Patience child...patience.
Regardless of whatever tribulations a believer goes through,He should always utter the word "ALLHUMDULILAH".
The best weapon to fight this war is to go out there and spread the word. Teach people about Islam.
And .. what i Dislike more than Non-muslims spreading anti-islamic rhetoric is Muslims who do everything and anything islamic and then cry "im following the quran and the sunnah..."..
..but i won't sing that song again in this thread.
Kheir,..ALlhumdulilah.
Dont Mistake My Harshness For Strength And Neither Mistake My Kindness For Weakness.
I thought that all the post-9/11 anti-Islamism was behind us, but then if you go to a couple of different political forums/sites, ESPECIALLY Pravda and FreeRepublic, you'll see that mainstream Americans/Europeans think we're out to get them and destroy modern culture.
Do they forgot that we took Europe out of the dark ages, introduced Math, Medicine, and what they call "European Culture and Art?" Most Americans/Europeans are fed this age-old Victorian-Anglo-Supremacist belief:
Under Western rule, you are under the control of educated, wealthy, cultured people who care about democracy and freedom. Under Islamic rule, you are under the totalitarian fascist control of Brown people who have superstitious 6th-Century habits and lifestyles.
Sad. Very sad.

I agree with most of your points, but I wasn't aware that Muslims introduced European Culture and Art... Europeans did that.... centuries before Islam even existed.
Back on topic: I think that the best advertisement for Islam are Muslims (like those I've met) who set an example of devotion, charity and kindness that all people can learn from. That would be the best way to combat the anti-Islamic rhetoric that pollutes the airwaves. Wanting to slap people probably isn't.

Very good thoughts czgibson. We do need to be more aware of how we live, so that we do not be seen as validating the very things we say we are not. A truthfull word given and shown in love will go much further then 1000 slaps.
Shaykh Hamza Yusuf said ' if you want to be an instant bestseller, write a book lambasting Islam'
yeah he also said 'claim to be an apostate'...this he said is the trend nowadays..
more and more people of the opportunistic species(yes species) are jumping on the bandwagon to make some big bucks.
Disgusting people!! May the AllMighty disgrace all untruthful insincere materialistic unrepentant people ameen
All of them worship out of fear of fire
and consider deliverance abundant good fortune
or so they may dwell in the gardens , and reach to the meadows of paradise and there drink from its rivers
of gardens or fire i have no opinion
I seek no exchange for my Dearest Love

Yes, give them a real good slap. That will convince them that you are rational, educated, and civilized.
To tell the truth, I think forums such as this can be part of the problem. It's very easy to lose it over the Internet, and then everyone thinks all Muslims are nutters.
I agree with Sir Zubair and Woodrow - patience is the key.
i know we need to be paticent. we need to set a good example for the non muslims and our fellow muslims. but my question is when? when are we going to start showing every one the true message of islam?

We start doing that the minute we realise we are Muslim. We are not Muslim because we want to stop shaving, wear Mid-Eastern clothing and speak a language that is alien to our family and friends. We are Muslim for one reason only and that is because we love Allah(swt). To love Allah(swt) we do his will, we try to live as he wants us to live. We try to emulate his love of all of creation.
When we do that with all of our heart and do it only out of love for Allah(swt) and not to impress or please any one else. Allah(swt) will allow us to be used as instruements to show people what Islam is.
We may never know ourselves what people learn of Islam through us. That is not our concern. We do not do it to win reverts or as a show of piety, we do it only for the love of Allah(swt) and allow him to do with us as he chooses.
i really dont think we should sit and moan about it...theres really very little we can do about the media since its owned by powerful people ..and often the media reflects the view of its owner..
What we can do is excercise our right to complain to a third party that oversees what tv channels /newspapers are up to
but i think the best thing would be to change peoples perceptions about Islam and Muslims locally..how many of you talk to your nonmuslim neighbours? how many of you participate in community activities? how can you show people what being muslim is all about? start with your community..talk to people about Islam..invite them to your homes for tea or lunch and then see the difference.
oh yeah..also id suggest you threw your tv too..if you dont want to be constantly reminded how Islam is portrayed in the media.

look sis noone said it'll be easy! if it was easy i would be more worried, thinking where is the test, the struggle! as mentioned above patients and teh way you practice islam, will overcome the ignorance!
