REFORMING ISLAM

The Muslims are defend and justifying violence, even the so called "moderate" Muslims, it is true, I know them. I don't know one billion people, but almost all the Muslims I know, do. Let me shed some light on the image of a Muslim I'm talking about. A person can be a Muslim, but also not think about the Muslim stuff. The Muslims are not always doing Islamity, Muslimity, Jihadity, or Arabity. Often, the Muslims are doing daily stupidity, they're bored at work, they watch football, play it, go to work, yell or play at/with kids at home, or visit a wife every day - all this without constantly thanking the God, without talking Arabic, or having a beard. But, majority of them act Muslimically when they hear that something has happened bad in the Middle East. Those people suddenly share Islamity with the oppressed Middle Easterners. But, what exactly oppression are we talking about? In the Middle East? In China today? So, when a terrorist attack occurs in a E...

I have considered the fact that no two people have the same understanding of God. This is because God is factually not on sky, in a heaven, or at Olympus. God is - and can only be, to make the whole story logical - only in each one of us. Safe to say, but not least, in our minds.

We are of opinion that religious people should get along with a secular state, and accept that religion should not be taught at school. This is very important for Islam, because the Western-world's religion, at least in Europe, is becoming more secular anyway, and the religious principals of Christianity are becoming reformed, while Islamic thought is not.

I would like to share a link which tells a story about two fractions of Islam in China, the small fraction of Uygurs, who strive for separation, and the large nation of Hui, who outnumber the Uyghrs - but we don't hear about the Chinese government striking them to the re-educational camps. Please read the original article, post your comments here. https://time.com/3099950/china-muslim-hui-xinjiang-uighur-islam/

Getting more information about the religious rules will make you somebody who will conduct according to those rules. Unfortunately, this isn't the case when one learns about some other rules that aren't popular enough to be thought to children. Only as adults do we encounter some religious rules, that really don't have any purpose or use today, so no wonder how we can live without it. But it leaves out the whole picture.

It is hard to find a suitable spot to begin writing about what's all wrong with Islam and why it needs a thorough fast and meticious reformation. It is also difficult to spot a good goal for what Islam should or could become. It is a religion, and it will be a religion, but it is also a spirituality, individual pattern of faith, not only organised social belief (religion).

But, what exactly oppression are we talking about? In the Middle East? It’s been a century since the Europeans went to the Arab nations to help them fight against the Islamic government, at the time situated in Turkey. However, was it really the nationalism that helped the “westerners” to persuade the Arabs to fight the Turks? Weren’t Muslims united then, if they’re not united today?
