You have posted the challenge that no one can find even one positive article about Islam. Its an obvious ploy to seek out representatives from that perspective who provide fodder for the extremists from you perspective and no one has responded by agreeing to play the bigot game. I did answer your request btw. "There are innumerable such stories as well as negative comparable stories about other cultures ... but I don't play bigoted games. It's an interesting game where the only winning strategy is not to play. All you bigoted extremists are miserable cowards who defeat yourselves at the cost of your very soul, but you are welcome to enjoy your company all you like.

toledomuslims.com chicagotribune.com And here's a great story- wish it had been covered outside of the Christian media: anabaptist.lifewithchrist.org If you look, you will find many positive contributions especially in the arena of charity. It is not hard to find positive articles, although before 9/11 there used to be more of them. muslimvoice.net The negative is SO much more fascinating, that we don't hear much positive about minority groups the majority has reason to distrust. But having taught Muslims students, I find that their lives in themselves were positive. Like Mormon children they came to school ready to learn (as opposed to flirt) and that they were often given abuse by other students because they do not drink and smoke, and they come from very conservative homes. Many people often view Mormons with suspicion too, and their religion also fails to get as much positive press as it probably deserves, while the negative aspects (the history of bigamy) is blown all out of proportion. If you look for the positive you will find it.
