The Sources of Islamophobia and How To Deal With It

Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi analyses the goals of Islamophobia in America and the need for Muslims to comprehend the tricks game being adopted for the same. He advises a spiritual and pragmatic approach to be adopted. Shaykh Yasir goes on to examine the reason for this xenophobia and Islamophobia that is widely prevalent around us. The unprecedented hatred against the Muslims in this land, the rise of anti Islamophobic crimes and much more can be attributed largely to ignorance of the people and also due to genuine worry and fear for their own kith and kin. The hatred, animosity and misinterpretation that we see around us is actually the result of the people being terrified and scared due to the thought of having to part with his freedom and being jeopardised. At some level, they want to protect their civilization and this hatred is coming from this aspect. The oppositions are of two kinds : Genuinely deluded, scared and yet sincere people who we can hope to change for the better. Bonafide bigots and racists whom we should leave to Allah to deal with.
