So the other day talking to someone they asked me my religious background.
I said I am a Muslim.
so the common response that I had expected hit me,
you've been talking about peace and you belong to Islam.
how ironic!;he added
I wish to discuss is something that has caused Islamaphobia in the Western and non-Muslim.there is a couple of things i would like to share . plus there is an open invitation for people to start argument if anything is not clear.
i don't know about the other people's opinion (Muslims) but the Islam that I have learnt from my parents and forefathers has nothing to do with violence and terrorism.

the Islam that I have learnt is indeed a beautiful and flexible religion.the Quran has clearly stated that islam is the religion of peace that has nothing to do with extremism or terrorism.
I should mention that the person who followed the teachings of the Qura'an to the greatist txtent possible was the Holy Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him).That is why one of his wives once said that his morals and his acts were a perfect reflection and mirror image of the teachings of Quran.He is known for greatest peace in history of the World
This incident shows How much respect he Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) had for all mankind. Once a funeral procession passed by and as a mark of respect he immediately stood up.Upon seeing this,a companion commented in surprise that
"this funeral procession is of a Jewish person"
Hearing this, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Was he not a human? Respect for all humans is obligatory".
There is no compulsion in faith of Islam:
I know not where from our opponents from have they heard that Islam was spread by sword . God says in Holy Quran that:"there is no compulsion in the Islamic faith"
Then there is the account of a slave of Hadrat Umar(ra) who narrates that although he was a slave of Hadrat Umar(ra), Hadrat Umar(ra) never forced him to become a Muslim. Hadrat Umar(ra) most certainly used to explain to him with love and affection to become a Muslim but the slave would refuse and Hadrat Umar(ra)
would only say: There is no compulsion in faith and fell silent after that. Finally, before his death, he set this slave free. Now who can, therefore, say that there is any room for compulsion or causing a breach of peace in Islam?
indeed as quran says there is NO compulsion of faith in Islam.

DON'T DEPICT WRONG PICTURE OF ISLAM
‘The question arises that if the Holy Prophet(sa) or his Companions did not hold the sword in one hand and the Qur’an in the other nor destroyed the peace of the world, what are these holy wars and what is this thing called Jihad which is on everyone’s lips and for which every Muslim is being blamed for causing mayhem in the world?’this false and wrong depiction of Islam is indeed so wrong-doing to Islam .
because Islam is no way teaches extremism or terrorism. the true picture of Islam is what depicted by the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and what is taught by the Holy book Quran.
the message of Islam is the message of peace and love.
bless you all!
