style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">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, </FONT></SPAN><FONT

confusion and disarray. Even those who may not abandon faith entirely, are 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
