Because when people actually learn about Islam on their own rather than just listening to the media, they see a completely different perspective than the one envisioned by the Taliban or American media. As far as I'm concerned, western media is the opposite of fruitful education.
Mainstream media talks about how inmates in prisons across the US turn to Islam. But what it doesn't teach is that their conversion to Islam is actually encouraged by the prison itself because it makes them more peaceful inmates.
It also encompasses more than most westerners think it does. Islam teaches that many cultures and many time periods have recieved many messengers with revelation from God.
Most Americans don't know what the world looks like or even how people think outside their border. Unfortunately, the media is the only window most Americans look through to the global community and for the most part they're full of crap.
People are talking about prophecy of being mislead and it's the media that has done such a great job that the very people who keep reminding us about these prophecies are the ones who fall for it the most.
