on Thursday, August 16, 2012

Ten years before, there was not any beforehand apparatus of communication, through which people can share information, news of their religion and other relevant knowledge with each other. But in this age of advance technology and the internet, abounding amusing networking has been developed. Social networking sites are basically the platforms on which social networks build between and among people. Through these sites, people share their interest, background, knowledge and other things with each other. Basically, social networking sites are the connecting tools between and among the people of different societies, cultures and countries. The most popular social networking sites of today’s age are Facebook and tweeter. The social networking sites can also be known as social media forums. People have a general question that how Facebook and other social media forums can help to integrate Muslims and West.

This question can be answered by observing the today’s era in which Facebook and other social media forums are helping to integrate Muslims and West. Through the social networking sites, people from the different societies connect each other. By this social connection, people from the West can know about the Muslim religion, its values, customs and all other things about it. Because of these social media forums such as Facebook and Twitter, many people from the Western countries have converted their religion into Islam.

In this way, social networking websites make it possible to connect Muslims and Non-Muslims with each other. They share their interests and activities across religious, political, economical, and geographical borders. A lot of online communities have been created, which have spread the Islamic activities throughout the world, especially in the West. Facebook and other social networking tools are increasing the impact of one society and culture on another society.

We can observe that, because of the social media forums, culturization is also taking place between and among societies. The social media forum is an online platform that focuses on the building of social networks between Muslims and the West. Through emails and instant messages, one person either Muslim or Non-Muslim can better understand about the other people’s religions and his life style. It has been seen that when Non-Muslims hear about the religion of Muslims through instant messages, they find it interesting and want to enter the boundaries of Islam. They start to adopt the Islamic values, customs and other activities. Non-Muslims feel very good by knowing about the purity of Islam; they want to offer prayers, reciting Quran, perform Hajj and want to do fasting as well.

A report says that 50% western and other people regularly enter into the arena of Islam, and adore its authentic. So we can say that Facebook and other social media forums can help to integrate Muslims and West. They build a connection between East and West.   In short media and social media has a big role to play to bridge the gap between Muslims and West.
