alright what about the outspoken hezbollah supporter? and there was another extreme muslim character in the UK saying some insulting things about a muslim holding a prestigious position in UK politics and so many similar types that are always shown in the media.

plus hareem, i’ve seen muslims themselves taking quranic verses out of context and not really understanding them before using them as a way of writing/saying hateful things about nonmuslims or america

let me show you an example of a verse that’s been used quite a few times by muslims or ignorant ones, i need to find it online. give me a second, i used to have it memorized but it’s been a while since i read a quranic verse…and you tell me if what i know about it is correct or not or whether it is how some muslims perceive it.

@Nisha25

“O, Prophet, strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh against them…their abode is hell, and evil is their destination,” (Holy Qur-an 9:73; read 9:74).

not sure about whether it is the exact verse but this one is constantly used by ignorants to show their hate against america and nonmuslims. it is taken out of context right? as far as i know and have found out from quite a few knowledgeable muslims it applies only to a situation where the prophet was attacked by a small group of nonmuslims that were trying to harm him and it doesn’t apply to all nonmuslims but quite a few muslims use it for hate propaganda against america…

wish knowledgeable muslims would correct those muslim or inform them

Let me clarify few things please:

1. Muslims are asleep and they need to wake up and start defending Islam with wisdom and educate the West but before that they need to educate themselves.

2. They also need to educate other muslims who believe in hating America because of misinterpreting Quran, but what if that is just another myth created by media and in reality most muslims hate America because of her foreign policy?

3. There are irrational lunatics in every community and media intentionally picks up those lunatics from muslim community to represent islam.

4. This is the first time I heard the name of Malik Ali and that was through the American anti-muslim media.

5. Malik Ali and alikes are very few in numbers but media makes you believe that “there are so many of them”.

6. people can quote and twist it from any religious scripture and if we come across anyone misquoting Quran to justify evil or proving Islam evil then we should clarify their misconceptions.

7. There is an ongoing battle between correct Muslim representation versus media picking up the bad sheep, but this should not make us concerned, we should just carry on doing our bit and hope that its enough. If they turn against us for being Muslim then we know that Allah (SWT) is enough for us and we should not really worry too much either, because that over apologetic mindset is just as unhealthy as being radical.

I also disagree with the behaviour of some Muslims who think we should ignore the accusations on Islam and keep quiet, they think that they have good neighbors and everyone is nice at work with them so there is no chance that anything bad will happen to them personally so they have no reason to get involved. If an anti semitic book is published the jewish community do protest by writing letters to publishers so why shouldn’t we when it happens to us? Just browse around your local bookshop and compare the books written about Islam and books written about other religions you’ll find hardly any positive book on islam and hardly any negative book on other religions including satanism.
