Hi there,

To me and many Musilms  as well, we don't hate people of the Western World. What I really hates is the way the governments of the Western World deal with us imposing themselves as patrons. Who give this laibilty? I don't know, our government passive actions and silent alliance towards whatever these governments do in our lands take most of the blame I think. Yet I don't justify and approve the actions done by those minor people who held themselves as Muslims and are called by others as extermists. Islam and Quran have nothing to do with it, I can assure you, but rather the oppressed actions taken against some Musilms in Palestine, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Bosna, some countries which were a part of the past Soviet Union plus the way the western governments handle our own matters play the most significant role. If those people use Islam as their coverage, they just give Western governments the chance to interfere and reform the way of our own life. It's not for me to judge them but God is all-knowing and the only One who judges with fairness.

Allow Pidr1nhu to answer your questions concerning Islam. I am going to put my answer in points to make it much clearer:

1. Your talk about the globalization and its deadly results is true, nevertheless this doesn't give the right to interfere and attack.

2. The call you state for pursuing better standards does actually touch a raw nerve. That's very true. Yet I want to put more emphasis on the fact that goodness of any country starts from the goodness of its own people (particularly those who assume power). so no outsiders please, because as we all know no one would ever place at the head other's interests than his own (not even me!)

3. Keep in mind that No present Islamic country represent the proper Islamic State  (as it was in the time of the prophet Mohammad peace be upon him), In addition, some people doing things in the name of Islam are not really acting as Muslims. And there are certain prejudices and biases against Islam in the media and politics.

4.The Holy Quran doesn't mention any action to be taken against western countries. It states rules which as Muslims believe to be most righteous and definitely are not practiced. Jihad means fighting and struggling against wrong doing, evil and oppression; it is the fight whether internal or external against all evils. Islam permits fighting in self-defense, in defense of the religion, or by those who have been expelled forcibly from their homes. At the same time, Islam requires one to treat one's enemy mercifully. It lays down strict rules of combat which include prohibitions against harming civilians and against destroying crops, trees, and livestock. Islam also requires that if an enemy declares his desire to end hostilities and seek peace, the Muslims must do the same. You found in this holy book "Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits. God does not love transgressors." [2:19] . In short "Jihad means WAR against TERRIORISM" .See that's the true Islam. Now let's compare this with the current situation. In those areas where our rights to live freely is broken, Jihad is our higher purpose like in Palestine, Afghanistan, Bosna and other countries as well. But those actions taken against civilians in western countries (This's completely against Islam) which are done by some in the name of Islam, I believe they are totally wrong. They just bring more ruin to our countries and an excuse for others to intrude. Their actions are not supported by majority of Muslims, nor by Muslims scholars. And God is the One who judges them rightfully.

Do you think it's nice to see your brothers and sisters expelled forcibly from their homes , have their beloved ones killed, some one make a great fun and mockery of your own life and beliefs, see others killing your entire people just to purify the countries from your existence,shut your mouth so as not to speak the truth, use you as a means to prevail and get rid of their own enemies, put in jails to please other powerful countries, say "oh guys you should do this and not do this or else…!.", hold themselves as sponsors terminating your ability to think and behave???   

See Pidr1nhu, It's OPPRESSION either external or internal which flares up the masses.

Regards,

P.S Thanks Pidr1nhu for showing sincere desire to know more about the Islamic point of veiw (that's at least what I felt). Hope this helps.

Hi again,

I believe in the necessity of a turnabout as well. And may be you'd be astonished if I tell that this turnabout in our Muslim nation would be brought about by committing back to the true Islam. I can tell as a Muslim living through this turbulent world that there's a sense of awareness among Muslims youth that our situation would be amended by what amended the early life of our ancestors. Islam has come in an age which was well-known as an age of ignorance, people was used to burying their girl babies when born and racial feeling and many bad things pervading  as well. Islam elevated this society from the mire and mud. And we were living our golden years while Europeans living their dark ages. Yet as Muslims we should take the correct action not speculate and regret that great life nor we should interpret the instructions of Islam as we please and use it as a coverage to justify wrong doings and have grudge against non-Muslims civilians. That wouldn't bring peace to us or to others. And perhaps you think what Islam has to do with improving social, political life (while most western people begin to lose faith and firmly believe in the separation of religion and state)  because Islam provides a complete way of life not only spiritually but socially and politically. Anyhow organized groups are needed indeed and most of them are playing an effective role in the progress of my country. But I can't see the resemblance between Iraq and Brazil. (Most of my information about Brazil come from football ) But  I saw more than one documentaries about life in Brazil, those slums as you say in complete comparison to those richly neighborhood and life in Brazil's prisons. But the situation in Iraq is much more complicated, most times people in Iraq have got mixed and confused who's their enemy? a horrible intrusion by American and British troops and by Iran, distributing Iraq between Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites. Who's really taking control?. We have an old saying I partly agree with ( a land controlled by a dictator is much better than a land without control) I who live a peaceful life away from Iraq have lived that terrible confusion day by day.

My Regards,
