A framework for Islam

A framework for Islam

Ford Van parked in the Black side of the street. A normal day seemed peaceful everyone concerned about their own work, living their lives as usual.

No one suspected anything.

"Are you ready?" Undertaking, voice male front seat broke the silence. Rodger, tightening the belt, nodded once in agreement. A man opened the door and went back Rodger.

Looked right and left, scanning the road for the right moment to approach. With your right foot forward, crossed the street to the right occupied on the sidewalk outside. A giant white stone building there watching, questioning his arrival. Not theirs.

Came slowly.

Documents of brewing, people talking, the phone ringing, the steps of passing, keyboards, typing … all the noise stopped when he felt isolated in their own bubble.

With folded hands down, raised his right thumb. The beating heart, closed his eyes and took one last deep breath.

Finally, click the button.

In less than a second, the building complained of pain because they blackened the sky with thick smoke covered the streets with small pieces. The quiet city of New York was hysterical, by Wall Street building had been bombed. Several journalists and reporters came to the destination as soon as possible to inform citizens of another terrorist attack.

Today, the media have great influence on the people of this generation. Citizens around the world rely on some type of media to keep up with events occurring around them and local events in the world. However, most of the time, the media is not providing accurate information exactly as it happened. Muslims have been victims of media communication, called terrorists and immoral stereotypes led to the murderers, the Islamic religion has become vague to most people. People in countries Westerners do not have adequate knowledge about Muslims and are based largely on information given by the media. The Muslim owner of two images in the world today: the dominant image that shows the religion of Islamic terrorism as a supporter of murder, and the daily life of a Muslim people do not recognize around. The media clearly gives out a false negative declaration of Islam as a violent religion tolerate the murder of people leaving West's fears and concerns.

Typical Muslims on television or in newspapers and magazines as barbaric individuals with a machine gun in a hand and the Koran in the other to kill innocent people like them in the name of God. After the destruction of the twin towers Center> World Trade Center New York incident on 9 / 11 in 2001, Americans have developed resentment against Muslims. After answering several classmates in the image they see Islam as Chase Sutton, Kate Wagner, Majed Al Harthi and media support and, like most Americans, believe that Muslims are actually terrorists.

Jews and Muslims were not the best of friends lately, in fact, there were friends to begin with. Creation of the Jewish state, Israel, had a stint as an endless war with Islamic countries, in Palestine. Since then, the Jewish people and Muslims do not get along. Muslims feel the need to support their Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine, and thus inadvertently not like Israel. In Lebanon since birth, had learned not to trust the Jews and I am biased towards them. I confess I do not like Jews, but only because I was raised not to. I never had a choice of mine. Similarly, many Jews have struggled to win a country that is clean and not give up so easily. This war Israel and Palestine drained all the good feelings between the two.

Studies have shown that Jews control most of the media today. Figure 1 illustrates the first five Jewish businessmen who control over 96% of funds communication of the world in terms of mediachannel.org. AOL Time Warner, Disney Channel, Vivendi Universal AC Bertelsmann, Viacom and news organizations are the names of five companies. As shown in Figure 1. News Corporation, the company owns many channels and newspapers around the world. Controls the satellite TV and satellite STAR Phoenix reached over 300 million people in Asia. News Corp also broadcasts to people in Europe and Latin America. It also controls the channels like Fox News and the New York U.S. Post and hundreds of channels in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Joel Stein agrees with this idea when he said in his article "Who runs Hollywood? Come on, "that" when the studio bosses took out a full page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild terminate her contract, the open letter was signed by the chairman of News Corp., Peter Chernin (Jewish), chairman of Paramount Pictures, Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co., Robert Iger, CEO (Jewish), Michael Lynton, Sony Pictures (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CEO of CBS Corp. Leslie Moonves (If the Jewish great-uncle was the first Prime Minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal, Jeff Zucker, CEO (mega-Jews) "(Los Angeles Times, December 19, 2008). It is no coincidence that all these owners channels are the most successful Jews. If companies Jews control 96% of funds communication with a wide variety of news channels and the media views Muslim terrorists are the Jews responsible for tarnishing the image of Muslims? In my opinion, I think that the Jews just to show the world what we are Muslims because of their ill-treatment of another. Jews can see Muslims as terrorists because of their constant Palestinian struggle end up killing people on both sides. This problem does not return to the endless struggle over Palestine between Jews and Muslims, Jews and Israel for fear of losing.

Opposition to Islam tend to use parts of the Koran to show that violent religion. As Ibn Warraq says in his article "Islam encourages terrorism "That religion encourages its followers to fight and kill in the name of Allah" to support its argument took the Koran verses (2). He uses lines like "Do not yield to the unbelievers, but fight vigorously with the Koran" and "disarmed in March or equipment, the battle for cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. It is better for you if you but knew "(3). However, Nada El Sawy article" Yes, I'm Muslim I am not a terrorist ", which contradicts the verses, he chose a verse too. It uses the text line that says:" Fight those who fight Allah against you, but do not commit aggression, for Allah loves not the transgressors "(al-Baqarah 2:190) assessment that can not jump to conclusions, instead of continuing research is required (2). He obviously has a lot of research, but, Nada El Sawy article said that a good number of Americans sense of God, but we know that "I love God," but "without understanding that God is simply the Arabic word for God" (1). This confirms that most U.S. citizens not have the information necessary for an understanding at least some aspects of religion, to judge the wisdom of Islam as the religion that I think so.

In addition, people can simply read the Qur'an and understand the different characteristics of religion is needed much more than that. Karamali Sumbul Ali, author of "The Muslim Next Door" clarified one important detail left out. There is one and only one version of Quran and is in Arabic. Clearly explained in Chapter 4 that the translation of the Quran is not accurate because "the translation would not be able to convey meaning exact Koran (63). The translations of the Koran are not the Koran, but they are "different attempts to translate the meaning" of the Arabs in English or another language (63). Therefore, we can not rely on interpretations of the sacred book of understanding religion and gets deep. So think about it, Shakespeare wrote many works of literature that remain intact during all these years to preserve the exact meaning that Shakespeare intended to convey. The same question applies to the Koran, and therefore to understand the Quran, one must understand the holy book, as it came all in Arabic. All these attempts to use verses from the Koran to demonstrate violence and aggression that proved unnecessary because there is no contradiction with verses to overcome and outnumber the "hard" lines.

Last but not least, political leaders play an important role in life these days and the policy itself. However, the strong relationships between a political leader and other attacks can lead to a straw man to another, attacking its image and character rather than his political views. Osama Bin Laden may have made stupid decisions, but much more. Personally, I do not like the actions of Osama because, in my opinion, should be classified as barbaric and irrational. The mass murder of people not show innocent humanitarian aspect is a quality that defines the Islamic religion. With so many fans did not necessarily mean that the actions are morally right. Osama uses religion to explain his actions, but do not know what has really changed the way people see Islam today. However, it was the only leader politician who has killed many innocents. Hitler, for example, killed a lot more than bin Laden and in fact the Jews genocide. Not even follow the Islamic religion. Obviously, a person must be a Muslim to kill other innocents. People use the Islamic religion as an excuse for their acts of barbarism.

In short, despite all opposition, some of America are willing to make known the Islamic religion on their identity, apart from the stereotyping media. The media can go a bit over the edge sometimes, but for the reason that people should not believe everything you see or hear until verify that the information is relevant.
