Introduction
West doesn’t treat Muslims well. This is because of wrong stereotypes for Muslims. They doesn’t give Muslims their citizen rights. West thinks of all Muslims as terrorist. Term used for these extremist’s moment is “Islamophobia”. They think that a society without Muslims is peaceful as you can see in picture below:
Origin of Islamophobia
The incident of September 11, 2001 gave fuel to the fire. Today, mindset of West is that every women wearing hijab and men having beard is terrorist. Nowadays, we listen news of attacks on Masajids, Madrasas, women wearing hijab by extremists and they call Muslims as terrorist as they (muslims) are thriving to live peacefully and according to their religion.
You would also like to know importance of zakat and nisab in Islam.
Oppression On Muslims Around The Globe
There are lot of cases of oppression on Muslims around the globe India on Kashmir, Israel on Palestine, China on Uighur.
Reported cases of Islamophobia:
- A gang in Farrukhabad, India assaulted and robbed a family of 10 including women and children yelling “Kill them, they are Muslims”
- Extremists destroyed Al-Salam Mosque in France on April 20, 2008.
- Extremist stabbed two Algerian women under Eiffel Tower in Paris France on October 21, 2020
I can’t adjust all cases in an article because the oppression is all over the world. West has power but they can’t ignore 1.8 billion muslims. I want you to think if you are being oppressed and you don’t have anything to eat. In this case, a normal person would pick up a gun for self defense. This is what is happening on Muslims right now! Hence, it needs to stop.
Surveys That Shows Seriousness Of Islamophobia
- Ipsos conducted a survey on Muslim population in China on 2018. As a result every ninth in hundred people are Muslims but actual share of Muslims population in China is two percent. This shows that China is not only oppressing Muslims but making their population less day by day. In August 2018, UN committee heard that up to one million Muslims in China would be detained in Western Xinjiang region.
- In 2019, a survey was held in Netherland on approval of “burqa ban” and 75% agreed with this. So, It also shows Islamophobia symptoms. Therefore, peace is only solution for this but we need to stop those who provoke people towards Islamophobia.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I want to say that war is not a solution. Therefore, peace is must for communities across the oceans. Hence, Muslims should be given there proper citizen rights (if any) and above all human rights organization should wake up and help in rights distribution of Muslims. Moreover, President of France, Emmanuel Macron should know difference between freedom of speech and Islamophobia actions. These actions provoke other people. We, as a Muslim should work for peace and follow our religion and show that Islam is a religion of peace.
