i'll openly say "political Islam" is dangerous and it's a cancer to the Muslim world
it isnt Islam - it's just vote-bank politics mixed with fanatacism and even sectarianism......and those are wonderful recipes to divide countries - whether its Iraq or Libnan or Pakistan or Syria, Turkiye etc.
I say to hell with political Islam....keep religion in your heart and mind your own business. Make yourself strong through education and working hard - then you will have the means to help others and be role model. That's real Islam (as i see it)
the cultural practices in Muslim world vary....let people decide how they want to live. Dont judge others and be ignorant. But there are certain 'norms' that all practicing Muslims will abide by - or should.
again - personal choice!
