Anti-Islamic Propaganda can humiliate Islam Temporarily but it cannot touch its strong Foundation.Dr Golam Sarwar(sarwarnnj.blogspot.com)

Anti-Islamic Propaganda  in talk shows/ analysis in western media ,most of them are false , misleading,politically motivated to undermine, Denigrate,Defame  Islam.It is unfortunate to use tiny minorities  fanatics ideology as Islamic principle to humiliate Islam and its Billions of decent followers. I am proud to be a Muslim as Islam has highlighted equal rights ,opportunity ,respect irrespective of Race, Colour,Sex,Ethnicity.Islam is the religion that liberated Humanity.

DR.GOLAM SARWAR(sarwarnnj.blogspot.com)

 Western media very skilfully and successfully promoting anti-Islamic sentiments within the Western public.
Following themes are providing the basis for Anti-Islamic propaganda in Media,press----

*Muslim women have no right,are suppressed, not allowed to drive.???
*Muslim women have to perform Genital Mutilation.?????
*Muslim women have to perform female genital mutilation: 
*Muslim women do not have economic freedom"
*Muslim women are not allowed to vote" , 
*Islam promote violence, Not only Islam no religion promote violence ,it is the wrong people who promote violence for political purpose using religion.---Although Prophet and his followers  were  always  attacked & persecuted  by the Qurayish  he continue to preach Islam by virtue of knowledge,wisdom.People coverted to Islam by virtue of his teaching & logic.

*These are all false and misleading information about Islam,social structure of one  muslim country should not be used as Islamic /Quranic principle.

Muslims are all being painted with the same brush. Such a generalisation is uncalled for. 

Followings are major  schools of law:   For Sunni Islam : Hanbali/Hanafi/Maliki/Shafi'i
                                                               For Shiite School: Ja'fari.
Hanbali School followers: Saudi Arabia/Qatar/Kuwait,Bahrain ,some syria,& Iraq/Afganistan(Taliban)
Hanafi School followers:
Most liberal in Egypt,India,Pakistan,Bangladesh,Turkey,Balkan,China,Europe, central Asia.
Malike School followers: North Africa, Tunisia,Libya,Algeria,Morocco.
Shafi'i School followers:Indonesia,Malayasia,Brunei,Yemen, Srilanka,part Syria.
Jafari School followers: Iran

Government Strictly under Sharia Law: Saudi Arabia,(Under Monarch no election & no women representatives), Islamic Republic of Iran(under supreme council of Mullah ,there is democraticaly election process & women representatives in parliament.)

How  hardline Hanbali followers (Saudi Arabia /Qatari/Taliban ) interpret & practice Islam nothing to do with Prophet Muhammad SAW 'S Islam. Royal family  members themselves do not practice any religion at all but trying to impose strict laws in the name of Sharia laws initiated from Wahaabism /Salafism in 1744AD,supressing women,  applicable to non-Royal only.

Royal family members are immune and not under Strict Sharia laws. They are leading a lavish lifestyle .Its male  members are involve in Alcohol,Gambling, Sexual promiscuity & Exploitation of women . Its women are exempted from Hijab,Borka or Veil and going to USA,Europe without any Islamic dress code with big Ontorage of servant wearing Borka.These Royal women going to west for Breast implant /Reconstruction, Female Genital reconstruction  these are not Islam.Their intension is clear to rule ordinary people.That is one of the easy way Ruller /Elite govern a country with impunity.


ROYAL FAMILY 20000,PRINCESS 7000, RATIO : ORDINARY MUSLIMS  SAUDI =1:5000. LEADING A LAVISH LIFESTYLE  SQUENDERING ALL OIL MONEY DEPRIVING & DECEIVING ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO ARE IN SHARP CONTRAST LEADING IMPOVERISH LIFESTYLE ,STRUGGLING WITH POVERTY AND UNEMPLOYMENT.

Few point highlighted by Western media, like------
1) Muslim women have no right , are supressed , not allowed to drive===== These are absolutely wrong or politically motivated information,No where in the muslim countries it is true except Saudi/Qatar as I have explained above why Saudis doing that ,and they do not represent Islam.

 Here are the women leaders of Muslim-majority countries, most of them freely elected by Muslim publics .
Tansu Çiller, elected prime minister of Turkey, 1993-1996
Benazir Bhutto, elected prime minister of Pakistan 1988-1990, 1993-1996
Mame Madior Boye, appointed prime minister of Senegal, 2001-2002.
Megawati Sukarnoputri, elected president of Indonesia, 2001-2004
Khaleda Zia, elected prime minister of Bangladesh, 1991-1996 and 2001-2006
Sheikh Hasina, elected prime minister of Bangladesh 2009-
Roza Otunbayeva, president of Kyrgyzstan, 2010- 2011
Atifete Jahjaga, elected president of Kosovo 2011-

2)"Muslim women have to perform female genital mutilation:  " Absolutely false & misleading--

This is absolutely wrong, It is not in Islam,  it is in African Culture.Eritria (Christian country) Practice female genital mutilation.So again misguided ,wrong information.

