assalamualikum all,
im so tired of all the misconceptions any islamophobic comments that are always floating about in the western comunities. honestly, people here have so much negative and wrong statements concerning islam, fuelled by the media. were a constant target, day in, day out. you would think that in this day and age people would use available resources to find out the facts of islam rather than through heresay. just last week i was reading in the papers the claim 'muslims are trying to take over britain' and 'we must combat islamism'. people are so anti-islamic. its funny how its okay to walk about the street almost entirely naked and yet if someone is covered they are regarded as being a 'block to communication' (if they are wearing niqab) (a co-worker told me this in work today). she also said that the yahood had a right to take palestine as it was their land in the first place. (nevermind all the innocents killed in the process).
everywhere you look you see images of naked, skinny women, caked in make-up. girls here are becoming sexualised and such a young age and are brainwashed into believing that looking like these women is the key to happiness. no longer is a woman judged for her intellect or character, but rather her looks and ability to flirt. is that not opression!!? adultery is considered the norm too.
every day here is like a struggle, a jihad against all the filth society throws at you, in addition to all the anti-islam comments made.
it reminds me of the hadeeth: islam started a strange religion in makkah, and will return as a strange religion, so toubah for the strangers. the companions asked, what is toubah and the prophet (saas) said it is a place in jannah reserved for those who practice islam when the people are opposed to it. (not exact words). may Allah make us of those who have our place reserved for in jannah. ameen.
