Arrow Why Americans are into chasing Muslims these days?

Today's Muslim population in Russia is 20 MILLION people. Muslims happily lived in Russia for HUNDREDS of years.
So I don't understand why Americans are into chasing Muslims these days. Is there nothing better to do?

Here's one good Islam site to check out. They post information without any propaganda spin - Islam.com - Home



Introduction to Islam

The literal meaning of Islam is peace; surrender of one’s will i.e. losing oneself for the sake of God and surrendering one’s own pleasure for the pleasure of God. The message of Islam was revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings on him) 1, 400 years ago. It was revealed through angel Gabriel (on whom be peace) and was thus preserved in the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran carries a Divine guarantee of safeguard from interpolation and it claims that it combines the best features of the earlier scriptures.

I can think of 2 reasons why Americans may be looking in that direction.

Russia actively and aggressively represses Muslims. The barbaric treatment of muslims in Chechnya is but one example.

Quote:
The Kremlin has long been haunted by the fear of Islamic fundamentalism spreading in Russia. The ongoing war in predominantly Muslim Chechnya and the wave of terrorist attacks that hit Russia last summer have served to fuel these fears. The number of Muslims brought before Russian courts for alleged links with the banned radical Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir is on the rise. But ordinary Muslims say they are taking the brunt of the government's campaign to stamp out terrorism in the country.

What does Chechnya have to do with this thread???
In addition, it was Al Qaeda carrying out their Jihad. Jihad is in the Islamic religion, is it not?? How can you say that it was not commited by a religion? I am suprised that his is all you can come up with, levi.
