Let us prove all those who link Islam with violence wrong
Contributed by G.S. Qureshi
Does verbal criticism of Islam or Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) justify setting churches afire in the West Bank or killing an Italian nun in Somalia? Why do we have such fragile egos?Do I love Allah and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) any less than before the Pope made those remarks?
No! I am completely secure within my faith despite these troubled times for Muslims and no matter what the Pope theorizes about Islam. The acts of our Prophet himself teach tolerance. According to the traditions, a lady used to throw garbage at him daily and since he did not have a fragile ego he did not choose to react at all. He was secure about his mission and could not have cared less. Should not we, his followers start to act and behave in the same manner? As long as I am comfortable about my faith does it matter what opinions the Pope holds about my faith. Yes probably the Pope should offer a deep apology but the demands should be made via a dialogue not with violence. And that is when we need rational Muslims (I find many bloggers in this category) to pen down their sentiments to prove to the West that Muslims are a reasonable, peace loving community wherever we are. The violent outrage only reinforces the stereotypes about Islam in today’s world.
I am not discounting the exercise of grievance at all. Yes we should react but with a peaceful dialogue. No matter how deeply one feels about any issue, civilized (yes we are) people should behave in a civilized and a peaceful manner.
Also a large majority of Muslims remain isolated from people belonging to other faiths. During these times of a distinct divide between Islam and the West that is the worst thing that we can do. Muslims should interact with people of other faiths. Interaction and dialogue inculcates tolerance in one’s self. Isolation will deprive the world from getting to know the true spirit of Islam and thus all the stereotypes will keep getting reinforced. Let us not wage a war of religion rather one of reason and tolerance. Let us engage in a dialogue. Let us prove all those who link Islam with violence wrong.
The trick, if there is such a thing, is variety. Make certain you collect a steady and varied collection of links
Heh, kind of weird how you were featured as one of the top 25 most promising blogs in 2012 here: http://dr.tl/CommissionsBreakthrough but you have done nothing about it…
I just want to say I am beginner to blogs and seriously savored your blog site. Probably I’m likely to bookmark your blog . You absolutely come with wonderful posts. Many thanks for sharing your web site.
Utterly written articles , Really enjoyed looking at .
Kurye olarak hizmet veren kişiler, bulundukları lokasyondaki her adrese en kısa sürede ulaşma yolunu bilirler. Üstelik verilen bu görevi hava, trafik ve buna benzer diğer olumsuz şartlardan etkilenmeden yerine getirirler. Yani iş hayatı başta olmak üzere hayatın hemen her alanında önemli görevleri üstlenebilir ve başarıyla yerine getirebilirler. Özellikle büyük şehirlerdeki trafik kaosu ve adres konusundaki karmaşa göze alınırsa, kurye hizmetlerinden faydalanmanın bazı durumlarda zorunlu hale geleceği anlaşılabilir. Örneğin İstanbul’un bir noktasından diğer bir noktasına acil şekilde önemli bir evrak ulaştırmak gerektiğinde ya da hastanızın ihtiyacı olan ilacı acil ve güvenli bir şekilde ulaştırmak gerektiğinde, İstanbul moto kurye hizmetimizden faydalanarak sorununuza çözüm üretebilirsiniz.
I conceive you have remarked some very interesting details , appreciate it for the post.
Lovely website! I am loving it!! Will come back again. I am taking your feeds also.
I must show some appreciation to you just for rescuing me from this type of circumstance. Because of browsing through the the net and obtaining opinions that were not pleasant, I assumed my entire life was well over. Existing without the solutions to the problems you’ve resolved by means of your good site is a critical case, and the ones that might have in a negative way damaged my entire career if I had not discovered your blog. Your actual capability and kindness in dealing with the whole lot was very helpful. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t discovered such a subject like this. I can also at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks a lot very much for the expert and sensible guide. I won’t be reluctant to refer your web blog to any person who would need guidance about this issue.
Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research about this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such fantastic info being shared freely out there.
