Over the past few years, Islamophobia has been the term that completely defines the perspective of most Americans on Muslims and anything that has to do with Islam. On the contrary, there are also cases of some Americans who have opposite opinions towards Islam. This is because the interests and goals of the two groups differ by a great margin and so do their customs. This research paper intends to look into how people in America perceive Islam as a religion. This will be done by presenting the responses given by the respondents in an interview that was conducted on the same topic. The respondents consisted of one Muslim and two Non-Muslims. The following are the questions that were submitted to the respondents:  1. Are you comfortable with your state as a Muslim or would you be one if given a chance?  2. What is your take on the Islamic Law in general?  3. What do you have to say on the rights that Sharia (Islamic law) has set aside for Islamic women? What, if given an opportunity to do so, would you add as a right for the Muslim women?  4. What do you have to say on the present perspective of Islam by the Americans?  5. What do you think the Americans don’t know about Muslims? The first to be interviewed was a middle-aged Muslim woman called Fatima from Hawaii. The following are the responses she gave on the questions identified above. She is happy that she is a Muslim and doesn’t think she would have been anything better without the Islamic religion. Her view of Islam as a religion is that it is the only religion that cares for the total welfare of all the individuals that fall under it. She says that unlike other many religions in the world, Islam is not only concerned with the spiritual development of a person but takes into consideration his or her physical needs as well. She is proud that hers is a doing religion as opposed to the common religions whose members more often than not do not practise what is taught in their places of worship. Asked about her take on the Islamic law as a whole, she responded that the law is perfect in each and every aspect and that it was an important tool in her day to day life. Fatima confesses that except for a few slips here and there, it is the Islamic Law that has seen through life the far that she has reached. She goes on to say that Islamic Law has played a major role in the reduction of risky behavior and terrorism acts among Muslim youths. She also adds that the Law has contributed to the extremely low population of Muslims in prisons worldwide. Fatima was fully satisfied with the original rights that the Quran (The Holy book) and the Hadith (Sayings of Muhammad, the prophet) initially specified for the Islamic women. The various rights that were set aside for women on issues such as education, civil and military work, dress codes, equality in the mosque and prayer, sexuality and marriage, property, marriage and other rights were accurate and fair to both the sexes. However, Fatima was bitter that modern Islamists comprising mostly of men have had the guts to alter the holy words of the Quran and the prophet and distort the women rights in a bid to make them fit into the modern world. For instance, a su
