemned terrorism and violence the rest of the world might have a better image of Islam.

one word: extremists. People think that Christianity is nuts because of the fools that make it out to be. Tom Cruise isn't making people stand in line to join scientology, either. When the crazies come out- they ruin it for the people actually wholeheartedly practicing the religion.

if islam stops acting like they are the only ticket to the afterlife and accepts others for what they are than lots of this will stop..real simple..intolerance breeds intolerance.
