I would not trust this document though, for it is one sided. He is favoring the Qur’an (doc 5). As I stated above, they spread through conquest which is one of the hardest way to receive but easiest to believe (doc 5, 6, 7, 8). The Muslims simply fought their enemies, or their disbelievers. This is a form of conquest because non-Islamic members don’t want to battle them so they convert.
I’d be doing the same thing for which I am arguing by classifying everyone as racists or ignorant. Not the case at all and never will be. Over the years it has calmed down slowly but surely. I see people defending each other now who aren’t even the same religion or race, and it’s so beautiful. There are more cases of religious hate crimes related to Islam in Europe than in America, which is surprising considering America was the one most affected by 9/11.
The same cannot be said of modern Islamic states and societies, which lag behind international standards of equality, democracy, and human rights”(32). However, he expresses challenges the opinion of Fadl by disagreeing that literalist readings are exclusively by puritan extremists. It seemed that Fadl’s claims that the only group of people who are seen to take literal interpretations of the Qur’an are those that express and support a violent and intolerant approach to tolerant Muslims and non- Muslims, stating "Narrow and illiberal readings of the Qur'an are not exclusively the province of fringe elements”(32). I
In my opinion, the penalties for hate crimes should continue to be more severe than that of a regular crime because so many innocent people are injured and even killed simply because they are different. People should have the right to live in America free of fear that something will happen to them simply because they were not born a certain color, they practice a different religion or that they happen to be
The French firmly believe in the separation of church and state, which has led to fear of organized religion influencing the actions of its people. When you combine this with the recent terrorist attacks blamed on fundamental Islamism the French have a distrust of their own Islamic citizens and immigrants. Many government officials who are also elitist within France fuel this distrust. What Giry is suggesting is that Islam has very little
Government intervention into the media is a hot topic these days, filled with controversy and blame. Every group is pointing the finger at another group. Parents are blaming the government for not helping, government is blaming the media for not censoring material, and others are blaming the parents for not censoring and protecting their children. Our society is getting nowhere. there is no solid proof that the media causes violence, and although parents do a lot to help and protect their children, there are still some steps that can be taken to protect their children against violent and sexual material.
Also do not forget the fact that Saudi Arabia is a religious country . Many people in Saudi Arabia agree that women shouldn’t drive a car because it is so suspicious . They believe this , because in my thinking , Saudi Arabia didn’t developed early like the other countries . If we look to the fact that Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country or an Arabic country as reason to prevent women from driving that’s certainly wrong , because all the other Muslims countries in the Arabic world allow women to drive . But some people with the entrenched mindsets make religion an excuse to prevent driving .It does not say any thing in Qur’an about that .
The development of religious fundamentalism caused many conflicts, some minor and others major. The Taliban which is one of the Mujahedeen groups that formed during the war are a religious dictatorship that believes they have the only right in interpreting the Holy book of Muslims. The Taliban believed in getting rid of anyone who had a different religious view including more scientific beliefs. Severe punishment including death was enforced upon those who did not follow the Taliban’s rules. The Taliban was also the cause for why women weren’t allowed to be educated thus leading to the Malala Yousafzai incident.
For example; making pilgrimages to tombs or special mosques, venerating caves, trees, stones, using votive and sacrificial offerings and praying to saints were all to be banned[ii]. All of these practices were accepted at that time and these were associated with the Islamic religion but the Wahhabs considered these to be unacceptable. The current Western societies and their secular behaviors are even more anathema to the current Wahhabs. They are against secularism, modernity, and the enlightenment. In order to fight the anti-modernism, anti-secularism, they have become extremists and do not fear the use of
The scrupulous care through which Islam has differentiated between correct and incorrect in reference of earning capital is not available in any other system whether it is legal and social. Islam rejects and condemns all those means and sources of livelihood that are illegal, immoral, and unethical and harms the interest of other people in the society or society as a whole. Islamic law unconditionally castoffs the manufacturing and trade of liquor and all such items that are toxic to health and against Sharia. In addition to it, some others like adultery, professional dancing, betting, trades of a hypothetical or deceitful type, dealings in which the advantage of one party is categorically certain while other part is left unclear and dubious, and price manipulation by withholding the sale of the requirements of
