[quote]i think the factor of sticking to some misunderstood values re:islam has caused lots of problems to muslims in the world. 
for e.g. u can imagine how threatened the west felt when they got this mesge from islamic scholars and sources that jihad is obligatory on the present day muslims and their states and keeping the prophet's prophecy, they will fight the non-muslims of the world untill islam starts ruling the whole world. naturally the west took a hard line on this and decided to suppress and break down muslim power everywhere in the world even before they could, in their understanding, become so powerful to suppress or take over the non muslim states. the destruction of the small muslim population of bosnia in the middle of europe was a clear example of this and the rest of the links followed this heart rendering incidence in early 90s.

similarly when the message goes to the non-muslims that muslims cannot take them as their bosom friends and must not trust them, what do u think their attitude is going to be towards the muslims except hatered and dis-trust. even if that particular muslim does not believe or practice this, he/she will be categorized as such because of the general info being spread around amongst the muslims as their islamic education everywhere in the world.

there are many more examples. the traditional teachings about the treatment of women in islam, the penile code, the political shariah~it is so important to bring the true picture of islam to the world instead of the self implemented restrictions on each and every value. which has done nothing but created fear and threat about islam globally andmuslims have suffered individually and as  a nation paying heavy price to the misconceptions spread around by the teachers and leaders of islam.

most scholars of the past century have taken these stances. and they have but caused more and more trouble to islam and muslims. it's hi-time that all these misconceptions get clarified.[/quote]
