[quote]Assalam o alikum
   Thank you for the warm welcome Hina.

when I said whose version of Islam I meant whose interpretation , which sect and I disagree Islam is not a difficult religion to follow its basis is on our niyat and our instinct of judgment of deciding right and wrong.
            It takes man as a social being and lays its laws which are fair to all.
      The problem is when different sects interpret and insist their interpretation is right and willing to take each other's lives for it.
      Suicide  bombings killing of women attacks on minorities has given rise to fear  and the policy of submission because you have no choice, or mass migration if you have one.
     What happened to laying basic principles and then leaving the rest to the people? Quran leaves according to me a lot of grey areas where the judgment is left to individuals why should we impose our interpretation on the rest.
        Every day things have become a strain on our lives. Listening to music, if you are a music lover should you hide that fact? Because maybe your neighbor might not agree with it and react to it in a very unpleasant manner. The way women dress when going outside or dealing with people in offices or any jobs, do they wear hijab ?cover their face ? a coat on their dress ? a chader? or just plain dress with head uncovered short sleeves or long ones? Does an Islamic state have a right to dictate a dress to a woman or a man? Should it not be a choice of an individual? We are all going to be judged by God on the day of Judgment so why are we insistent on judging in this life time.All states have Civil laws to judge criminal offences so should we in Islamic perspective but keeping a medium path.
         God has given us the right to choose our lives' path and given us guidelines  to decide whether we are choosing the right path or the wrong one. All human beings have the right to earn a lawful earning education and a right to choose your husband or wife.
       If we fulfill these responsibilities and protect the innocent and weak from aggression then we are half way there to a better life and maybe in the eyes of God better human beings.[/quote]
