A salaam alaikum wa ramatula hi wa barackatu. Im Muhammad, a white canadian Muslim. Kafaholak Achie? I get hate from whites all the time calling me a race traitor and I know it is hard to deal with. Keep on walking fisibiillah and jazak Allahu khyr inshallah.
But yes, i also find it annoying when people think that all Muslims are violent and/or want to pass oppressive laws.
I'm not a Muslim myself, but it's absolutely idiotic when people accuse all Muslims of being terrorists because of some passages in the Quran. Ironically, most of those critics are Christians whose holy book promotes all manner of genocide and slavery. Such opinions are more prevalent online and in Europe than here in the US, but it's a problem, regardless.
@cyberpolice9000, yea there's parts of the Quran that dealt with defensive battles the early Muslims fought against the hostile Meccans and their allies, Islam is pretty clear regarding rules of war, and people who distort Islamic teachings to push a violent political agenda (like Bin Laden) are wrong
Whatever it is, there are passages that do (or can be interpreted to) promote violence, and however frequent, they are exploitable and are exploited by people who are (or perceive to be) desperate. I don't specifically know which passages those are; I've never read the Quran apart from a few passages people have included in Youtube videos.
@cyberpolice9000, oo I've read the entire Quran translation in English, only recited 10 juz in Arabic though, I've only memorized about a dozen surahs
Are you learning Arabic? I would assume that majority of Muslims would at least try to learn Arabic if the consensus among Muslims is that the Quran is truly holy only when read in Arabic.
@cyberpolice9000, I have learned a tiny bit but I'm kind of lazy, but when reading Quran it's mostly just memorization, I know people who have memorized the entire Quran but dont really know Arabic, most Muslims aren't good Arabic speakers unless they're from an Arab country, lived/studied/worked in an Arab country, or studied at a madrassa that teaches Arabic, most Muslims in the world are of South/Southeast Asian origin as well and speak languages like Indonesian, Malay, Bengali, Urdu, Punjabi
@Troy62486 a dozen suras is good bro. I have been Muslim for a year and 12 days and I can only recite Al_Fatiah, Al Falaq, AN-Nas,AL-Iklas,AL-Kuwthr, and Trying to learn my first real one Ya-Seen. Ive been going to an Islamic school (Im in the kindergarten class with the 6 year olds but hey...) to learn Arabic. I think it is much easier for Arabs to memorize the Qur'an than non Arabs. May Allah Subhannah Wa Ta'ala increase our knowledge.
@NWONoWorldOrderNWO, I have some Arabic learning books, it's fun writing in Arabic but I write super slow lol, I studied Spanish for a while too when I was younger
Yes, I know that 2 of the holiest cities in Islam are located in Saudi, and I like aspects of the culture as well, particularly the music (mostly Mohammed Abdu, but I like Arab music in general).
That said, loving the people/culture and the government aren't mutually inclusive. I don't think any country can be a true ally of the US unless it's a democracy, and regardless of what most of the people may think, their laws are still oppressive.
@cyberpolice9000, I don't fully agree with all of its laws, I would prefer for it to be more liberal like the other Gulf states but I'm not a Saudi citizen so it's not really my business, nobody is forced to live there and most Saudis love their country, u must also keep in mind that power there is split between the royals and the clerics, eventually I think KSA will become more liberal over time though
@Troy62486, also as a Muslim, KSA is where Mecca and Medina are, I like other Saudi cities like Jeddah, al Khobar and Riyadh too, I like aspects of Saudi culture as well as music too
