I wish if I could resist posting defending my religion statuses! But what saddens me the most is that I know as a person coming from my country and living previously in a couple of Muslin majority countries that most people do respect the West , wishing to study there and dreaming of having democratic Governments like theirs instead of our corrupted ones. Coming with this mindset I felt shocked when I discovered that wearing a piece of cloth on my head could mean that people would be afraid to stand by me alone in a bus station and would look with fear to my big fat laptop bag -which I obviously did get rid of !- I know a couple of the most descent men in the world who dedicated their lives and scarified their careers to work on projects in my country that give free meals for poor children to continue education , yet in some airports they are picked out and get searched and asked all sort of weird questions for hours, without having any illegal activities in record! Mostly we dont complain about these negative experiences, as am sure many of us take it a chance to reflect on ourselves , to see how much we believe in what we are practicing and to try to have answers on why could it make sense to take the offense while you have the choice to take of the scarf and hide your Muslim identity . For me it was a good exercise to see how strong would I stand for my beliefs regardless of how others would perceive me and to think more about the logic behind them, it definitely made me understand my religion better and to feel more connected with our prophet as I am more able to sympathize and understand the abuse and challenges that he faced, and I am blessed to have this experience. Linking Islam to terror is sad and is for me ,as a practicing Muslim , pure lies. Taking the verses of war in the Quran out of context is a poor way that criminals like ISIS members use to legitimize their acts, and most of us Muslims are firmly against their craziness . I refuse the term extremist Muslims that media uses, because it refers that there is a violent version of Islam ,which we all Muslims know that does not exist! ISIS members should be called criminals not extremist. In life I guess there would always be people who are in the category of criminals, and instead of blaming religions and races we should as human try to solve the reasons that are causing the phenomena of terror and violence in our world. Am sure there is no one kid in the world who says that he dreams of becoming a criminal or a terrorist when he grows up! we should try as societies to solve the challenges that some might face and lead them to choose to kill others. Finally after this long depressing status, this brave and wise man, is standing for us in a time where I think it is not the best choice for any one in the world to show any empathy for us!! which ironically reminds me of slavery and anti-semitism eras.
