There are many misperceptions of Islam, just like there used to be with the aboriginals. The West thought the aboriginals were bad guys. In the movies, long time ago, there were stories about cowboys and Indians. They made the Indians look like bad guys. Now we are respecting First Nations and learning about them. We even celebrated their culture in the 2010 Olympics.
Today we have the same thing with Islam. There are many misperceptions that sometimes come from media reports. Often, people are ignorant about the faith of Islam.
The Quran tells us that mankind was created by a single Creator “from a single soul.” That means we were once all together. It would be nice to go back in time and restructure the harmony. But now all we can do is learn about each other’s common humanity.
