Is it easy to be a muslim?

 I don't think that it is easy to be a muslim. Everybody can show itself as a muslem and we are not able to know what he/she have inside. In muslim rule I think if you think something wrong in doing something it is also sin. Muslim is not vail,salla, beard and pray but it also has many thing that don't know nonmuslim people. Every religious is good and do not has something bad but the huming being can not be as the religious clime from them.

thanks Dew..  They are clever and understand that the world is so complicated that it can't suit the teachings of a single book. i really smiled, i do believe that no real religion book existing now but Qura'n, will u change ur favoredness ? your personal belief is everything to you . i believe that the Jew and Chrestianity were real religions but now they're not, but i don't hit any one to be Muslim, every one can choose his way to live unless hurting others, and every one has his responsibility about his thoughts. i think u won't be happy to meet me any more

I think that is the greatest problem .That is why the Michael Baigent( the writer of the book Holy Blood and Holy Grail) or Dan Brown(Writer of the book Da Vinci Code ) live peacefully in thier home and writer like Taslima Nasrin or Salman Rushdie have to live a life of a fugive.What was relevant in 600 AD I think that should be modified with the time.Otherwise don't take injections. capsules etc when you are ill take Unani medicine because your prophet did not advise to do this.

Another thing which always makes me surprised that often I find in newspaper that "Islaam is under threat".Why a religion which has been existing for 1500 years and almost one third of the population of the world belongs to that religion and their poduction rate of population is quite high feels in danger in trivial issues like ,women's dresses or their behavier or joining politics, is a great mistery to me.

One question I'd like to ask:

Who do you think is arousing all these questions ( about trivial things as you said) ? Is it Muslims? Is it Muslims who prohibit wearing veils in schools as in France or planning to do so in public places as in UK? Is it Muslims who frequently claim a break of human rights merely because of not joining women in politics? and many trivial issues? I daresay that many trivial people arouse these trivial questions for indulging trivial Muslims in trivial defense and that's really what is happening, driving them away from many real problems. Many of these questions are concerned with tradition of the social life and  not Islam.  

Do we doubt the originality of our religion or the wisedom of its rules? to speak for me and millions of Muslims : Certainly No. The problem starts: first with interference, second with those who claim to be true Muslims, third with those whose interest is to add fuel to fire.

 Who is now obsessing with the idea of Islam or Muslims to the degree that we hear about the notion of Islamic-phobia??  

I see that I ask too many questions. Sorry.

My Regards,

Maybe the answer is not clear for them. And maybe this is the very reason why there are too many questions about Islam itself. It's not easy to understand it properly. And there are too many people who want to twist muslim teachings in order to manipulate the people. At least I respect the people who want to know the opinion of the others and not only listen to the ones who tell what to do and think. And your opinion is one that should be thought about!

It is misery for all of us that we guage the cultures of other societies with the yardstick of our own. It seems trivial to a person from western world  that why an eastern woman wears shuttlecock but for eastern people from arabia or subcontinent it has a symbolic meaning. Similarly a person from arab countries would realy question mini skirt of western women.

            Hence, every society has its mores, folkways and valus which they will never bear to change. If you thrust upon an Asian country to allow their women to go into the market places in mini skirt, it will be obnoxious for them, and no body must imagine it a trivial matter as it is a part of their culture which is as much difficult to change as is difficult to twist iron.

Then i ask you, Dear, why you people have become so much ethnocentric to measure everything in Muslim societies with the yardstick of western culture? Doesn't it compel one to say that the people like you have forgotten the christian message that God created man in his own image. And why? Because he uses his judgement.

Again I ask you when a community has been living for 1500 years in a certain way and have adopted certain mores, folkways and values, wouldn't they feel threat to their culture and their existence, when you try to change their attitude? Please reply if you can.

I don't think anyone should impose the will or ideas on anyone. I am not going to tell the muslims or any other culture what to do and say. And I don't think it right for anyone be it a Russian or an American to come to any of the muslim countries and claim to be allowed to wear any clothes or do things that might insult the feelings of the people of the country. If I come to the country I would ask an advise of a wise person and learn what to do and how it is necessary to do it according to the cultural values of its people. Because I respect the people who live there.

Why come to the country with some other culture and claim only about your own interests? Doesn't it look like an abuse of the Human rights of the other people? We speak only about the threat to the Islam. Why not speak about the threat to other religious groups in this case?
