Isn't he (Barack H. Obama) an Arab?
This was a question posed to the other presidential candidate Mr Cain.
He dealt with it nicely, if not decisively, but the point remains in focus.
There are people in US who can not differentiate between an Arab and a Muslim in general.
And the deep books coming out of the Europe and the US should not trick us into believing that our brothers and sisters, on the whole, from those area know about Islam and Muslims.
And they do not know nearly at all about the Muslim point of view.
Because we have not taken time to put forward our point of view to them.
We are doing some thing here at SF but that is very little-if you consider the requirement.
And, if the truth be told, we went into a hibernation of a few centuries, we forgot to develop an Islamic view of the things-particularly the things that have happened in last few centuries.
There are very few blogs that offer Islamic perspective of Psychology.
There are very few blogs that offer Islamic perspective of Economics.
There are very few blogs that offer Islamic perspective of Physics.
Same is true of military sciences and defense, zoology and botany, evolution, sociology, politics and nearly every other walk of life.
Whether the world accepts it or not is a secondary question.
First we must have a perspective to offer.
If we do not do even this much then the least that will keep happening is that the detractors of Islam and Muslims will keep getting their walk over.
I heard a senior bureaucrat saying that the mere presence of a Muslim in a government office changes the notings taking place in that office.
The whole world is saying the things about Islam and Muslims that are widely off the mark.
Isn't it our duty to furnish the correct information.
And if we do not do that then who shall do that?
So, dear Sunni Forumers, please start blogging about the aspect of life and knowledge that you know about.
Give up your inertia, hesitation and more than anything else your lack of concern for Ummah.
Start your blog today. It takes only five minutes to do so.
