TAKE OVER BLOG!

Asalamualaykum Warahmatullah, 

Todays blog will be written my sister. 

The Media and Islam 

Two things that co-exist together side by side.

However the media is stereotyping Islam and associating all of us with the extremist group Isis.

This misconception is one that needs to be cleared up as people seem to be believing everything the media is telling them about how Isis is ALL Muslims and that Islam is the reason behind all of these attacks when in fact they are just using it as a scapegoat for their actions that, if you think about it, have no real reason to be carried out. 

This whole situation is so ridiculous and to make it worse, the government have bombed Syria hoping to rid the world of Isis. They have done these actions without thinking of the consequences/how Isis are going to retaliate. 

What if they decide to bomb Britain?

What if they do something even worse?

What if?

This is a situation that effects all of us Muslims today in our day to day lives and I feel that all the decisions that the government makes to try and make it better, will only backfire and result in a bigger catastrophe. This is a topic that my friends and i seem to talk about quite a lot and they agree that the government and the world is so messed up right now. They also think that if this carries on they way it is, then we may end up in world war 3.

There is a debate/speech done by Mehdi Hasan called 'Islam is a religion of peace' that highlights all of these points that I've made and more in much more detail.  If you have just 10 or more minutes to spare please listen to not only his side of the arguments but also the opposing sides arguments to get the whole picture of what they think about the topic. 

Sumayah xx
