Hi Muslims.
With all due respect, I wish to declare that I know that there are among Muslims who are not like the extremists you see in the media, but I have several questions.
We all know that Islamophobia is obviously an irrelevant prejudice towards the religion, but may I ask how does one religion, say other than Islam itself, can attain a similar amount of prejudice as today's Islamophobia?
First, you can see the video I post above.
The diversity among the Muslim.
The issues about Islamophobia is related with mind control.
Mind control is under the media influence.
Media from the West always portray Muslim as an Arab nomads tribe,
with turban and carry Ak-47 or rocket launcher.
Same situation in Malaysia.
Islam and politics always relate together in the media.
Non-Muslim has negative view on Islam because
the poor statement make by politician.
Besides, you can't judge a half-past six Christian
to know the Christianity.
Same logic apply to Islam, if you want to know about
Islam. Better for you to meet someone which devote
and fully understand on the religions.
Someone not influence from political movement.
We can't simply assume the mat rempit or terrorist
represent the Islam way of life.
Even not all Malay represent the good value of Islam.
Quran always wrongly interpret by the extremist.
For example, Osama just quotes the verse from Quran
relate with killing the infidel.
However, the verse quotes from Osama is not complete
and there are explanation from God which types of
infidel can be kill by the Muslim.
Osama not mention any verse about God mercy, love and
forgiven.
Same with Jihad.
Muslim wrongly interpret the words Jihad.
Jihad actually means "struggle".
There are 2 types of Jihad which are inner and outer self.
The biggest Jihad is inner self.
To battle with our inner lust and sin.
Transform our self to become a good Muslim.
The jihad to go war is the outer jihad and actually is small types of jihad.
This jihad is necessary when we be oppress by someone.
For example, people come to our land and kill our family.
However, this types of Jihad is wrongly interpret by the extremist.
The best answer to know about Islam is read the Quran.
You can read the Quran translation in English.
Islam is all about "ilm".
Ilm = Knowledge
To gain knowledge you must read by yourself.
Not blindly trust other people to tell you about Islam.
I also don't want you to fully agree with my statement.
However, you can take my suggestion to read the Quran.
To gain knowledge about Islam by yourself.
