FEAR OF ISLAM

Asalamualaykum Warahmatullah,

For the past few days I have watched two documentaries on BBC iplayer, one called 'Is Britain Racist?' and the other 'We Want Our Country Back'.

There was so much talk about Muslims, especially, are 'taking over' and soon Britain wont be Britain and soon it will be 'Islam'. Not once did they consider the fact that a lot of people who are completely British are the ones reverting to Islam. Why is that the case? 

Another issue that was being raised was this idea that Muslims should go back to their country. 

It is so annoying when people are so ignorant to say that Muslims need to go back to their country as though 'Islam' is a COUNTRY. No. Islam is a RELIGION. How can Muslims living in Britain go back to their country when their country is ENGLAND. 

People are becoming afraid of Islam as the fastest growing religion in the world, and not once have they stopped to ask why it is fast growing? Surely there must be some element of truth. 

But no, instead, all you see is people literally picking at a particular word or phrase that they have just picked out of thin air and use it to jump to conclusions about Islam. 

They pick out phrases so out of context that when they mention it, they sound so ridiculous you almost feel to laugh. 

This ideology that Islam is aggressive, when in fact it literally encapsulates peace is just ludicrous. 

This ignorant speech that people like to talk about because they follow new outlets such as Fox News like its a reliable source of information.

The fact that the people who you see joining clubs such as the EDL are people who have never in their life interacted with a muslim, let alone had a decent conversation with one to even base their radical behaviour on. 

They antagonise people to get a reaction and when they get a reaction that they initially fused, they immediately make it seem as though it was the muslim who was in fault and who is aggressive.

These people almost want to seem important by making it seem as though they are targeted when they're probably deluded into that assumption. 

No-one cares. Why are we even putting people into categories. Why do we need to pinpoint an individuals race or religion.

Why do people have double standards about immigration. They don't want anyone to come to this country yet they feel as though they have the freedom to move elsewhere if they please. 

Mate, that is the same thing. 

I cant even comprehend the absolute ignorance of some people.

I would have more respect for someone who made a conscious effort to learn about Islam inside and out and who find found fault with it after extensive research. Even non-muslims who have read about the Prophet (pbuh) have commented on the fact that Islam is a beautiful religion.

So why are people following these ignorant groups.

Well... I have no words.
