WHAT IS RELIGION?

Religion is a collection of belief
systems, cultural systems
and worldviews that relate humanity to
spirituality and, sometimes, to moral values.
Its purpose is to make better human beings
and a better world.

MAHABHARTA
Krishna made the two armies
fight, and ordered Arjuna to kill
the enemy. Arjuna said, 'I can't
kill my own brothers,' and
Krishna replied, 'Do as I tell
you.' But Arjuna would not
listen. Then Krishna said, 'Look
into my face,' and Krishna
opened his mouth, and Arjuna
saw in it all his brothers and
relatives whom he had not
wanted to kill. So then he took
up his bow and started killing
them.
TRUE MEANING OF JIHAAD
. Jihad has the literal meaning of
exerting our best and greatest effort
to achieve something. It is not the
equivalent of war, for which the
Arabic word is qital. Jihad has a
much wider connotation and
embraces every kind of striving in
God’s cause

In Europe until the 19th century,
women did not have the right to own
their own property
1400 years earlier, Islamic law said
"What ever men earn, they have a
share of that and whatever women
earn, they have a share in that." Sura
4:31.
POLYGAMY

There has been polygamy in virtually every
culture and religion, including Judaism and
Christianity.
Only verse in the Quran that speaks about
polygamy, speaks about limiting not
instituting polygamy.
The verse was revealed after the Battle of
Uhud in which many Muslims were
martyred, leaving behind wives and children

INDIA PAKISTAN

debate
MUSLIMS ARE INFERIORS….

COLD WAR ERA- Crushed between the west &
dictators
Immigrants status in itself is be source of a lot of
grievance and frustration.
Illiterate and poverty stricken subjects see
themselves as inferiors and demand a separate
muslim state, where they believe their conditions will
improve.
WESTERN MEDIA CRUSADES
AGAINST ISLAM
The Media shapes public opinion
and covers realities by their
censorship.
The September 11th event is used
to capitalize its political gain.
These media depict Islam as
"fundamentalism", "extremism"
and "radicalism“
They try to justify the wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq
SUGGESTIONS
•

Instead of blaming Islam ,the government of all other
countries must help the middle east to form a stable
political regime so that illiteracy and poverty can be
reduced in muslim nations.

• To improve the image of Islam in the West it requires a
strong and persistent effort from Muslims themselves.
• Initiatives must be undertaken to educate non-Muslims
concerning correct Islamic concepts of peace and
tolerance and to clarify the incorrect views of Islam held
by some.
