The Truth about Islam

The truth about what Islam is truly about, falls on deaf ears towards fundamentalist Christians. To them, they have "studied" Islam, watched enough news and gotten enought "Islamic" and "Non-Islamic" sources that they are more apt to tell Muslims what our own faith is about and how we should act.

All the while they do this, they tell us that we need to speak out more against radical Islam. Even though they have stated that radical Islam is the true way to be. My question, is why even state the need to speak out when you clearly have a better idea of Islam is than I (or any other Muslim on here) is.

Watching Fox News is definitely not considered studying. I think for many Christians having an enemy feeds the persecution complex and rallies the base (to donate lots of money), so it's important to make all Muslims fit into the violent, drooling terrorist mold. They did it before with communists, pagans, atheists, and homosexuals, too.

All the while they do this, they tell us that we need to speak out more against radical Islam.

Maybe it would help if you held anti-radical rallies on the public sidewalks outside of the churches.

Of course Muslims have spoken out against terrorism but that doesn't get publicized on Faux News.

That much is true. However, conservative Christians, the Government and the mainstream media have corrupted the minds of Westerners of assuming that Muslims are evil and that our religion only speaks of murdering and raping non-Muslims, to install Shari'a in every country we inhabit and that we are all supportive of pedophilia and taking advantage of 9 yr old girls.

I watch Al-Jazeera myself. Best 24-hour news network out there.

Anyone else notice that they accused Neopagans of pedophilia and recruiting children back in the 80-90s (see Satantic Panic) and they accuse homosexuals of it today (see Tony Perkins, Scott Lively, Phylis Schafley, et al)?

Yep. Now that they have an American Al-Jazeera, perhaps the public can truly see a more nuetral news source.
There is only one way to find out, but maybe just maybe it will, part of it is that the good thing Muslims do is rarely reported.

Gays have always been accused of pedophilia primarily because that was the major form of same sex relations in antiquity. It still is in the Middle East. Of course, men who had sex with boys were rarely homosexuals in the exclusive, modern sense of the word. Usually they had wives and children.

Bigots will be bigots, but others who aren't used to hearing the other side will actually become educated.
that will be great. Muslims need to be given the chance to be treated fairly.

'Medicine of the Prophet' by Im-Tawwiq Dr.
It discusses ancient medicine and how to treat illnesses according to God

That's a little strange. A traditional Muslim doctor's medicine usually goes back to the Greeks, not to the Prophet. In fact they are called Yunani doctors Yunani being Arabic for Ionian.

Never read it, but will check it out. Lots of Muslims use natural remedies for illness, instead of modern medicines. This mainly comes from most Muslim countries being poor and people not being able to afford modern meds. However, I believe humans hould rely more on natural remedies instead of rushing to the store to get drugged up. This will help their bodies heal much easier and will keep them healthier in the long run.

Is this by any chance a translation of the classical work by Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya in 14th century?

http://www.amazon.com/Medicine-Prophet-Islamic-Texts-Society/dp/0946621225

I don't much like his theology as he was a disciple of Ibn Taymiyya, however as a scientist of his time he was truly remarkable. He understood the difference between astronomy and astrology, between alchemy and chemistry, no small feat in the Middle Ages. Indeed, his understanding of the nature of the stars and planets exceeded Copernicus.

Because silence is consent.
Therein lies the issue. We Muslims do speak out, but how can you speak out when it falls on deaf ears. The media doesn't give us fair airplay with the nutjobs in our mix and Conservative Christians do not wanna hear about it either. Let's also not forget that if the government actually allowed the public to know how truly peaceful Muslims are, they wouldn't have a case when it came to all these security measures and conflicts we have been involved in for big business.
