Many people in the modern day hold such hateful thoughts and propagandas against Islam , more particularly in the western world. With the enlightment age, Islam came to fit its principles and peaceful teachings to the very context of life of today, and it is rightfully of flexibility . Yet many people insist that Islam is an old-fashioned religion and violence-based.

MY Question therefore is that why is it so difficult to be critical and examine the issue more carefully rather than just throwing prejudices onto Muslims by labeling them all as terrorists or even as extremists without showing a bit of respect or concern ??

I therefore i argue that Islam can necessarily be manifested through Muslims , but Muslims are not all alike , they differ. Therefore Muslims' actions don't necessarily reflect or represent the true picture and very foundations of Islam. Thus, a distinction should sometimes be made between Islam as a religion AND Muslims as the followers of the religion . No body is ever infallible , we all make mistakes. Religion is not what motivates people to act wrongfully it is rather some people who abuse Islam, and they claim to do so in the name of god. The idea of religion after all is that of peace and love and mercy for human beings to be closer to god to get what they have been promised.

Please I urge you to think critically and be constructive

this life is but a test for human beings , it is a test for each individual as to what he or she does through one's lifespan, otherwise why would we be here ?

obviously, each and every test requires a great deal of effort, and every bit of effort made Will certainly be rewarded for, if not in this life it will be the hereafter . should we succeed in this test we will then have fulfilled the purpose of life and that is showing gratitude to the one who has put us through test , and we do that by worshiping him . hence , getting desirable outcome.

However we do fail the test if don't comply with what we have been created for , this means that if we commit the deeds which are bad or even not doing that which is good , then how the hick will we succeed ? , and hence failure leads to the undesirable consequence in the hereafter .

I'm not saying that we should just be praying 24\7 . no , when i say worship then i do mean that each and every thing we do should not cause god to be angry, and thus we should stay away from.

as simple as that , we have been created to pay back a debt that has been given to us , and that is the bounty of creation .
