Salam Alaikum everyone,
The title of the thread is self-explanatory. I hope that we can use this thread to post and clear any popular/widely-known/generally accepted misconceptions about Islam. ......
*MISCONCEPTION #1: *Muslims are violent, terrorists and/or extremists. **This is the biggest misconception in Islam, no doubt resulting from the constant stereotyping and bashing the media gives Islam.
.......
Politics in so called "Muslim countries" may or may not have any Islamic basis. Often dictators and politicians will use the name of Islam .......
Please add more, and i will too. inshaAllah
Teggy yara,
This thread is akin to Neru's actions when Rome was burning down to the ground.
You know what he was doing at that important juncture of Greek history?
He was telling everyone
"Sub Acha hai"
"Fikar na karo"
"Bansuri bajao".
He was playing flute.
Similarly when faced with Islamists threat that is burning down Muslim countries one by one, many gentle kind hearted Muslims like yourself are doing the exact same thing just like Nero.
"Sub Acha hai".
"Fikar na karo"
"namazain paroh".
Funny (and to some degree, based on ignorance) that you say
Politics in so called "Muslim countries" may or may not have any Islamic basis. Often dictators and politicians will use the name of Islam .......
Do you even know what you are writing?
Do you think Imam Khomeni and Imam Kaaba are mere dictators and politicians?
Do you forget that "millions of Muslims" follow the edicts by Mullah form Kaba and ayatullahs from Qum?
Can you just blame all that on "dictators and politicians" and go back to "bansuri bajana" or worse "to Khawab-e-Khargosh"?
This is precisely what's wrong with mainstream Muslims. They need to look at their inner sanctums first, they need to stand up AGAINST their own Mullahs,
But instead they have a tendency to stand up
"For Mullahs and defend them in front of the global opinion".
You think global opinion making is so $tupeed that they can't look beyond the veil of propaganda that "Islam main sub Acha hai"?
They do my friend. They do.
It is time that anyone who wants to project Islam, must as his first step reject Mullahism, and global Islamism.
Only then there is a thin ray of hope, that Muslims countries may recover.
However it is very thin ray of hope. The fear is that one by one many Muslims countries will go the way Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan, and Islamic Emirates of Somalia, and Islamic Emirates of Yemen have gone already.
