This list is not for the discussion of religion. If you continue to
do so, you will be removed and blocked.<br><br>

This is a continuum of what I commenced. As we can observe, religion is
collectively abandoned in the west due to numerously contravened beliefs
and philosophical concepts. This is a recognisable phenomenon. People in
the west are heavily uncertain about what to determine in faith.
Religious beliefs are unestablished in the west. This is why you see lots
of people attempting to abandon and embrace various religions
simultaneously. I noticed lots of people who alternate religions, not
knowing what to infinitely embrace. Religion in the west is temporal and
experimental. The west does not like what we are satisfied with. Their
thirst for genuine faith has not yet been quenched. Of course, they will
argue to attempt proving otherwise but, their argument is based on
indecisiveness. This is why we see lots of moral corruption in the west.
Yes, the west adheres basic principles of morality but, it does not get
any conservation in their family disassociation, illicit and irregular
relationships and, the formal commendation of same gender marriage last
year in the States proves exactly what I am talking about. They may stick
to certain beliefs to improve their secular life such as work environment
and so on. They may not lie, not because lieing is a sinful act but,
because it comes against their interest. On other occasions, they may
attempt to justify lieing or deceit because it actually concurs with
their interest. I do not say that either Judaism or Christianity justify
these iniquitous acts but, the west does not regard religion as it should
be regarded. I do not necessarily consider that right or wrong, I am just
reporting facts. We may not agree with many things in the west and, our
disagreement with some western customs is essentially based on religion.
Western Christians may approve alcohol consumption, eating pork or not
kosher meat, they may possibly get engaged in wedlock and so on. What I
personally perceive, that the west restructured the use of religious
principles, so what it served their secular life, they embraced and, what
gets someone close to piety, they abandoned and actually, substituted It
with what satisfies their temporal pursuits. That is the major crisis in
the west and to be quite fair, even here. Lots of Muslims are abandoning
faith for almost the same reasons of faith abandon in the west.
People are tempted with lots of confusion and disarray. Even those who
may not abandon faith entirely, are not practicing properly. There is
actually an ordeal of religious adherence. The west though, determined to
impose expulsion of religious impact. Thus far, we ought to decease our
indolence and seek knowledge. It is plainly discernable that our
recognition of religion is quite different from what it is in the western
world. Our recognition is essentially based on
<a href="??">introspection</a> and repudiating cynicism. Our role is to
keep clarifying what religion is for us to those who predominantly
inhabit the western world. Religion is not highly revered in this culture
and thence, they may not conveniently apprehend why religion is so sacred
for us. This is why they did not fathom in Denmark for instance, why we
were so offended with the unhallowing caricature. This is a decisive
proof that the west in general does not recognize religion as sanctified
as we do. Church is really a place for socialisation more than it is a
place of worship. People do not stand in rows praying as we do in the
Masjid. They just sit down and listen attentively to the pastor and then,
they either sing or just leave. This is absolutely serious. Ramadan
approaches and that may keep me a bit occupied more than usual but, I
will inshallah make sure to render my posts on regular basis. I wish you
all blessing and I keenly look forward to hearing from you. Mostafa
currently resides in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.</blockquote></body>
