Islam & the Muslim faith- banishing myths
Like so many things for me, I find that I learn by others and what they can show me with ideas and resources. I am deeply concerned about what is going on in the US (the world?) about Islam and what it means to be Muslim.
Of course I have problems with how women are treated within this realm. Yet, I see many working to deal with these issues. I know that even as a person that has a spiritual life, I do have difficulty with any kind of blind faith. I also know that I have much to learn about both Islam and the Muslim faith even if I fall on the liberal, more progrssive side of things politically. This isn't an area I feel I know very much about. With all of the negative kinds of actions and feelings in the US about Islamic ideology and Muslims, I believe too much myth is out there. So, anyone that can speak to this, please do! There are a lot of members here that have a wealth of information about so many things. |
