    Scarves are allowed. But the reason the Muslim religion is discriminated against is because of the Quran and the bad examples many Muslims set in the common world. I am Christian and if somebody doesn't believe the same thing, i don't make them believe it or force them, i simply let it be. Do women really want to wear turbans all the time? It must get kinda hot after a while. Try reading the King James Version Bible, its pretty cool.

    by the way it is forbidden to hurt anyone in islam, these plane bombs and terrorism is NOT islam!

    ----maybe, thing is, the sword verse, abrogation and the fact that 99 times out of 100, if there's a bomb on a plane, a Muslim put it there.

    Also there are lots of other reasons people don't like Islam. But cheer up. It's not EVERYBODY who hates Islam. Just people who understand what it's all about and who don't happen to be Muslims. The people who ARE Muslims just hate the 'wrong kinds' of Muslims, which turns out to be damn near all of them.

    So, who's left to love Islam ? Liberals. B/c they have no effing clue what it's really about.

    Most of the other answers, plus:

    Women are forbidden to wear a headdress in some places because people don't like eachothers religion a lot and dont want to be reminded of it. In our country we forbid cops to wear either headdresses or even Christian crosses - religious expression in a public function is not allowed because they need to be equal to all people and offend or defend no particular religion.

    And another argument: the greatest light causes the greatest opposition from the darkness. The more hatred Islam receives, the bigger the chance of Islam being a center of true good. The evil rampant in this world does not like things that are so good and therefore attacks it.

    There is also a lot of hatred for other religion, like for Christians - although it seems that is mostly based on ignorance and stupidity than full-on anger - and Jews notably.

    It isn't...

    I am a Muslim.

    I am a Westerner.

    I know countless non Muslim westerners who do NOT have piercings all over their faces and body.

    I do agree many governments and people in the west, north, east and south are prejudice against Muslims but that does not mean there are plenty of governments and people in the west, north, east and south who are NOT prejudice towards Muslims.

    I am free to wear my hijab in my western country and if others in my country do not like it, oh well too bad, I am not asking them how to dress.

    Your stereotypes of westerners are equally as bad as any ones stereotypes towards Muslims.

    Two wrongs do not make a right!

    The West, whether Christian or dechristianised, has never really known Islam. Ever since they watched it appear on the world stage, Christians never ceased to insult and slander it in order to find justification for waging war on it. It has been subjected to grotesque distortions the traces of which still endure in the European mind. Even today there are many Westerners for whom Islam can be reduced to three ideas: fanaticism, fatalism and polygamy. Of course, there does exist a more cultivated public whose ideas about Islam are less deformed; there are still precious few who know that the word Islam signifies nothing other than 'submission to God'. One symptom of this ignorance is the fact that in the imagination of most Europeans, Allah refers to the divinity of the Muslims, not the God of the Christians and Jews; they are all surprised to hear, when one takes the trouble to explain things to them, that 'Allah' means 'God', and that even Arab Christians know him by no other name.

    Islam has of course been the object of studies by Western orientalists who, over the last two centuries, have published an extensive learned literature on the subject. Nevertheless, however worthy their labours may have been , particularly in the historical and and philological fields, they have contributed little to a better understanding of the Muslim religion in the Christian or post-Christian milieu, simply because they have failed to arouse much interest outside their specialised academic circles. One is forced also to concede that Oriental studies in the West have not always been inspired by the purest spirit of scholarly impartiality, and it is hard to deny that some Islamicists and Arabists have worked with the clear intention of belittling Islam and its adherents. This tendency was particularly marked for obvious reasons in the heyday of the colonial empires, but it would be an exaggeration to claim that it has vanished without trace.

    These are some of the reasons why Islam remains even today so misjudged by the West, where curiously enough, Asiatic faiths such as Buddhism and Hinduism have for more than a century generated far more visible sympathy and interest, even though Islam is so close to Judaism and Christianity, having flowed from the same Abrahamic source. Despite this, however, for several years it has seemed that external conditions, particularly the growing importance of the Arab-Islamic countries in the world's great political and economic affairs, have served to arouse a growing interest of Islam in the West, resulting for some in the discovery of new and hitherto unsuspected horizons. (From Unveiling Islam, by Roger Du Pasquier, pages 5-7)

    The feeling that there is a general ignorance of Islam in the West is shared by Maurice Bucaille, a French doctor, who writes:

    When one mentions Islam to the materialist atheist, he smiles with a complacency that is only equal to his ignorance of the subject. In common with the majority of Western intellectuals, of whatever religious persuasion, he has an impressive collection of false notions about Islam. One must, on this point, allow him one or two excuses. Firstly, apart from the newly-adopted attitudes prevailing among the highest Catholic authorities, Islam has always been subject in the West to a so-called 'secular slander'. Anyone in the West who has acquired a deep knowledge of Islam knows just to what extent its history, dogma and aims have been distorted. One must also take into account that fact that documents published in European languages on this subject (leaving aside highly specialised studies) do not make the work of a person willing to learn any easier. (From The Bible, the Qur'an and Science, by Maurice Bucaille, page 118) Read More on: http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/orientalism...

    People that hate Islam are the ones who have never studied Islam or been to a Muslim country. And they get all of their information from biased Anti-Islam websites or media networks.
