maybe you should watch a Hindi movie, PK
a very good movie

Deadlocks, what you are asking is dangerous and baiting hate. Seems like you are asking us may / how do we misinterpret other religions so that they will get "hated" just like how the "west hating Islam".

If I define your question correctly, I suggest people here to NOT answer this question. We should not fight fire with fire, hate with hate.

It may be hypothetical, Deadlocks, but it still baiting hate. So please don't make other people conceive this bad ideas. If you really have to have it, you have to conceive it by yourself. But I'm not sure if you should, don't fill your mind with hate.

Second of all, you are saying, after the media misinterpret a religion, the followers will "also conceive extremism". This is not how it works.

Third of all, if I define your question wrongly (I'm sure I didn't) please correct me and disregard what I said above.

Err, okay?

Not really. It's not how "we" or "y'all" misinterpret other religions, but it is how the media misrepresents a religion / belief system.

But of course, I apologize for any misunderstandings due to this. I am ready to explain myself whenever possible in order to clear any misunderstandings.

I do not intend anyone to conceive any bad ideas. The purpose of the hypothetical question is to understand further how a religion is misrepresented by the media so badly that somehow conceived the amount of extremism as sensationalized by the media. By understanding how other religions can also be equally misrepresented by the media, perhaps we will be able to eradicate or lessen the effects of Islamophobia in the world.

In other words, it's not really hate vs. hate, as you have put it. It is understanding vs. understanding.

The only reason why I would say such a thing, because I was unable to see the same conception without the misrepresentation of the media in the first place. Without any misrepresentation from the media, will it still conceive an equal amount of extremism? If this is the case, then I will submit to you, that I am wrong, and I will continue with my research.

It is important to understand that I am only seeking answers, and never have I blatantly accuse anything or anyone that should bait any hate in the first place.

It's the same thing. Not about the individual, its about the "how" that you are asking. I don't think people here should conceive the how and tell you. You do it yourself. Or better yet, don't at all.

I don't mean to accuse you, but you sound really fishy, man.. talking about "how other religions can also be equally misrepresented by the media". This is NOT the question you should be asking in order to understand this whole picture.

"By understanding how other religions can also be equally misrepresented by the media, perhaps we will be able to eradicate or lessen the effects of Islamophobia in the world."
I told you: We should NOT fight hate with hate. Your idea is how does one put hate on one (other religions) to lessen hate on another (Islam)? You don't do this.

And as I said before: One "conceive extremism" NOT after "misrepresentation from the media". Your question is based on your misunderstanding, that's why no one can answer it.
It seems like you don't quite understand what is extremism. You seem to see "extremism" to mean "prejudice" or "discrimination".

HOW is not the question you should ask. But you did, that's why I said you sound fishy and dangerous.

You should ask WHY. Why does the media portray Islam in a bad way.
The answer is IGNORANCE.
The answer is FEAR.
The answer is ARROGANCE.

alright..

Well then, I have gathered enough understanding from your attitude towards how hypothetical questions can be considered as "dangerous", instead of the attempt to even understand it. I shall proceed further in the RWI section, hopefully with people who are more level-headed and prepared to think about the issue instead of evading the question altogether. I apologize for any misunderstandings and inconveniences caused, but I sincerely think that the calling it a "dangerous" question isn't as dangerous as the act of blatant evasion of the questions in the first place.

I don't think the question is dangerous. I think the act of not questioning is dangerous. Different perspectives, I know. Until then, I fear for what might what happen to me if I continue asking (since my questions have already been labelled as "dangerous"), and as a result I shall refrain from asking my questions here in this thread, or in any Muslim community ever. I don't want to be labelled as "dangerous".

Until such questions do not bring upon the fear of being "dangerous", I will not return to this thread. Farewell, and thank you very much for your time.

I just disagree with the need to ask the HOW. To solve this problem, we should ask the WHY. I didn't say don't question at all, but ask the right question; the why.

That's my opinion.

Sigh....
if you really looked into the european history, you would find that the jews were once treated with hate and associated with plague carriers and a lot of maladies. So much that walls were built to confine them.

Ah yes. Pendapat mmg ada byk khilaf dikalangan ulama', but doesnt mean all of them wrong. Its like cars, one maybe modify it to be fast, but another would modify it to be fuel efficient. Then again, both are not wrong, still gets from point A to point B. As long as it follows the Quran and Sunnah though.

Mcm beza 4 mazhab kita, x salah nk ikut mazhab lain, tp akhlak mengikut mazhab setempat pun kena ikut. Which explains its preferred not to follow other mazhabs in our country since we practice mazhab syafie, mengundang fitnah pada diri sendiri itu adalah haram.

Sorry for the misinterpretation.

Naah, it's okay. All good.
Kalau ada rule "kena ikut mazhab setempat" tu memang aku tidak setuju lah. Kepercayaan kita, fikiran masing2.

Tapi, dari segi akhlak, basically tiada beza yang signifikan pun, sama ja 4 mazhab utama sunni, boleh bersetuju dan bersatu. Cuma dari segi usulul fiqh, situ yang biasa ada berlainan pendapat.
Yang penting jangan sampai kita berpecah atas pendapat yang berbeza, tapi bersatu atas pendapat yang sama.

hello kawan sekalian
nak tanya sikit tentang sunat bole?
masa sunat saya punya 2", sekarang tiba2 makin memanjang :confuse:

(Al-Ikhlaas 112:3) "Ia tiada beranak, dan Ia pula tidak diperanakkan;"

Dah bebas...Tak terkurung lagi.

underwear x bole pakai dah.... sangat ketat
i dun wan wear boxer

not sure if this answers the questions, but in the case of islam, it gained prominence due to the number of followers which are spread worldwide, instead of mostly focus to a specific geographic region (i.e:- hinduism, shintoism and buddhism). thus the level of exposure, representation and misrepresentation greatly differs.

it might not be religion, but i suppose, a similar analogy to your case would be that of communism and its media representation during the cold war. even to us in malaysia, the stigma remains.

and btw, im assuming, when we talked about "media," its the western media.
