ISLAMIC PHOBIA

Islamic world has refers to the worldwide community of moslems. This community number about 1.3 - 1.5 billion people, roughly one-fifth of the world population. This community is spread across many different nations and ethnic groups connected by religion and a shared sense of humanity.
In a historical or geopolitical sense the term usually refers collectively to moslem majority countries or countries in which Islam dominates politically. Moslem history involves the history of the Islamic faith as a religion, and as a social institution.
The history of Islam began in Arabia with The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) first recitations of The Holy Qur'an in the 7th century. The Caliphate grew rapidly geographically expansion of moslem power well beyond the Arabian peninsula in the form of a vast moslem empire with an area of influence that stretched from northwest India, across Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, southern Italy, and the Iberian Peninsula, to the Pyrenees.
The Islamic Empire significantly contributed to globalization during the Islamic Golden Age, when the knowledge, trade, and economies from many previously isolated regions, and civilizations began integrating due to contacts with moslem explorers, sailors, scholars, traders, and travelers. This helped establish the Islamic Empire as the world's leading extensive economic power throughout the 7th-13th centuries. Several contemporary medieval Arabic reports also suggest that moslem explorers from al-Andalus (Spain) may have travelled in expeditions across the Atlantic Ocean between the 9th and 14th centuries.
Now, many peoples in West world have Islamic phobia. They manifest their phobia in attack to moslem peoples in West world, and Islamic world. The U.S.-led "war on terrorism" has been a war on Islam. In 2009, in his first formal television interview as USA President, Barack Obama, addressed the Islamic world for a new partnership, "based on mutual respect and mutual interest." But until now, moslem peoples in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine still oppressed by NATO and Israel.

LOVE OF WEALTH

God (Allah) said, "O mankind! God created you from a single soul, become male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one another. Truly the most honored of you in God's sight is the greatest of you in piety. God is All-Knowing and All-Aware" (Qur'an, 49:13).
About the wealth, many peoples know, that God who provided wealth to the person, made a portion of it for the poor, so the poor have a right over one's wealth. Love of wealth is natural, and it takes firm belief in God for a person to part with some of his wealth. The whole concept of wealth is considered in Islamic values as a gift from God. The true owner of things is not man, but God.
God said, "You who believe! Give of the good things which you have honourably earned, and the fruits of the earth, which God have produced for you" (Qur'an, 2:267).
In Islamic values, a person must give, provide, or supply the other people of the good things, which he have honourably earned. Giving charity to those who deserve it is part of moslems character. Giving charity is considered to purify one's heart of greed. It is an obligation for those who have received their wealth from God, to respond to those members of the community in need. Islamic values emphasizes feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and helping those who are need.
Moslem peoples in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine need help from the other moslems. They have oppressed by USA, NATO, and Israel military. God calls on those who obey God to stand up for the rights of the oppressed. Islamic fighters in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine want to protect and help the peoples from oppress by military of USA, NATO, and Israel.