3) "Muslim women should stay at home ,not allowed go to University": Absolutely false & misleading-------------------------

 It is not applicable in a single muslim country , except Taliban, Muslims women around the muslim countries are highly educated .In many muslim countries even they are holding the top job  from Prime Minister, Business executive,Judges,professors.Number of muslim women holding such high ranking job ,even rare in Western Countries.

What Prophet Mohammad SAW said about Education &  women--
" Acquisition of knowledge binding on all muslims ,male & female"
"Seek knowledge, from Cradle to the grave"
"Acquire knowledge even if you have to go to China"
"The person who goes forth in search of knowledge is striving hard in the way of Allah, until his/ her return"

4)"Muslim Women not allowed to drive:"absolutely false---------------
It is only applicable in Saudi Arabia  who follow Salafi/Wahaabi Islam originated in 1744AD: Their version of islam contradict Prophet Muhammad SAW Islam.   Islamic Scholars & Muslim countries does not acknowledge version of Islam, unfortunately they are the best friend of USA/ISRAEL/EUROPE.

5)"Muslim women do not have economic freedom" Absolutely false--------

In Islam the independent economic position of women has been established during the Prophet Mohammad SAW 's time and also obligation of the husband to make (MEHR) settlement on his wife in proportion to his means at the time of marriage.Any property that a women might acquire by her own effort or might inherit as an heir or receive as a legacy or gift, belong to her independently of her husband.

We all know Bibi Khadija(AS) was a wealthy trader inherited from her father Khuwaylid bin Asad.After marrying Prophet Mohammad (SAW) continued her business ,she spent her wealth for Islam.We also know in 616AD ,when Quraish isolated Bani Hashim (the Prophet family) family and they took refuge. It was Bibi Khadija who donated all her wealth that sustained Muslim at that time.The siege lasted for 3 years.After her death Bibi Ayshah RAW became renowned as a scholars and one of the greatest sourse of 'Hadith'


Prophet Mohammad SAW saidThe best of you is he who is the best to his wife  and I am the best of you for my wife" Tirmidhi'.1400 years ago Islam gave women right to:---

a)Own and dispose property and earning without guardianship.
b)To be educated and to go out for work.
c)To choose their husband and keep their own family names.

6)  In Quran Women are  strictly recommended to carry their father's name not husband's name , in west and other religion once marriage they are recommended  to change wife's name in line with husband.

7)Muslim women are not allowed to vote" , again absolute lie ------Only applicable to Saudi Arabs  ,their version of  Islam contradicts Prophet Muhammad SAW 's Islam. In Majority muslim countries muslim women  are not only able to vote, they are the head of State.

8)Islam does not support violence,hostility,hatred,discrimination,communal disharmony.Prophet Muhammad PBUH has spread though Knowledge,Justice and peace.Our Holy Qur'an says "killing innocent people is equal to kill all mankind and saving a life is equal to save all mankind (Sura Al-Maidah-5:30).He was always persecuted by Quraish

WOMEN IN ISLAM & OTHER RELIGION AFTER MARRIAGE:

No other religion  or country has given women the same right as Islam
In ISLAM:Once married Women should keep all Asset's inherited from  her father in her name and husband are not entitled to receive any money from her income until or unless she willingly give it.
Prophet Muhammad PBUH did not inherit his wife's Bibi Khadija's PBUH business,asset's or income after marriage and she continued her business even after marriage.

The Quran states "And they ( women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them " (Holy Quran 2:228). Women has equal political rights as men . This include right to participate in public affairs.

In Encyclopedia women status in Roman law " Once married women and her property passed into the power of her husband. The wife was the purchased property of her husband,like a slave acquired for his benefit."

According to common English law All properties which a wife held at the time of marriage became a possession of her husband.Husband was entitled to receive the profit & rent from that property.Later  married women property Act in 1870 amended in 1882,1887 married women achieved the right to own property.

In Judaism:Income from the wife's assets belongs to her Husband and Husband inherit his wife.He also has rights in the assets that the wife brings from her home.

Hinduism:Marriage itself means the girl belongs to another family,in the sense that it is at their pleasure that she enjoys the security of a home but home does not belongs to her.She does not have any right to expect anything from parent home.

Islam has given women that right from Prophet Mohammad SAW  622 AD when rest of the world  and their religion & societies considered women no better than slaves , or no rights whatsoever, Islam acknowledged women's equaility with men.

 Islam &The Holy Quran from the Prophet Mohammed SAW  is always fair and equitable.
The Quran states "And they ( women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them " (Holy Quran 2:228). Women has equal political rights as men . This include right to participate in public affairs.

I strongly believe these information will  help to educate all of us who are either ignorant or politically motivated against   the real position of Islam  .Islam is the religion that liberated Humanity.
