Why you should try to understand Islam

by FA

People are afraid of what they do not know. Some would rather not bother to learn about different religions and cultures, believing ignorance is bliss. Islam is one of the fastest growing religion in the United States and rest of the world. It is vital that you should try to understand Islam to see why Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the world.

By learning about Islam, you are able to learn about other cultures different than your own. By learning about others, you will be able to improve yourself. There are many similarities and differences amongst everyone. By learning about Islam, you are able to overcome stereotypes of Muslims and the religion of Islam.

Islam is a religion of peace. Islam has many components from Judaism and Christianity. Islam view Moses and Jesus as highly respectable prophets. Muslims must work for social changes for all. Muslims are responsible for their families and neighbors. Charity work is a must.

This is a sample of what Islam is all about. You might think wait a minute, what about extremists? They are a minority in all cultures. You can find extremists in USA, United Kingdom, France, and Japan. It is not fair to judge a religion or culture based on the few.

So open your mind, and learn about Islam. Make a friend with a Muslim, and start asking questions. You will be glad you did.
