Why Islam need a reform - Social Worker

Muslims who claim there is nothing wrong in Islam has to explain to the world why terrorists kill in the name of Allah? Why do Sunni and Shiite continue to fight in Islam? And why slavery is still going on in Muslim-majority countries today? Again they should explain to the world that killing an infidel is a false doctrine, and the war in most Middle East countries has nothing to do with Islam.

In most terrorist attacks we see today, we heard the killers shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before exploding themselves and the people around. We saw this in Syria, Turkey, Nigeria, Somalia, Iraq, Brussel, Paris, London, US and other places. In the Isis videos where people were killed, the killers shouted "Allahu Akbar!" When Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Muslim Brotherhood, Taliban, Boko Haram, etc. releases videos calling for the death of people, they shout "Allahu Akbar" and claim to be Muslims. If the doctrines of Islam does not incite these people to kill, why do they cite the Quran and praise Allah for killing people? No religious groups call their supreme being "Allah," so these killers are automatically Muslims. And what they are doing is a crime against humanity.

So what does "Allahu Akbar" got to do with terrorism? Today in the western world, when you hear "Allahu Akbar" in the Metro Station, Bus Stop, or any social gathering you might run for your life or die through an explosion. Why are some people desperately seeking for ways to kill and praise Allah? If there exists an ideology which incites some Muslims to kill innocent souls and then praises Allah, then such an ideology MUST be defeated because it causes crime against humanity. Whether such doctrines are in the Quran, Hadith or any book, such an ideology cannot come from a divine being who you believe created ALL. How can such divine being incite you to kill others? For what purpose? Such narratives are not sacred rather it was written by bloodthirsty ancestors who are seeking the death of innocent souls because they want their ideology to conquer the rest of the world.

How can Sunnis and Shiite profess the belief in Allah but hold ancient grudges against each other? Why is this happening under the tenet of Allah? Does Allah condone such differences? Or this is a set-up by bloodthirsty ancestors who want to keep their ideology unique to conquer the rest of the Muslim world and the world as a whole? Today, a typical Sunni state like Saudi Arabia is working very hard to defeat Iran which is a Shiite country in the Middle East, and the vice versa. This kind of division exists almost in all the Abrahamic religions, but most of the followers do not realize that such groups lead to friction, grudges, killings, war, and others. This kind of division cannot be coming from the creator of the universe because the creator MUST embrace all.

Someone told me slavery does not exist in Islam. This is untrue because of most Muslim-majority countries today practice slavery. For example, there is slavery market in Libya now. Slavery is ongoing in Mauritania, Western Sahara, Saudi Arabia, etc. and there are quotations in the Quran that justify the use of unbelievers as slaves. Again there are laws in Islam on how to treat slaves. (Quran 33:50, Quran 23:5-6, Quran 4:24, Quran 8:69, Quran 24:32, Quran 2:178). As an African from Sub-Sahara, my experience teaches me to fight slavery today with all my might and strength because such practices make my race less human to others. We are a victim of slavery in the history of the world than any other race. Hence, if Islam condones enslaving unbelievers, and knowing that most of the people in the world are not Muslims, we cannot allow this to happen. Slavery of all kinds must end.

I have seen and heard from some Muslim clergies specifically in Saudi Arabia condoning the death of infidels. Terrorist groups like Al Qaeda, Isis, etc. has been releasing videos calling the death of infidels. Recently, one clergy claimed Muslim in Saudi Arabia should not mourn the death of people who died in Manchester stadium and Iran Parliament. How soulless can individuals who profess to be godly be? The wars in the Muslims nations is an alarming. A religion of peace should not have such conflicts manifesting to the world. Saudi Arabia is invading Yemen. Now Saudi Arabia and others Muslim majority countries have cut ties with Qatar. Now tell me there is nothing wrong in Islam?

All these pressing issues come to the point that Islam needs reform. Those who think Islam does not need a change either do not see the problems the rest of the world see with your religion or you support the death of innocent souls through your faith. Like any other Abrahamic religions, so many have died under the doctrines of men who claim it is divine so failing to abide by it means death. In most cases, people who comment on such pressing issues are met with threats, curses, and others. But such threats cannot stop the world from speaking against what is unjust. There will always be someone to talk against the unjust in the world. I will be coming out with many posts highlighting where Islam MUST reform.
