[quote]rodg7 Salam, the values you mentioned &quot; tolerance, equality and the scientific view  were an integral part of an Islamic society but we have stopped  and lost all perspective.  In many places, the Qur'an uses such phrases as 'do they not think,' 'do they not ponder,' or 'reflect. The style of the Qur'an is to invite to reason and common sense. At all stages in Life we are asked to as Muslims to ponder, understand and establish a just rule. In an Islamic State every one’s life and property should be secure and a system where every person has a right to live his or her life as he/she chooses. There were scholars, scientists, writers and renowned physicians in the past   Islamic societies, it is only when a nation stops independent thought that stagnation sets in. Islam is a religion which encourages research and independent thought but we as Muslims have stopped doing so. We have to break free from this lethargy and start educating our younger generation.
Safimera you are right in your assessment tolerance is our weakest point lack of knowledge and trust doubles the affect  we don’t want to hear or understand anything but as I had said earlier things are changing and will slowly and surely move forward I know you will find it hard to believe but things will change.
An article for both of you to read
