Islamophobia, racism and religious hatred have been giving rise to various hate crimes against Muslims in various countries around the world; mostly in the West. Cases of brutal attacks, armed and un-armed are increasing at an alarmingly rapid pace.
A Muslim man stops a racist man in Norway trying to burn the Quran.
This hateful man belonged from an anti-Islamic group by the name SIAN (Stop the Islamisation of Norway) that carried out this abominable hate-crime in the Muslim-populated city of Kristiansand. The holiest book, Al-Quran was almost set to fire when a man launched himself in the direction of the culprit and tried to stop him from committing such blasphemy. Unfortunately, the Norway police instantly got into action and pinned him onto the floor, while the man offending millions of Muslims, walked free.
This video became the latest topic of debate, garnering various opinions and sentiments towards it. However, the bottom line is that the racist man has disappointed every Muslim around the world. In addition, respect, love, harmony, peace, tolerance, and co-existence should have been a norm by now. Sadly, we are still living in dangerous times.
‘Islam is a religion of peace’ – This fact is not only well-known but the enlightened non-Muslims accept it, as well. However, bigotry has always lingered in every society. Moreover, today this Quran burning incident in Norway was a grim reminder of the fact that so many anti-Muslim/Islam organizations exist around the world, working towards bringing havoc among the Muslims; attacking them, verbally abusing them and worse, murder.
Muslims nations need to address this issue together. One or two leaders cannot shoulder the entire burden of eradicating decades-old brainwash. We hope there will be a decrease in Islamophobic cases. Insha’Allah!
