Criticizing Islam is a favorite topic of American media, such as Fox News, the most famous of them. The workers in these stations are not fanatic Christians but are just opportunists who seek publicity and a monthly salary. But at the same time, they contribute to promoting Islam by raising the curiosity of their viewers to continue studying Islam. The result is the opposite, Islam is spreading in the United States. The problem is not in criticizing Islam or Christianity, but rather in providing misleading information. For example, Robert Spencer, an American anti-Islam author and activist, who criticize Islam without adhering to the lowest standards of credibility and objectivity, publishing false news about the discovery of a jihad training camp in the US state of Alabama. It is a simple example of the extent to which the likes of Spencer misleading Americans.
They demonize Muslims and raise the fear level of Americans and Europeans because that translates to more funds in their bank accounts. Another Conservative American journalist and activist, Brigitte Gabriel is another example of the industry of hate and bigotry. Brigitte claimed that she left her country Lebanon during the civil war because of Islamic jihadists. That lie is easy to expose because the parties to the conflict during the Lebanese civil war were belonging to communist, leftist and nationalist currents, and there were no Islamic jihad factions in Lebanon. Islamic extremists from all over the world were busy providing support to the states United in its conflict with the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.
Another important concern is the demographic dilemma, which is considered one of the favorite topics for the conservative media and the European right-wing parties. Mark Stein is one of the best people talking about the demographic issue, and I read a number of his books, one of which talks about the environment, and I like his style. I even sympathized with him when I read his book "America Alone" and that he was sued in Canada by Canadian Islamic organizations to ban the book and withdraw it from libraries. But he talks about the demographic problem as if Muslim women should refrain from having children to maintain population balance in Western countries and Europe. While he ignores the fact that Muslims play no role in the declining birth rate in western countries, Western media are promoting that they need immigration and that immigration is essential to save the Western civilization due to the declining birthrate. Corrupt European politicians are the cause of the problem, the low birth rate in Western countries caused by the attack on the family values due to the prevalence of contraceptives, congenital decay, pornography and abnormal relationships is one of the most important reasons for the decline in the number of births in the West. Surprisingly, those people who talk about the demographic problem are themselves childless or have given birth to one or two children at the most.
Extremists constitute a minority of more than a billion Muslims. Conservatives and their supporters want to wage an all-out war against Islam in the name of the clash of civilizations. But on the other side, some Islamic extremists promote similar propaganda. Extremism is a problem that exists among followers of all religions. Islam, Christianity, or Judaism has nothing to do with peace or war. It is a reflection of one's own actions, personality, and environment of the individual in which raised. Religion is considered a catalyst. If a convert to Islam was well-mannered and treated others with respect, Islam will be recognized through him. And if the converts to Islam were an evil, criminal and murderer, others would recognize Islam through him. Therefore, the role of religion in a person’s life is not fixed, it is altered, and dependent on the moral standards of the person himself.
