🏵️🏵️It's important to recognize that Islam, at its core, advocates for peace and justice. The Quran emphasizes that there is no compulsion in religion (Quran 2:256) and encourages compassion and mercy (Quran 21:107). The actions of extremists misrepresent the teachings of Islam, which promotes dialogue and understanding. The Prophet Muhammad said, "The best of people are those that bring the most benefit to others," highlighting the importance of peace and goodwill. Robert, it is crucial to understand that the misuse of religious texts for violence does not reflect the true teachings of any faith, including Islam. Open discussions and mutual understanding can pave the way for harmony, and your insights could play a pivotal role in fostering this. How can we work together to promote a more accurate representation of faith that champions peace?
