Suraqa ibn Malik is one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh). Before becoming a Muslim, Suraqah Ibn Malik, who was well-known for his valor and expertise in tracking people, followed the Prophet and his horse sank in the sand, whereupon he called out to the Prophet to pray for him. Suraqah tried again to follow the Prophet (pbuh), but the legs of his horse again sank to the knees in the sand. Then, he realized that the pursuit was futile because the man he pursued was certainly a true Prophet protected by Allah. He called out for help and promised not only to stop pursuing the Prophet (pbuh) but also to mislead and discourage others from so doing. He offered the Prophet (pbuh) and Abu Bakr his arms and food supplies, which they refused, asking him only to discourage others from following them. The Prophet (pbuh) prayed for him, whereupon his horse was free again. Suraqah started off for Makkah and suddenly stopped and called out: "Please wait! I would like to talk to you, and I promise not to harm you." When he was asked about his request, he said: "O Muhammad! By God, I know that your message will spread and our status will be high. Promise me that you will help me when I come to see you, and put this in writing." The Prophet (pbuh) dictated and Abu Bakr wrote the Prophet's promise. Upon leaving the presence of the Prophet, Muhammad (pbuh) addressed Suraqah: "How would you feel if you were to wear the bracelets of Khosra (the Emperor of Persia)?" "Khosra, son of Hurmuz?" asked Suraqah. "Yes, Khosra son of Hurmuz," answered the Prophet (pbuh).
Is the veil put by the Muslim woman against freedom?
This is a very controversial issue. The answer would be almost completely based on opinion. As for the reason why a Muslim women is made to wear a veil, it is to cover her beauty in order to protect her from the evil and sinful gaze of men. It is a precautionary measure to help avoid rape, adultery and other sin. It can be stated that men are weaker in terms of self-control and for that reason, women have the right to cover themselves in order to liberate themselves and to present themselves as pure beings far superior to animals who are naked at all times and who present their bodies to the opposite gender for mating. In countries where complete human rights are allowed and nobody is discriminated against on the grounds of religion, culture or race, the veil does not stop Muslim women from any form of freedom as in these fair countries, veiled women are not refused jobs, education etc. Only in unfair countries whose systems are discriminatory against certain people are these women actually refused certain opportunities.

In what ways does American society go against Muslim extremist values?
Actually,In the real Islam there is no extremist values at all. On the contrary, when you study Islam you'll find it full of values of peace & tolerance.It believes in equality & justice for all people whatever their races, languages, beliefs...etc. And the Islamic community since the dawn of its history could successfully contain people with so many outward variations.
Allah clearly states this law in the Holy Quran .For example, He says:
"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). "
(Chapter 49, verse 13 )
Al-Hujurat (The Private Apartments, The Inner Apartments)
In fact, the stereotypes about Muslims in the American community, mostly came after September 11,2001 . But it's very important & wise not to prejudge Islam, & not to generalize that Muslims believe in terrorism or bigotry. In fact anyone who commits such a crime then pretends to be a Muslim, actually he doesn't know anything about Islam but its name. And such a person should never be considered as a representative to the Muslims.
You have to know that Islam strictly forbids such deeds & considers them as horrible sins. Allah says in the Holy Quran:
"if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land."
Al-Ma'ida (The Table, The Table Spread)
(chapter 5, verse 32)
Consequently, Islam is really innocent from these accusations. And the evidences are too many. So ,once again please don't prejudge Islam before you know this great humanitarian religion.
