[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello All,

A 22 page thread titled, "Tell me about Islam" began as what appeared to be an intelligent and sober discourse on what Islam is truly about. A Muslim woman who called herself "Muslima" offered insight into her faith. Very quickly, a handful of islamophobes swept in on her to object to her explanation of Islamic ideology and principles and they began what amounted to the systematic vilification of an entire religion that is beloved to billions of people. . . .

It is best to learn about Islam from one who lives it day to day and practices it in good faith. When a topic is not clear, seek clarification from primarily the Quran itself because [b][u]only the Quran is believed by Muslims to be the only word of God[/u] [really? you sure about that?][/b]. It is true that [b][u]many Muslims rely on the hadith, which are the actions and words of Prophet Muhammad, but even some of these may be unreliable [/u][/b]because they are the purported words of the Prophet as remembered by his companions and others. Sometimes hadith provide valuable context to Quranic principles, however. . .

In all fairness, even Muslims have taken passages from the Quran out of context. ISIS justifies the beheading of its prisoners by misinterpreting the Quran. [b][u]Some scholars, not all but some, particularly in Muslim countries, have also misinterpreted the Quran[/u]. [/b]Remember that Islam originated in Arabia and [b][u]pre-Islamic Arabia was a hedonistic, uncivilized, and brutally corrupt place[/u][/b]. Deeply rooted cultural beliefs and traditions permeated their thinking and [b][u]even today, people still cling to these old traditions and views[/u][/b]. As such, [b][u]the Islam practiced by some people in Muslim countries is not necessarily pure Islam or true Islam[/u][/b]. It is influenced by a deeply entrenched, patriarchal belief system. Thus, examining the work of scholars from these countries in particular will not accurately explain true Islam. However, this is what these islamophobes will do and want the public to do, because it simply supports their cause for exclusionary practices, prejudicial and racial profiling, and their own deeply held  philosophical religious beliefs. . .

Thanks.
