A good article/video by the BBC.

(Negative) Media portrayal of Muslims needs to change... but we Muslims also need to implement and promote self-improvement and engage more in self-criticism (within our communities). Without altering the core principles and fundamentals of Islam of course. 

Here are some questions:

- Are we (required to be) perfect (in Islam)?  How should we be towards others (as well as ourselves)

- What things/actions can we do to improve within our diverse communities?

- Are there things that we can learn from other (Muslim and non-Muslim) communities? (in my personal opinion: Yes... loads!!)

- If you think of other questions, then you are welcome to add to the list.


We could of course debate/talk about the criticism that we get from non-Muslims... bearing in mind that there is a fine line between what constitutes a constructive criticism (with good intentions), and what is inherently an attack on our values.


The world is changing fast towards multi-culturalism... and we all (Muslims and Non-Muslims) have no choice but to find good grounds for positive coexistence.


Please note: all opinions (including my own) are of course just that... i.e. OPINIONS. They could be right or wrong.


Comments welcome.
