I think that political parties are fuelling this fear in order to create divisions. The more we bring up fear, the more we neglect real political issues. Political debate in France is crumbling since every single issue is brought to Islam now.

When I go back to the Quran I see that the context of Revelation is creation in its entirety. The universe is a Revelation and this of course includes nature, plants and animals. In other words, what is coming from the Quran as rules and objectives are set within the larger scheme of the universe and nature as part of Creation.

The process of reclaiming the self is one of reconciliation with meaning.

The message of Islam asks you to be intellectually, spiritually, socially, and politically independent

Saying that Islam is in heart, is similar to giving back the exam's paper completely white and saying : knowledge is in brain.

Your sensitivity is power. Don't let people transform your qualities into weaknesses.

I am saying the same to Muslims in the global South, telling them: "Just ignore what is done." However, in the Southern countries they are not living in a comfortable society like you and me. They deal with unemployment, corruption, and surviving. For the majority of them, their religion is helping them survive.
