    Alot of us are stereotypical looking muslims, and islamophobia poses a threat to our lives. while the threat may not be big, it still exists, and it may hinder us throughout.

    however there is one thing i have noticed. some muslims i met on the internet left sectarian islam because of islamophobia, it caused them to reflect on what they were following and use their thinking. they wanted to know if what all the haters say is true, about violence and oppression in their 'religion'. well it only took one reading of bukhari commentary to confirm that it was infact true, one they did they're part in the thinking allah showed them this way.

    they say a healthy amount of opposition can be good. im not the only muslim who wondered if there was truth to what people criticize about islam. thinks like stoning to death, apostasy punishments, blasphemy punishments, slavery, all these things are infact true in hadith. so what "islamophobes" say isnt wrong. maybe its good! maybe this will jog sectarians' fitrah and they'll realize "hey what i blindy follow isnt morally right!"

    this is just what i observed. although i dont think islamophobes take too kindly to no hadithers either, but still i think they'l have a part to play in reviving true islam. i always wondering why allah let so much 'islamophobia' be present today, and maybe thats why! to get the sectarians to self reflect.

    infact it should be called ; "sectarian islam phobia" which tbh after some thinking doesnt even sound irrational.

    lets just hope we all stay safe muscle handshake

      Islamophobia has caused "Islam" to become the fastest growing religion.... (whether good or bad)

      I started reading the Quran because of Islamophobia - I first came into Hadithism and then made the Quran my everything and rejected Hadithism and the scriptures that Hadithists have set up alongside the Quran.
      Hadithism is fairy stories that are made up to inspire a false sense of belief.

      But slowly, an objective, non-culturlalist mind can easily reject falsities.

      I know of many people who read the Quran principally because of Islamophobia.
      Funny how hate works.

        As a side note, I've noticed that some people criticize Islam based on plain observations/rumors, which is ok. But there are others who use observations/rumors to make arguments against Islam, while they are actually just ideologically and emotionally anti-Islam, no matter what Islam is.

        What I'm saying is that some people, in my experience, prefer that Islam is bad. It sounds odd, but they don't like when there are sound and reasonable alternatives to traditional and horrible practices. For example, some people prefer that the Quran ordinates the cutting of hands instead of cutting of means. They want Islam to be bad, and don't like when the bad things are proven wrong within Islam. They would not support a sensible and humanist Quran-alone Islam, because they need the sectarian version so that they have an Enemy which is clearly bad, so they they in turn seem good.

        I've met such people, and I'm surprised at their mentality.

            And now it is uniting the American citizens

            Last year, all those people were fighting with each other

            Despite the tension about Trump's extremism, the bond I am seeing is making me smile )

            People are finally realizing that harming one harms us all

                I have a feeling that it has something to do with ISIS because their religion is based on finance instead of Islam. The second thing probably is the fact that more people in the west are choosing to not affiliate with any religions esp Christianity. That would make population of other religions esp Muslims look more in number. I see a few converts who seem to think leading life like an Arab equals to being Muslim.
