    To call the Hijra just an islamic event is pretty interesting.

    Nice to see someone who knows about it...I thought it's easier to say it that way than try to explain it. And what is wrong with calling it an event...could be considered bigger than a simple event tho...but

    OK, I just saw the bold part...before that I thought you're considering it smaller than a event...
    Consider my use of "event" a result of my small English vocabulary...couldn't think of a better word to describe it so shortly

    I perfectly understood what you meant to say. It just sounded so cool. If you think about all the controverses about the ummah in the "western" world a muslim comes up calling Muhammad treck to Yathrib just an event.
    No harm intended.

    In short: People are afraid that islamic fundamentalists wanna conquer the world, apply the Shariah and oppress the "dhimmis". Actually since 9/11 there's some islamophobia going on.
    That's what ignorance does with people..
