Reclaiming the Faith from Orthodoxy and Islamophobia
- Reclaiming the Faith from Orthodoxy and Islamophobia Betsy Wurzel 37:14
We explore how people of any religion can manipulate beliefs to suit their agendas, the unfair stigmatization of Muslims due to the radical actions of a few, and the contrasting lack of stigmatization for other religions with radical elements. We also discuss how media often misinterprets and misrepresents Quranic verses, fueling misconceptions and discord.
Saqib’s goal with this book is to educate readers about Islam, its history, and factual information, with the hope of dispelling stereotypes. We touch upon the renowned poet Rumi, a Muslim scholar whose quotes are widely shared on social media, yet many remain unaware of his background. I read a quote from Rumi: “Listen with ears of tolerance, see through eyes of compassion, speak with the language of love,” which encapsulates the essence of Saqib’s message.
