Today is Friday and I wish all Muslims a peaceful Friday prayers.

Non-muslims like myself form opinion of Islam by looking at Muslims and their actions. Our parents did not indoctrinate us to see islam the way we do. We just watch the news and interact with muslims. There are other religions like Hindu, Christianity and Buddhism with billions of adherents just like Islam. But Islam is one that spectacularly stands out as 'off-ish' to neutrals.

Terrorism, violence, restrictions of women, hard-line laws, repression, political ideology, aversion to modernity etc are some of the things that Islam has become known for.

Many Muslims feel uncomfortable identifying as Muslims in certain circles.
How do you feel about the reputation of your religion? How does it affect you? Do you want the reputation to change or are you ok with it?
Can we hear from you?

Moderate muslim? Dey play.

They are all the same thing. Doubt this at yoir own peril.

They are all walking potential terrorists.

Big lie. Stop telling lies for useless likes.

lol, I believe some Muslims (especially women) are going to be apolitical and just follow the religious doctrines. Don't you think? For instance Dangote's daughters or children of the elite.

Well I live abroad and I know many Muslims who don't like to talk about religion and things like that. They just do it privately. I guess they are afraid of being judged

Mention the country you live and let me google the Muslim percentage there. No Muslim will ever hide his or her religion.

It's extremely difficult to convince some Southern Muslims to go for terrorism on his people because the hard line determination to kill steal and destroy is very much associated with races. Arabs and their black cousins down here in Africa are more instinctively inclined to kill steal and destroy.
Indoctrination by these Arabs and cousins such as Fulanis, Kanuri and overtime Hausas were added.
Centuries ago the Hausas don't practice Islam until the arrival of Fulanis and other Arabs into Africa via Jihad

Toh at the bolded. Of course a fundamentalist believes in extremes. Out of over 1.4 billion Muslims in the world, not one is capable of hiding his/her religion in certain circles.
Toh

You need to sit down yourself and study world politics to know some certain things. Some people you tagged terrorists are some people freedom fighters.

Terrorism is just one aspect of Islam's reputational problem and it's so cute how you switched from no Muslim can deny their religion to terrorists are freedom fighters. Forcing women to hide from public, is that one freedom fighting too?
This thread is for moderate Muslims not menaces that further worsen the reputation of Islam, such as yourself.

that's why I said especially women

Nothing can happen to the reputation of Islam. So for asking you a simple question I've suddenly turned menaces You can call us any names but no Muslim will ever hide his/her religion.

The reputation is already bad. In 2015, even the president of Iran urged Muslims to improve Islam's bad reputation. Even Ghadafi said Islam's reputation was bad and that people like Bin Laden should not be allowed to shape Islamic ideas.
The Saudi Arabia is among countries that have refused to establish diplomatic ties with the Taliban. UAE is quickly trying to build a society above Islamic restrictions.
Even in Nigeria, Dangote has said he wished his people in the north will move away from fundamental Islam and be more like Yoruba Muslims.

World is divided between believing JESUS is LORD or not, God gave us JESUS as LORD in human likeness, some believe, some don't, some CHRISTIANS and Jews found it difficult to believe

But God has said what He needed to say, especially in John 3:16, Matthew 3:17

Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:





3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matthew



In a country where religion is majority 2
The unbelievers will rather do Islam than not doing anything at all, since they are unbelievers


And believers will go for Christianity, although some are Christians without the knowledge of what they are doing or believing, likewise some Muslims don't know what Islam rep, that essence of Islam or religion outside of Christianity is to habor unbelievers of Jesus is LORD




THE VOCAL POINT IS CHRIST, CHRIST AND CHRIST



The reason why Muslim seems to preach from Bible and against the Christians is because Bible and Christians are custodial and reason why they are religion, the Bible confirmed that the son of ordinary will always attack the Son of the Spirit. If a child is born somewhere let say in Ibadan today and he started talking immediately he was born, eating and demand he goes to school, that's not ordinary, that's is extra ordinary being, everyone will want to see the baby. This is how Jesus was born different with miracles that capture eyes. The fact that God confirmed Him as His and as Son makes Him LORD and Saviour and Almighty God



Is He what God says He is?
Or
Is He not?


This is what God put before us, not religion



The important point however is that if you believe He's what God promised and declared, you will be a proper or a TRUE WORSHIPERS in Christianity, not in catholism, Islam, not Judaism




Moderate Muslim
What moderate Muslim needs to do is to use their faith in completion to trust God to believe Jesus is LORD, if you don't use your FAITH to trust God to believe JESUS is God as God wanted you to, you will sabotaging your efforts and you will be more or less like atheist, Idol worshipers etc because believe or not is the two standard set to chose before man, not Religion

What's moderate Muslim? Is there also a moderate Jew or Christian? How do we classify a Christian we calls Catholics, Celestial and Cherubim idolatrous?

Anyways! Muslims na Muslim! There's nothing like moderate Muslims in the Qur'an or in the tradition of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam. You are either a Muslim or not!

And those who badmouth Muslims have it in their beliefs that all sins are equal. Is the killing you are blaming Muslims for different from your own type of sin?

I see most Christians as Hypocrites.
