Islam is Misunderstood

[megimoo]

Everybody just relax. Islam is badly misunderstood.
The negative stereotype of Islam is the usual evil-doings of Zionists in America and their foolish fellow travelers, fundamentalist Christians.

Please don’t listen to what these hatemongers say about Islam and hear us out. So implies the nationally-launched campaign of Muslim organizations in the United States.

Ads are popping up in newspapers and magazines proclaiming the magnificence of Islam and aiming to refute the “false allegations” of Islam’s ill-wishers.

Huge billboards are festooning major highways, such as the one along Highway 101 and Tully Road in San Jose, California, with crafty messages. Bold letters on the billboard proclaim: Islam You Deserve to Know. A toll-free number, 1-877-WhyIslam and website, WhyIslam.org beckon the public to get the real scoop about the religion of peace.

The billboard sneakily reminds the viewers about their kinship with Muslims. “Islam: The message of Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad.”

Well folks—Christians and Jews—the overwhelming majority of the people in the United States, you need to relax about Islam. Muslims are family. They are your kindred through your shared progenitor, Abraham.

Somebody should tell them that a good product sells itself. It doesn't need billboards after people have seen it.

To be fair, Islam is misunderstood. Too many people think that it's a religion of peace and that they can coexist with it. Somebody needs to post counter billboards with some of the points raised in this thread. Of course, those would be denounced as Islamophobic, but a phobia is an irrational fear, and there is nothing irrational about a fear of a movement that seeks to destroy your culture and life.
