Definitely. I think I’ve been seeing some weird ideology emerging where so and so is declared non muslim and making it okay to verbally abuse and physically harm innocent people. Empathy is just dying out and the sheer ego of it all is astounding.

My super religiously knowledgeable grandmother flat out said to my mother that instead of focusing on making me a better Muslim it would better to make me a good human being. This might seen strange coming from a hafiz e Quran lady but as I’m seeing people steamrollering over everyone else to proclaim their piety or doing the opposite of their own teachings I can see why her stance was such.

I think there are good and bad people everywhere. In my personal life I have not found Muslims to be intolerant. StrangeOne i am sure you are like the beacon of tolerance in your city. I think desi Muslims, whether Pakistani or Indian, are amongst the most tolerant. There is also the Sufi heritage of the subcontinent.
