Surprised by the level of Islamophobia in Germany and the political posters urging the banning of mosques. Seems like Islamophobes are expanding their hate-filled campaign across Europe

Hi elmoon, I'm surprised that this is happening in Germany. We should all have freedom of religion. Blessings.

It is true to have a freedom of religion but at the same time people of such religion should be responsible. Such a phobia is caused by the people of religion but not religion itself. Human beings have the ability to make complex decisions. At the same thee Germans should take a different approach to tackle the issue.

In the United States they have asked Muslims how they feel about the extremist and well over half said they understood and even supported most of their activities. When a Catholic priest is accused of child abuse the majority of the catholics speak out against the priest. When there is a terrorist attack the Muslims are silent or show support for the terrorist. It makes people feel that they are supporting the action and are against the American people and way of life. Yet when a muslim is attacked for no reason it is the American people who are outraged. Look at the recent natural disasters and the support the American people gave to muslims countries and to countries that are not always friendly to us. This at the same time you see very little support from the Muslim countries. I guess we want to know are you with them (the radicals) or against them?

Yes,you are right this thing is increasing in Europe.In Belgium restriction on hijab has been imposed and France is also trying to do the same.I do not know why these people are after the religious obligations of Muslims?Hijab is a divine order,clearly given in the Holy Quran.How can we change it ? Sweden did not like structure of mosques.Certainly this is not the right way to check spreading of Islam in these countries.

I've seen the opposite happening in europe. People do have the right to be a little bit wary of these Islamist countries, from past and current situations, but they've actually forgotten, and turned a blind eye to it. Anyone that was spreading hate and fear without reason would be very few. What would you consider a islamaphobe?

I'm not really aware of this. As far as I knew, many European countries were bending over backwards to cater to Islam due to fear of offending the radical extremist sect. I'm not a religious person and don't care what religion someone else is. But some countries, including my own, seem to be trying desperately to move away from religion. I don't know about Germany's plans or motives, so I can't comment there. But it's news to me.
