The elephant in the room I see is that Muslims play along nicely, when they are a minority. That seems to be this man's perspective.<br>However, when Muslims become a (perceived) majority population in a particular area, they tend to turn rather intolerant towards (perceived) minorities in the area. There are cases of Muslim neighbourhood patrols harassing scantly clad women walking around alone, people walking around drinking a can of beer or other alcoholic beverage etc. Despite those acts being perfectly legal in that particular country, those people have their rights and freedoms openly denied via hostile motions and actions.<br>In case an ethnic group desires (demands) tolerance and a peaceful coexistence, it needs to reciprocate and address (suppress, eliminate) any intolerant attitudes and behaviours from its side. Otherwise, this is just hypocrisy and double standard, which can bring no peace in the long run.,(reply>), @A Czech Man Going His Own Way The truth is simple, so that it will be easier for us to be guided.,(reply>), @Abdul Hamid III Man, I wish it was that simple...,(reply>), ​@A Czech Man Going His Own Way No, religion is not carrier of morality but the origin of morality. Even liberal secular country's laws are followed like a religion now. Morality is manipulated through media so for example: Eating meat is fine in most places but lets say in 200 years its banned in USA.<br><br>So we don't follow humans' desires and experimental laws and instead follow the God's guidance on social," economic aspects and more. <br><br>Allah AZWJL says: <br><br>وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنِ اتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِنَ اللَّهِ<br><br>And who is more astray than him who follows his desires without any guidance from Allah<br>(Sūratِ al-Qasas No.28"," Āyat 50)<br><br>and also He says: <br><br>وَإِنْ تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنْ يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ<br><br>And if you pay heed to the majority of those on the earth", they will lead you astray from God’s way. They follow only conjecture (not knowledge), and they themselves do nothing but make guesses (they pronounce and act according to their fancies, selfish interests, and personal value judgments).<br><br>--<br><br>We did not come from random events and the sun, moon with its different sizes are positioned by God so perfectly that when eclipse occurs they overlap each other, is that not a sign? <br><br>So instead of each US states, western countries having different laws &amp; morals - experimenting with their own desires," isnt it better to follow the guidance of God? <br><br><br>Allah AZWJL says in Quran: <br><br>أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ<br>Were they created of nothing"," or were they themselves the creators?<br>- Surat At-Tur"," verse 35<br><br>And:<br><br>كَيْفَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَكُنتُمْ أَمْوَاتًا فَأَحْيَاكُمْ ۖ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ<br>How do you deny Allah and you were dead and He gave you life? Again He will cause you to die and again bring you to life; then you shall be brought back to Him.<br>- Surat Al Baqarah"," 28<br><br><br>If you believe ALL OF THIS!

The world is not black and white and it is not a simple cause-&gt;effect system, either.<br><br>Morality is not something inherently religious in nature. It can be derived analytically, through deep understanding of human psychology and social systems (which is how the holy books and religions came to be). Although religions have been convenient and highly effective carriers of morality throughout our history.<br><br>The problem with following one God and His commandments lies in its authoritarian (supremacist) nature. What if two (groups of) people cannot agree on which God or Commandments are the "right" ones to follow? How is this supposed to be resolved?<br>I can see only two solutions in general:<br>1) Give up authority/supremacy and tolerate others to behave according to their chosen Commandments (provided they do not infringe on rights and freedoms of others, of course). Renounce and remove any intolerant aspects of faith and allow a peaceful side-by-side coexistence.<br>2) survival of the fittest - let the outcomes and raw societal performance decide, might makes right, a.k.a. the USA way of doing things. An unfortunate and sad way of resolving conflicts, but this seems to be the dominant pattern throughout the history of mankind, up to and including this very day.,(reply>), If what you say is true (neighborhood patrols) and Muslims act this way unprovoked, then it is wrong. We acknowledge that fully. <br><br>If you are atheist, then know there is no good/bad without religion &amp; its morals - God provided morality to the world thru religion.<br><br>If you are Christian, then remember the verse <br>For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,"<br>from Bible <br><br><br>We must worship one God alone and to follow His commands via the prophets (Moses", Jesus, Muhammed SAW)
