In the medieval times of Europe, when the European kings were looking for more personal victory to support their positions in their home country, when they were looking for the wealth of the east, and when the church was losing its power, they decided to create an enemy, the Muslim. They started the horrible holy war under religious flags decorated with the cross, to make people think that they are fighting in the name of God. It was not the Muslims then who started the holy war (jihad).
The main falter of Islamic history was caused by the Turkish Empire, which worked very hard on keeping the Arabs ignorant in order to control them. Four centuries of being isolated, with no education, no progress, while the rest of the world was moving forward. The Islamic world was frozen. After the fall of the Turkish Empire, the west divided the whole Islamic world into pieces and the European occupation began. They kept doing the same the Turkish Empire did (keep them ignorant so you can keep them under control).
The West fears Islam because it is a big threat to their advanced position. If Muslims get back to the core of their religion, they will start to read and learn and study. The West fears pictures which reflect the unity of Muslims, like when more than 4 million are gathered in Mecca for the Hajj (pilgrimage). Things go very smoothly when people are going in circles around the holy house, and when the prayer starts everyone stops. They line up after one word (steady); one word can stop all of them at once. One word can order them to move, and one word started the Qur’an (iqraa/read).
When you find all Muslim all over the globe observing Ramadan, the holy month, and choosing not to eat or drink for long, hot or cold days just because Allah has requested it... One word.
When you hear the call for the prayers five times a day and Muslims drop anything and everything to meet Allah... just one word, Allah Akbar (God is greater than anybody and anything).
Just one word....
This is why the west fears Islam, not because of Bin Laden. That fear was made in America. They fear the one word. ..... Iqraa.
