Islam isn't under threat by our policies globally. Some would have you believe that America has, however, specifically targeted such an objective. Islam isn't under threat by our policies in Afghanistan. Some here would like to pervert that reality into a "perception" also.
I can't imagine what else needs to be said. Your opportunity to practice Islam in Canada, or Mastan Khan in America though, is secured and protected by our constitution and laws. It must be so to satisfy the diverse religious needs of our population. That's not the case in too many countries elsewhere and IS a cause for concern.
Left unaddressed in this or any other thread here, btw.
Like I said earlier- have faith in your faith. Those here appear intensely insecure in such. Their problem-not mine.
Thanks.
While agreeing to the importance of "having faith in our faith", I, or perhaps you - are not the one who phoned up the French head of state and tried to convince him that Iran is "Magog", and he, the Commander-in-chief of "neo-crusaders", just took down "Gog" in Iraq.
So who is giving whom a "Cause célèbre"?
If as you say, the objective is to promote secularism in places that would perhaps most "benefit" from it, war by foreign states is perhaps the least helpful instrument. Therefore, along this line, American policies in the Middle East and in Afghanistan are not threatening Islam per se - I grant you. To the contrary, it's probably feeding radicalism.
By that, it sure is threatening the budding flowers of secularism in the region.
