A
major issue has been brought to the media’s attention how the current
immigration of Muslims, who practice Islam, and who are experiencing
difficulties in their assimilation in new environments not similar to their own
native customs and practices. We have witnessed a disaccord with the universe
as their means to live by their Quran is much different than other religions who
base their beliefs on “deeds” rather than “ideologies” making it more concrete
in structure and process.
In
my opinion, the mass immigration attempts by non-Muslim countries and
governments have produced quantities of failures. Failures that identify the
distinct differences in the religion, culture and practices of Islam compared
to the other religions of the world as well as governmental influences. Europe
is currently experiencing a tremendous trauma on the integration of immigrants
because they underestimated the influence of the masses.
Modern
man cannot possibly assimilate these forces organically. They are unable to
experience the exact influences, pressures and stress that emphasizes deeds and
actions rather than compliance to the universe around them. The conflict to
conform is too deep to ask them to change to the modern ways and leave their
Sharia and Quran behind – they will refuse to abandon any part of their
heritage and nationality, race, creed or culture.
Although
mankind has tried to conform beliefs in the past, they have failed to convert
the masses when in fact, Islam is the largest religion on Earth. Ultimately,
logic or common sense predicts that if the world wants peace, they will have to
conform to Islam to allow the existence of religious faith to rest making the
world one religion, one faith and one God, Allah.
Islam did not foster its ideas or
deeds in the same amount of time Christianity formed. In fact, one vital fact
to accept is the acceptance of historical developing habits of Islam and how it
governs daily life with habits that appear to run contrary to most other
religions as its formation during the earlier stages of life and the world,
appears to have taken a firm hold in the thoughts of those who believe this is
the only religion acceptable to worship and accept as the true faith.
I further suspect that there are
other elements such as illiteracy, confusion, educational barriers, and other
culturally developed “habits” that have no doubt rendered the religion to be misunderstood
by “outsiders” and therefore generates conflict and eventually, wars. Thus we
are dealing with an illusion of liabilities which is in fact, the true religion
and how that religion is to be performed or carried out.
Inspiration is a powerful tool as
is the passion to seek the truth for facts or happiness. Owning to the fact
there are mass influences of ignorance amongst the modern minds who refuse to
learn more about Islam, there are stigmas and stereotypes to overcome the
latter-day and the modern-day perceptions of Islam. One can imagine, over the
term of hundreds of years, it has fostered more hate and violence than it has
peace as Islam, ironically has been commonly been referred to as the religion
of peace.
Unless one can receive their own
fresh or free inspiration from Islam, there is no human means to convey what
the religions feels like or how it shapes and directs the evolution of this
religious experience as a convert or original believer. The schools of thoughts
have poisoned wells that incite disillusion and mix hatred and vitriol messages
amongst those who seek to understand it and vice versa, those who live it and
now attacked for their religious beliefs.
This
incapacity to receive fresh or clean thoughts of cultural concepts and
behaviors impedes assimilation both ways. Complicated by modern thought and
experience, the communication is often impaired and misunderstood. One could
cite one direct conflict after the other as we discuss “creation and
resurrection” and refer to the existence of Jesus Christ to begin the dialogue.
Embodied in many verses in the Christianity of beliefs, there is no such
existence in the Quran.
It
is reasonable when discussed, this provokes a kind of biological unity among
people causing a divide and isolation problem. This method of indifference to
theology can and has provoked violent reactions and psychological manipulation
to make one more powerful or influential than the other. It’s an unhealthy
competition that usually results in failures to find religious harmony. Can one
imagine trying to convert a Muslim to Christianity when their own laws dictate
Islam is a major element of their existence?
Why
would they abandon their own existence and take on a new unproven faith and
fail as well as risk the ostracized and isolation of their own family members
and cultural groups. The price is too high to pay for such a change to another
faith and totally disregards their freedoms, safety and security in their
lifestyle and behaviors. Human knowledge of religion is unforgiving. It is
concrete and set in stone for many.
As
a result of such risks and criticism internally or externally, the change
cannot be necessitated or performed successfully unless all ties are completely
severed. This is not based on materialistic needs but rather, a religious
philosophy rooted in traditions of Islam and its ancient and modern
developments.
Unfortunately,
this criticism is not limited to Islam; there is enough internal politicking
within their own religious organizations to cause even more conflict and
misunderstandings. It seems, due to biases, bigotry and an obvious level of
vitriol, any chance of harmony is quickly dissipating or disappearing. It would
be a surprise to find successful assimilation models that reflect mutual
harmonies without one group dominating the other.
Nativism
is alive and resurgent in many communities that have been designated to be
immigration points of arrival. There is a blatant refusal to accept anyone who
practices Islam as the fear factor dominates the educational aspect of the
topic or natural finality that such a merging is unacceptable or impossible.
Human
nature has developed natural enemies of the unknown or untried practices within
a community or country. We have learned to criticize before learning.
Our
finality in philosophical thinking is impaired by distorted truths or
perceptions fostered, manipulated or fabricated by a psyops methodology subvert
implanted in our media, our schools and communities to wart-off any attempts to
assimilate successfully. This refusal to accept fresh avenues of other views
has been blocked and presented with louder but less sound views that those
words and views set in those parable and lectures of the good book or Holy
Bible.
Hence
our duty is to be careful and not feed the devil with his own desire to hate
and cause pain in the world. Our duty is carefully to watch the progress of
human thought, and to maintain an independent critical attitude towards it so
that peace will prevail in the end rather than work so hard to end the world.
I enjoy reading your thoughts.
