Why Islam?
It is not the first time Islam faces irrelevant criticism from its enemies as well as people who do not know anything about Islam. Islam, the religion of Allah, the Almighty God never stands or encourages anti social elements and hence, it remains as an only practical solution for the entire problems of the world. Because of this reason, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and so, many people embracing Islam especially in America and Western Europe watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJLZj1KqWZs also watch Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85fCZUvGxzg&feature=related
Author Samuel Huntington predicts that "Muslims in the world will continue to increase dramatically, amounting to 20 percent of the world's population about the turn of the [21st] century, surpassing the number of Christians some years later..." If Islam, the religion of Almighty God promotes the quality or attribute of being unstable and irresolute, why do these people accepting Islam? Because, people finding peace and confidence by believing in Allah, the One and Only God through denying all human gods and goddess.
Quran says: Wherewith Allâh guides all those who seek His Good Pleasure to ways of peace, and He brings them out of darkness by His Will unto light and guides them to a Straight Way (Islamic Monotheism). (Al-Ma'idah 5:16)
The simplicity of Islam and its appeal both to reason and to the heart accounts for its tremendous appeal. With teachings about God, human responsibility and the life hereafter which are very similar to those of Judaism and Christianity, it insists on the necessity of living a pure, God-centred life following the natural dictates of a balanced mind and conscience, following the guidance transmitted through the last prophet of God, Muhammad (peace be upon him). It honours the previous great prophets of the Bible, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and many others (may peace be upon them all), and also reiterates the belief of early Christian communities concerning the prophetic mission of Jesus (may peace be upon him), ascribing divinity to the Creator alone.
Media propaganda against Islam
A Muslim (one who submitted his will to Allah, the Almighty God) should not follow the speculations and rumors. As we know many news are based on hypothesis and speculations. Majority of our Medias are interested in sensational news. Unfortunately, nowadays some people have accepted a method for getting famous or to sell his/her books more in market by writing blasphemy about Islam. Medias are giving very much importance for this peace of writings and hence, trying to malign Islam.
In fact Islam, in terms of its beliefs and practices, is a threat to all capitalistic countries since Islam strictly prohibiting prostitution, drugs, adultery, lesbian, homosexual, lottery, alcohol, abortion, interest etc which is one of the inevitable features of every capitalistic country. They gradually realised this fact that if people accept Islam it will be a threat for their existence and hence, trying to tarnish Islam through their media as a terrorist religion. Through this sort of propaganda they are trying to create a misconception about Islam to prevent people from accepting it. But they can not put off the light of this true religion as Allah says in Quran:
And say: "Truth (i.e. Islamic Monotheism or this Qur'ân) has come and falsehood (i.e. Satan or polytheism, etc.) has vanished. Surely! Falsehood is ever bound to vanish." (Al-Isra 17:81)
Meanwhile I am not overlooking the reality that some sects among the Muslims are responsible to spread extremism in the world and they have led to the birth of destructive political movements, as well as promoting un-Islamic revolutionary modes of thought among the Muslims. They have been misinterpreted the Quran and Sunna for their political motives and hence, misunderstood by the people that Islam is a politically oriented religion to rule the entire world. Islam is not a religion to conquer the land to establish an Islamic state but it conquering and purifying the heart of the people to prepare them for the life after death through the remembrance of Allah, the Almighty God. Islam stands for tolerance not for intolerance and shows willingness to recognize and respect the beliefs or practices of others without compromising its own beliefs and practices.

Avoid dual stand
Then, how can you blame Islam for the disbelief and un-Islamic practices of some name sake Muslims?! We Muslims never blame the religion when Hindus, Christian, Sikhs etc do any anti social activities. How can you call a terrorist with the name of Muslim as Islamic Terrorist? We Muslim do not call Hitler as a Christian terrorist even he was a Christian and killed millions of innocent people. We Muslims do not call the Americans who put atom bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and killed millions of innocent people ‘Christian terrorists’, even as the men who bombed were Christians by religion.
We Muslims do not call anyone a Hindu terrorist even when some of them have killed innocent Christians and Muslims inIndia
We Muslims do not call anyone a Hindu terrorist even when some of them have killed innocent Christians and Muslims in
Islam means PEACE
So please do not judge a religion by analyzing the people and get a conclusion about that. Islam means, achieving peace by submitting ones will to Allah, the Almighty God and it promotes peace and universal brotherhood among the people. Islam has very clear cut ideas for achieving this goal (peace and the universal brotherhood) through presenting an acceptable common term for the entire people in the world i.e.' There Is No One Worthy of Worship but Allah, the Almighty God Alone and No Partner and No Associate for Him' If you accept this common term as most of the religion said, then definitely I can say that peace and tranquility between people will prevail in this world.
Nothing like Allah, the Almighty God
There are lot of gods can be seen in India America and accused that he was poisoned by America
Allah, the Almighty God says in Quran about Him in Surah Al-Ikhlas (The Purity)
1. Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)): "He is Allâh, (the) One.
2."Allâh-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks).
3."He begets not, nor was He begotten;
4."And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him." (Al-Ikhlas 112:4)
Punishment in Islam
To keep the peace and stability of a society, Allah, the Almighty God has given some rules and regulations through His revelation, the Holy Quran and Sunna of Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him). Most of the people, even some Muslims have one misconception that Muslims are allowed to handle sharia laws individually. But it is absolutely wrong and against Islam. For example according to Islam rapist should be given death penalty. But in Islam, to punish a person for his guilty is allowed only in an Islamic state where the jurisprudence is based on Quran and Sunna .i.e. Sharia. There will be judicial court to decide whether the accused person/convict is really punishable or not. The verdict will be given only after the judicial proceedings of the Sharia court, which is absolutely based on the evidence and proofs. So it is very clear that Muslims are not allowed to handle law and order individually even in an Islamic state instead it has to be done by the concerned authority in the state.
But in the given picture, if it is true, it was performing by an ordinary man who has no right to punish a child or any one. Islam is not a religion to punish the people for their silly crime. There are many options in Islam to escape from even a murder case, like by giving compensation to the family members of the dead one (blood money) or without any compensation also the convicts can escape if the relatives of victim willingly admit to release the convict. So, how can you blame Islam?!
Regarding the punishment, may some people feel it is too severe but in reality world has realised the importance of severe punishment for some anti social activities of criminals who trying to disturb the peace and stability of the people. These criminals have no respect towards the life of people. They may even murder a person merely for the worldly gains and never bother about the value of respecting the women and children. It is relevant to remember the word of ex- Home Minister of India
I have one request, especially to my non Muslims readers, before blaming the religion of Islam after seeing the anti social activities of some name sake Muslims; please try to understand what really Islam said about it.
Quran says:” Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful admonition, and argue with them in ways that are better." [Sooratun-Nahl 16:125]
With the prayers for the peaceful life here and the hereafter
