The coming of Islam to the west, expansion and its consolidation are much talked issues in both western and Muslim history works. the first wave of Muslim immigrants to Europe was as early as 710 when the first Arabs and north African Berbers landed on the Iberian peninsula, whew they founded a series of dynasties before the catholic reconquista at to end of the 15 th century 1492.Muslim cultures that arouse under these condition were of immeasurable importance in the development of Christian Europe. Unprecedented attacks of crusaders was another move of western countries to Muslim nations .this caused to bridge between Islam and the west and to interact both two civilizations each other. But another formidable fact is that the crusader is still continued by western countries and their crusade mentality. Another main phase of interaction between both civilizations was the establishment of Ottoman Khilafat in 1288 by Uthman Khan. The confrontation of ottomans and their everlasting f...

"Islam does not commend narrow-mindedness and racial and religious prejudice.It does not make the recognition of merit and virtue of human benevolence,mercy and love dependent upon and subject to distinctions of race and religion.Rather, Islam actually teaches us to respect every man is good,whatever his religion,and to be drawn towards merits and virtues,whatever be the religion or race of the person who possesses them.if human beings were to be free of religious prejudice,then how much more would God Himself have to be above such failings?" Abul Kalam Azad wrote in his journal al - Hilal in 1913. Azad was the pioneer of religious diversity in India.His understanding of God's oneness and that of religion was upon his deep and clear knowledge of Quranic teaching.To Quran , the prophets from Adam (PBUH)to Muhammad(PBUH) were sent by Allah to every nation( Qaum ).They all have taught the same religion A l -Islam or the "surrender to God".Those prophets taug...

read this article and think it over if you want to be anti- Islam Dear 'Muslim' Terrorist, A letter to a would-be terrorist. What exactly did you think you'd be gaining? Like for real, did you think your name would be up in lights? Did you think people would think you're the savior of the Muslim world or something? Did you think you were correcting all the injustices against Muslims in the world or even avenging them? No you're rather pathetic. First of all you did not think at all when you 'concocted' your stupid plan. Did you even bother to read about what Islam said about the issue? Yeah, don't bother reading some lone crazy Fatwa someone like you with wacky ideas and has no backing came up with. But did you even bother to ask a single real scholar of Islam? Like the hundreds and thousands of mainstream Islamic scholars out there. --Guess what they say-- That killing innocent people is Haram . Wow didn't get that bulletin did you. What's tha...

What is your answer to this question? Let us give our ears to Maulana Muhammad Ali, he responded very logically at the Round Table conference in 1930: "Where God Commands I am a Muslim first,a Muslim second,and a Muslim last and nothing but Muslim.My first duty is to my maker.But where India is concerned,where India's freedom is concerned,where the welfare of India is concerned I am an Indian first,an Indian second and an Indian last and nothing but an Indian" can we take proudly this stance to Islam and India ? I can .i am a Muslim ..an Indian ..i would like to be a real follower of Maulana Muhammad Ali... Do u want to be?

M. Fethullah Gülen's name gains daily prominence in the wake of ever-widening discussions and scholarly researches into the changing political and religious climate of Turkey today. Those hoping to influence future Turkish foreign policy invoke Gülen's ideals of tolerance and dialogue (see for example Turkish Islam and the Secular State: The Gülen Movement). Because Gülen also plainly denounces political extremism, especially the violent kind that calls itself and all too often dupes media outlets into calling it "Islamic", would-be players on the emerging political scene link their name to his, marking their moderate stance without having to criticize extremists themselves. Further, because Gülen's name also gains gravitas through frequent linkage in the academic arena with ancient Sufi sages, these proto -politicians can also lend themselves an air of erudition steeped in traditional values and reverence for the past. Through association with Gülen's ...
