Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

In the recent article by you on Love Jihad, you also stated Islam has become more unpopular today than it has ever been. Why do you feel so?
Yes, Islam is unpopular today.

The Middle East is on fire; there is war everywhere.
There are a lot of extremist people from the Muslim community using Quran for their means and ends, thereby giving the entire religion a bad name. Islam is a religion of peace and submission but because of some people, it is perceived as a religion of violence.
If you go up to an average American or British citizen and tell them you are a Muslim, they look at you suspiciously. It’s not a good feeling.

@KKF Aren’t you seeing these problems among Muslims? :hmmm:

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

how many exactly? Sweeping statements.

lets see how many muslims are there…ummm around 2 billions. I assume A LOT would be somewhere near 1.5 billion?

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

ISIS, AlQaida, Boko Haram on international level… and if we see locally, Lashkar e Jhangvi, TTP and list goes on.

There is definitely a problem with our thinking that we support parties who distribute shaheed medals for terrorists.

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

Muslims are also the most prosecuted community in the world so it’s totally unfair to completely ignore the other side of the coin. It’s not Quran or religion that’s turning people into extremists, it’s the injustice and oppression done to them on daily basis.

you have to understand the Hedonistic plus secular mindset of Saif when he openly asks for eradication of laws.

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

Agree. But did Said say Quran promotes terrorism? Its these groups who justify their terrorist activities by bringing peculiar interpretation of Quran.

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

dude many psychos when they kill claim god asked them too. or neighbour’s dog told them too.
Who would you blame then ?

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

People would justify revenge using violence regardless of the Quran. Like most people, he’s looking at the problem without talking about the root cause.

also, I find it hypocritical that he praises extremist people like Modi.

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

Do we treat these groups as psychos? No. They are all free to propagate their conspiracy theories and make normal people psycho. Why it is a problem that we can;t accept that there are black sheep among us, who are doing more damage than outsiders?

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

Again, nothing is black and white. Please do read up on the reasons why young people are joining ISIS.

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

Its his problem to whom he likes, dislikes or support. I do agree to what he said to the extent of certain people among us, who are promoting bad image of our religion

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

This is not the discussion.
When you feel like quran is making them bad, then look at you self, why quran did not make you bad???
Stupid dumb argument which muslims adopted from Christian evangelists.

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

Well then what goes on in muslim world shouldn’t be his problem either. He’s not even muslim or a political analyst or activist.

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

We can accept that there are black sheep, but it becomes a problem when non-Muslims view the smattering of black sheep as true representatives of Islam and the Sunnah thus perpetuating negative stereotypes and fueling hatred. And sometimes the black sheep are established by the opponents of Islam to tarnish the faith…why is that so hard to believe?

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

I think Saif didn’t say that. Our belief system is so fragile that we can’t even want to hear something that is reality. Can we claim that every person on this earth who call himself Muslim is angel and has nothing to do with terrorism and portraying bad image of Islam. That is what Saif was saying making some sense apart from other stupid things.

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

How this statement is different from the statement by Saif?

‘Islam is a religion of peace and submission but because of some people, it is perceived as a religion of violence.’

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

dude no khirey.
Say clearly, is islam(quran/hadees) cause people to go bad ?

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

Is it really? Is it because of “some” people or is it because of media goons like him?

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

It is not the topic. Neither Saif said this, nor I said this.

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

so all these group doesn’t exist. World is suffering from hallucination?

Re: Islam Is Unpopular, says Indian Actor: Saif Ali Khan

i’m starting to see how the blasphemy riots happen. :hmm:
