I haven't written anything in a little while. I am getting much better at becoming an apologetic, or one who defends their faith. I am really learning about what are the things that Atheists, Christians, and anyone really, use to combat Islam. What are the things they bring up? This poses more than just the obvious problem about finding an answer to these questions, but also the sheer number and diversity of the questions. And the really tough ones are those individuals who do know somewhat about Islam, but know so much about what I call "Cultural Islam" or "Saudi Law", which is wrong and misguided.
Those are harder things to refute, because how can I explain Islam in it's true light, when Muslims are not acting upon that light. Beatings of women, rape, and murder?! These are not of Islam! These are of the accursed Satan, and people's own demented and twisted souls.
What I am getting at, is I am coming to find out that, the ratio of people who are opened minded, but have the wrong idea of Islam, versus people who are opposed to anything Islamic and will argue with a brick wall with their hatred, is very large. I would say that most people know that CNN and FOX do not give them the whole picture, and that their own pulpit preaches wrong about their cousins in faith. These are the people I want to reach out to, and to cure the ignorance and misguided thoughts. And I am glad most of them will listen and ponder. The Quran tells us "The best form of worship is the pursuit of knowledge." I want to share with them something that has made me happy, and has instilled a drive to love my fellow man, and strive for righteousness, and to praise and thank God. I feel as if, the world has only ever seen gray, and I have seen Color! Glorious color, and I wish to share it with the world.
But how do you share the light with those who are so blind...
