Salaam all,
We all realize the big divide between Islam and its practices. Today I saw a newsflash in islamophobia that the “There is no God and Islam is evil” speech earns Richard Dawkins a standing ovation. Prof Dawkins said: “We are terrified of being called ‘Islamophobic’. It is a disgrace a religion prescribes death for leaving it. The vast majority of Muslims would not dream of doing that, but they are taught it in their madrassas… and it only takes a minority to put that into practice. And, as
we have seen, terrible things happen.”
He is a renowed atheist yet in my heart, I cannot blame him for his very perceptive opinion. If there is anyone to be blamed, it is us, Self-blaming is not new, has been expressed hundred times before; appears the view needs to be expressed more intensely and much more frequently till it reaches the target. Otherwise Islam is peace will continue to be an oxymoron.
