Prejudices Against Islam. A new Perspective!
Do you know people who may have inherent prejudices against Islam? This article outlines universal Muslim beliefs that may challenge your perceptions.
What are your prejudices about religion? What comes to mind when I say ‘Islam’?
Do you think of a peaceful religion where everyone gets on with life quietly, trying not to harm one another?
Do you see a big smile, good character, altruism and generosity?
I think not.
You may be surprised when you find out what Islam really stands for.
Islam has a population of 1.8 billion people. Muslims form 24.1 % of the whole world’s population.
And we are largely people who will be happy to meet you. We would probably befriend you if you met us on the street.
Muslims are not only a bunch of people who dress a certain way: we are such a diverse and dynamic group. Nearly a quarter of the world’s population! A large part of society- so fully immersed and integrated that you’re not even aware that we’re there.
Muslims believe:
• Everything in life has a purpose.
