Myth #1:
Most Muslims are Arabs who
live in the Middle East.
Reality:
Of more than 1 billion Muslims
worldwide, only about 1/5 are
Arabs.
Myth #2:
Muslims have a unfamiliar religion
and worship a strange god.
Reality:
Muslims are monotheistic and worship
the same one God as Christians and
Jews-the Arabic word for God is Allah
Myth #3:
Muslims believe it is ok to kill
civilians in a holy war or jihad.
Reality:
Only Muslim extremists believe
this. In Arabic Jihad does not
mean "holy war”. It means
"struggle” or “strive”.
Myth #4:
Most Muslim women wear veils over
their faces and are treated very badly.
Reality
Muslim women have many different styles of
dress- very few cultures require women to
cover their faces.
The treatment of women varies from country
to country and family to family.
Some Muslim countries, like Pakistan, have
had female prime ministers. The U.S. has
never had a female president.
The religion is called ISLAM.
The people are MUSLIMS.
ALLAH is the Arabic word for God.
MOSQUE is the place of worship.
