A conspiracy?

You claim Islam promotes peace and tolerance. It is the western media and the unbelievers who brand Islam as a violent religion. If someone needs to blame, it’s probably you. It is your bigotry that tarnishes its reputation.

It is this type of madness that proves it is violent and intolerant. It is then, people doubt about its teachings, and question those who claim to follow the ‘true authentic path’ as genuine believers. The cult behavior that promotes your sect of Islam frustrates many people, including me. That frustration is leading to rebelliousness and to break free from an imposed religion.
You are not advocating for a peaceful religion, you are not fighting to protect Islam, but you are promoting an “Arab religion” and their culture and customs. Yes, you heard me right! It’s not Islam that you follow but the ‘Arab religion’ where everything is recited in Arabic, praising, magnifying and glorifying God. Even greeting each other is uttered in Arabic, not in Spanish, French, Urdhu or in Dhivehi, but in Arabic. Sometimes I wonder if God is an Arab, a ‘person,’ who is capable of understanding only one language. Or if the Devil converses only in Arabic.
“The Arabs insist all ‘Muslims’ irrespective of their racial origin and language follow the supposed personal habits of an Arab prophet in all things, including the way he dressed, stood, slept, ate and cared for his teeth.” (Quoted from “Arab Conspiracies Against Islam.”)
Its idiotic when you say, “Allah is most merciful and most forgiving” and when you stress, we should recite in Arabic, if not, it’s unacceptable to God. But you never seem to ‘understand’ the contradiction there, ‘self-sufficient’ God ‘demanding’ from His slaves, unwilling to forgive to those whose native language is not Arabic.
The people and the books that influenced you failed to teach you, that there is no compulsion in Islam and no one should be pressured or threatened to embrace it. You don’t understand the difference between Islamic religious practices and the Arab cultural practices that influence Islam. Sunni, Shia and Wahhabism are sects in the ‘Arab religion.’ Isn’t it inappropriate for a ‘pious’ person like you to express loathing and hatred towards the others who follow a different sect?
Your bloodthirsty state of mind envisioned me practicing Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity and sometimes you suspect I could be an atheist.
You told me not to eat from my Hindhu friend’s house because she may have offered the food to her idol God, before she cook the vegetables or cut the fruits which you say, would be ‘haram’ for me.
It is baffling how you over reacted when I attended the Wesak celebrations with a Buddhist friend to see the lanterns and the parade. I was hesitant to go inside the temple, thinking they would not like a Muslim in their temple, but to my surprise they were eager to welcome me. Just imagine an unbeliever getting the same treatment in a Muslim place of worship!
If you are inhumane, what you advocate in the name of religion has no value to it. The notion that Muslims are the most superior people on earth and their faith would survive and strengthen if we stay ignorant about other faiths is simply ridiculous.
You say you do not shave your beard because you love your Prophet. You keep your pants above ankle because you believe “what hangs below the two ankles is in fire.” But you dishonor your parents and siblings and disregard your relatives.
You advocate women to choose Arab garments, emphasizing to choose black color over the others because it ‘protects’ women better. And you shamelessly stare at women, veiled or not, when the teachings you claim to believe recommend you to ‘lower your gaze.’
You say you spend your time learning Quran and Hadith and there is no time to work and earn a living. But you have two wives and four children to support. It is very convenient and justifiable for you to ‘borrow’ and not pay back the ‘haram money’ others earn, working ten or twelve hours a day, seven days a week.
It does not stop there.
You frown family get togethers, because it is someone’s birthday.When it is Eid you don’t greet or give gifts to those whom you ‘believe’ are Kaafir’s in the family.
It irritates you when you see us read anything other than Quran, watch anything other than those nonsensical ‘Sheikh’s performing’ their best act on television.
And you find time to stalk others and me on Facebook and look at photographs. Then, you call or text us to teach ‘true Islam.’
Now why am I ranting here? Because I am angry about all that has has happened and that still continues. I am outrageous because this was allowed to happen.

I am angry because you resemble so much like one of them. I am mad because just like them, you believe that we should follow your cult.
I am furious because we were all in denial, unwilling to accept the fact that there are extremists in many corners of this island nation. Anyone who is bold enough to acknowledge that fact and express concern is label as ‘unbelievers.’ Only a few young people envisioned it would, one day, lead to violence. No one else did!
Finally, its out in the open. Blood shed in the name of religion. It does not matter if it is one individual or hundreds. If it is a minor or a major injury. What is important to acknowledge and understand is a ‘new type of war’ has begun. They are openly advocating to murder anyone whom they SUSPECT, and BELIEVE to have a different belief or aspire to embrace another religion or follow none. And we just ignore all these and sit and wait? For how long? Until when?
