Many times we have seen that, Muslims have been living in the western world to avail different opportunities of earning livelihood, western world, modernity — but they have not merged well and not created peace with each other. To understand why violence keeps erupting and to seek to prevent it, we must discern what fuels this sense of grievance.
Arabs have a huge history associated with themselves as they had fought many battles with anti-Islam people. Whenever there is any claim made in US or anywhere in the western world, it instantly angers the Arab world and offends them at large.
As per some believers “In the narrative of history transmitted to schoolchildren throughout the Arab world and reinforced by the media, religious scholars and laymen alike, Arabs were favored by divine providence. They had come out of the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century, carrying Islam from Morocco to faraway Indonesia. In the process, they overran the Byzantine and Persian empires, then crossed the Strait of Gibraltar to Iberia, and there they fashioned a brilliant civilization that stood as a rebuke to the intolerance of the European states to the north. Cordoba and Granada were adorned and exalted in the Arab imagination. Andalusia brought together all that the Arabs favored — poetry, equality courts, philosophers who debated the great issues of the day.”
Islam has sprawled over the years and gained popularity, as Islam orders to maintain brotherly relations with all Muslim countries it also asks to maintain cordial terms with non-Muslims, therefore, Arabs and the Muslim world is always at peace with non-believers of the world. Never in the history has there been any move by the Muslims who would have done something to harm non-Muslims by pin pointing or hitting at them religiously or esthetically. But it is very sad to inquire that western world has hit Muslim world very many times, from drawing of the cartoon to the making of an anti-Islam film, western world has offended Muslims over and over again. Not only Muslims live in the western countries but also many non-Believers reside into the premises of the Muslim countries.
After 9/11 incident, which remains still a mystery as no inquiry had been done to reach up to defined conclusion, it became easier for the western world to offend Muslims and blame them with anything. “The values and teachings of Islam come from two main sources…The Qur’an and Hadith. They provide complete direction in every aspect of life. Islam respects the values and teachings of other religions as well. It gives the followers of other religions the liberty and freedom to perform their religious duties. The Fiqh Council of North America and the members of FCNA (body of Islamic scholors) strongly believe that Legal, moral and social systems in West are fully compatible with Islamic rules and set of laws. This is the proof that following Islam and being loyal to America are two sides of a coin.”
Recent making of “innocence of Muslims” film has once again offended and deeply hurt the Muslim world for which a reaction by the Muslims in the shape of protests came up.
