How true is the idea?
Atheists and non-Muslims have many complaints about Islam, some of which are presented through scientific or philosophical arguments, while others arise from preconceptions, confusion, or misrepresentations of Islam. One of the most common of these complaints is: “Islam promotes violence and is hostile to non-Muslims.” This complaint has been raised many times in various media outlets, in the writings of Islamophobic intellectuals, or in the political landscape of religious division. In this article, I will analyze this complaint in depth and see how much of this idea is true, how much is exaggerated, and how much is the result of misinterpretation.

There is a surprising similarity even amidst the differences.
In the history of human civilization, religion has been a force that has driven people to search for morality, meaning of life, relationships, self-purification and an ultimate truth. Various religions have emerged in different nations and territories, in different historical contexts. But if we look deeply, we see that there is a surprising similarity amidst the various differences — all religions in one way or another call people to morality, good deeds, kindness, self-control and a search for a supreme power. These similarities tell us that the fundamental purpose of religion is to guide people on the path of human welfare, self-purification and ultimate truth.

Islamophobia
Islamophobia, or the irrational fear, hatred, and hostility toward Islam, is currently a widespread and profound crisis worldwide. It is not just seen as a religious hatred, but has become part of an institutional and cultural structure—which has found its place in the media, cinema, academic practice, and even state policy. Due to this Islamophobia, many people are being deprived of a correct understanding of Islam. They see Islam as a violent, backward, misogynistic, and inhumane religion—which has no resemblance to reality. In this situation, our responsibility, especially as Muslims, is very important. On the one hand, we need to self-criticize, and on the other hand, it is our duty to present the true face of Islam to the world. In this long discussion, we will review the background of Islamophobia, its impact, and what Muslims can do.

Thinking
Thinking is the basis of a civilization. The genesis, manifestation, brilliance, and survival of a civilization depend on the thoughts that the civilization held. Thoughts of people living in society, as much as delighted and united in thought as possible, the more firmly people hold on to the thoughts that civilization becomes strongest, well-organized, and expansive. Alongside, the way of living of the people of that civilization, immunity, rights, and Survival depend on these thoughts.

Women should be subordinate to men.
Allegation: The Quran says that women should be subordinate to men, so Islam is misogynistic and patriarchal. Many anti-Islamic and atheistic circles repeatedly raise an old allegation to prove that Islam is ‘misogynistic’—that is, the Quran says that “women are subordinate to men,” and that Islam oppresses women, does not give them freedom, and has made women a kind of ‘second-class citizen.’ Behind this propaganda, they usually quote one or two specific verses and ignore the rest of the previous and subsequent statements, trying to establish Islam as a patriarchal, conservative, and discriminatory religion. However, the real truth is that Islam has given women such respect, dignity, and rights that were unimaginable in the seventh century, and modern ‘feminism’ has still failed to establish an equal balance.

The Thinker in the Corner
In a small, dimly lit room painted with the faint warmth of a dusty peach-colored wall, a man reclined casually against the headboard of a creaky old bed. A pencil hung between his lips—not because he had forgotten about it, but because it belonged there, like a soldier ready to draw his sword at any moment. His uncombed hair crowned his head like a forest left untamed, and his eyes, half-aware of the world, gazed into the spaces most others didn’t dare to peer into. He was not idle. He was thinking.

The person praying must be a true Muslim.
“A true Muslim must be a true Muslim”—this sentence is not just a religious advice, but rather a real truth at the heart of the Islamic way of life, a fundamental principle, rooted deep in the Quran and Sunnah. Prayer is one of the five pillars of Islam, but to keep this pillar strong requires a heart that is filled with reverence and fear of Allah, and a life in which prayer is not just a formality, but a translation of ideals and character.
