[quote]It is extremely hard to live an Islamic life in nonislamic countries.  So much around us leads away from Islam.  Sometimes it is a minute by minute struggle to do/act as we should.  We are bombarded daily with issues that are contrary to Islam. It also does not help when you see/read news articles where an iman says it's okay for muslim to kill muslim; when you see/read about muslims actually killing muslims; when you hear muslims proclaiming Islam and acting counter to the Qur'an.  All my co-workers are Christians and I struggle each day to show the best of Islam. I hold my tongue, smile when I feel like crying, give encouragement when I want to be silent, avoid conversations because they are not proper, and try to let them know that the actions of muslims shown on the news is not Islam.  (My belief is that a human consists of a spirit and a soul.  The soul is like the phone line to Allah.  The spirit  is what propells the human to do what it does.  The spirit is govern by the soul. A strong soul with good connect and a compliant spirit and everything is in harmony Islamically.)  Day to day life wears the spirit down to where it gets sloppy and either doesn't want to listen to the soul or half-ways listens.[/quote]
