Read what I said once again and read what I've endlessly tried to say in the religions' threads. I'm exactly trying to point out that what we see in Islamic countries is not the Islam of Mohammad and is not what Mohammad's religion was supposed to grant to the people. I've always been saying that all this turmoil and underdevelopment in the Islamic world is the direct outcome of wrong perceptions from Islam and its instructions alongside with sticking to some rules which did have a point in over 1000 years ago but need to get changed and adjusted if they are about to fulfill the true purposes of Mohammad's religion back then.
No, I don't hate Islam nor do I hate any religion of itself. I really don't know how you came up with that but I have no problem to say that I hate the way Islamic countries are being governed and I hate the way Muslims are living with some delusions waiting for God's miracles falling upon them. I hate the way they stick to the most unimportant details while forgetting about the main picture.
Someone is drawing a caricature, you see Muslims all over the streets cursing him but if at the same time, a boy gets raped in a prison in an Islamic country, they remain silent. Someone is writing a book denouncing Islam, you see Muslims everywhere getting ready to behead him but at the same time, they're okay with their leaders and sheiks making palaces from oil while leaving their people in poverty. How many poor people have we rescued by feeling their hunger and thirst in Ramazan? How many steps have we moved forward by "purifying" our souls? How much have we been successful in bringing justice to our countries by protesting against contemptuous caricatures, books and stuff? Wasn't Islam supposed to bring us some human values? Where are them? Why can't I see them? I don't blame Islam per se. In fact, when you get to explore through Qoran and its verses and when you understand the points which had been behind them all, you gotta love it considering the fact that it was a book which descended upon people of thousands of years ago, which made an illiterate and ignorant Arab society bloom. What has happened to it during the time? We, the Muslims, have changed it to something which not only doesn't turn us to better people (and our societies to better places to live) but quite the opposite, it actually keeps us from extending justice, freedom and equality throughout our societies. Weren't these three values the ones Mohammad had fought for?
You know what Salman, we are fasting. We refuse eating pork and alcohol. We refuse having premarital sex. Our women are covering themselves in burqas. We're going to hajj. We're praying. Why are we living in shit then? Because those stuff are ALL we have learned from Islam. We've forgotten that we had also been supposed to raise our voices against oppression and injustice. To get educated and informed. To fight for people's rights. To help those who need our help. To forgive. Jasper considers fasting as a difficult thing to do but for me, it's the easiest one Qoran has ordered to. The difficult ones are the ones we easily ignore and this is why you can't see one single Islamic country which is close to an ideal one.
What a load of crap Hoori. You and I both know that the first chance you get you're getting the heck out of the country. Don't try to come off as some sort of a Mother Theresa.
