According to Yahiya Emerick,” Islam is the way of life for millions of people around the world. Its teachings guide people to live harmoniously and in balance with themselves, others and the world around them.”
Everything we do no matter how much we protest we do it with an ulterior motive; the followers of the Islamic religious are no different. They hope that by fighting for Allay and doing good deeds they can secure a place in heaven Many times we hear of suicide boomers and they are applauded for their bravery, and are held heroes. The truth is this is not the behavior of a true Muslim, The real Muslim does not recognize these boomers as I slam. A Muslin fights for a cause. Muslins are ruled by the Qur’an and nowhere does it support suicide booming and a better place in heaven for dying what many
What many termed, “a heroes’ death.” These young people are brain-washed and they truly believe that heaven awaits them with untold pleasures.
Until society advanced into the age of technology, it viewed women unequal to men; unfortunately, some culture and religion still practice this doctrine, one of these religion is Islam. In the Islam religion women are not equal to men and they are ruled by men, they are not expected to defy their husbands and fathers. Young girls marry who their father chose for them and if they refuse they are at the mercy of their father who may even kill if they deem it necessary.
Women's Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality, reports that women who are raped are often stigmatized and blamed for being raped. Most women who are raped do not talk in fear of death; and there are others woo kill themselves to restore the family honor. The family honor is a big issue in Muslim countries and more often than not fathers and brothers will kill their sisters or daughters to bring back honor to the family. “The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) estimates that the annual worldwide number of honor killing victims may be as high as 5,000 women.” The life of a woman values nothing and the man, the rarest, goes free.
Homosexuals are the only group of men who is treated as poorly as women. The Muslim society has no place for homosexuals. The Qur’an by which they are ruled clearly states that
- It clashes with the "natural" order in which God created human beings
- It brings destruction of the family and the institutions of marriage
- It leads people to ignore God's guidance in other areas of life
Though the Islamic society behaves just as any other society in education and values, it scores zero when it comes to giving women respect and tolerance for homosexuals
