I`ll tell you something. In the west there are many things that distort Islam.
In the east, the situation is different, you even find opposing ideas.
For example, you find different branches among Muslims: You have Shia Islam Sunni Islam...
... and there are two other--but I can't remember their names right now. For example, Iranians are Shiite.
What makes us different? Well, maybe the way we look at things.
We, Sunni, follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
But what happens? They see an enemy in us, without a reason. They call us Muslims terrorist.
But we know, in the Koran is prohibited to hurt one's neighbor. You can’t hurt one's neighbors
There are fanatics; I am not saying that there aren’t...
There are fanatics that do things that hurt the religion, but that doesn't mean that all Muslims are like that.
So there are some that are not even Muslims that do things to be seen like that...
But no, not all Muslims are like that. We Muslim do not hurt anyone.
And when someone hurts us, what happens?
We know that there is divine justice, God's justice, which sooner or later will come.
And that God is the only Judge among all things. God is the only one that can judge.
We do not have any right to take someone’s life.
There are many things. In the west they don't accept Muslims as such. If you say you are Muslim...
Worse if you are a young man. It is very sad for a young man to say that they are Muslims.
They accuse him of being a terrorist, you are this, you are that. The women...?
Ah! The women are abused, the women are beaten by their husbands...
...they are force into marriages with four wives. No!
So, these prejudices do nothing but confuse people. But No.
Where there is knowledge, there you always understanding.
But I also believe that here, in Latin America, since Islam is not widely spread, you find these confusions
& there are few Muslims, you find these confusions. And there are just a few Muslims
but if we all, in one life voice, speak-up and say:
that the only true religion in the world is Islam and that we, as Muslims, do not hurt anyone.
I believe things would change, believes would be changed, and attitudes would change.
We would avoid so many wars; we would avoid so many deaths...
But we are still waiting, things will keep going their way,
but sooner or later one day, the entire nation will be Muslim.
